Pollnalysis: A Ship of Rin and Haruka from Free! Iwatobi Swim Club, is this a thing (you support)?

Here's the results of the first poll on According to an Otaku...

Yeah! I'm boarding that ship!
  3 (75%)
 
No! Sink that ship!
  1 (25%)
 
Meh, I don't care either way.
  0 (0%)
No way! Shipping is a sin against God!
  0 (0%)
What is this "Shipping" anyway?
  0 (0%)

So, three out of the four votes I got were in favor while one was against and none of the other results got any votes. It was only after the poll opened that I realized that there was one potential response missing, "Meh, I don't even watch that show." Although I thought that "Meh, I don't care either way" would cover it.

TL;DR: The result is either mostly support for Foe Yay or I hardly get any readers, if not both.

Welcome Everybody...(descriptions for the sub-series of this blog)

...who'll actually read this. Hello, I'm Shimohi (at least that's what I call myself in most video games). As mentioned in the description I have some sub-series in this blog and It'll take up too much of the character limit to describe what these sub-series are all about so, hence the existence of this post. Now, without further ado, here we go...

  • Overthinking Things: This is the blogs alternate name, this is mostly my own attempts at providing tangential learning opportunities by typing about a connection between an anime/manga series, video game, or TV show (like some low, if any, rent version of the Blackwell Philosophy and Pop Culture Series of Non-Fiction books).
  • The End of (Title of TV Series or Game here): This is my reactions to the end of a series I've been watching and reflections on the series as a whole. Because I'm easy to entertain, but hard to impress, I don't think I can really call these type of posts 'reviews'. But if the Internet thinks it counts as a review, whatever. And, yes, the title of this sub-series is a Snowclone of the title of the move "The End of Evangelion".
  • (Title of TV Series or Game) the First Impressions: This, in contrast to "The End of..." is my reactions to the first episode of a TV show (anime, live-action, or western animation) or the events of a game from start 'till the first time you can save (or just after the forced tutorial, whichever comes last), still keep in mind what I said about my ability to review in the above description for "The End of".
  • Fan Fiction Spotlight: It is said that 90% of everything (including fan fiction) is crap. This sub-series is all about calling attention to the remaining 10% that makes the search worth it (at least in my opinion). Well...there is a type of fan fiction I read that will never, ever, ever, ever show up in this sub-series: Lemons. Just as it's said on  the That Guy With The Glasses show, What the F*** is Wrong With You?, "Nobody wants to see your d***", nobody wants to know what kind of amateur porn I read.
  • Random Rambling Rants: Exactly what it says on the tin, besides, I love alliteration! Post title format is "(beginning subject) to (ending subject)".
  • This Week in (Title of video game here): Some video games don't have a concrete ending...like most MMOs or games like the Animal Crossing ("Dobutsu no Mori" in Japanese) series. So this is...an actual record of the stuff that happens in that game.
  • Pollnalysis: After the poll on this very blog is done gathering votes, I look at the results and this sub-series of posts are the result of said analysis. 
  • Visual Novelist: Text-based Let's Play sub-series about various visual novels, and it's not just Romance games either.
  • PPS Officer: Short for "Pokemon Protective Services" (something I made up for a game of Pokemon Tabletop Adventures I'd like to run someday). A Let's Play sub-series all about the various games of the Pokemon Franchise.
  • MegaTen Demonologist: A Let's Play sub-series all about games from the Shin Megami Tensei series and it's spin-offs.
  • Final Fantasist: A Let's Play sub-series focusing on the single-player Final Fantasy games (this means I'm NOT including the MMORPGs in the series).
  • Role-Playing Gamer: A Let's Play sub-series that covers pretty much everything that doesn't fall under the influence of the other series.
I will add more here as more sub-series crop up.
