This poll was suggested by our member Perim. The poll itself has simple choices, yet is a little hard to explain. Basically, does manga/anime affect real world decisions that you make? Perhaps you act a certain way now just because you read Naruto (think of all the little kids running around like ninjas...) Or perhaps you listen to classical music more because of Nodame Cantabile. Or any number of possible influences...

Scanlators, hopefully you see how the people voted. (I acknowledge that joint efforts do not always work out though)

A just ruler amongst tyrants

I voted no without thinking and now I realize I should've voted 'Yes'. Because anything I read influences my writing/characters. xDDD

Joint projects don't work all the time because if one person bail then they have to get another editor/translator or whatever and it slows the scanlation process down.
& sometimes the whole scan group just goes MIA =/
I hope the people voted for that option knows how hard it is to work between different groups.

Don't Be So Kind
