Has seeing the anime ever made you want to read the manga?

Same here as mellow, I got into manga because I was into anime... I actually was into anime for a looooong looong time, just didn't know that it was any different from spider man and batman, they where all cartoons to me. I was watching DBZ, Kimagure Orange road, Saint seiya, and other stuff that was on TV when I was a kid.
First time I read a manga was Dragon Ball, borrowed them from a friend.
First subbed anime (along with the discovery of what was anime) was probably Love Hina. First scanlations was Berserk. I was going into an anime frenzy by that time, and after watching Berserk I had a feeling that I was missing something, that feeling kept bugging me until I discovered that the manga was still ongoing. And then I transformed into a manga addict, and barely watches anime anymore. (Specially after discovering that half the animes I watched were messed up versions of the manga: Berserk, Kenshin, Flame of recca, etc... to name a few)
Oh and heardtheowl, I have a pretty convenient memory... I'm a guy that could forget my parents faces if I didn't meet them everyday (same goes with voices). So It doesn't bother me at all, what I started first... (I'm exaggerating a little about my parents though... you know)

That's actually how I got into manga.
It's vice versa for me 😀 Reading manga got me into watching anime 😃

Nah doesn't happen often, or happened but i won't remember it anyway. Because when i watch the anime i don't touch the manga, when i read the manga i want to touch the anime.. I see no logic in that but whatever 😀

plus, sometime anime changes totally different from the original. The original is more specific etc... sometime when i read the manga after the anime 'accidentally' i don't get a thing.. -_-

I can't think of an anime I've watched first, partly because I'm just more of a reader than a tv-watcher, and partly because until last summer I was on dialup. 🤢
I did start reading Kimi wa Petto manga after watching the dorama, though.

I just remembered - "Howl's Moving Castle". After watching that (I love Ghiblis!!) I read the book it was based on. It wasn't manga, though.

For me it's usually the manga that gets me hooked on to watching its anime counter part. But there have been instants when I started watching the anime and then went over to reading the manga version.
