Animes better than the manga?

Same. I typically dislike fiction books(especially YA cliche-filled books nowadays...maze runner...hunger games...Divergent and The Host were cancer).

Frick. I actually finished those books and blocked them from my memory. Thanks a lot.

I actually enjoyed the first Hunger Games book...but I swear YA fiction is getting worse and worse. Maybe I'm just trying the wrong books...eh.

This.

Reading mangas I would always wonder things like what colour of clothes they're wearing and how their voices would be like.  Anime answers them for me.

The only downside to anime are the fillers.  Not all are bad though.

Color chapters and covers are usually good for that...even though they're only occasional.

I think the merits of anime over manga seem simple on paper, but in practice it's usually a lot different. Poor pacing can be pretty jarring, and ruin a good story flow. If the anime isn't well budgeted, it might also be trying to cram a ton of canon content into a few episodes with little regard for how well the scenes might be set up in the source material, which is beyond frustrating. 

In a perfect world, adaptations would deliver the same feelings as the source material, and then some, but I just find that's very rarely the case. 

I don't see why the heck people like them. Maze Runner, Hunger Games, and Divergent were written HORRIBLY. I'll admit, the Hunger Games movies just don't fit my taste. As for Maze Runner, the plot is overused.
