I start the same way as you Nick, except in cases where I discovered the manga months or years before any anime was announced. There is no need to read FMA or Dragon Ball manga btw. Sure the ORIGINAL Dragon Ball anime is pathetic, but that's only cause they never made a proper remake for it outside of the games and movies while Z got Kai as a full remake. The original DB was my first real manga collection and I have read the volumes I own to death and it distressed me that they changed some things in the anime.
