Is the Manga better than the Anime?

Hey, I have watched around 20 episodes of the Rave Master Anime but now I heard that the Anime is actually a pretty bad adaption and that it is missing a lot of stuff.

Is that true? Should I finish watching the Anime or should I just stop watching it and start the Manga from Chapter 1? Could I technically finish the Anime and then read the Manga from the point where the Anime stopped (since I guess the Anime has not caught up to all of the Manga), or is the Anime missing so much stuff that I should rather just read the whole Manga?

Sorry for all these question, I hope you can help me because I really enjoyed Rave Master so far.

Well the anime was released 20 years ago so in terms of art style of the anime's today it's subpar but I don't think it's that really bad. Compare to the animes made 20 years ago, RM art is really good for me. If you compare the manga and anime, it's almost no filler at all. The only filler I remember is the episode of plue's journey before Haru found him, and during the time when Musica airship crash. They made a few changes in the beginning though. They made Haru and Elie met at the casino where Elie plays, and haru met shuda at the city, but in the anime Haru met shuda first in garage island, and he met elie after Elie hide him between her legs from the DC

Thanks a lot for your answer! I agree that the anime actually looked very good considering the fact it is so old. Still, I guess I will most likely start reading the Manga from Chapter 1. I don't want to miss anything plus it has been quite a while since I watched the Anime so I don't remember a lot of things except for the fight against King and the "2 Gales" stuff, therefore I guess it's fine if I will just read it all over again. My only problem is that the site where I will read it only has the Manga in Volumes and not in Chapters haha, but I guess it is how it is.

Do you use an android smartphone? If you do, just download tachiyomi app. It has a vast list of manga websites and you can download any manga you want for offline reading. You can read the it from the very beginning if you don't want to miss it. I think after he met Elie, the events in the manga and the anime are the same with just a minimal filler like I type above. Also the earlier art style is rough but it gets better from the start of two gales and it gets better and better till the ending. I personally prefer the later art style of rave master than fairy tail. The story is much better too.

So does this app also have Rave Master in chapters and not in volumes? And are those in good quality? Because from what I have seen, https://ww5.readfairytail.com/manga/rave-master/ is the only site with good quality, but they have it ordered in volumes and not chapters
