If you had all the time in the world, meaning you were an immortal, would you create a manga/comic version of your story and then adapt it into a fanime/anime/cartoon or would you skip the manga/comic process for last and go straight to creating the fanime/anime/cartoon version?
There are some pros and cons to both, but which one would you do first, since your immortal?
I would go with the animated version first, because the actions, sounds, music, and overall work put in it can be very rewarding. Especially when a character you created is given life through multiple images. Although animations provide a great feeling of achievement, comics seem to be the best way to tell a story. Not a quarter of the story, third or half the story, but telling the story until you run out of ideas and conclude it. I think that's why comics are proven to be more successful financial and in terms of completion. In my opinion, you would create a comic first if you were hoping to later adapt it into an animated series but wait till you have a good amount of followers, crew, or financial support. The amount of comic/manga producers seems to be rising, but I've yet to see a fanga(fanime-manga hybrid) posted from within the fanime community or maybe it's because I seldomly use tumblr.
Lol, where are the fanga producers at?

I am dying for the moment where I can finally start a web comic. I just wanted to get my animation project out of the way before I tackled it, considering it's a sequel to my current project.
If I could do it over, I would just make a webcomic of my current animation project and maybe adapt the best scenes to animate and post on YouTube. Granted, I'm getting practice with animation, but at the same time it's a little unreasonable in my opinion to tackle 99% of the process solo, especially when my ultimate goal is quality. Realistically, if I wanted to fully animate/render the entire movie, it would take me years, not that it already hasn't.... but I mean years upon years upon years. Which is why I'm planning to change things up a little after my next part is released.

I do both comics and animation right now! I actually have a hard time visualizing ideas and an even harder time transferring them to artwork, so drawing the comics first are an important step for me in sorting out what's in my head enough to animate it.
As I'm always saying, though, 20 Galaxies is a loooong story. Even if I was immortal, I wonder if I'd be able to animate it fast enough to keep up with changing technologies among other things.

I love making webcomics. I have actually had one that I used to do in highschool, and it was pretty successful (despite being just doodles where the main focus was the story). As for now though, if I was immortal I'd definitely do both a webcomic and an animation. I think I'd do the webcomic first, animation second. I'd probably animate the whole thing, but I'd do what all adaptations do and leave some stuff out. Mainly for time reasons.

it really depends on the story for me because when i see things it is primarily visual/audio based, (which is probably why its so hard for me to actually release things because seeing the whole episode for myself takes time to actually sit down and do nothing but that) so when i come up with something what i see of the story most closely resembles an animation. Obviously for most things i make this is the preferred way to transfer it to the real world, animating would most accurately represent just what i see to show others. there are some things where i just feel like i want to show it through stills and let others interpret it themselves (only one of these ideas has ever come off the ground and even then kinda halted around a year ago because i needed to redo a whole page.) So really if i had all the time ever it would solely be about pushing out whatever i see first, as that is really the only reason i got into visual story-telling/story-telling at all. Showing others the things i see is really top priority to me. so of course animation is king in the land of me. (odd man out i know but its just really important to me)

I enjoy both and am in fact doing both at the same time 'cause I don't know how to do things one step at a time. On one hand I can see the story unfold a little quicker in my comic and on the other hand I can watch my characters breeeeeaath and move (and give me evils) in an animated format, which is always a joy to me. It's very exciting! Sooooooo yeah!

I'm at sort of an in between but I've always enjoyed animation more so that's what I end up posting. For story boarding I do (poorly drawn) sketches on paper and then (not as poorly drawn) sketches digitally which is sort of like doing both. It takes an unnecessarily long time especially considering the fact that I could just skip one or possibly both of those processes. It would make sense for me to do that if I had infinite time, but I do it anyways! I never went through with a comic (so that's why I never posted any online), but at the same time I've also never went through with a whole animated series as well.
In the end if I actually did have infinite time, I'd be doing trying to do anything and everything that interests me. I would be trying to make comics, animations, art commissions, music, games, stories, and even masks for costumes (and perhaps other things I may be forgetting). When I do each doesn't concern me very much, but I already strive for that goal though...
