I watched the anime a few years ago and have just finished the manga.
Not gonna lie I thought the manga was like 100 chapters or something, so I'm shocked to see it only has 40 sum chapters.
Anyway, I loved the anime as well as the manga.
I do however wish the anime added an extra episode following the manga, but oh well, I'm satisfied with what I got.
Also, if it ever does get translated from Japanese to English, I hope they do it like they did with Great Pretender. I liked how all the characters had their own accents. I know that's a lot to ask for, but I mean, I think it'd make the anime a bit more realistic!
I don't think I'll ever get over this, especially the part where Ash was buried with Dino's name and not his family's.
