This week's poll was suggested by Desert. I guess we really should've done a poll about J-pop first, but I feel like K-pop is more popular.
Previous Poll Results:
Question: Opinion on Osamu Tezuka

Quite a lot of people in the comments were disheartened by the number of people who didn't know about Osamu Tezuka. I'll admit that I didn't know him by name, but I did recognize many of his works. But I haven't actually read anything he's done...
From residentgrigo, again. This poll may be strange for many of you, but please look up TEZUKA Osamu. He's known as the god, father, or godfather of manga. He's essentially the Japanese version of Walt Disney. You ever hear about Astro Boy? This poll was inspired by our recent Stan Lee poll.

Not surprised at all. By most polls, Spider-Man is considered the most famous of the Marvel superheroes. On the DC side, it's Batman.
This week's poll was suggested by HikaruYami. I only listed the ones that Stan Lee is most famous for according to his Wikipedia article. Please note that Stan Lee did not create Captain America, which is why that's not an option in the poll.

At least we have more humans than vampires. This also makes me wonder if there's more introverted (probable) or extroverted visitors. Poll idea for next time!
Another old suggestion, this time from drunkguy back in 2009.
If you have a good next poll about Stan Lee, I'm taking suggestions

I'm just going through old suggestions that I previously skipped. This particular one was suggested by Lightmare over 8 years ago.

This week's poll (suggested by 8-3) is a follow-up to a poll from a couple of weeks ago. Is it ever okay to not worry about spoilers? And of so, at what point is it okay?

This week's poll was suggested by Crowned_Cumber. Do you plan on rereading your favorite series? Personally, I probably wouldn't. I practically never rewatch movies unless someone else chose the movie we'd watch. And all these activities I do by myself, I probably would never repeat them regardless of how much I like them. That applies to most books, single player video games, etc.
