I actually watched a few of the first anime episodes on TV before I read the manga, that was what sparked my interest. The channel was discontinued so I never did get to see the entire anime. I didn't really know if SDK was a manga or not, so I searched for it. Obviously, it was a manga. I'm very glad that I found it online. (Even if there is a huge gap after ch. 134...still
) Back to the subject. As soon as I was done with the first few chapters I was definitely sure that the manga was much, much (much) better than the anime. The story has a lot more depth and the characters are much more rounded. As far as I've gotten in comparing the anime and the manga, I would definetely recommend the manga over the anime.
