This week's poll from drunkguy presupposes that you currently live in the real world, and then you're suddenly transported to a fantasy world (think magic, knights, fantasy creatures, etc). What's your end goal here? I'm purposely not adding an "other" option, but feel free to comment below with your most outlandish goals.

You can submit poll ideas here (and try to keep them manga/anime-related)

Overpopulation or loss of resources is the worst? Really?... Unfortunately, it's also one of the most likely to actually happen.

I still have zero fear of overpopulation or the loss of resources but Food, water, and shelter would be my No.1 priority at all times as the human instinct to survive is our most powerful drive. Duh.

I have zero interest in having a harem as that would destroy any man mentally over time.
A reverse harem sounds even more foolish if you ask me. Getting magic abilities out of nowhere would corrupt me within days i suspect so these would be a double edged sword. Sci-Fi > Fantasy

Getting food, water and shelter of course and once that's done i would start trying to find what kind of world i'm in and act accordingly, i wouldn't have any interest in coming back that's for sure.

Obviously, "Food, water, and shelter" would be the #1 priority wherever you go, but as long as you don't end up in a desert-like area you should be able to find something one way or another.
I voted for "Learn magic" since it'd be a waste to end up in a fantasy world and not learn it.

What I find interesting, however, is how quickly the poll results have changed - when I voted ~2hrs ago "Food, water, and shelter" was winning with 34.x% and "Learn magic" was following closely at 32.x%. Now the first option dropped to 28.5% while magic climbed slowly to 35.7%.
I'm curious to find out whether the results will keep changing this way (or in reverse).

For a second, I was tempted to vote for "Obtain a harem". But I only meant that as I joke. I wonder whether those who've voted for it meant it as such as well.

Being the lazy person that I am, I'm not likely to accept anything long-term though.

Of course my first reaction was learn magic that would be cool but I would rather blend in with the locals and then you can also have a chance at learning magic perhaps. Sure food, water and shelter are important needs that need to be met but this is only a short term solution imo and blending in is more long term.

I'm going to be short-sighted and illogical and vote for "Learn magic." I mean, the 1st, 2nd and last options are obviously the more sensible ones, but it's not everyday you end up in a world with magic, so...


Says the man whose all-time favourite manga is Berserk!? You traitor!

I honestly think "Food, water and shelter" is a bit out of place here, all the other stuff may be optional but if the fantasy world isn't absolutely crazy, you gotta eat to survive.
I went with "Learn Magic", it's the most interesting choice for me.

Same for me except about getting a harem part that would of been third on my list

Hmm...Learning magic would be my first priority...with it I'll be easily able too obtain Food, water, and shelter(if you got, what I mean)...
Hmm...Harem(elves^^) is CooL and All...but, after becoming a stronger, I will go for the Boss...
World Domination isn't my cup of tea...Too Bothersome ~!

I'd learn magic and *then* work on my harem...
Harems work better if they can't run away. :3

When I said 'death' before 'dishonor', I meant alphabetically.

Imagine what would happen if there were no more hypothetical situations.

Food, water, and shelter of course. I was wavering between that and learn magic, but depending on the fantasy world, there's no guarantee that you'll be able to do magic so I went with food and etc.

I think the question could have been phrased better. While food, water and shelter is obviously the top priority, it's far from being an end goal.
I voted for "Blend in with the locals" because, while I'd probably like to go back to the real world, it usually takes lots and lots of troubles, pain and suffering to do that in this kind of story, and I'm not up for that XD


As a prank, instead, I'd act like some kind of prophet from an other dimension, now that would be cool.

C'mon guys seriusly? Of course 'learn magic' should be first. It is by far the best option as it implies first that you will make it through the day, and that you are going to look for somebody to teach you.

Take it this way: if you were going to move to another country, what would be your first priority? Mine would be learning magic....once you have magic powers, everything else should be much easier (in the long term at least).

Learn magic. Every fantasy world is sure to have its fair share of overpowered jerks, right? Rather than live my life cowering in fear, I'd want to learn how to defend myself.

Too bad, "Find a hot humanoid lover" isn't an option. I'm too loyal for a harem.
