Manga vs the anime?

Was thinking about manga that I loved but was very dissapointed with the anime version.

My biggest one- Black Cat. LOVED the manga but really just could not get on with the anime. Usually people tend to prefer what they saw/read first but I saw the anime first and still didnt like it. I just dont think the characters tranfered well to anime.

I can think of a few Manga iv'e read that iv'e never watched the anime, so would be interested in hearing what others thought of Chobits for example.

For me i preferred both Naruto and Deathnote anime versions, but mostly i tend to lean towards manga

chobits is charming whatever form you put it in - Che even tempted my mid 60's mother into watching the series, and she dislikes all forms of animation.

but seriously, it does translate well, and doesn't seem to skimp on many details, which is something that generally peeves me on any book to screen transfer

Oh my lord - watch Chobits! It's my go-to-anime! If you are ever feeling down - that will cheer you right up! The soundtrack is awesome - such feel-good songs :3

Naw okies
With so many recommendations hehe
