This week's poll was suggested by residentgrigo. We've recently (i.e., in the last few years) had Western adaptations of stuff like Cowboy Bebop, Alita: Battle Angel, Ghost in the Shell. Think these are a step in the right direction or just firing a miss?

I don't think many of you realize that the red numbers for most recently chapter in your reading lists are driven by the releases that are added here
Good afternoon,
MangaUpdates will have a scheduled downtime tomorrow (April 28) from 5pm to 7pm PDT (8pm to 10pm EDT) for database upgrades.
Thank you for your consideration and patience!
This week's poll is a bit selfish. I'm planning on taking a less active role in MangaUpdates at some point in the future. Over the past 16 years, I've added about 40% of the releases historically, perhaps closer to 80% of the recent releases. Since it appears most people don't add releases themselves, we're trying to gauge how drastically my leave would affect the site.

I was amused by orochijes' "Time to save the Romanovs". I watched the animated Anastasia as a child.
If you had the opportunity to change the past, would you? Kill Hitler as a baby? Warn the population about a huge natural disaster? Try and prevent a war? Or is changing the past too dangerous?

In a few days is the infamous April Fools' Day (April 1st). At MU, we [color=red]WILL NOT[/color] tolerate any fake/joke releases being reported/announced to us (on any day, not just April Fools). If we, by accident, allow a fake release to get through, please report the mistake to us (either via a [sitelink=submit.html?act=add_change]Change Request[/sitelink] form, through the forum, post a comment in this news post, send me a private message, or you can email me at lambchopsil@mangaupdates.com if you are not a registered member here).
As you have been warned against doing it, if we discover a person still attempting to post a joke release here, that person will be dealt with. Severe action will be taken upon that scanlation group.
Thank you for considering our request to remain as accurate as possible for our members.
