Yeah, it seems Menewsha's having some trouble with posting. o-o

I would more recommend the manga to the anime, unless you don't mind all of the card games. xD I mean, of course there's a lot of that in the manga, but hardly happens at all (twice?) until book six+ (probably after that... I can't remember! It's been too long). It mostly focuses on other games first. The manga's plot and characterization are also a lot different in the anime.

Right now, I'm slowly plowing through Soul Eater. Very slowly. I lose interest too easily in new (to me) series...
