New Poll - Other Manga Activities
This week's poll by mattfabb would actually work best if you could select multiple choices, but that's not possible with our current website, so deal with it. Just choose the option that most applies.
You can submit poll ideas here (and try to keep them manga/anime-related)
http://www.mangaupdates.com/showtopic.php?tid=3903
Previous Poll Results:
Question: You find a reportedly good completed series with both a manga and anime adaptation. All other things being equal, which do you choose?
Choices:
Read manga first, watch anime later - votes: 4105 (43.1%)
Watch anime first, read manga later - votes: 2949 (31%)
Only watch the anime - votes: 701 (7.4%)
Only read the manga - votes: 1759 (18.5%)
There were 9514 total votes.
The poll ended: January 9th 2016
Some people didn't realize what "all other things being equal" means. Sigh...

Help run a manga-related website or online group and time to times do something similar to Drawing illustrations.

Oh we do Mr. chopsil but we just didn´t see the point in going over a convoluted hypothetical scenario if an easier to grasp real world one could have been simpler, more relevant and frankly more complex. The average consumer doesn´t care about the origin of a story and adaptation can also elevate. Even in the anime to manga direction as the last decade of Gundam remakes or Super Dimensional Fortress Macross: The First prove. Eh.
Write reviews, commentaries, or blog posts is the only one that applies and we can chose multiple ones by voting for the rest on the other days. (Unless the system works differently than i assume.)

Scan for multiple scanlating groups, proof for a couple and run a manga posting community on Livejournal. And in my spare time, I work for the local anime conrunning events during the year and at the con. All round geek!

It would be a little different result, if people could choose more than one answer in current poll.

Well as my teachers say when giving a multiple choice question where all the answers are TECHNICALLY correct, choose the one that is MOST accurate. psch whatever xD
and regarding last poll, I answered it correctly, still would choose manga first then anime (I get more story in 30 minutes). This is the main reason I dont' watch much anime anymore too. So much time....

I mainly cosplay although it's so expensive TT_TT After that is writing reviews and commentary as well as scanlating. I have run a manga/anime club while in high school.

6.2% write fanwank.
Ow, my sides.

Still scanlating.
I don't know how many years it's been since I started, but I don't see myself retiring anytime soon.

I wish there was a " search for more manga to add it on the wish list and not read it " choise

"Write reviews, commentaries, or blog posts" applies to me, but I chose "Help run a manga-related website or online group" since the former is a part (or rather a good chunk) of what I do in the latter.
» cmertb on January 9th, 2016, 8:10pm
Unfortunately, I still scanlate.
Well, I also fansub, but not as much.

Scanlate is most relevant to me, as it is what I am doing the most regularly (I love to clean). I have in the past (not currently) helped with the admin and moderation of a scanlation site.
I used to write reviews and commentaries on my own blog (now defunct).
I cosplay, but its not exclusive to manga and anime themes. I also cosplay a fair bit of Disney and other pop culture references.
I also colour manga illustrations from time to time when i get the chance.
So literally, half of those options

I didn't see that part at first but nowadays speed is the next most important thing, unless that was meant to be equal too...
This week's poll might have worked better if browsing/consuming is also applied to some of the options, like reading doujinshi, browsing pixiv, NicoNicoDouga, etc, and two which are surprisingly not on the list, music and videos.

My answer was "None of the above" as my choice wasn't there.
I spend way too much time planning, researching, and putting together panel presentations for local anime conventions. Most of my reading now is for the next panel.
I've done some tumblr blog posts, and post to a Facebook anime group, but not really enough to check that box.

Ah, didn't think of that! Been a while since I sat through a panel
» vigorousjammer on January 11th, 2016, 8:19pm
I do more scanlation than any of those other activities, tbh.
» Onitenshu on January 13th, 2016, 10:13pm
I had to choose none of the above. Like the majority of readers, I just enjoy reading them. Not scanning or fangasming over every little thing. It ruins it for me.
» 15C08 on January 14th, 2016, 8:46am
If there was an "other" option...
I would have picked coloring manga panels, if that counts. I also do very minor translations for 2 series for this one forum community though.

I've been scanlating for years and don't see myself stopping anytime soon. I enjoy the community aspect of it more than the process itself.
» deathcoy on January 18th, 2016, 8:45am
I used to do distro for an anime forum and in IRC which hosted anime & manga with a little bit of Visual Novel/H-game. Used to play MMOs with the admins and mods there too. Its kinda been dead for a long time now. Wish i could still keep in touch with them. Those were the times... haiz, gotta miss the younger days. Next thing i i know im hitting my 30s. Damn...
