At some point a series uses a native expression that people won’t understand if translated literally. How should the scanlator/translator handle the expression?

-Translate it literally and leave a translation note
-Replace it with an equivalent in the target language

Quote from Transdude1996

Do you prefer original works or adaptations?
-Original works
-Works based on pre-existing fiction
-Works based on real events

Quote from MaxieMan

This type of question has been posed a few times before but hopefully this is a good spin on it:

What would you consider to be "too many chapters" for a series you'd otherwise be interested in reading?
-I only read short manga (1-24 chapters)
-50 Chapters
-100 Chapters
-300 Chapters
-500 Chapters
-1000 Chapters
-There is no such thing as "too many"
-I just read until I'm bored

If you're growing bored of a series, and/or not enjoying it anymore, what do you do?

• Push on through all the way to the end
• Take a break and return to it later
• Drop the series altogether
• Skip to the end, skim the conclusion, and then make a decision

When a group continues a series that was previously worked on by someone else, how should they handle the spelling consistencies of names/fictitious proper nouns in a series?

*Always spell it the same way as the previous group, even if it is incorrect
*Have them spell it their own way and leave a note indicating the change
*Have them spell it their own way and let the readers figure out who/what they are referring to
*No preference

Quote from ForeignerChan

This is something I'm curious about. I'm fond of realistic stories, but I know a lot of people like reading fantasy novels or comics to temporarily escape reality and find themselves in an epic atmosphere.

You usually prefer:

• stories that are as realistic as possible, without any supernatural elements.
• stories that are set in a completely different dimension and include fantastic elements.
• stories that have a realistic setting but also include some supernatural elements (e.g. a normal girl who lives in our world suddently acquires the ability to time travel).

Heyy, this is something I think about a lot 😀 personally I feel very sad at many animes ignoring the great omakes...
Wording could be changed, or if you have more ideas I couldn't think of feel free to add them.

What things (that don't affect the plot) bothers you much in anime adaptations of manga:

-Character voice not matching what you imagined
-Changing some characters design (hair color or style, oppai got bigger, etc...)
-Character art isn't as good as manga
-Skipping/changing some scenes that you liked
-Adding extra "fan-service"
-Slow/dead animation without much moving
-Relating it to this era if it's an old manga (adding smartphones, LCD TVs, referencing new events, etc...)
-Background art isn't what I expected
-Lack of good OST
-Using different VA from drama cd to anime
-Ignoring the Omakes

Thought maybe we could start doing some poles based on various categories, especially the binary ones where it can be one or the other but not both. Here is one off the top of my head:
