I like the manga because it goes waaaaay more in depth with the story and characters and motivations. It isn't like the anime where it's "OH MAN SUDDEN SUPER SRS," since the manga is mostly serious in tone for the whole series. Plus the motivations of Knives are actually pretty legit (unlike the anime with "that one guy beat me! fuck all humans!") and I find myself agreeing with him, oop. :x
