Temple of Ranma's Sailor Senshi Seifuku

Many of us have a preference. It tends to affect our discussions and arguments at some point. But I never bothered to notice which came up more often, so I thought that something like this might be a bit enlightening. Or the work of the devil. Who knows?

I chose no preference as well, mostly because while I generally prefer the Manga as a base to each there is enough good add in the Animes that most of us use it without thinking.

The anime of Sailor Moon is the second that I've ever seen, and the first that I could identify as such when I first learned what anime was. The manga I've never paid much attention to.

I've seen some of Ranma 1/2's episodes, and read a few chapters, but I don't think I really prefer one or the other.

While I generally prefer the Ranma manga, there are some instances where I prefer the anime. For example, Gosunkugi and Kodachi were much more likeable in the anime, and both characters had episodes dedicated to them which were pretty nice. Artwork in the anime in the later seasons suffered greatly.

As for SM, I prefer the anime. The feel is completely different. It's CAMPY, which makes it memorable, at least to me and the people I know in real life (especially those who watched the localized version, which turns the camp dial up to 11). Besides the artwork in the manga is... kinda bad.

Manga for Ranma 1/2 (as the anime has too much adaptation decay)

Anime for SM, but in hindsight I probably should have checked both. Unlike R1/2 these are different universes both of which have their own strong points... And their weak ponts. SM anime is silly, goofy and mixes well with Ranma. SM manga is nice dark and lovecraftey but too short and the drawing style makes your eyes plead for mercy.

Yeah, the SM anime does extend the series quite a bit (the Generals last quite a bit longer, for one example ), so there's a bit more story to it.
