So anime wins. To be expected. Kinda sad that the runner-up is the ones who don't like adaptations at all
This week's poll comes from StaticHD. Onto the subject of adaptations! For a series that you like, how would you best like it to be adapted to another form of media (if at all)?

One of our least popular recent polls (maybe THE least popular). I guess many of you just don't blog. Xanga anyone? Although I think Tumblr is the current fad.
So how's the blogosphere coming along? This week's poll is from icassop.

Think it's kiddish, don't you? It'd be interesting to see how many of you would introduce your (future) children to anime/manga. For another time, I guess
This week's poll comes from the mind of mu2020. Let's talk about your parents, shall we? Since they're of the older crowd, I do doubt they've tried, but we shall see!

Previous Poll Results:
Question: In manga, do you consider the majority of characters to be Asian?
Choices:
Always do - votes: 4071 (31.9%)
No, they look Caucasian - votes: 1982 (15.5%)
Only when portrayed in Asian society - votes: 6728 (52.6%)

I've always found the anime eyes fascinating since most Asians have small eyes (including me)
This week's poll comes from StaticHD. Basically, do you just assume characters are Asian in manga, manhua, and manhwa? Fair enough assumption in my opinion...

The poll ended: October 6th 2012
Most of us don't mind the occasional side branch, but get on with the main plot!
This week's poll comes from our member jacob66. To what degree do you like side stories or "filler" arcs in terms of their duration? Perhaps a little wordy...

Continue reading the series - votes: 8613 (73.5%)

Spoilers won't phase most of you, eh? I guess if you're already invested in the series, might as well finish it even though you already know you'll be unhappy with the ending.
This week's poll is from our member xCrystal. The question is a little long, and it applies to a very specific situation, but have at it. Ichigo 100% anyone? I bet most of us would still keep reading, but we'd be super mad in the end.

Question: Would paper quality affect your decision to buy a physical copy of the manga?
Choices:
Paper quality matters a lot! - votes: 1999 (18%)
I'd buy as long as paper quality was above a certain minimum value - votes: 6219 (56.1%)

There were 11076 total votes.
The poll ended: September 22nd 2012
The follow-up question is what is your "minimum"... As a side comment, it's amazing how people don't accidentally tear their Bibles apart since many Bibles use the thinnest paper you'd ever see in a book.
This poll from icassop is about paper quality. Does it even matter to you at all? And if so, to what degree? You can answer the poll regardless of whether you buy physical manga or not.

Question: Do you think it is morally / ethically wrong to scanlate or distribute published material?
Choices:
Yes - votes: 2260 (19.7%)
No - votes: 9218 (80.3%)
There were 11478 total votes.
The poll ended: September 15th 2012
This poll was more about the comments than the actual poll itself. Judge for yourself, given the high amount of constructive activity on the issue.
One of our site admins, Toto, suggested this poll. It's a question of whether you think it's morally or ethically wrong to scanlate. This isn't about the legitimacy of scanlations.
On another note (this will probably never be a poll question) but is it morally/ethically wrong to pirate music, movies, games, and/or software? Even if the said thing you are pirating is not sold in your country and/or is not in your native language? Where would you draw that moral line?

I dislike spicy foods. Tongue can't handle it. (And that comment has nothing to do with the poll results)
This week's poll from Lorska is a bit more abstract. And no mixing flavors for this poll!

"Someone I like to be" should've been a choice. My bad.
