CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

Going on from the movie forum thread, post animes that made you read the manga here!

i've only got one, which is Akira

Yu-Yu and Rurouni Kenshin.
Both were quit good actually.

Fruits Basket!! Well I haven't read it yet but I am going to buy it for sure once it comes out in January.

Petshop of Horrors.


And, I plan to read the Trigun manga as it comes out in English. I think I'm getting the first volume as a Christmas present. After that... well, I want it all.

I tend to read the manga after watching the series. Trying to get away from that. It kinda ruins the story.

Anywho...
Love Hina
Chobits
Inu Yasha
FLCL

This happened in reverse to me The FLCL manga made me want to see the anime. But the anime is a whole alot better than the manga but the manga is totally different from the anime.

Naruto, Yu Yu Hakusho, Trigun ^^

Naruto

Naruto,Azumanga Daioh,Trigun

Hmm... The manga is so rediculously different... Not all manga to anime adaptations are that off...

I'd say

Pokemon (I bought 6 of them when the manga debuted here)
Sailormoon (I bought 3 issues and a TPB)
Nadesico
Kodocha

and manga that made me want to watch the anime:

Evangelion
Marmalade Boy
Bubblegum Crisis

BTW, little trivia... Marmalade came from the Greek for Honey and Apple, but it's actually made of oranges... How did people get apples from oranges?

Several:

- Rurouni Kenshin
- Excel Saga
- Onnegai Teacher
- Trigun
- Pilot Candidate

And just for a twist, the Full Metal Panic manga made me want to watch the anime.

NARUTO and TRIGUN ^_^ like evry one

I might end up getting the Kenshin manga...
Interestingly, the Chobits manga made me watch the anime

Watching the St Tail anime made me want to read the mangas. They're pretty good too!

> Fruits Basket!! Well I haven't read it yet but I am going to buy it for sure once it comes out in January.

Boku mo!! Since I can't find out what Akito's deep secret is from the anime, I guess it'll have to be in print. *saves pennies*

And I will be buying the final Ranma manga when Viz finally finishes releasing them all, since that's the one where they get married ... sort of.

The only anime series that made me want to read the manga was Berserk, because the anime ends with a maddening cliffhanger (it was never finished). I still haven't, but I probably will at some point.

Please Save My Earth
and i want to read fruits basket too

most of the time i read manga than watch anime tho....

On the subject of "Very Different," the first manga I bought was Lupin III. I liked Miyazaki's Castle of Caligostro, so I figured I'd get the manga. I really can't recommend this one on CAA.

Rurouni kenshin is the only one for me. ive read lots of manga and seen anime of the same but rurouni kenshin is the only one that i thought "hey teh show was good lets take a alook at the manga" i like kenshin in anime and manga. i watch it on CTN but it kinda sucks edited. ive never seen the show unedited but the manga kinda gives a hint to what its like.

Well its usaully the oppsite for me(because dvds are so exspensive)Mobile Suit Gundam 0079 did that for me.

I'm getting the Kenshin manga tomorrow, most likely. I've got the first season (Eps. 1-27) on DVD, and I want the rest...they said the Jinchuu Arc hadn't been animated, but what's the third season of Kenshin then? Second season is Legends of Kyoto, where they fight [spoiler]Shishio[/spoiler]. I'm also going to get a few anime dvds...I'll check out Grave of the Fireflies, Fruits Basket, and another one I saw mentioned....

The thirrd season in the anime is a filler christian one. Although I havent seen it

Yea, I just recently got into manga, now I have more manga than anime hehee.
Here goes:

Ah My Goddess
Magic Knight Rayearth
Cardcaptor Sakura
Fushigi Yugi
Fruits Basket (comes out in Feb)
Pilot Candidate (comes out in April)
Rurouni Kenshin
Inuyasha
. Hack / /
Trigun
Zoids

^_^

Mobile Suit Gundam really got me interested in the manga, Mobile Suit Gundam 0079. It's pretty much the retelling of the t.v. series.

Manga ish good stuff. Anime that made me read the manga....Kenshin, Evangelion, Yu Yu Hakusho...and I think that's it.

I read manga a LOOOT more than I watch anime. I mean, some manga is only 8 bucks a pop now, as opposed to 25 bucks for a DVD that only has like 2-4 episodes on it.

Cowboy Bebop The mangas ar

First of all... Tet-cahn... i love the avatar. Second, azumanga daioh made me get the manga (actually it was a Christmas gift) and i have heard a lot about the Battle Angel manga. I saw the anime... eh... so so... but the manga is supposed to be worlds better.
