From the people I know, most Anime fans are just that, Anime fans.
Manga is pretty much a whole different world from Anime. You can't even
find more than 2 links at Anipike about Hunter X Hunter despite the series
having some unbelievable popularity. Mention Kenshin to my Anime Club and
most people will know it, but most of them have never heard of Hunter X
Hunter whose manga has about 3X more fan feedback for volume 6's favorite
character contest than Kenshin ever did at any point of the manga.
I can assure you most anime fans probably have never even heard of the
most 5 or so popular manga series I see in stores regularly. Anime and
manga are just two different worlds.

Well, they've to make the series cheaper somehow, because $30 per 2
episodes or whatever is simply too much when you've 150 or whatever
episodes.
