Correction. I was reading/watching them almost parallel for a short while, then I took a break from the manga because the anime seemed to be carrying the story at the same clip. The story eventually took turns I didn't like, dropped characters I did like and seemed to start going in circles story wise and, eventually, I dropped the anime from my regular watching list (though I saw it off and on on cartoon network), and had to be persuaded back into reading the manga because I'd figured the plot lines had stayed the same.
I don't use ANN because I prefer to form opinions for myself, and things can be written to sound great on paper and turn out being not as good as advertised. I'd rather watch and decide than letting a reviewer on ANN shape the show for me, especially since things that determine whether I like the show (handling of plot, art, quality of animation, design use in show) usually aren't covered in reviews like that.
