IIRC the first manga I read was Berserk and it was because the anime (the 90s one) ended right at the point in the story where it is fully established why the main character is so angry and wants revenge so bad

Haha, I'm not sure how much getting into the manga helped in that case. Not sure well ever get a real ending to that story.
The pacing in manga (especially compared to any adaptations) is almost always better. With only a handful of exceptions, anime is too dragged out, which ruins action, humor, and drama alike. It shouldn't take 22 minutes to adapt ~5 minutes of manga content. I said what I said.
The Exiled Heavy Knight anime discussion is basically all about how much of a trainwreck the pacing is. I basically read the manga just to see how the story is supposed to go, because the anime would spend 22 minutes on one-and-a-half chapters. That's DBZ Frieza saga levels of pacing.
I will say, light novels are usually better than their anime counterparts as well. I should compare light novels to manga adaptations though.
This is actually waaaaaay less of a problem than it used to be. It's a bummer that we usually get shorter seasons now, but the tradeoff is that it's far less common for filler to be injected into the story to drag things out than it used to be.
Now read the LN for the next stage of enlightenment xD
Damn those season-length advertisements! The amount of those is as high as rent.
Out of topic :) Will frieren manga continue?
Still on indefinite hiatus I believe. It's had many, though, so no reason to believe it wouldn't.
It goes on hiatus when the author is working on an anime season and season 3 is expected for the Fall 2027 season. and who knows if it's going to be a long one like season 1 was, or if it be just 12 episodes to do the next arc.
