Coming from someone such as myself who has read/watched Manga/Anime for the last 20 years, the answer, in my opinion, is both.
A good Manga is completely detailed, as the Creator intended with as many volumes as it requires for the series to be complete in most cases. I find if I read for long enough it ends up running like a movie in my mind anyway. You can really appreciate the artwork on each page and re-read over your favourite sections as much as you like. The downside is the cost I suppose, well here in Australia anyway. $15 generally per book, compared to when I was in Japan and paying only 500 yen and less for titles. The ones that were for 1500 yen were the size of phone books! I also find once I am done reading a Manga series, I tend not to read it again...and it goes onto my bookshelf.
Anime is a more casual approach I find. There is not as much detail as it's Manga and most dubs are terrible. However, there are always exceptions. Anime is good for watching with a few friends too, because you can't all huddle around a book right? haha. Anime music is a wonderful thing also. It's a genre of it's own really in my books. Some of my favourite music of all time comes from different Anime series! Guys, seriously...avoid Tokyopop titles? They really water down their releases. Madman went to hell some time ago. I haven't watched Anime in a long time, mostly because I feel a lot of the material out these days is not fresh. I understand it's difficult, but also the age of digital I feel animation has become lazy. It looks -too- clean and precise. Boring. Bring back cell work! Maybe I'm just jaded. Anime without Manga can work very well too I might add.
My all time top 5 Manga (in order):
1.) Angel Sanctuary 2.) Initial-D 3.) GTO 4.) xxxHolic 5.) Lucky Raccoon
My all time top 5 Anime (in order):
1.) Neon Genesis Evangelion (it is a SIN not to watch this if you like Anime) 2.) Street Fighter 2: The Animated Movie 3.) Cowboy Bebop 4.) Jojo's Bizarre Adventure 5.) The Cyberpunk Collection
There is no clear winner between the two, just enjoy what you want.
