Mate I never said the only reason people got into the manga because of the anime. I'm well aware that the manga was quite popular pre-anime, but you also can't deny how much more popular it has gotten post-anime. And no the reason for an anime isn't soley to get people interested in the manga, The reason for an anime is to make more money out of the same idea. The way the anime was executed with the added filler which was enjoyable paired with the absolutly supurb soundtrack and animation it really just gave the series in general a massive leap forward to future success.
