Poll Results: Favorite Anime? (April Fools Day Poll)

Thanks for voting! Looks like Drake and Josh was the fan favorite on April 1. Shrek, Scooby Doo, and Undertale are in a three-way tie for second place. Interesting.

Our next poll should be suitable for spring, especially with Easter last weekend. Get ready to vote for: Best Bunny Girl!

We’ve got actual bunny girls, girls in iconic bunny costumes, and girls who are more bunny than girl. Head on over to the sidebar and vote for your favorite! If you feel like your favorite bunny girl isn’t in the poll, well we’re sorry. Sorry for your bad taste because there are no other bunny girls that are worth mentioning. (Kidding.)

You can find the full results of the previous poll after the break!
