This week's poll is from jacob66. I find this one really interesting! Of course ideally you'd want every part of a story to be great...

This week's poll was suggested by Rasparr. It's a continuation of a poll from a few weeks ago. Many of you either seldom or never buy merchandise, so the natural thing to ask is why? The choices won't fit every situation, so feel free to comment below!

I guess the natural follow-up would be to ask if the doujinshi you do read are of the 18+ nature or something tamer.
The basis of this week's poll was prompted by kitty1826x. Let's assume there's a manga/anime series that you like. Do you read any doujinshi related to that series?

This week's poll was suggested by F_J. Have you ever managed to convince someone else to try out anime/manga, and they became a fan for life? Or maybe it's just a secret hobby that no one else knows about...

And e-sports has risen up above martial arts. The new has come, the old has gone away.
We did this poll 5 years ago, but princess_bubblegum suggested we do it again. The options are similar to last time, with a couple of additions and changes. I left the e-sports option as a joke answer, but still missing are things that would be considered board games. And the absence of a "None" or "Other" option is on purpose, so deal with it. Last time, the top 3 were martial arts, archery, and e-sports.

This week's poll was suggested by crankyllama. There's tons of anime/manga merchandise out there like posters, figurines, plushies, art books, pillows, etc. Do you collect or buy that kind of thing?

RIP Carrie Fisher
I realized I didn't define Oppai for you guys, yet it was still the second top choice
This week's fun little poll was suggested by Natsuyasumin. The intent is that manga often has a panel of "what is this feeling?", so fill in the blank. I also put in my own troll answers that have nothing to do with manga... Obviously not all-inclusive of every emotion you could possibly feel.

Yes, I understand that your answer depends on how good you think the series is. That's why I said it "seems alright". But anyways, most of you read pretty quickly!
Another poll from Karonhioktha. Basically assuming a series of average interest, how long would it take for you to read the series with all the rest of the busyness of life in mind?

Now I wonder if you prefer anime or manga...
This week's poll comes from Karonhioktha. Since you're on this site, I'm assuming you're part of the fandom of anime/manga. Looking back, how did you originally begin getting interested in this stuff? Maybe a specific series if you remember?
For me, it was definitely the anime that aired on Kids WB. It was the original Pokemon series and Cardcaptor Sakura! Didn't have cable TV, so no Toonami/Adult Swim, and I missed out on Gundam and Dragon Ball Z.
