What’s your screen resolution’s width ?

• 1280 or more but < 1680 (45%, 85 Votes)
• 1024 or more but < 1280 (33%, 61 Votes)
• 1680 or more (18%, 33 Votes)
• Below 1024 (4%, 8 Votes)

i will end this vote and the results are pretty clear. There are still a certain amt of ppl with 1024px width or more resolution but less than 1280. I will put up another vote which will involve the next design template for this blog. Do you want to see a wider blog width in Anime Banzai ?

The current width is 980px which consist of 3 columns (2 sidebars + 1 body), for those on 1024×768, you will see just a lil bit of gray background only. I will put up the poll options, pls vote and your choices have a high impact on my next blog template.

The current width I have in mind will be 1150px, those on widescreen monitors will have no issues with it. Anyway voice out your opinions ;) I am taking all of them in consideration.

Do you go beyond your favorite anime ?

• Buying figurines or merchandise related to that anime (39%, 57 Votes)
• Buying some magazines that contains writeups/posters on the anime (26%, 39 Votes)
• No. I dont go beyond the anime itself. (26%, 38 Votes)
• I will buy one or most of related media (OP/ED/OST) of the anime (16%, 24 Votes)
• (I GO BEYOND THE OPTIONS ABOVE! TOTAL OTAKU FANDOM!) (11%, 16 Votes)
• I will cosplay my favorite character in that anime ! (10%, 15 Votes)
• (I will buy everything related EXCEPT cosplaying) (9%, 13 Votes)
• I will buy the original R2 DVDs for collection !! (7%, 11 Votes)
• (ALL OF THE ABOVE) (3%, 4 Votes)

Heh…I am amused some people chose Total Otaku Fandom (lol), either they mean it or they are being funny ;P. Anyway, most people imo would go for the “1st level” support for their favorite anime which involves buying of magazines and those who can afford will be going for the figurines.

The next poll involves a survey which will most likely allow me to have a rough idea if i should increase Anime Banzai!’s width. Please select the most appropriate option for the your screen resolution’s width.

Do you dare to cross-dress in a cosplay ?

• Cosplay is not of my interest (32%, 46 Votes)
• Sure! I am willing to give it a try (22%, 32 Votes)
• No. I prefer characters of my gender (21%, 31 Votes)
• Never! Cross dress is disgusting! (10%, 14 Votes)
• Of course! It’s fun! I done that often (8%, 11 Votes)
• I would dare to if there arent a lot of people (8%, 11 Votes)

Other than those who are not interested, majority is willing to give a try or prefer their cosplaying characters of their own gender and sadly 14 votes on the thought that cross dress is disgusting.

Next poll is about going beyond the anime. An example is after watching your favorite anime, how much fandom will you contribute related to the anime (e.g. buying the posters ? buy all the figurines related to the anime ? cosplay the character ? ). This poll will be multi option and you can choose 3 that describes you best.

There is one special option which is (all of the above) and (even more than that). If you fall into this category, pls choose one option and submit. This is to make the poll as fair as possible.

Are moe characters a must for an anime to be in your favorite list?

* No! Moe is not an impt factor to me (57%, 82 Votes)
* Yes! Moe is the essence of anime! (38%, 55 Votes)
* What is moe ? (5%, 7 Votes)

The poll ended with 82 votes, moe is not an important factor for an anime to be on their favorite list. After all, there are different genres of animes. If every anime contains moe, it would be boring. There were 7 votes for “what is moe”. I guess the 7 votes are casual anime viewers.

The next poll will be about cross-dressing in a cosplay. Once in a while you will see a guy cross dresses as a female anime character or vice versa. (The last I seen was on Cosfest, where a few guys cross dresses as Rozen Maidens)
Now, if given a chance for you to cosp0lay (money is not the factor here), do you dare to cross-dress as a character of the opposite gender.

• An epic ending..it was perfect! (38%, 67 Votes)
• It was good..but could have been better… (15%, 27 Votes)

• Pretty average…. (1%, 2 Votes)

The previous poll has ended, heh…I am like kinda surpised that there are people who wanted more blood :P man..the ending is more bloody than the game itself. lol

Next poll’s up. Simple question targeted to the anime community here.
Are moe characters a must for an anime to be in your favorite list?

Out of the 3 girls in School Days, who deserves the most pity ?

1. Kotonoha Katsura (61%, 86 Votes)
2. Nobody. They dont deserve any (26%, 37 Votes)
3. Sekai Saionji (12%, 17 Votes)
4. Otome Kato (1%, 2 Votes)

This poll has ended. Kotonoha received an overwhelming surge of votes.

I am surprised there were people who voted for Otome. Anyway, I voted for Sekai though as she was the one that I felt the most pitiful.

I am putting up another poll. It’s about what you think about the ending. Choose the option which is the most appropriate to you.
