I agree with CC23. I started with the anime, and watched purely that up until I got caught up somewhere in the early stages of the Dressrosa Arc. So I've only beeen a manga reader for about a year or so, and even after reading just a few chapters, watching the anime was never the same again. I noticed all types of inconsistencies and differences, which I would have never cared about before. I still love it, and I still watch it faithfully. Mostly just because as easily as they can ruin a scene, they can make one better. The list is too long for me to name all my personal examples, but I think its very clear that the anime is a necessary evil. People want to see motion, hear the sounds, and feel the moments as they happen. There's certain things a manga just can't convey as well without those things.
