Manga Poll: Your favorite thing to happen in a manga.

[Aberinkula]

This poll is to see what you like more in manga.

1. A cliffhanger that leaves you hanging.

2. Big fights were your favorite charecter dies.

3. Funny things in a dramatic event.

4. Twists that get you wondering.

Or even-

5. Story plots that leave characters cornered.

This poll is to tell me what people like more in manga. This is for when I do my manga Dark Blade. SoI know what to have happen. Also post why you like that sort of event.

I would have to take story twists! If the story changes, desisions the Main Character makes could very easilly become the wrong choice! This could change everything, making me think about why! That's why I chose story twists!

They're all good things to have in a story (not so much having the characters concerned, but the rest are). Still, you need to make sure that any plot twists or deaths are spread out across the story and don't happen too often because then the shock value is taken away from the event.

Characters dying in hand to hand combat isn't very interesting to me, but a beloved character dying in the middle of the rush of a large battle is.

I'd have to say plot twists. Something unexpected can make an interesting story even better.

I like a little of pretty much everything you have listed. Though there are exceptions to each one. For example the cliffhanger, I don?t mind it so long as it?s not the end of volume one and you?re left wondering until volume two. If I know that I?ll just avoid it altogether until both of them are out.

Big fights are nice, but not where your favorite character dies and magic fights in manga are boring. I like them much better when the special attacks are animated.

Comedy is a must as it keeps things from being too serious, yet one?s that are nothing but comedy and never take themselves serious get old real quick.

Characters being cornered is almost a basic for some types of manga as it?s the only way they grow as it?s often a grow or die situation. Though again, if that sort of thing is overdone it?s no fun either.

Also, one thing you didn?t really mention is a good villain. Especially the type that at one point they seem so real to you that you can?t wait for them to die. I really hate the wimpy villain who is just misunderstood.[/COLOR]

Thank you indifference. That is some great adivce! I sometimes can't wait for a villain to die myself. As for word I don't have it. But I'm going to see about installing something like it on my computer.
