Both the anime and the manga are equally as good as each other. I have been a fan of that series for a long time and I have no problems going back and re-watching or re-reading it over and over again.
Also Stein has to be my favorite as well. Also, Death the Kid
I know I'll probably look like a huge poser for this but I just started watching the anime on toonami and it looks promising but blackstar looks like a naruto ripoff. But the show looks promising. Is the manga any different or better than the anime?
Sorry i didn't explain it really well, in the first half of the manga (from number 1 to 6 i think) they were draw like childs of 10 years, not 14 as they are....sorry i'm not english so it's understandable that you didn't understood me
Holy crap YES. I watched the anime, loved it (still do!). I decided to read the manga and compare it to the anime.
At first I didn't like the manga, but it stuck in my brain, a lot like another manga I like, Nana. Nana is kinda mundane at first, but it STICKS. Soul Eater manga was like that, too.
As I read on (I'm reading vol. 6 right now), the art and writing gets better. I can see where the anime got a lot of its style. It's from the manga, but you can't tell by reading the first two volumes.
P.S Stein and Chrona are my favourites
