Manga Poll
What is the best way to translate a dialect or accent of the original language that is not the norm (e.g., Kansai-ben)?
Different country's English accent (e.g., Irish or Australian)
Different American regional accent (e.g., Southern)
Have the character use different slang (e.g., 'pops' instead of 'dad')
Minor speech pattern differences (e.g., dropping the 'g' in '-ing' words)
No difference in translation but have a translation note
I don't care

This is an interesting question. I took it to mean what you would want to live in rather than what your life is now - otherwise, not much point in listing historical, fantasy, horror, sci-fi, supernatural... But it could be read either way, so it's also revealing how people interpret it. If it was the life I'm living now, I'd say 'comedy of errors'. laugh

I said 'fantasy' because I grew up reading Lord of the Rings, and the good parts of that world are so appealing. Thanks for the suggestion, kitty1826x!

Mystery.

But not about murders and the like. Just your everyday mundane mysteries like where did that sock I put in the washing machine last weekend go, or for how long did that piece of tomato has been in my refrigerator, or since when did that pack of instant ramen has been in my cupboard.

Realistically, it'd probably be along the lines of Drama and Psychological, since I suffer from a mental disorder and struggle to complete my education and get a job like other people.

If I could choose, I'd add Romance. Well, talk about unrealistic, but one can dream ^^

Hentai is silly up there but gender bender is not. LGBT and all.

LOL! Many people here have voted for tragedy! I certainly don't want that.

My choice would be supernatural.

That's because it's not about choice. It's about what your life IS. 'What genre would you classify your life as if it were made in the form of a manga?'

I don't think many people who voted tragedy want to live in a tragedy, they just consider their lives to be tragedies due to how it is/what's happened to them or people they care about.

Yeah, I actually liked the idea behind the poll but asking what genre your life is or what you'd like it to be at the same time doesn't make too much sense.

Feel free to vote as if what your life actually is like or what you would like your life to be like.


Would love some Fantasy/Supernatural in my life, pretty please bigrazz

I'm really amazed by the fact, that, there's this huge amount of votes on " Slices of Life ",...

Isn't most of us, who currently living our normal lives falls in this Genre...?
You're in Army or You're a Martial Artist / Wrestler ? Then you got Action(probably) and maybe Tragedy too sorry
You're a Playboy ? Then you got Harem...
You're a athlete ? You got sport...
you're Student ? School Life...Me
You're a daredevil ? Adventure...
A Ghostbuster or a Necromancer ? Horror...
got a messed up family ? Drama or Comedy or Action or Tragedy... dead

But, what ? LoL...this poll is about, what genre would your life be, if you get the ability to choose for yourself...
or is it just that, people want there life to be the same SPICE LESS boring life of " Slice of Life "...
Man, you're no fun...
hmm...hmm...hmmm...Odd
