New Poll - Favorite Genre (edited)
Yeah, it's a generic poll...All genres were taken from our Genre page, so if you don't know what a particular genre is, check that out. I realize that "doujinshi" doesn't really count as a genre, but whatever...
Some of you will be at odds with which genre to choose since I put up EVERY genre we have, so be decisive and click the button!
You're welcome to discuss your genres here:
http://www.mangaupdates.com/showtopic.php?tid=8104
And in case you were wondering, this is actually the first time we repeated a poll. (The previous genre poll was...2005...)
As for all of you that voted in the beta recommendation system poll, thank you for your vote! We hope to develop that system better in the near future.
Edit: That sure was interesting, hahaha. Just to tell you guys, before I changed the poll, romance was beating yaoi (by about 20 votes)! Anyways, if you didn't know, I changed some of the options of the poll, and everyone gets to vote again~
I still think that several of the options don't count as "genres" really, but oh well.

This is a bit of a WIDE WIDE, choice list. You should've added a mixed option.
» lambchopsil on October 4th, 2008, 2:16pm
I just decided against doing that...
» MadameRed on October 4th, 2008, 2:24pm
yaoi might actually win i guess

That's what it seems like... Power is in the hands of the fangirls. Rofl.

Why are Shoujo/Shounen/Josei/Seinen listed as genres? Because..... They're not. I know you said you just took it from the genres page, but still. D:
» torrentchan on October 4th, 2008, 4:22pm
Still what? As mentioned, it was taken out of the genre list, so shoujo/shounen and whatever are listed there automatically. Those "they're not" genres, were added into the genre list to allow users to take it to theur advantage-- so dont mind the small details, it make you sound short >_>

Why can't I vote after I check the results...?
» SilentNN on October 5th, 2008, 11:32am
That the opposite for me. For as long as I've been on MU, I would see the option to vote again after voting. This usually happens a day or more after I vote, but I'm not too sure since I wasn't counting.
Any ideas as to why the system doesn't remember that I've already voted. I mean I've voted in the same poll many many times, although I'm not sure whether any or all of them even counted.

it would be better if we can choose more than one genre.
even series itself doesn't just limit in one category.

It was quite obvious which genre holds the highest chance of winning-- since there are too many wide choices for one to make-- that, and the yaoi fangirls cannot be beaten when united!
I voted for the obvious winner, of course ~_~

I totally voted for Romance, but im suprised to see Yaoi...
It does look like a big list but pairing types or anything else would have probly forced people to vote for stuff they didn't really want to vote for.

>< please.
» Curium on October 4th, 2008, 11:01pm
I don't see why you are so surprised. yaoi fans have way too much power. there are nearly as many yaoi releases daily as there are almost all other genres combined (some days there are less, but in general).
» torrentchan on October 5th, 2008, 12:00am
Darn, yaoi is off the list. No fun >_>
Just a yaoi fangirl talking, but i think te only reason why romance was winning before was because people want to make yaoi lose. Yep Yep Yep, yaoi will always be top for me >_<

what should i vote if i choose yaoi then??romance??smut??
» SweetNymph on October 4th, 2008, 7:09pm
I think this poll is going to have some warped results. Most mangas are a mixture of several genres. Personally, I like Romance Comedy Shoujo best. Romance without Comedy tends to be drawn out, overly angsty, soap opera-esque, and boring. Ditto for Yaoi without Comedy. Comedy without Shoujo Romance tends to be ridonkulous, aimed at males, and not funny to me.
» rymara on October 4th, 2008, 8:19pm
I can't answer, none of the genres I like are listed lol 
» gwengwel on October 4th, 2008, 8:29pm
it's the same for me!!!
» DemonPrincess on October 4th, 2008, 9:00pm
why was shoujo ai, yuri, shounen ai and yaoi taken out?
» Yeran on October 4th, 2008, 9:01pm
Maybe they all count as romance? @_@
» Hostile on October 4th, 2008, 10:29pm
I can't choose harem w/out shounen and ecchi, romance w/out comedy, action w/out comedy, and on it goes. The poll obviously needs more options! >_>
» Sosseres on October 5th, 2008, 2:12am
From what you said it was comedy you should pick. All your options had comedy included, thus making that the required part.
» magistar on October 4th, 2008, 11:13pm
very interesting poll 
seems like romance is owning thus far :3

» jenina on October 5th, 2008, 4:05am
My favorite genre is shonenai or yaoi i vote yaoi in the beta version.
I think it must be on the list its a genre . Now i don't no what to vote .
Romance ofcourse but i like yaoi/shonenai with adventure, fantasy, drama and many more so now i don't vote. Or the poll must give more options to votes.

Aw, lame edit is lame.
» cat75 on October 5th, 2008, 3:05pm
I think it is interesting cuz it makes you choose between your favorites, like what do I prefer more between my favorites, romance or comedy? I prefer romance!
» Uz3r667 on October 5th, 2008, 5:08pm
1st: Romance 2nd:Comedy 3rd:Ecchi
I was thinking since romance won, do another poll, whats the best Romance type?
-Romance,Drama
-Romance,Comedy
-Romance,Fantasy
-Romance, ect...
but, now that i think about it. since comedy got 2nd...
winner will probally be Romance,Comedy. and that is a common combo...beyond that Romance,Comedy,Ecchi is also a common combonation..
