I always prefer manga over anime. Usually, when I compare anime and manga, there are almost always changes. Sometimes the plot of an episode can be different of a volume. The only thing I never seen change, is the character design of the current design of that time. Bassically, I like the originall preceedings unless the change really does improve it overall.
A good portion of anime adapted from manga are released when the manga becomes popular, but of course anime progresses through it's story faster (or else gets filler [Ex: Naruto Filler Hell]) thus inevitably ending in 'anime original' endings most of the time. Though there are times when the anime original ending is better than the manga ending, they are usually mediocre.
