Unfortunately, I did not think to include an option for threesome. That would be interesting though...
To those who celebrate it, Happy Thanksgiving!
This week's poll is from Higanbana. Assume that you and your best friend like the same person. How would you act in this love triangle? And of course there aren't options like "I don't have a best friend" or "I would never love anyone" or something like that. Just go along with it, please. Humor me.

Not quite the right season, but hey, we all can't wait for it to happen, right? This week's fun poll is from our member nowyat.

14 vote difference... Elections don't usually come down to that close

So anime wins. To be expected. Kinda sad that the runner-up is the ones who don't like adaptations at all
This week's poll comes from StaticHD. Onto the subject of adaptations! For a series that you like, how would you best like it to be adapted to another form of media (if at all)?

One of our least popular recent polls (maybe THE least popular). I guess many of you just don't blog. Xanga anyone? Although I think Tumblr is the current fad.
So how's the blogosphere coming along? This week's poll is from icassop.

Think it's kiddish, don't you? It'd be interesting to see how many of you would introduce your (future) children to anime/manga. For another time, I guess
This week's poll comes from the mind of mu2020. Let's talk about your parents, shall we? Since they're of the older crowd, I do doubt they've tried, but we shall see!

I've always found the anime eyes fascinating since most Asians have small eyes (including me)
This week's poll comes from StaticHD. Basically, do you just assume characters are Asian in manga, manhua, and manhwa? Fair enough assumption in my opinion...

Most of us don't mind the occasional side branch, but get on with the main plot!
This week's poll comes from our member jacob66. To what degree do you like side stories or "filler" arcs in terms of their duration? Perhaps a little wordy...

Spoilers won't phase most of you, eh? I guess if you're already invested in the series, might as well finish it even though you already know you'll be unhappy with the ending.
