Manga's usually better than the anime because the manga is more concise, to the point, the art is better, and 9 times of 10 the manga is written first and the anime made later.
And anime is really popular now, so a lot of American cartoons are mimicing the style. Though no matter how much Teen Titans or Avatar look like anime, they're not.
Little trivia fact: when Osamu Tezuka was making Astroboy, which first really created the style that anime takes today, he based it a lot off of Disney-style animation. Compare Disney-style to anime-style, and you'll see a lot of similarities.
Names being more original? Rarely are names of characters changed between the manga and anime, unless it's an English translation and the company who dubbed the anime changed the names (manga are not edited nearly as heavily as anime are).
Of course they are. You can just skim through the wretched things faster when you're reading the manga.

I did that in my other post....which you keep coneveniently avoiding. I'd also like to add to that though. Inuyasha is an idiot, unadaptable, horribly brazen, and he should have died each an every time he engaged Sesshomaru in battle.
Kagome may the only one worse than he is.
Now please, address the question with an actual answer this time. You're not making a very strong case here.

That's because they translated it into the literal romaji. The names were always intended to be Krillin and Tien, but you can't write them like that in Japanese. Just like my name would be written as Arana or Ayana in Japanese, yours would be Karubin, etc. And it's written as Kuririn, anyway
No, they are actually much much shorter in the manga. What covers 60 episodes in the anime is usually done with in an issue or two of the manga.
(goodness I gave you a complement...)
Done! I feel the same way. Sorry!
And all I've seen you seen you say is Inuyasha is lame. Before now, you hadn't explained yourself at all, there was no need for me to refer to any of your previous posts. Again, your opinion of the characters are, your opinions. End of story. For example, I like the fact that he's so brazen, well, that's my opinion. I really don't see the point in telling you how he's not lame, because your opinions are that he is, and mine's is that he's not, and y'all are getting like, majorly upset, when I'm the one defending a character and I'm calm. I like how Inuyasha pretends to be really heartless when he's actually pretty soft inside, his attitude, how he argues with like, everyone, and, I like the romance between him and Kagome. These are some reasons I like him, and if you don't,...so.

I told you exactly what was wrong with the show in a previous post, so I did explain myself. Your liking the fact that the show sucks doesn't make it good. I like Sailor Moon, but I still recognize that it isn't the greatest show. Inuyasha is a stock character, face it.
What's not lame about being an idiot?
Oh, and I am not upset at all. I don't have anything against you, and we are just discussing something. Why would I be upset?

I suggest If you want to debate in this thread you actually read the thread. But I want to get tis straight. You're saying you like the fact he's a flat character and how during the whole series you know he and Kagome like eachother? Inuyasha has extremely repitive fights, story arcs, romances that NEVER DEVELOP.
The only thing i ever hear them say is:
Inuyasha: KAGOME!
Kagome: INUYASHA!
Inuyasha: KAGOME!
Kagome: INUYASHA!
Inuyasha: KAGOME!
Kagome: INUYASHA!
And yes, It goes on for 170 or so episodes. I don't know why Cartoon network showed it for so long when other shows, better show, could have been shown instead. Go to a village being terrorized by a demon, save the village, and gain a jewel shard. Do that 1000 times and you have Inuyasha. I'll compare Inuyasha, the show into a stock photo in photoshop:
If you take a picture, in large it, you get a shitty, pixely picture. You take a show, You stretch it out and you get a shitty, thinned out show called inuyasha.
I bet You'll respond to this post with some retoical post about how Inuyasha has a meaning, but what most people don’t know is that if you scrutinize anything hard enough, you’re bound to find hidden meanings that probably weren’t intended.
Final Verdict: Inuyasha does indeed, SUCK.

P.S. The Post StyleTime wanted you to reply to was this, on page 3:

I think anime should stay and live forever. Even though they can take BoBoBo-BoBo (something like that) off the air. I LOVE Inuyasha,I think it's the best anime.
No, before, you didn't say how Inuyasha as a character was bad until recently. And obviously if I don't think he's an idiot, I'm not going to think he's lame. You disliking the show, doesn't make it bad.
Glad to know you're not upset by the way.
Um, yeah, I did read the thread. It's your opinion he's flat, but yeah, maybe I do like it. I already said it's slow, which is irritating, but I'm saying there's no way someone can just flat out call Inuyasha a bad show. It has its flaws(repetitiveness) and its good points (the characters and overall storyline). End of story.
Final Verdict: Your opionion is indeed your opinion.
P.S. All ST said was Inuyasha was a lame character. He didn't in any way explain how he, as a character was lame. Why don't you try reading the thread. Thanks.

Hmmm..
If you read the thread, then how did you still urge Styletime to spout his opinion of the show and tell how it was a bad show? Don't try to cover lies with even more lies, as in the end you're left looking like an oaf. You're saying the characters are it's good points?
You make me laugh.
You say You like that Inuyasha is a flat character,, but yet you say that's one of the strong points of the show, thus contradicting yourself and ruining your whole case thus far.
I know my opinion is my opinion. Example: Our opinion of Hitler is that he was a monster, a bad person. You saying Inuyasha is good, is like the Nazis Saying Hitler was a genius.
P.S. Why don't you even look at YOUR OWN POSTS to see what you asked him and then look at the context of his post that I quoted. I'm Sure It'll help ya out

That was a pretty good one. Funny actually. But I'm afraid I've already done that so... 
I feel the same way. Sorry!
