I am once again asking folks to vote in this week's AniMarch Madness polls from @beneaththetangles.

Make your voice heard on your favorite anime across all of our socials.

Also, vote against FMA:B. It won the tourney like 3 times already, I want to see it knocked out early by an unexpected challenger like Naruto Shippuden.

Please. Think of the children. Or something.

Here's the start of the thread: https://sakurajima.moe/@beneaththetangles/112082816033384007

What? Was that not enough #manga for you?

How about we go back to another of our #ReadersCorner when we called it our "Otaku Reader’s Corner."

Here was our "Great Pumpkin Edition" from 2020 with mini-reviews from @twwk @mdmrn & @otakureview

@twwk @To Always good to add more spooktacular anime to the list!!

And oh my - it has been a LONG time since I (@mdmrn) watched Hellsing. I watched original series in undergrad nearly 20 years ago... :anya_shocked:

A quick #QuestionOfTheDay - Do you prefer your #manga and #LightNovels in digital format or paper?

Sound off below!

beneaththetangles, 7 months ago

Personally, I (@mdmrn) go either way. When it comes to my weeklies, I need 'em right away - so let's do it digitally. I like that I can have my manga in my pocket with me to read at any tme.

But, when I'm chilling at home and unwinding, I like cracking open a physical edition of a book. And it's also easier to share with friends / family if they're interested in reading them.

Again, what about you? What's your preferred format for reading manga or light novels?

beneaththetangles, 7 months ago

@chikorita157 I get it. Shelf space limitations definitely make digital much more convenient. The quickness of receipt, the ease of reading. I get it.

But yea, downsides exist all around for any option you choose.

Glad digital seems to work for you, for the most part! :akko_thumbup:

beneaththetangles, 7 months ago

@coffeentacos An absolutely valid approach.

I know I (@mdmrn) am very similar in that regard in how I buy physical media.

@gnitro An obvious, but fabulous answer.
