Should i watch the Anime first or play the Game?
What would be better. After i do one the other will be less fun to do.

I would say game first, then anime later.
The show will give a bit different perspective of some characters, but it wasn't as good as the game's story though.

Game is better in my opinion.

The game came first

If you're dediicated, you can watch and play it simultaneously but I would start with the game first as the anime does add extra (unneeded)"drama" and plots that the game doesn't have.

Play the game first an then read the Manga.
The Anime isn't worth it in my opinion.

Definetly play the game first. The anime has a couple of neat ideas (added additional characters and some minor changes) but they also made some major changes to the main characters (They're all idiots in the anime imo)

Also due to those changes one major plot twist at the end of the game doesn't exist in the anime (which is pretty sad to be honest)
I also think that you can appreciate the changes they did (atleast the good ones) more if you know what's supposed to happen.

Can confirm that... I watched the first episode. The "spy" thing is dragged out, Welkin didn't bother to explain himself and Alicia seriously didn't know what stick grenades are...

I watched anime first and then played the game and I had a blast both times. I would recommend that order because the game is more detailed and you get to command the squad so there is a lot to do even if you already know base story.

If you play the game first you will probably be bored with anime. :deadsheep:

Only watch the anime if you hate yourself.

Skip it.

Is the anime spoils the game or not at all?

the anime spoils the game and vice versa

I personally love the manga's story better. It gives good depth to the main characters, more focus and drama but not as distorted as the anime.
The manga cuts quite some stories, so it also leaves you lots of new things to discover in game / anime. In fact you won't even see Han the Squad 7 mascot.
Perhaps what is most important is ends is obviously unfinished (cut short at Chapter 14), which leaves you wonder what happens next and make you (me) play the game.

I am playing and watching anime at roughly the same progress. You can test a few chapters / episodes to see which one you prefer.
To be honest I prefer the game more than anime, and I am not against skipping it. Your mileage may vary.

I think the anime spoils a good deal of the game story, but not all.
For example I am pretty disappointed that the Vasel Bridge cutscene didn't make it to the anime.

Or if you hate Alicia. Because I felt like she was being treated like dirt throughout the majority of the anime.
