User blog comment:LittleZoldyck/Manga, Anime series, or Both?/@comment-10851935-20140117195635

I was reading the manga since 8 without knowing about the anime adaptation. The next thing I know years later is there's a remake going on since 2011.

As I've seen both, the manga is much more brutal and explicit than the two anime series, however the anime makes it more epic with the soundtracks and stuff.
