      @aruseus493 I'd be happy to release some of them, sure.

      Like one answer I found really interesting is the "do you watch anime before reading the ln, or read the ln before wathcing the anime", and it's split pretty evenly at 53% read before watch, 43% watch before read, and like 4-5% only read.

        @sam-pinansky I found that question hard to answer for the following reasons:

        • I don't know about most light novels before they get animated
        • Light novels are more likely to be translated after an anime gets released
        • I start reading most light novels because I like the anime adaption and want to experience the "original" - even more so if the anime was not a full adaption

        All points are also valid for mangas of course. So I watch anime before reading the LN because I have no choice. I have read very very few mangas before they got an anime adaption, but I'd call those coincidences. ;-)

          I don't like treading the same territory twice, so LN only for me... At least for now. Most anime end unresolved or with anime original stuff these days, so I don't want to invest the time in an anime adaptation of LN or visual novel content (especially the latter, since that usually ruins the game experience).

          I wouldn't mind re-experiencing something in anime form down the line once I forget about the early LN content.

            @sam-pinansky interesting, I tend to read the manga 1st BUT I collect LN and WN as PDFs so I usually already have the LN/WN if fans are translating it. The anime/manga serves as motivation to read them since if the series is good I would want to know what happens next. Rarely I watch an anime that gets me into the LN/WN without me never hearing about the title. When I wasn't a huge fan of reading in my younger days it was usually anime that introduced me to a series.

              I really hope they allow google play payments as soon as possible.

                I first got into light novels because I found out the Baccano anime was actually based on a book series. These days I'm mostly a light novel-only fan but if I hear an anime is particularly good then I'll watch it after I'm caught up on the light novels. :slight_smile:

                  I got into LNs cause I discover the TWGOK manga had an additional LN spin-off which I hunted down cause I love TWGOK. :3

                    I'm not even sure when I first even encountered the term, but prior to Boogiepop and Haruhi etc. I think my first LNs were ones I picked up at random from comic stores, like Junk Force and the Onegai Twins one.

                        Late to the survey but it was a fun one and gave us a lot of options, told my buddy to get on and take it aswell since he is a premium member aswell. He just doesn't use the forums.

                          Let's say I forgot that I had copied the code at the end of the survey and some how lost it, is there anyway I could retrieve it or something? Or am I D-O-N-E?

                              Just take the survey again (you could leave it blank if you wanted). The code should either be in the text right before you hit submit or in the text right after you hit submit.

                                  @zchronos I'm pretty sure there was one the first time I did it.

                                    @imilyaz said in One Year Survey and Catchup Time for Launch Titles!:

                                    @hatguy12 tried, there was no code at all!

                                    I literally opened the survey just now, clicked "NEXT" through every page until I got to page 13, and see the code at the end.

                                    Whoever said nothing's impossible never tried slamming a revolving door.

                                        @myskaros I found it. My mistake was that I looked for the code AFTER I had clicked send. Thanks

                                          Would it be possible to read books we've purchased with credits through the JNC reader? I'm probably a weirdo, but I like the reader for the epubs and would prefer to use that. There's something about how it's set up in the browser than makes it easy to read through.

                                            I 2nd your proposal. I just binged watched Classroom of the Elite (found it on Hulu) typical 12th episode ending that leaves me wanting to read what happens next. I have to keep reminding myself that 12 episode animes are often extended commercials for LN/Manga that may or may not be available in my market.

                                            I read banned books
