[QUOTE="Alzrius, post: 649464, member: 8461"] Welcome to the EN World boards Tenken! :) I've been buying the original manga since I got here (Japan), having watched the anime (TV series only) back in America. I like the manga better than the anime for a few reasons. The anime has quite a few filler episodes. While this is understandable, I find that the works based on the actual manga are much better than those that were made up just to add time to the series, such as the mini-arc with Kenshin and those pirates led by a woman. Another reason is that the TV series has some minor editing of things from the manga (in the manga, we get to see Hanya's face, for example). Probably my main reason for my opinion that the manga is better though is that, as far as I understand it (not having seen all of the TV series), the anime never deals with Enishi and his gang coming to get revenge on Kenshin for Kaoru's death, which is an incredible plotline in the manga. The TV series instead ends with the "Christian saga" which while good (from what I hear), isn't the same as the highly personal vendetta that Enishi carries. All in all though, the series is quite good, and I enjoy it a lot, though its not my single most favorite anime. [/QUOTE]
