Ah FFS, I just googled the novel because I wanted to read it (if the anime is this good then the novel is supposed to be great, right?). I clicked wikipedia for the full name of the author and...

the entire plot is completely spoiled. I now know what happened, all because I accidentally glanced a few rows before the title. Thank you, wikipedia editors.

just so you know guys, stay away from the wiki.

(or don't, if spoiling and ruining the plot is your thing).

Thanks for the warning, I hate it when something like this happens, too.
I want Rambo in a mecha-suit with a laser-chainsaw gun that fires nuclear warheads, fighting the love-child of Predator, Alien, a group of Bangladeshi terrorists, and Satan. (Actually that would be a pretty sick show) - StopDropAndBowl

This is how I got spoiled the death of a certain character in a certain VN, but it was even more unfair for me. I only googled the name of the novel, and on the first page the wikipedia site was listed.

And you know how they always have a bit of text below the link? Yeah, that's where they fucking spoiled me something as crucial as a death of one of the main characters. Can you believe that?

Thanks for the warning man. I'm still waiting for this series to end before I start watching it, in order to contain my curiosity of reading discussion threads, which also tend to have people spoiling things. Wouldn't go this far normally, but 'Another' really seems like a series that would be completely pointless to watch if you know the outcome anyway. The mystery makes it entertaining.

Seems that MAL (and hilariously enough the another.wikia) decided to spoil it too. Come on guys, it's a mystery! The mystery is the whole point. *sigh*.

Scython, i actually like watching it whilst airing because the suspense is best when you wait a week to clear it up:D.

MAL where? The anime's description doesn't tell you nothing you won't actually see in the first episode. In fact, half of it is stuff you are told in the first five or so minutes.

That's why some said in the forums that they'd read the novel, but they actually just read the Wikipedia page of the novel.

Anyway, I own the Japanese novel myself, so I might translate it when I have time.

Aah, thank you. I don't think I would've went to Wikipedia about this anime, but it's nice for the warning anyway. Thanks! I hate when that happens.

Thanks for the warning. I think I'm just going to try not to look around too much. I didn't notice until now but their are spoilers lurking around every corner and I'd really like to enjoy this series to the fullest. I'm even now weary of reading what people write in episode discussions on the forums.

What warning, what spoiler....

I went to wikipedia and it only has episode list which doesn't explain further than anime is.

Plot section doesn't explain anything, and even if you find your self spoiled by it it's just to little, nothing special..

Only real threat is in characters section....

I'm glad i opened the wiki AftEr i finished the manga last month, just to check the cast list for the anime.

And yes, it is very troubling that they did wrote massive spoiler in characters section again.

The same thing happen to me with Persona 4 many years ago (the game version),
while still playing the game undubbed version > wanna know the cast > open the char list in wiki, wtf they write who the real suckers.

Needless to say, whoever put that spoiler in the character bios on MAL is a complete moron.
