The manga version was better since it was so fast paced. Most manga make fastpaced battles look stupid 80% of the time but I feel that Mashima's effect is better plus it really feels badass. And which is why I got so pissed in the original anime where they completely ruined the pacing by extending it. It just makes them look weaker.
