I read the manga first, then tried to watch the anime, but the anime felt too pretentious. Like it was trying too hard to be sad and human and meaningful instead of just letting things happen naturally. It's not like the manga was fantastic either, but the anime was really pulling out all the stops in a very obvious manner, trying to wring out an emotional response from the viewer by any means possible. "Hey, it's a new episode, let's kill off another undeveloped and pointless side character, yay!" That kind of feeling. It's not a BAD anime per se, just kinda meh.
