Sorry for the REALLY late poll this week...I woke up late, had to take a car trip to my grandma's house for lunch (40-ish min drive), then went to a pool birthday party for twins that I know. Busy busy busy~

Member rabookal has suggested this new poll for us! Basically, do you like your manga to mimic real life? Or do you prefer the outrageous and impossible events, including all the cliches like "punk boy falls in love with beautiful princess of the school and actually gets her" or the typical "average male surrounded by tons of girls"...Anyways, you get the point...

Discuss your views on our forum: http://www.mangaupdates.com/showtopic.php?tid=6184

Previous Poll Results:
Question: Select the choice that best represents your feelings
Choices:
Manga > Anime - votes: 4143 (40.7%)
Manga < Anime - votes: 304 (3%)
Manga = Anime - votes: 619 (6.1%)
Depends on the series - votes: 5107 (50.2%)
There were 10173 total votes.
The poll ended: June 21st 2008

As you can definitely see, many people think manga is better than anime (as to be expected as this IS a manga-orientated site). I'm interested to know what would happen if we repeated this poll on our anime side...
But the clear winner is the poll of the choice that it really depends on the series. Some things just show better using animation, whether that be story, fight scenes, kissing scenes, you name it. As for manga, you usually got the original story line without fillers, a lot of room for length and development, among other things.

Didn't Rabookal change her name? So was this question suggested before that?

Ahh, but it is more interesting than both ours together most likely. So why not enjoy reading about it ^^ 😉

With remarks like that though, you'll have lambchopsil (did you have to rename him?) clam up more. He seems to be giving out "..." posts lately... 😳

Mangaupdates is trumping Bakaupdates in search volume? Let the petty squabbling begin! 😉 🤣

well, I'm giving him the hope that says: "OMG, maybe he's not talking about me, lambchop, maybe he's talking about another member similar to my name" Of course, we know that's not how it happens in life.
