Many people who commented said they're fine with any topic as long as it was done well, so they're basically fine with anything
This week's poll is from residentgrigo. It's a bit long-winded, but the scenario we're talking about is a series you are already reading (and hopefully like), then suddenly it brings up a topic out of left field that makes you wanna drop the series. Does this happen to you?

Wow, 3 choices got most of the votes
This week's poll was suggested by Karonhioktha. The poll probably doesn't have the option you want, but oh well. I feel like anime based off manga are generally alright anyways. Now if it was a movie based off a game, I'd be a lot more fearful.

This last poll really divided some people...
I'm surprised we never had this poll before. It's actually a really good question to ask the community. The question was submitted by shiarisu.

How many of you would actually finish a 200+ episode anime?...
This week's poll is similar to the one a few weeks ago about long manga series, but our member zeazea suggested anime. I didn't like zeazea's options though, so I made it more similar to the manga poll.
For comparison's sake, here's some numbers for the number of episodes (taken from Wikipedia), Please note that some of these are still ongoing, so the numbers are as of today:
Original Naruto: 220
Naruto: Shippuden: 500
Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters (original in US): 224
Pokemon (original): 279
Dragon Ball Z: 291
Bleach: 366
One Piece: 797
Crayon Shin-chan: 937
Doraemon (2005): 865
Doraemon (1979): 1787
Sazae-san: 7542

A lot of us are lazy
This week's poll from KaoriNite is a little random. How do you eat your apples? I wanted to keep it simple, so I didn't include options for slicing vs. eating whole, or removing stem vs. leaving it in, or eating from top-down vs. bottom-up.

Of the people with regular schedules, between 6-7 appears to be the most popular. I guess another poll could be how early do you wake up before your first scheduled activity (like work or school), or how long does it take you to get ready to leave your home between waking up and actually leaving?
This week's poll was suggested by VawX. It's a simple one, so no reason not to vote!

This week's poll was suggested by Yask. Are you embarrassed to be a fan of manga/anime? Do you hide this hobby of yours from other people?

The main story must go one!
This is sort of related to the length of a manga series. Our member jacob66 was interested in your opinion in manga fillers. With manga, filler would be chapters that don't contribute to the main plot line (or even side plot lines), of course assuming the series even has a main plot line. It could be a couple of chapters of fan service. Or it could be an entire multi-chapter arc that's basically self-contained and never referenced to again.

Even 50 volumes is a lot!
Karonhioktha is wondering when a manga series outstays its welcome. When is a series too long? For some perspective, the current longest series is Kochira Katsushika-ku Kameari Kōen-mae Hashutsujo with 200 volumes. Golgo 13 is at 184. Naruto only got to 72, while Bleach was 74. One Piece is still going with 85. There's even a Wikipedia article at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_manga_series_by_volume_count . You'll notice that most of the series are shounen. I guess shoujo know when to quit.
