:iconengranatenroses:
This is for my coursework, I need a big response if possible. I'm not sure where else I could put this to get a response from a wide range of people.

Of course, I'm also open for discussion on the (kinda) topic and also if I made any mistakes with my Japanese spellings/pronunciations!




Please answer as many questions as you can WITHOUT looking up any answers.

These have to be as truthful as possible otherwise it can skew my results :cries:

If you don’t know the answer, specify that you don’t know, or have a guess, but don’t look it up!



1. How much anime do you watch in a week? (on average)



2. In general, do you watch anime:
a. in Japanese with English subtitles
b. in English with subtitles
c. in English without subtitles



3. Do you read fan-written fiction, based on an anime that you watch?



4. If YES, do you prefer to read:
a. Yaoi/shounen-ai (male/male)
b. Yuri/shoujo-ai (female/female)
c. Het (male/female)
d. No pairings



5. Can you speak Japanese? If so, how well?
