New Poll - Preferred Manga Consumption Method
This poll from our member mewarmo990 has a large assumption: money is not an issue. Other than that, it's a poll that may seem pretty familiar. (And lots of big words in the title)

You can discuss this poll on our forums here:
http://www.mangaupdates.com/showtopic.php?tid=31487

You can submit poll ideas here (and try to keep them manga/anime-related):
http://www.mangaupdates.com/showtopic.php?tid=3903


Previous Poll Results:
Question: Harem in manga
Choices:
Love them! - votes: 2569 (16.7%)
Only like it if it's romance and/or ecchi - votes: 2916 (18.9%)
I like the reverse harem more - votes: 3040 (19.7%)

Interesting... The results were pretty even. I'm surprised that the reverse harem option got so many votes!

New Poll - Reading Harem
Our member ScytheMaster14 suggested this poll on harem in manga (and manhua and manhwa). I feel it's a pretty straight forward post, so vote away!

Many of us have probably only eaten ramen and sushi. The others are not as well known, at least in the states.

New Poll - Japanese Food
We rarely have food polls, so why not use nowyat's suggestion? The list of 10 items is of course non-exhaustive, and I purposely didn't have options for "None of the above" or "Other" or "All of the above." Just choose what's available. And on a tangent, I haven't read Yakitate!! Japan in a long time... You know, I used to scanlate that.

But hey, if you have a favorite food that's not on the list, tell us in the forums!

Previous Poll Results:
Question: Do you watch TV dramas based on manga/anime?
Choices:
Yes, and I love them! - votes: 1293 (10.6%)
I've watched some, and they're mostly okay - votes: 3642 (29.7%)
Seen some, and I don't like many (or any at all) - votes: 2828 (23.1%)
Haven't seen any - votes: 4482 (36.6%)
There were 12245 total votes.
The poll ended: January 7th 2012

Then again, not everyone watches TV dramas in general. Although I did start watching ABC's Once Upon a Time because my roommate (who never watches these things) recommended it

Edit: I just realized I should've put sashimi on that list. Too late...

Happy New Year! And New Poll - TV Drama Based on Manga/Anime
First off, Happy New Year! Even though technically it isn't January 1st year for me or the official site time, might as well lump this post along with the new poll, right? Besides, it's the new year for a lot of the world by now...

This week's poll comes from the mind of our member zweeb. Going on with last week's poll on "drama," here's another one of a different kind. Have you watched any TV dramas based on manga/anime? They can be any of any origin (like I know Hana Yori Dango has Taiwanese, Japanese, and Korean TV dramas).

Previous Poll Results:
Question: How much drama do you want in a series with romance?
Choices:
A whole lot - votes: 1460 (10.3%)
Just enough to make it interesting - votes: 10225 (72.2%)
Barely any - votes: 1454 (10.3%)
None at all - votes: 242 (1.7%)
I don't read/care about romance - votes: 781 (5.5%)
There were 14162 total votes.
The poll ended: December 31st 2011

Typical results... Seems most of us read romance though!
