| Independence Day! |
Happy 4th of July for all you US residents/citizens/whatnot! I'm currently at AnimeExpo 2008 in Los Angeles, CA (USA)! And yet I'm still dedicated for this site... ><
PS: If anyone wants to meet me at AX (I'm attending all 4 days), pm me here and leave something like a cell # so that I can locate you within the crowd of 40,000+ people |

| New Poll - Consoles |
First, I realize I'm late (again) with the poll. Second, I'm lazy. So here's the easiest poll I could think of within 10 seconds. Just choose your favorite console! (I realize there is no choice of PC or "none". I did that for a reason)
You can discuss this poll on this thread: http://www.mangaupdates.com/showtopic.php?tid=6308 No flame wars please...
Previous Poll Results: Question: How unrealistic/cliched do you like your manga? Choices: Completely realistic and none of those stupid cliches - votes: 300 (3.6%) It has to seem real, but cliches DO happen in real life all the time! - votes: 1387 (16.9%) I don't mind some silliness, but the story had better be original - votes: 3764 (45.7%) Anything goes for me - votes: 2110 (25.6%) I like my manga as wild and fantastical as possible - votes: 670 (8.1%) There were 8231 total votes. The poll ended: June 29th 2008
I guess most of us are expecting some kind of fantasy to happen (hey, it's manga we're talking about), but we love the original plot sequences. Not too many people like the extremes |

| New Poll - Cliches |
Sorry for the REALLY late poll this week...I woke up late, had to take a car trip to my grandma's house for lunch (40-ish min drive), then went to a pool birthday party for twins that I know. Busy busy busy~
Member rabookal has suggested this new poll for us! Basically, do you like your manga to mimic real life? Or do you prefer the outrageous and impossible events, including all the cliches like "punk boy falls in love with beautiful princess of the school and actually gets her" or the typical "average male surrounded by tons of girls"...Anyways, you get the point...

Previous Poll Results: Question: Select the choice that best represents your feelings Choices: Manga > Anime - votes: 4143 (40.7%) Manga < Anime - votes: 304 (3%) Manga = Anime - votes: 619 (6.1%) Depends on the series - votes: 5107 (50.2%) There were 10173 total votes. The poll ended: June 21st 2008
As you can definitely see, many people think manga is better than anime (as to be expected as this IS a manga-orientated site). I'm interested to know what would happen if we repeated this poll on our anime side... But the clear winner is the poll of the choice that it really depends on the series. Some things just show better using animation, whether that be story, fight scenes, kissing scenes, you name it. As for manga, you usually got the original story line without fillers, a lot of room for length and development, among other things. |
