Stall from watching it for a while to forget about it.

In my experience, spoilers haven't been too problematic. The plot that sets up and brings forth the spoiled event is far more essential and substantial.

Really angry at first, especially when it's anime I'm currently watching. Last one was from One Piece
It was horrible, pretty much the worst thing you can get spoiled about - death of your favourite character. It takes all of your desire to watch anime. Usually I'm just putting anime like this on later.

Depends on how big the spoiler is and if I'm currently watching the show, if it's big and I'm not watching the anime I just never watch it, otherwise I watch it.

I was checking on Youtube for a opening which I liked then scrolling down to the comments, some @$$hole had to ruin it by posting spoilers and I'm a bit pissed. I quite enjoy looking forward watching the anime.

Yahallo!

Me being the idiot that I am, I always read about the anime on its wiki pages and look at character bios and other stuff! Which 99% of the time completely ruins it, and I pretend that I forgot what I read but it never works -.-

Hey guys and girls ;)

I can easily handle spoilers. Even if I know something about the ending or a part of the story, I will still watch it. If I like an anime very much, I will not care about any kind of spoilering.

You know something before it happens, but you wanna know how it really happens and why. You wanna find out the background of the spoiling scene.

Greetings

If I accidentally read any spoilers, I'll try to erase it from my mind by not thinking of anything at all while watching it (rather crazy, I know, but it helps to certain extent). That's what I did to After Story, because I already knew the ending even before starting Clannad.

First of I don't read anything beforehand ever, that way you avoid possible spoilers, seeing one or 2 episodes is better than reading a review, and if an anime doesn't hold up with spoilers then it wouldn't hold up without them either and doesn't deserve to be seen.

Spoilers are irrelevant and people are whinny little bitches.

I usually try to avoid spoilers but it's kinda hard when everyone's seen the whole anime before me. I still watch even though I get spoiled but it takes out the element of surprise for me and rather then thinking "Maybe this could be why this is like that" or "I think he/she did it because this and that" I'm thinking "This is when that happens". *Sighs*

For me, it just doesn't really feel right to watch an anime you already know the ending of. Like Death Note, I stopped at around episode 27 because I wanted to hear Light's laugh.

I spoil myself all the time. Usually if I am really interested in an anime, I would look up the wiki article and read it. All the information I find actually makes me want to watch the anime even more, to see what happened. Usually, I am still shocked/surprised.

If it's spoiled I still watch the anime. I don't mind, it's just the ending.. it's a 50 episode anime.. well there's 49 episodes that have good content in it.

So let's say you find out the main character dies.. you say "So...?"
You watch the anime and you connect with the character then the character dies then you become "upset".

I watch anime from start to finish.. if I cared what happened at the end and only the end.. I'd just watch the last episode of each anime.

I accidentally spoiled myself with the ending to Panty and Stocking two (or however long ago it was) years ago, but that was back when I told myself I would never watch it anyway so no worries. Then, just recently, a friend recommended it to me, so I figured, why not? By that time, I had forgotten whatever spoiler I chanced upon those years ago. I didn't even remember spoiling myself of the ending! Unfortunately, I suddenly remembered when I was reading Stocking's trivia page on the Wiki. Needless to say, I was pissed with myself, but oh well. What are you going to do? I still watched it to the end, and it was still enjoyable.

This has happened to a couple other anime, though this is the only instance I can really recall right now since it happened to recently.

Not long ago, had something spoiled in Ergo Proxy, thank goodness the spoil happens mid-point. Wasn't shocking though, so the spoil took away from the 'shock value'.
Still one of my favorites.

So, I usually just continue it anyway if I'm spoiled.

I usually just keep watching. Most of the time its Youtube comments that spoil things for me. I'll look up the OST or something and there will be a top comment saying "RIP character name". It's my own fault for looking at the comments but I can't help myself sometimes lol.

I just watch it, but for me it gets extremely annoying. Knowing something is going to happen, is often extremely intrusive when I'm trying to watch something. "I know that motherfucker's gonna die, but when?" just keeps going through my head.

I had Steins gate, cowboy bebop, ano hana, code geass, death note, and angel beats spoiled for me. I spoiled myself a very tiny bit with cardcaptor sakura too.

angel beats ending was ruined for me and i had no further reason to continue watching it as i already know how it was going to end and who the guy was gonna end up with. Though you know whats the worse i was gonna watch Mahou shoujo madoka like that and everywhere even on reviews people kept on saying how theres a dramatic twist and how you'd never expect, it seems to be happy go getto at first but its not so when the twist came i was just like ._____. well i already knew something like that was gonna happen so i didnt get to enjoy it as much as i should have.

Argh. I hate it when it happens. u.u I usually try to avoid getting into situations where I'd read spoilers, like staying away from discussions on forums, reviews, etc..
But when it does, I think do either of two things: 1) I end up putting off watching it until I completely erase that memory from my mind.. 2) Go into denial mode and just pretend I never saw that spoiler and convince myself that whoever said whatever they said never said it at all.

Well I was reading up about Code Geass before I began watching it.
As I was reading I stumbled apon some interesting information.
I continued until I realized until I saw that

That pretty much just spoiled the whole series, and I'm still considering weather I should watch it.

I don't care. What's important is how they tell it. If an anime loses all attraction because you already know what's going to happen, then it's probably not a very good one to begin with. All of my favorite movies or shows I could watch over and over, and I swear I don't get amnesia between each watching.

Spoilers have the opposite effect on me, usually it just makes me wanna continue, especially if it's some thing good.

I don't see how spoilers can actually ruin some thing, People take spoilers way to seriously it's actually pretty annoying, because you can never have a discussion about story points with out some over sensitive retard bitching and moaning about spoilers.

I'm usually the one who looks for the spoilers lol...
As a child, I was told that society is a melting pot of talents; knowledge and experience combined to form important alloys that will contribute to mankind. When I got to highschool, however, I thought that it's more like a river in which the water represents our peers while we ourselves are the stones in the river. Constant erosion by mindless majority sheeping has made us lose our unique edge. After I hit the age of 18, I realized that I've been wrong all along. Society is no melting pot. Society is no river. Society is a person, a very skilled rapist, and he has fucked us all.

I usually avoid forums and youtube when I watch anime. Even if I do go to forums to check people's reactions and comments, I avoid reading too much.

But when I really got the spoilers, I usually avoid the anime for some time. If I'm in the middle of watching it, I just finish it off as soon as possible............. and have my revenge.

It doesn't even happen within the first few episodes either. WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT? WHY MAL?!

This is pretty much what I'd do. There's only so much that can be spoiled before you look away or attack the person who told you, so there usually plenty that wasn't spoiled and you can still watch it.

Before i watched Code Geass i saw the ending on youtube.I was trying to forget about it and think it might be "an illusion" or "incomplete ending" because i didn't watch the whole thing.
I watched 11 episodes out of 25 of Mirai Nikki and i just saw the biggest spoiler on the internet.I srsly want to make myself forget but what can i do,im going to watch it even tho i know the ending(which sucks).
