Always debating 'Anime vs. Manga' with others, what do you guys think?

I have two groups of people around me: one group thinks manga is the authentic experience and that anime adaptations are always changing things for the worse; the other group thinks anime is more impactful with the addition of voice acting, music, and animation.<br><br>I personally consume both, but if I had to choose... I lean towards anime because music and voice acting are very important to me. The Mugen Train arc in <i>Demon Slayer</i> would have been far less impactful without LiSA's songs.<br><br>However, my manga-purist friends say: "Go read the original <i>Berserk</i> and then talk." That actually makes sense too. What do you all think?
