Quote from jacob66

Opinion about manipulation techniques in manga (mind control/hypnosis, memory manipulation, puppetry/possession, drugs)

-Very disturbing
-Just another tool for the hero/villain
-Stupid and/or not realistic
-Love em
-Mwahaha just one word and s/he’ll betray them all
-Come on, fight it! Don’t let them control you!!!

I just finished reading a couple of new manga chapters, so a couple of ideas came to me.

A copyrighted name is mentioned in the manga dialogue, and it's been blanked out by the original author. What should the translator do?
-Leave it intact to maintain authenticity (eg. "Poy")
-Change it to the actual thing (ex. change "Poy" to "Pocky")
-Change it to a more generic version of the thing (eg. change it to "Chocolate Snacks")

Many magazine scans have extraneous pieces of text over the actual manga content. What should the translator do?
-Translate everything on the page. Every. Single. Thing.
-Leave it untranslated, they're usually not very important.

As an example of the above, I'm referring to things like "[Series] Volume 1 sold over 1 million copies! [Author] thanks you for your support!" at the beginning of a chapter, or "[Series] will go on break starting next week, and will continue on [Later Date]" at the end of a chapter.

Well is there a place where there is a list of past polls? Don't wanna suggest something thats been done before

No idea if you’ve run this one... and it’s one my group has been debating internally...

Many manga have a glutten of interobangs.

Example !? ?! ...!? In a bubble alone, not to mention to terminate a sentence.

My actual question here, is how many feel reading a line ...!? Changes when modded to end with just a ! Or ?
What about speech bubbles with only the interobangs... does it affect how you read it!?

!?

Yes, I run LetItGo-Scans.blogspot.ca. Where we don't just let things go.

I'm going to do a different question related to this, as using yours as I feel like yours isn't good for a site-wide poll

Why did you initially join MU?
-To look for new manga to read
-To participate in the forums (or specifically, post about a manga you're trying to find in "I'm Looking For" 😀 )
-To create my own manga lists
-To recruit for my scanlation group
(You can add more reasons here.)

How often do you post in the forums?
-I used to post a lot, but not anymore.
-Occasionally.
-Nearly every time I log in.
-Never. I only come here for updates.

How did you find out about MU?
-From a friend
-Through another site
-Through Baka-Updates when it was still alive
-It's been so long I don't even remember anymore.

It's also probably time to have another "When did you join MU?" to see if active users are mainly oldies or newbies.

You find an interesting and complete manga series, and discover it's recently been adapted to anime. What do you do?

• Read the manga first, then watch the anime
• Watch the anime first, then read the manga
• Only read the manga
• Only watch the anime
• Double task: read and watch simultaneously

Don't know if this one has been done before. Similar to the Supernatural Poll. Lots of Manga with Aliens in them.

Do you believe there is other intelligent life in the Universe and they have visited Earth?

-I believe they exist, but have never seen them.
-I believe they exist and have or know someone who's seen them.
-They exist, but they believe in the Prime Directive.
-I believe they exist, but they can't be bothered to visit us.
-I don't believe, but might change my opinion if I saw one.
-We are alone in the Universe.

Change as you please, or ignore, etc.

HIGH chance this has been done before, butttt
