This week's poll by ma7a is about your favorite romance scenario in terms of how the couples and love relationships are organized. You prefer keeping it simple with just a single couple? Or you prefer getting more complicated such that you need a whole directed graph explaining who likes who?

Regular walking beat riding a dragon. How is that possible...
This week's poll from our member mizunosaki has a bunch of choices, although some of you might complain that your favorite isn't there. Too bad. The choices listed should cover almost everything. Some of them obviously aren't manga/anime related, but hey, I wanted to have a bit of fun.

So either a fantasy earth or modern-day Japan. Let's go create our own world! No wonder Minecraft is so popular.
This week's poll was suggested by our member compass96. You're in the process of creating a new series, so where are you gonna place your characters? The choices should cover most of the bases...hopefully...

Back in January of 2012, we had a poll where the issue was "Assuming money is not an issue, how would you prefer to consume your manga?" The majority of voters said they would prefer to read manga in its printed volume form. Now our user !xoble is asking what your actual reading tendencies are. So what's the reality for you? Mostly on your computer? Or you got plenty of actual paper?

This one has mostly an opposite conclusion than the previous week's manga-orientated poll. Figures, as we're a manga site. Besides, although it may take 22 minutes to watch an episode of anime, it does not usually take 22 minutes to read a chapter of manga.
In honor of last week's poll, let's switch it to anime now! For myself, I haven't watched an anime series in at least 3 years. Although I did just buy the Blu-ray for Fullmetal Alchemist: The Sacred Star of Milos, so I'll watch that sooner or later. And you can find the first 8 minutes of the first part of Ghost in the Shell: Arise as a preview, so I watched that. (I loved Stand Alone Complex but didn't like the original films as much). Anyways, vote in the poll!

Hmm, seems most people read lots or just started. I'm feeling old now... (I just watched the class below me graduate college, so of course I'm feeling old)
This week's poll about the past is from our member icassop. How has your manga reading changed in the last 5 years? Read a lot more? Read less? Started reading in the last 5 years? Maybe you don't read anymore...
As for me, I'm currently reading a lot less than I did 5 years ago. Heck, 5 years ago I was still scanlating as a proofreader. Those were the days...

Wow, webcomics beat manhua? But not manhwa. Then again, most of the scanlated webcomics are Korean, so I guess you could consider them manhwa.
This week's poll is from Hatez17. It's sort of an unfair question (in my mind), and the audience for MU will probably skew some of the results. And yes, some of the choices kind of overlap (especially the webcomic choice), but deal with it. We've had sort of similar post polls, but this is the first to explicitly pit the different types against each other.

Huh, black and white still reigns as king. I guess the rise of webcomics hasn't yet influenced the masses toward wanting more color.
