Literally every scene from the manga is in the anime, drawn near enough identical. It's just some artists are better.
Eh, not quite so. There are many instances where the Anime looks at it from a different angle...or the Manga image is a page tall. Also, the images that have a lot of little things going on at once often get broken down into drawn out sets of individual pieces...

And...there's the whole thing about quality. Over 90% of the time, it looks genuinly better in the Manga, and sloppier in the Anime...

And a big testament to this is the way they handled Super Saiyan Aura's, and Chi in general. Just look at the Goku image with his hand out. Great example. In the Manga his hand gets this flourescent "Glow" around the outside, whereas the Anime actually forms a ball of Chi. The Aura, also, is a semi-clear radiant gold, wherea's the Manga is a flame of white.

Many differences...indeed...

I wouldn't say those changes were much to be honest, only minor differences like Freeza killing Karugo instead of Dodoria doing it.

The story line stays intact, most images are copied directly from the manga. Including backgrounds, characters and what they do.The anime would naturually look sloppier since it's not the official artists who created DBZ, it was Toriyama, so he's the best artist of them all! :)

Haha. I know you've compare the Cell Junior vs. Gohan fights before, and that was not left intact.
