My introduction to the series was through the anime, so my preferences tend to have that bias. I can see how the deviation from the manga gets frustrating. At least there aren't three unrelated tellings, like Tenchi Muyo. I've read about 40 of the AMG manga so far, and I was surprised at how well they were adapted to the anime. Changes here and there, of course, but overall a good retelling. Not to mention the advantage of the drawing continuity that comes from not being stretched out over 20 years.
Now I'm getting into the manga, but the voices in my head as I read it will always match the anime. The manga can only draw out how important music is to the story, but the anime let you listen. I hope they eventually come up with a third season--maybe incorporating the parents or the racing queen arcs.
