So much hate... I guess that's what happens with the tried and true? Or maybe it's just too much "tried" and not enough "true" |

| New Poll - Love Triangles |
This week's poll comes from our member AliceinAmestris. So how do you like those love triangles? Seems like a staple scenario in most romance series.

Martial arts, archery, and then e-sports. Video games was a joke, so it's amusing to see how many votes they got. (And I combined the results of the 2 Cycling options that I accidentally had) |

| New Poll - Sports |
This week's poll about sports was suggested by our member nowyat. The choices are definitely non-exhaustive and are arranged in no particular order. I did not include a choice "Other" on purpose (as with the "None" option), so please choose your favorite out of the ones available. Although you can comment below if you have another favorite that isn't on the list! (And yes, I put in that e-sports one at the end just for the heck of it)
Edit: Whoops, I put "Cycling" twice. Oh well

Just English (most likely you're American) - votes: 2913 (18.3%)
English and... (meaning you're the rest of the world) - votes: 7360 (46.2%)
Three (above average) - votes: 4196 (26.3%)
Four (exceptionally learned) - votes: 979 (6.1%)
Five or more (approaching godly status) - votes: 499 (3.1%)

It is perfectly fine to only know 1 language well (including me), but it seems the majority knows plenty of languages! And I realize "proficiently" is very subjective. We're not using the results of these polls for anything, so that's alright. It's a poll for fun, not a full-blown survey. |

| New Poll - Known Languages |
This week's poll comes from our member ashi. We're just curious how many languages you proficiently know. Interpret that how you want, but I guess the typical meaning would be that you can more or less read, speak, and listen to stuff in that language. (And the comment next to each answer is just for fun, so don't take it the wrong way.) And yes, we're assuming you know at least English, as this is primarily an English website.

Question: How much ecchi does a good series need?
Choices:
Lots and lots! - votes: 1438 (10.4%)
Just enough to make it funny - votes: 5964 (43.2%)
None at all - votes: 6408 (46.4%)
There were 13810 total votes.
The poll ended: April 28th 2012
Yes, I know I forgot the option of "Don't care," but it was too late when I realized my mistake. With most votes going to the "none" option, I'm curious to see if that means ecchi is not necessary to making a good series or if that means no ecchi makes a series good. But that won't be a future poll... |

| New Poll - Amount of Ecchi |
This week's poll comes from our member BlackOrion. He's wondering how much ecchi do you like in your manga. Of course it's subjective, but hey, so are most of these polls!

That's pretty dead even between author and artist. Dang... I guess opinions are split on this, eh? |
