On average, do you tend to skip anime opening/ending themes?

I only skip openings
I only skips endings
I watch both
I skip both
I don't watch anime

I only tend to rate/comment on series that are either really good or really bad, unless I'm bored.
I'm stating this so that you know: I am not one of those people who always rates things ten or one, ignoring all numbers inbetween. Therefore, in that aspect, my ratings are trustworthy. ^^

◌็How much do you understand Japanese?

  • Why do you think I come to this website?
  • A little bit of this and that
  • Somewhat if there isn't too many Kanji
  • I can understand overall but need translation to be sure
  • I don't need this website anymore
  • Wha? Manga is from Japan?

Adding two more options to this suggestion ...

  • I watch it once then skip the openings/endings
  • I watch it until it get gets tiring.

  • Each individual chapters with its own stand-alone story.
  • Overall story divided by arcs.
  • Straight-forward linear story-line.
  • Non-linear story-line. (Pulp Fiction-esque)

  • Cute (...not really funny, but at least they think you're cute)
  • Fake (pretending to be funny)
  • Deadp ...

Quote from cowsrawesome

What sexist trope in manga bothers you the most?

  • the always patronizing "but you're a girl!"
  • objectification
  • falling in love with their rapist (without serious consideration of what stockholm syndrome actually entails)
  • harassment being ok because she's just "playing hard to get"
  • "All women..."
  • sexual assault and/or rape being portrayed as a joke
  • damsel in distress with no agency
  • girl solely exists to be the love interest of the main male lead
  • troop of overly jealous/vain/cruel fangirls who exist solely to bully others
  • madonna/whore dichotomy
  • what? sexism still exists?

If you were a manga translator and you realize you've mistranslated the kanji of a major character's name, how would you correct it?
-Re-do all the chapters with that name in it
-Add a correction notice on the next chapter and start using the correct kanji reading from there on
-Start using the proper name, but act as if nothing happened
-Try to hide my mistake and keep using my version of the name for as long as I can

If you were a manga translator and you've spelled the romaji of a character's name a certain way, but much later you find that the official artwork/merchandise spells it a different way, what would you do?
-Start using the official spelling
-Keep using my version of the spelling
-Use whichever version the fans are more comfortable with

Have you ever read manga in any language other than English & Japanese?
-Yes, I prefer to read manga in my native language which happens to be not English/Japanese
-Yes, I prefer to read manga in a non-native language which happens to be not English/Japanese
-Yes, I have read manga in a different language before, but I prefer to read it in English/Japanese
-No, I only read manga in English/Japanese, although I am capable of reading in another language
-No, I can only read manga in English/Japanese because I do not know any other language

Where do you prefer TL notes?
-Directly on the page's margins
-On a separate page after the last page
-I would prefer no TL notes at all

o) sequels/spin-offs
o) a huge fanbase (ppl to discuss with, etc)
o) another series by the same author
o) merchandise for sale

If you could magically change your primary language to Japanese right now would you do it?
-Are you for real? DEAL!!!
-Maybe. It depends (leave a comment explaining why)
-I already know Japanese but it wasn't my first language (you can choose another language)
-It sounds cool, but no thanks
-No way. Not even for $1,000,000
-My first language is Japanese and i'd want to know (Comment what language) instead.
-My first language is Japanese and i wouldn't want a different language
