I'm actually really surprised by these results, as I expected less people to try since most of you probably don't know Japanese fluently
This week's poll was suggested by zeazea. Do you try to learn the lyrics to the OP/ED of anime? Those are the opening/ending songs. One of my friends knows the lyrics to every song in Kimi no Na wa (great movie that you should watch if you haven't already). Another friend still knows the Hare Hare Yukai dance from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, and he performed it during another friend's wedding last year.

Previous Poll Results:
Question: New series you're trying. You dislike the story but like the characters. Continue reading?
Choices:
Yes, the characters are more important to me - votes: 700 (13.7%)
Stop reading, as this just ruins it for me - votes: 467 (9.1%)
Unlikely, as I can't fully enjoy the series - votes: 1194 (23.3%)
I'll keep trying in hopes that the story improves - votes: 2757 (53.9%)
There were 5118 total votes.
The poll ended: March 23rd 2018
In general, looks like the replies had about the same percentages between the character and plot polls
Another poll similar to a recent one, but residentgrigo suggested we put the emphasis on bad story now. Is good characters enough to keep you reading a series?

Alcohol was a more popular poll, but smoking is still 2nd most popular of all the polls in the last 5-ish months
Since we had an alcohol poll recently, Senrosj suggested that we talk about smoking too. I guess next week can be a poll about the substances you've smoked...

Looks like most of us will still give it a shot in the hopes of improvement. Now I wonder how many of you would drop the series once you realize the main character doesn't improve.
This week's poll was suggested by icassop. With all things being equal, would you continue reading a series even though you hate the main character? Any examples of that you can remember?
