Speaking as a fan of aspects of both the anime and the manga....
The anime is easier to write for. More wiggle room, I t'ink. Of course, you also have to ignore certain...ummm... grey areas of logic. Especially when you're talking about the Ginzoushou. (And why can I never spell that thing the same way twice? Or correctly, for that matter.)
Although, the manga is MUCH better in some points. It has a much better characterization for some of the characters. (The Outers come to mind immediately. Pluto especially. Guh. Anime characterization? WHAT characterization? No wonder so many writers try to show her as a "manipulating time bitch." >_'main cast'. They get shuffled off until the last season, because it won't fit the plot. Ummm...yeah, now I'm ranting. I'll be good.)
Besides. The anime has Nephrite's sacrifice for Naru. Which is pretty darn close to my favorite scene of all time. ( Which is why I'm annoyed I can't see any way to bring him back in AtST. Poor guy. *grumble*)
Anyways.
Personally, I like a blend of the manga and the anime. Mostly anime, with manga to flesh out areas that aren't covered very well. (Which leads to this hideous bastard child that gets you criticism from both manga AND anime fans. What fun! Fear the series with rabid fan bases! ^_-)
Besides, Tuxedo Mask is actually...you know...decent in the manga. Personally, I couldn't stand him in the anime. But the manga.... I actually kinda liked him.
Right. I'm rambling again. I'll shut up now. ^^
