I've read the translated manga from Mixx and seen both the dubbed
and subbed anime.First off let me say that I absolutely love the manga
and artbook images.They have an elegance and air of style that I really
enjoy.The anime does have a nice look but one look at an artbook pic
and you never think of Usagi in the same way.Next let's move on to
plot:I saw the dic version and read the first few manga volumes.Now,
let me tell ya.......I got really confused by the manga.If you only see
the
DIC version and you read the manga try to forget all you have seen
and heard because it'll only confuse the heck out of you.The plot in the
manga is much more complex and there are small little details you
notice that are not present in the anime.There is also more character
development in the manga.The anime's plot is pretty good though
sometimes the DIC version of Usagi is enough to drive one to drink.
If you really like the anime you'll like the manga even more.One plus
to the anime is you can see the series all the way through,the manga
is'nt all translated yet.You can find the fansubbed tapes if you look
hard enough.In my(humble)opinion I like the manga better than the
anime.Though the plot can be a bit confusing at times the look and
excellent character development more than make up for it.I'm not
saying the anime is bad just that I prefer the manga.In conclusion,
the anime rocks but the manga rocks even harder ^_^
