What's the best way to get the story? -

Now we are seeing the same story told in multiple formats. If you could only choose one, how would you like to get the story?

The manga of course. Though not always the case, I've seen where time and time again the anime is good but a bit of a disappointment when it doesn't measure up to the manga. I think that more care is taken when writing the manga.

A light novel, since with that, you can get all aspects of the story. You can more background information, I feel, the scenes can be more elaborated on, and you can get more of the characters' thoughts. After light novel, I'd go with manga.

It's a toss up between manga and light novel for me. It's great having pictures to go with your words but sometimes you'd like the kind of descriptions you'd get from novels to better explain certain characters and their environments.
I find manga a bit sensationalistic at times, since visuals play a big part in the storytelling, there is much emphasis on character designs, poses etc... The only story I can think of that was told through both novel and manga is Battle Royale. The already rather sensationalistic novel is taken even further by its manga counterpart. Here we had copious amounts of explicit sex (sex was still talked about in the novel, just much, much more tastefully) and the kind of action that would put Die Hard to shame (there was even some weird, quasi Dragon Ball Z Ki fight in there too). I'm sure not all manga adaptations are this exaggerated but I do think they would be more sensationalistic than their novel counterparts. Anime is something I've never gotten into.

If all three are available - light novel.
9 times out of 10, the light novel version is the original - with the others following. If the anime or manga were the original, I might choose the manga over the light novel. Anime would probably be my last choice. Adaptations are rarely as good as the original.

oh really i thought manga was normally the original.
the only anime i knew where the novel was the original was the melancholy of haruhi suzumiya... then again i dont really pay attention to that kinda stuff  「えっ、知らないの？ ずくだんずんぶんぐんゲーム。」
