|| AA Weekly Poll #33 || THEY WON'T STAY DEAD! || - Black Hole - Jul 30, 2016

WHAT IS DEAD MAY NEVER DIE
The AA weekly poll is back!

This week's poll is all about resurrection. Does a character coming back to life in an anime enhance the experience? Or is it a cheap way to keep a dead horse kicking?

The question: Do you feel resurrecting a dead character in an anime is tasteful?:
  • When characters are born again, my enjoyment of the series quadruples!
  • I am excited to see past characters brought back to life.
  • If done in a realistic and tasteful way, I don't mind dead characters coming back to life.
  • I feel dead characters should remain dead to solidify the story.
  • I think all the characters should die.



There you have it guys, your 33rd AA weekly poll!

Poll specs: Feel free to leave a comment saying why you picked the choice you did. Feel free to debate/flame/rate and hate. Poll is public and single choice only. Poll will close in 7 days.

I think resurrecting characters is very tough to do correctly, especially as it can be seen as a cheap plot device.

No way was it 2013 since we had one of these last. It's not been that long since we've had a poll surely?

We've been slacking.

If done in a realistic and tasteful way, I don't mind dead characters coming back to life.

Honestly I don't mind dead characters going back to life if it's done realistically and in a way that fits the Anime. However, I would much rather have these characters "cheat death" in a certain way, than having them die like that (muh feels).

Do you have a compilation of all the last polls? I have a few question ideas that I would like to suggest if they weren't used already!

I don't really see why anyone would mind resurrecting a character if it fits the storyline and doesn't ruin the flow, so the middle option it is!

Just made a nice little list here:Spoiler (Click to View)

Chose the middle one just because it could work if done in a way that fits the story GG

* - DerMensch24 - Jul 30, 2016

Would prefer if characters are brought back in a realistic sense rather than some crazy Deus ex Machima event. An example is actually a recent review I saw of SAO Spoiler (Click to View).

But if its central to the story and done right, I usually don't mind.

Thanks for the list Black Hole, I'll be using it for something!

* - Getsuga - Jul 30, 2016

Death doesnt really mean much in universes like dbz so it makes it the fights less entertaining

* - DoubleRainbow - Jul 30, 2016

I feel that if the resurrection fits into the overall story, and is not a forced thing for fan service that it is a good thing. Series like Hellsing, DBZ, etc do this well because there are things in the story to allow for resurrection to happen.

This is hard for me to decide. If we're talking about dying in more of a mental way, and being "resurrected" with some new personality, I enjoy the fuck out of that. But if we're talking like, DBZ level resurrection, bad.

Where would that new personality come from? The experience of having being killed?
