New Poll - Starting a Cancelled Series

This week, our member Viki.kdrama is wondering if you would start a series that has already been cancelled (whether that be after 10 chapters or 100 chapters). It's like how Netflix cancels a lot of their shows only after a season or two, but would you still watch that show?

Question: Do you like it when chapters have specific names?

New Poll - Underrepresented Geographical Area

This week's poll was suggested by Karonhioktha. Most series take place in the country of origin (manga in Japan, manhua in China, manhwa in Korea, etc.), so what other real world locales should be represented instead?

Question: Scanlator is starting to translate a completed series that has lots of extra side content sprinkled throughout the story. They should...

Choices:

  • Translate in order of release regardless of main story vs. side content - votes: 1365 (72.9%)
  • Prioritize the main story then go back and translate the extras - votes: 508 (27.1%)

Many people pointed out that the side story tends to be only relevant whenever it was released. Without context, a side story tends to be meaningless

New Poll - Main Story vs. Side Story

This week's poll was suggested by our member AUOdere. If a scanlation group is picking up a series that is already completed in the original language and it has a lot of extra content sprinkled throughout the series, should they prioritize the main story first or keep everything chronological?
