Does the length of a summary ever cause you to avoid a story?
)Yes, 2-3 medium-sized paragraphs is the limit.
)Yes, if the summary tells its own story to set up the story.
)Yes, if too many details are given and I can't keep track of it.
)Occasionally, depends on how I feel.
)No

Here’s a topical one:
Do you think black Friday deals have gotten worse over the years?
Do you think black Friday deals have gotten worse over the years?
Jumping off jacob's suggestion:
What is your most anticipated wish list item for Black Friday?
- Tech & electronics
- Non-tech hobby-related (e.g. crafts, books, exercise equipment, toys)
- Clothes & accessories
- Body care & cosmetics products
- Household goods & plants/gardening
- Something else
- I don't need anything
- I need things but Black Friday's not the best time to buy them

How old were you when you started reading manga?
- Under 10
- 10-12
- 13-15
- 16-18
- 18-25
- 25-30
- 30-35
- 35-40
- 40-45
- Over 45
I presume that most people start reading manga when they're fairly young.

An older manga set in modern times is being newly adapted into anime. What time period should the anime be set in?
-Same as the manga's original setting
-Same as the anime's release year
I should try to explain this poll better. Can't think of any better way to do it than by examples.
Hoshi no Samidare
The manga was released between 2005 and 2010, while the anime was released in 2022.
In the manga, people have flip-phones and even chunky CRT televisions, which is pretty normal for 2005.
In the anime adaptation, they have smartphones and flat-screen televisions.
Magic Kaito
This manga originally started in 1987. There is an anime adaptation that aired between 2014 and 2015.
Once again, consumer technology was updated to reflect what was considered the latest at the time.
However, they also updated the character profiles to reflect the newer time period. Many of the characters are high school students, so instead of being born in the 1970s, they were now born in the 1990s.

There's an anime adaptation but it hasn't caught up to the manga yet. What are you most likely to do?
- Watch anime, switch to manga and start where the anime has ended
- Watch anime, switch to manga and read from the beginning
- Watch anime, wait for next season, ignore manga
- Started manga before anime release, switch to anime and stop reading
- Started manga before anime release, watch anime and read manga in parallel
- Read manga only, ignore anime
