How I usually do things is watch the anime as long as it continues to follow the manga's story, then drop the anime and pick up the manga when the split occurs. I also skip all fillers and research what episodes are filler. However, I'm wondering if its a good thing to watch anime then transition to manga like this. I'm doing this right now for DGM and just got to episode 60 and am planning to stop when it splits or stops following the manga. I'm interested in these 3 series and am not sure how to proceed with them. Do you guys think I should go with my usual method or straight up read the manga only? Is the experience better only reading the manga? Are the anime versions good?

DGM has little or no filler. most of them are either form manga or light novel side story. If you don't like those kind of fillers then don't watch Fairy tail. It has more filler than DGM. It still follow the manga, but it will some couple random eps like DGM.

Pandora Hearts, the anime, follows the manga's story fairly closely up to and including episode 22. Once you've watched these 22 episodes, you can pick up the manga. The anime covers the first seven volumes.

Well for the most part I think it really only has one or two filler episodes after major arcs, some of are pretty funny too like body swaps, and one similar to love potion gone wrong (but with a twist). Only real exception being a few episodes around episode 69 with a filler arc, though the last couple in the filler line (74, 75) were good for giving a couple of characters some highlight. Out of the so far 111 episodes about 12 have been filler. As far as I am aware Fairy Tail anime has followed well, with the manga about one arc ahead or so. The Pandora Hearts anime aint bad either, I think the anime just decided in the last episode or so to have its own kind of conclusion, but apart from that it is close. |

If you are really only interested in faithfulness to the manga with no filler then why bother with the anime at all? You should just read the manga. Every anime no matter how faithful needs to change things or move things around or expand or compress things to fit the 25 minute format. It is a different medium after all. So why not skip all the possible changes and stick to the manga. I don't read manga. I only watch anime and I don't think I have ever seen someone post on a forum that the anime was better than the manga, no matter how bad the story. Even if what I saw was the most awesome thing ever there will always be someone who will post " not bad... but the manga did it better and they should have done that instead!" So if your focus is fidelity to the manga story line you should just stick with the manga, instead of doing all of this research on how the anime varies and which episodes to avoid and when to jump to the manga. |

I never get people who refuse to watch anime-original content to the point of "Okay, I'll watch these 4 episodes, skip 2, then watch 3, skip 1". Seems like it'd break the flow of the narrative.

The filler already does destroy the narrative flow of the story in some series *coughBleachcough*, so it's the same thing either way, so I might as well skip it. In series where the filler is more integrated into the story and less obvious and rampant then I agree with you, that there's no need to skip them.

DGM you mean? Yeah, I didn't really mind those too much. They didn't seem to interfere with the story. |

I just don't watch shonen anime anymore, and just stick to the manga. Life's too short and money's too tight for filler and bad animation.
And if an anime is based on a manga/novel/whatever, I usually check to see the fidelity of the adaption, whether the source material has ended, and if the anime has or will get a proper conclusion. |
