well i bought and read my first ever manga last month, i was totally gutteted when i got to the end and was only 6 episodes into the series! i found the anime and watched the rest but when i watch the first 6 episodes i was amazed at how diff it was from the manga. why dont they just make it the same? seems a bit odd

It's because they can't putt all the stuff that is in the manga in a anime movie else the serie will be more then 26 episodes. if you watch naruto you will see that its almost the same but because of that were now at episode 200+ !bawling

The reason manga differs from anime, is the same reason any literary work gets gutted cinematically. Artist interpretation of the original work(ego), budgets in anime vs. manga, and media translation problems. Though ballons only work in comics, don't believe me recall Spiderman on the Electric Company.

I like the fact that Naruto's still ongoing, I like the story and don't want it to end for now. Although I do hate the fillers, but we're over that (for now).
The story in the manga is getting better and better! So I can't wait to see them animated ^^

hmm i guess that's why getting both manga and anime is usually the thing to in my opinion, at least we're able to get the best of both worlds and if anything gets cutoff on anime, it could be on the manga for sure.

True, though usually not much is cut out, I think.
I must admit I'm not a huge reader of manga, but one thing that I do like is the fact that they keep the pace in the manga (unlike the anime sometimes, eg. Naruto). Also that the story keeps going even if the anime ends sometimes (like Gantz).

Ahhh, fruits basket. They did screw up that series mightily.
The other answers pretty much sum it up, but might i also emphasize the point that sometimes a series is so popular they start animating before the manga has revealed some vital plot points.
Personally i've always liked the changes from the anime to the manga, even if it doesn't stick true to the story it gives you a different angle and sometimes adds a bit extra to the series. I actually don't like it when the anime is the same as the manga.
Be prepared for many more manga to anime stuff-ups though. _.

that's one thing i like in some mangas, there's continuations not just with the major stories or arcs but with the whole.

hmm... well, when it comes down to it, it is nearly impossible it to be perfectly copied. this is for one major reason...
COLLABORATION!!!
whenever a COLLABORATION is done, things change, and a tiny change spirals out of control, and you land up with a different end product.

I watched the anime first but was disappointed that it didnt have everything the manga did, I wish they would follow the mangas when they make them into anime too, though I know it would make the animes longer. I read the manga after so I could see what I missed.

i really hope they do manga a season 2 of this manga. it was a really good anime series.. until it ened half way
