Best Anime of 2010 Poll

Sorry, I meant to wrap up this poll a long time ago. Well the winners were: 1. Highschool of the Dead, 2. Angel Beats, 3. Panty and Stocking.

Poll 920 (February 27th – March 6th, 2011)
What was the best new anime of 2010? (final round)

Angel Beats: 2,252 (16.2%)
Bakuman: 1,452 (10.4%)
Highschool of the Dead: 5,725 (41.1%)
Panty and Stocking: 1,800 (12.9%)
The World Only God Knows: 1,521 (10.9%)
To Love Ru 2: 1,179 (8.5%)

Total Votes: 13,929

Personally I disagree pretty strongly with these results, but oh well, I suppose there's no denying HoTD's popularity. (Read more for previous round results.)

Old May - June Poll Results

Poll 666 (May 20th, 2009)
How mad have you ever gotten over a video game?

I destroyed my console / game-disc: 862 (7.8%)
I threw my controller: 3,291 (29.7%)
I punched my TV: 650 (5.9%)
I hit the person next to me: 1169 (10.6%)
I yelled at the TV / other players: 3802 (34.4%)
I never get mad: 1293 (11.7%)

Total Votes: 11,067

Quite a few yellers and controller-tossers out there! It seems that video-game-induced-rage is pretty common (feel free to comment posting your stories!). My brother did rip Soul Calibur IV out of the disc tray and crumple the disc after losing a close online match once (only to later rebuy the game a week later). My rage is fortunately limited only to yelling and controller-tossing, though I did once put a crappy game disc in the microwave for the fun of it... (note: NOT a good idea to put reflective materials in a microwave—use a toaster instead next time).

Poll 679 (June 16th -17th, 2009)
How much trash do you talk online?

I always pwn them newbs, and they know it!: 1,540 (17.4%)
Some, but they deserve it: 3,197 (36.2%)
Just a little: 2,019 (22.8%)
Never, I’m always nice: 1489 (16.8%)
I don’t play online: 592 (6.7%)

Total Votes: 8,837

So about 54% of our visitors are regular-trash-talkers.

Poll Results from April 2009

Poll 652 (April 21st – 23rd, 2009)
Who’s the hottest woman in To Love Ru?

Lala: 2553 (22.6%)
Haruna: 867 (7.7%)
Mikado-sensei: 912 (8.1%)
Mikan: 645 (5.7%)
Yami: 753 (6.7%)
Yui: 717 (6.3%)
I don’t watch To Love Ru: 4,865 (43%)

Total Votes: 11,312

Well back in July, the results were largely the same, except that now 2% more of our visitors are familiar with To Love Ru, which is kind of sad. Mikan is the least popular, with Lala in first place by far (typical—main characters always win!), and Mikado-sensei surprisingly beating Haruna--I love them both so I'm not complaining!

Poll 642 (March 26th – 29th, 2009)
Which Final Fantasy game is your favorite?

7: 4,324 (34.4%)
8: 867 (6.9%)
10 and 10-2: 1,910 (15.2%)
11: 145 (1.2%)
12: 713 (5.7%)
Other: 1324 (10.5%)
I never played any of them: 3,275 (26.1%)

Total Votes: 12,558

Wow, Final Fantasy 7 really dominated! That game just won't die. FF10 came in at a strong second as well. Meanwhile FF11 did horribly (screw that stupid game and almost every other MMORPG--they're addictive time-voids which devour your life and leave you empty). I'm surprised by how few votes the other games got though.

February - March 2009 Poll Results

Poll 624 (February 13th – 14th, 2009)
Should Marijuana be legalized?

Yes: 2,611 (32%)
Only for medical use: 1,856 (22.7%)
I’m not sure: 496 (6.1%)
No: 1,652 (20.2%)
I don’t care: 1,551 (19%)

Total Votes: 8,166

Well of those that care, 67.5% want to see it legalized to some extent. Meanwhile look at how few people are unsure—well whether they’re for it or against it, people have made up their minds. Personally, I think it should be legalized, though restricted somewhat. Of course if I were a politician, that statement would be political suicide.

Poll 630 (February 26th – 29th, 2009)
Pirates VS Ninjas! Who would win?

Luffy: 2,575 (16.1%)
Zoro: 1,378 (8.6%)
Sanji: 273 (1.3%)
Naruto: 4,483 (28%)
Sasuke: 1,709 (10.7%)
Kakashi: 3,693 (23%)
It’s a draw!: 1922 (12%)

Total Votes: 16,033

And the Ninjas win, hands down! Finally, we can put that old debate to rest!

Poll 629 (February 23rd – 25th, 2009)
Do you have a girlfriend / boyfriend?

Yes, several!: 1,070 (7.4%)
Yes: 3,134 (21.5%)
I did recently: 1,736 (11.9%)
I did 6+ months ago: 2,428 (16.7%)
No, never: 5,128 (35.3%)
I don’t want one!: 1050 (7.2%)

Total Votes: 14,546

Only about a fourth of my visitors currently have a boyfriend / girlfriend, while 42% of my visitors have (presumably) never had a girlfriend / boyfriend before. Don't worry--we're here for you. We love you guys. It's a strong love--not the sort of love a man and a woman feel for each other, or even the sort of love close friends feel. It's the sort of love that involves ethernet cords, computer monitors, 2-dimensional women, advertisements, inane ramblings like this one, japanese text you can't read, and tentacles. Yes, it's truly a complex relationship you and I share. (Yes, I'm talking to you.)

January 2009 Poll Results

Poll 615 (January 27th – 28th, 2009)
Do you watch Cartoon Network now more or less than you used to?

More: 477 (4.8%)
About the same: 1145 (14%)
Less: 2825 (34.6%)
I don’t watch it at all anymore: 2650 (32.5%)
I never did watch it: 1065 (13%)

Total Votes: 8,162

Of those who have at least watched Cartoon Network, 77% of them decreased the amount of Cartoon Network they view, and about half of those people have stopped watching altogether (including myself of course--I remember I first got into anime on Cartoon Network watching DBZ and Sailor Moon). Good job Cartoon Network—"let’s cancel Toonami and stop airing anime altogether, that way no one has any reason to watch our retarded channel anymore! Code Geass? Pfft, who would want to watch that when they could be watching Camp Lazlo? Sure, we’ll air Code Geass… at 5 AM! HAHAHA!"

Bleach and Naruto are the sole survivors of the “great anime-purge of 2007 – 2008”, and they’ll both be airing filler for the conceivable future. Ahh, I remember the good old days, back when Cartoon Network aggressively acquired and aired tons of anime series… now who’s going to air anime in the US? Sci-Fi channel? Independent Film Channel? I guess it's all up to YouTube now.

December 2008 Poll Results

Poll 602 (December 27th – 28th, 2008)
Battle Royal! Who would survive?

Allen Walker: 633 (4.1%)
Goku: 5723 (36.7%)
Ichigo: 2060 (13.2%)
Lelouch: 1324 (8.5%)
Luffy: 1284 (8.2%)
Naruto: 2570 (16.5%)
Yagami Light: 1987 (12.8%)

Total Votes: 15,581

Pfft, Goku? Come on people, please. Did you forget that Light would kill everyone except for Lelouch (assuming he's disguised as Zero), and Ichigo (Death Note's can't kill Shinigami) in the first 45 seconds?

Poll 612 (January 19th – 21st, 2009)
What was your favorite new anime of 2008? (Other than Code Geass)

Chaos; Head: 362 (5.3%)
Gundam 00 Second Season: 1143 (16.7%)
Macross Frontier: 313 (4.6%)
Sekirei: 686 (10%)
Tower of Druaga: 306 (4.5%)
To Love Ru: 1392 (20.3%)
Other: 2651 (38.7%)

Total Votes: 6,853

Well it looks like To Love Ru, Gundam 00 2, and Sekirei were the most popular, though a lot of people had other shows in mind (I’m not sure which). (Note that this poll is really about popularity rather than how good a show is, since people aren’t going to vote for a series they haven’t watched, regardless of how good it is.)

Poll Results

Poll 577 (November 3rd – 4th, 2008)
Who would you vote for in the 2008 USA Elections?

Obama: 3799 (37.9%)
McCain: 678 (6.8%)
Grandma (aka Hillary Clinton): 120 (1.2%)
Stephen Colbert: 1304 (13%)
Raikoh: 167 (1.7%)
Light Yagami: 2757 (27.5%)
Myself: 1205 (12%)

Total Votes: 10,030

Obama has the clear lead, though Light gave him a good run for his money! Actually, I’d probably vote for Light too--I love that guy… Meanwhile, Raikoh: 1.7%.... what, no one wanted to vote for me, the world’s first nameless / faceless pseudonym president?! That way Light can’t kill me with his Death Note after I beat him in the elections! Well at least I beat Hillary… time to start campaigning for 2012!


Poll 579 (November 6th – 7th, 2008)
How did George W. Bush do as a president?

He was great: 545 (5.8%)
He was ok: 1185 (12.5%)
He sucked: 2317 (24.5%)
Worst President Ever!: 3724 (39.3%)
I don’t care: 1179 (12.5%)
Who?: 519 (5.5%)

Total Votes: 9,469

Of those who know who he is and care, 78% of them thought he sucked (or worse)… ok, yeah, he really sucked.

More Old Poll Results

Poll 386 (January 1st, 2008)
When you read manga, how many pages do you usually read at once?

10: 275 (9.8%)
20: 465 (16.6%)
40: 442 (15.8%)
60: 227 (8.1%)
80: 124 (4.4%)
100+: 1268 (45.3%)

Total Votes: 2801

So 60-pages is enough for half of my visitors. But wow, almost half of my visitors sit down and read more than 100 pages at a time? That’s like watching 2.5+ episodes of anime in one sitting! Well, I suppose I’ve read that much a couple times too…

Poll 389 (January 5th, 2008)
Naruto VS Ichigo, who would win?

Rasengan!: 1077 (22.2%)
Naruto, though it’d be close: 590 (12.1%)
It’d be a draw: 504 (10.4%)
Ichigo, though it’d be close: 400 (8.2%)
Bankai!: 1855 (38.2%)
I don’t know: 432 (8.9%)

Total Votes: 4,858

Ok, so it’s 34% VS 46%. Personally, I think Naruto would win, since he has a lot more moves (rasengan and kagebunshin would probably be enough, though Gamabunta or Kyuubi would definitely finish Ichigo if it went that far)--so what if Ichigo can fly, teleport, and shoot energy-beams out of his sword?

Old December Poll Results

Poll 373 (December 16th – 17th, 2007)
If you made your own doujin, what would it be like?

Consensual romance: 1249 (26.9%)
Lesbians: 816 (17.6%)
Many women, one guy: 1231 (26.5%)
Gangbang r*pe: 568 (12.2%)
Lesbian futa-r*pe: 460 (9.9%)
Tentacle / Monster r*pe: 316 (6.8%)

Total Votes: 4640
Personally, I'd definitely go with Lesbian futa-r*pe ^_~

Poll 375 (December 19th, 2007)
Will you still be looking at hentai 10 years from now?

Yes, definitely: 768 (19.9%)
Probably: 809 (21%)
Who knows…: 1533 (39.8%)
Probably not: 679 (17.6%)
Huh?: 65 (1.7%)

Total Votes: 3854
So only 41% of my visitors are fairly sure that they’ll still be viewing hentai 10 years from now--I was expecting a bit more than that. ;_;

Poll Results from December

Poll 353 (November 25th, 2007)
Favorite Bleach pairing?

Matsumoto X Hitsugaya: 280 (7.9%)
Hinamori X Hitsugaya: 109 (3.1%)
Yoruichi X Soifon: 374 (10.6%)
Rukia X Ichigo: 951 (27%)
Orihime X Ichigo: 811 (23%)
Orihime X Matsumoto: 600 (17%)
Other: 398 (11.3%)

Total Votes: 3523

It seems both Ichigo and Orihime are pretty popular. Meanwhile Hinamori's awfully unpopular, and I’m surprised Yoruichi x Soifon didn’t do better either…

Poll 363 (December 6th, 2007)
When do you usually first start watching an anime series?

When the manga comes out in Japan: 295 (10.6%)
When it airs in Japan: 946 (34.1%)
When it airs in the US: 894 (32.2%)
When it comes out on DVD: 53 (1.9%)
Even later—I’m always the last one to know!: 589 (21.2%)

Total Votes: 2777

About 45% of our visitors are fast on the pickup, a third only watch it when it comes out in the US, and about 21% watch it even later than that.

Old November 2007 Poll Results

Poll 337 (November 8th, 2007)
Best fight in Bleach so far?

Ichigo VS Renji: 188 (7.7%)
Ishida VS Mayuri: 67 (2.8%)
Ichigo VS Kenpachi: 603 (24.8%)
Renji VS Byakuya: 85 (3.5%)
Ichigo VS Byakuya: 1260 (51.9%)
Kenpachi VS Tosen: 82 (3.4%)
Ikkaku VS Edorad: 142 (5.9%)

Total Votes: 2427
Aww, everyone just voted for all of Ichigo’s fights… Ichigo VS Kenpachi honestly wasn’t that great of a fight (well, it had its moments, though neither Ichigo nor Kenpachi had any special abilities really, which is what Bleach relies on mostly to make its fights badass and cool), but it still got nearly a fourth of the vote. Ichigo VS Byakuya was a lot better because Byakuya had so many moves. There were a lot of great fights (Ishida VS Mayuri, Kenpachi VS Tosen) which didn’t get any votes at all.

Poll 332 (November 2nd – 3rd, 2007)
What’s your favorite female personality in anime / hentai?

Android: 137 (4.6%)
Sadistic: 195 (6.5%)
Stuck Up (Rich / Princess): 341 (11.4%)
Submissive: 333 (11.1%)
Shy: 1321 (44%)
Tomboy: 411 (13.7%)
Tsundere: 266 (8.9%)

Total Votes: 3004
Why did so many people vote for Shy? Tomboy was the next most popular, and Submissive and stuck-up got an honorable mention at third. Sadistic and Android seemed really unpopular… what the hell?! Your telling me no one likes Asuka and Rei's personalities? Maybe I should use examples of characters next time…

Old October Poll Results

(Sorry about the delay--I've been slow in posting these due to a perceived lack of interest in them...)

Poll 321 (October 21st – 22nd, 2007)
What’s your favorite female-hair color in anime / hentai?

Black / Brown: 775 (26.5%)
Blonde: 426 (14.6%)
White: 124 (4.2%)
Pink / Purple: 739 (25.2%)
Red / Orange: 454 (15.5%)
Blue: 311 (10.6%)
Green: 98 (3.3%)

Total Votes: 2927

Nmmaa~, according to the usual culture stereotype, I thought that Blondes would win out! It seems that the plain-hair-colors (black and brown) are the most popular (why?), slightly, with pink and purple coming in a close second, Red / Orange third, and blonde fourth. As expected, Green isn’t that well liked, nor is white—I think people are underestimating the sexiness of white hair!

Poll 325 (October 26th, 2007)
What’s your favorite race of real-life-woman?

Asian: 1179 (36.3%)
Black (African): 176 (5.4%)
White (North American / European): 1192 (36.7%)
Middle-Eastern: 228 (7%)
Mexican / South American: 50 (1.5%)
There are no hot women in real-life—anime women only!: 420 (12.9%)

Total Votes: 3245

So White women and Asian women dominate. Mexican and Black women appear to be very unpopular...

Poll 328 (October 29th, 2007)
What race are you?

Asian: 558 (19.3%)
Black: 203 (7%)
White: 1631 (56.5%)
Middle-Eastern: 58 (2%)
Mexican / South American: 224 (7.8%)
Other: 213 (7.4%)

Total Votes: 2887

White dominates unsurprisingly, with Asian a distant second. White / Asian / Anime women are the favorites of 86% of my visitors, but 76% of my visitors are White or Asian.

Old-Ass October Poll Results

Poll 307 (October 6th – 7th, 2007)
What’s the ideal age for a woman in hentai?

11 or less: 172 (4.8%)
12 – 14: 411 (11.5%)
15 – 17: 1576 (44.2%)
18 – 21: 1195 (33.5%)

Yes, all the time!: 372 (16.1%)
Yes, once in a while: 651 (28.2%)
Yes, rarely: 570 (24.7%)
No, never: 554 (24%)
Huh?: 162 (7%)

Total Votes: 2309

A little less than half have hentai dreams at least once in a while. You know I do ^_-

Poll Results way back from September

Poll 290 (September 19th, 2007)
When did you first start watching Bleach?

2001 – 2004, the original manga: 90 (7.6%)
2004, the Japanese anime: 140 (11.8%)
2005 – 2006: 298 (25.1%)
2006, on Cartoon Network: 273 (23%)
2007: 188 (15.9%)
Never: 197 (16.6%)

Total Votes: 1186

39% of my visitors started watching it after it came out on Cartoon Network. A surprising number of them still don’t watch it, supposedly. It seems that the same people who started watching Bleach before it aired on Cartoon Network are the same people who also watched Naruto before Cartoon Network—they both make up 44.3% – 44.5% of my visitors.


Poll 297 (September 26th, 2007)
Do you like it when they exaggerate women’s breast-size in doujins?

Yes, the bigger the better!: 363 (16%)
Yes, usually: 249 (11%)
Yes, though they go too far sometimes: 888 (39.3%)
No, keep them the size they are in the anime: 699 (30.9%)
No, the flatter the better!: 63 (2.8%)

Total Votes: 2262

Aside from those rare insane-breast-size pics, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a picture and thought “oh dam, why did they have to make her breasts so big?” 27% agree, and about 66% think bigger-breasts are better, though they can go too far sometimes. Only about a third want the breasts to be kept their regular size.
