Admin Post: question time!

[effingunicorns]

Now that we've got a few people in here, I'd like to start things off by revisiting the canon we're here for! There are, obviously, a few ways we can do this, which is where you all come in. Please answer the following questions in the comments; once everyone's answered or a few days pass, I'll use your responses to come up with a schedule for regular discussion posts.

1. Which would you prefer to do as a group?
   A) Read the manga
   B) Watch the anime
   C) Both read the manga and watch the anime


2. If we focus on reading the manga, what pace would you prefer?
   A) 1 volume a month
   B) 1 volume every 2 weeks
   C) x chapters a week
   D) x chapters a month
   E) I trust your judgment, internet stranger!


3. If we focus on watching the anime, what pace would you prefer?
   A) 1 episode a week
   B) 2 episodes a week
   C) x episodes every 2 weeks
   D) x episodes a month
   E) I trust your judgment, internet stranger!


4. If we focus on both the manga and the anime, would your pace preferences change? To what?


5. If we watch the anime, which would you prefer?
   A) The subbed version
   B) The English dub
   C) Everyone picks their favorite/most convenient language and we make it work


6. If you're new to the series or didn't see/read all of it, would you like the discussions to remain spoiler-free for later parts?

Hopefully that covers everything, but if I missed something or you have any questions, of course feel free to ask. Thank you!

1. A (I guess) but more because I've never read the manga, or if I have I've forgotten.

2. C. I'd be attempting to read it in Japanese and in general I'm pretty busy with school so, 1 chapter a week sounds good to me...

3. B. Because watching is easier than reading, you can even watch while you eat for example.

4. I'd want the manga pacing to match the anime pacing (does the anime even follow the manga??) and maybe slow down the reading/watching speed a little.

5. A. The Japanese dub is the "original" after all (you all know America: the land of Censureship, Mistranslations and Unnecessary Dialogue Edits) but in my case I'll also be covering up the subs for Japanese practice so...

6. I'm not new but avoiding spoilers is probably best. You never know who'll find this comm's posts in 10 years' time.
