In general, how would you prefer to read your manga titles?

Native Language/Lettering (Kanji, Hiragana, etc.)
Roman Lettering (Romaji, Pinyin, etc.)
In My Native Language
I Don't Care, as long as I know what it is


I hope this suggestion makes sense, but just to explain ..
For example you have the manga 死がふたりを分 かつまで which is the manga title in it's original language, japanese. Then you have Shi ga Futari o Wakatsu Made the same manga but with its romanization, romaji. Then the manga is also known as Until Death Do Us Part which is in my native language, english.

So yeah, I don't think there has been this suggestion before, but change it around however you see fit. It's kind of interesting because on lists, there really isn't any consistency to how a manga title is written, some are in romaji or just the english title.... hmmmm.

You should add English as a choice because even if it is your native language there are some that favor English but don't have it as native language (Think French, Dutch, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Norwegian, Russian, etc)

Do you think there is a strong enough distinction between manga intended for adults and for children? I refer to such things as smoking, drug use, sex, violence, ect. How much reality is acceptable at what age level?

Under 18 should not be able to view adult manga so easily.
As long as the content is clearly labeled, it's just a matter of adult supervision.
Smoking, drug use, etc., type manga should be on a separate, adult-only section of the internet.
The internet should be free-use to all ages.
Any problems are due to a generational gap and a lack of understanding of what manga is.


This poll suggestion could be way better and I ask for revamps. I was mainly thinking about the smoking. Smokers in manga always look so cool, but I'm an adult, so I know I can't afford to waste money on cigarettes...

P.S. As long as I get the original sense, I am happy, but I only read English. I really respect multi-linguitsts. My foreign language store is pitiful. And I like my manga realistic, but with ghosts and dragons and stuff. If I love a manga, I read it all the way through for each new episode.

wich of the following character anime clichés would you like to be?
-the boy/ girl who has to save everyone
-the beautiful girl/boy with a nasty personality
-the guy/girl that once without glasses is beautiful
-the evil twin brother/sister
-the guy/girl who looks weak but in reality is extremely powerful
-the guy/girl who looks dumb but in reality is extremely smart
-the anapealling hero/heroine who is loved by everyone.
-the hero/heroine who seeks revenge
-none of the above!!

i had another idea.. that´s really similar -> in wich of the following anime cliché situations would you like to be?.... but i am to lazy to complete it >.<

p.s. if my redaction, grammar, vocabulary, etc... sucks... well, blame my english teacher xD

how about something like, "after reading manga or watching anime, have you ever tried drawing something?" you can phrase it better, but something like that?

yes, it came out nice

yes, but it didn't come out well

no, let the pros do it

My humble idea:

Which type of adaptation do you think generally turns out better?

-An anime based on a manga.
-A manga based on an anime.
-I've never noticed a difference.
-I generally stick with one or the other, so I don't know. {<-- i.e. I read manga a lot more than I watch anime, so I'm not the best person to ask this question }



This question could also be expanded to include live action, novels, and audio dramas.

is the you online:
-the real you
-or the fake?

the point is to see how people define what 'real' is.

another one:
does reading manga not directed at your age affect your way of thinking?
-yes
-no
-don't know
