Kinda lazy, but it's efficient - votes: 982 (32.6%)
Unacceptable, because you're copying someone else's translation - votes: 842 (28%)
Perfectly acceptable, as long as it's accurate - votes: 1184 (39.4%)

One of our most even polls in a while!

In a few days is the infamous April Fools' Day (April 1st). At MU, we [color=red]WILL NOT[/color] tolerate any fake/joke releases being reported/announced to us (on any day, not just April Fools). If we, by accident, allow a fake release to get through, please report the mistake to us (either via a [sitelink=submit.html?act=add_change]Change Request[/sitelink] form, through the forum, post a comment in this news post, send me a private message, or you can email me at lambchopsil[at]mangaupdates[dot]com if you are not a registered member here).

As you have been warned against doing it, if we discover a person still attempting to post a joke release here, that person will be dealt with. Severe action will be taken upon that scanlation group.

Thank you for considering our request to remain as accurate as possible for our members.

This week's poll is kind of odd. It was suggested by our member 8-3. Apparently there exist some scanlations that share identical translations of the anime's fansub. 8-3 never mentioned which series it was though, as I want to see it for myself. Regardless, what are your thoughts about that?

For most people, you just need to meet a minimum threshold of animation quality

This week's poll was suggested by residentgrigo. Basically, how much do you care about the animation quality?

So does that mean most of the users of this site are in their 30's now?

This week's poll was suggested by hiei_luke. The names of each decade don't really mean anything. Just pay attention to the decade. And sorry if your favorite series wasn't listed. Had to pick and choose. Some cross over multiple decades, so I had to be a little liberal about it.

I guess that's why you watch harem series: you want to see the main character get with everyone

Another poll suggested by silenteye. This time it's about harem endings! Tropes abound.

If you're going to end something, solve/reveal all the mysteries. Blacklist, I'm looking at you.

Looks like most of you would at least give it a shot. Then there's those people who debated what counts as a "classic"...

This week's poll was suggested by Karonhioktha. So many movie reboots... Did you know there are anime reboots too? What do you think about them?

Some people (not me) have the mentality of kids as with pets: it's nice for your friends to have them so that you can enjoy the time spent with them without any of the responsibilities

For those of you wondering why the site looks different today, don't clean your glasses or throw out this month's contacts. Yes, amazing as it might seem, we had a site update today!

This one is a long time coming, and caps off the final changes that were started in 2018 for MangaUpdates, including the adoption of Docker, our UTF-8 conversion (seriously), switching our search to Elasticsearch, and finally this responsive web design. There are several things planned and in the works for 2019, so stay tuned.

Please let us know if you find any bugs with this new site template in the [sitelink=topics.php?fid=3837]Suggestions and Bugs[/sitelink] forum. I'm sure there's something we missed. Thank you for helping us test it over the last week!

Another poll I came up with myself since no one suggested a new one within the last week.
