Manga vs Anime (Which do you prefer)

I typically prefer anime over manga, usually because the anime goes into more detail with the character's backstories or has them interact with each other more. Plus the story lasts a bit longer too, and with manga I feel the story ends a bit too soon. Though it also depends on what anime vs manga we're talking about. I still prefer the main Pokemon manga series to the anime since it retells the stories of the video games rather than being based around Ash. Plus the ones based around Ash are usually strange. xD
