Scientists prove that reincarnation of the soul is real and guaranteed on death but memories are completely and totally wiped clean. How does this affect your current life?

-i would try to live longer since after death it won’t be “me”

-i would worry less about death since it’s no longer an unknown but otherwise stay the same

-i would live a more thrilling/riskier life since my soul will live on

-other

How do you prefer to watch anime translations?

⚪️ Dubbed audio
⚪️ Native audio + subtitles
⚪️ Mostly subs, sometimes dubs 'if they're good'
⚪️ Dubs in other languages + subtitles
⚪️ Something else...?

How do you feel about the more recent scanlator trend some manga groups have adopted of breaking chapters up into small chunks and releasing them as X.1, X.2 and so on?

  • I like the bite-sized chunks as I don't have the time to read full chapters
  • It's all good if it means faster releases
  • I'm fairly indifferent to them, it's all the same to me
  • Not a fan, it makes the story difficult to follow when it's broken up too much
  • Don't like them, it's just an excuse for the group to add their credits and ment pages multiple times
  • I Hate them as now I never know when I've really finished reading a chapter until the next one comes out
  • Other (specify in the comments)

This is actually a trend from Japanese publishers, not scanlation teams. Groups who avoid this are actually delaying their translation (or rather, delaying their ) in order to wait for the whole chapter to be released, despite the raw manga getting more regular updates as X.1, X.2...

As an alternative:

How should scanlators handle manga that get released in small chunks, X.1, X.2 and so on?

⚪️ Release the chapter in parts, as the publisher does
⚪️ Delay translating the chapter until each part is released
⚪️ Other

As an edit: I have recently come across the trend Amplify1 is talking about as well.
Splitting chapters that weren't originally split. Let's just say... it comes exactly from the groups you would expect. And they are certainly not the releases you would choose to read if you had any other choice.

Best/favorite meat for a sandwich:

-thick sliced turkey
-chicken
-ham
-roast beef
-pastrami

Not including bacon because it would skew the results

Summer Sausage is too big of an option to place in the other category. SPAM, corn beef, balogne and mortadella as well. You'll literally see the other category win if these aren't given their own options.

Sorry for posting again but I randomly thought of one as I was eating pancakes:
Qn: Do you prefer pancakes or waffles?

  • I prefer pancakes
  • I prefer waffles
  • I don't like either
  • I like both equally
