I'm having some problems with anime spoilers lately so I've decided to make this thread to learn some good effective methods from MAL's nation which helps one to avoid anime spoilers.

Restrict your own access to the internet until your desired time to watch the anime.

Stay away from the plague that is social media.
It's an entirely different kind of flying, altogether!

One tip is to where ever you watch anime, Select a random anime in that site list and start watching it without reading anything. Stay away from MAL until completed.

I always tell myself I can read the comments and be fine. "I'll just stop reading if the comment looks like its a spoiler".

Then I fucking see something like "X Dies" in 2 words with like 100 up votes and im like FUK ME. then I can't watch the show after that.

GG avoid all threads/comments/anything

The best way to avoid spiolers is to stay away of the Internet. You can always find spoilers here in every way and form.

Download stuff and stay qway from online discussion sites then stay under a rock until you finsh the series. That way you'll avoid all forms of spoilers.

Avoid spoiler tags for series you've not yet seen. Do not google anything about the series while watching, the wiki will spoil you. Avoid youtube and facebook comments like the plague. Only visit the episode discussions on the MAL section.

Don't ever look for the anime in tumblr.. Like if you already liked the anime don't look for designs or anything else about it on tumblr.. Once you finish watching the anime then look for it anywhere and as much as you like!

If you want to avoid spoilers, you should not even google the anime you're watching. Try to stay clear of youtube too: while watching Monigatari series I had one huge spoiler by accident... When I was looking at clips I've already seen at youtube, on the video feed there was a video which picture and title alone spoiled me something huge. I was so pissed.

Avoid anime forums (including this one), avoid youtube comments, avoid googling the anime's name while it is airing and move out to an old abandoned mine in minnesota, communicating only by messages sent by carrier pigeons.

Simply avoid social media, don't look up anything about the anime you want to watch or watch any youtube clips relating to it, don't go on TVtropes.

For people like me, minor spoilers are sometimes prefered, like.. I tend to want to know how an anime ends, but not the full ending, like, do the characters get together or not.. And If they do for example, I'd want to know, how did they do that, even though I know they would get together.

But if you want tips to avoid anime spoilers... Don't visit forums, youtube and fb anime pages... and don't listen to friends with whom you speak about anime and just watch the anime you want..

About the spoilers and wanting to see even more.. Meh, a perfect example is: in facebook, there was a pic from Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun (it was written to be that anime) and the two MCs were kissing passionately.. And I wanted to see that anime badly cause of that, so I started watching it this night as well finishing Baka to Test.

It's hard to avoid spoiler, the best shot is not visit any site/thread that is related to what you're watching/plan to watch.

Look, AVOID AVOID AND AVOID:
--> Watching videos related to that anime
--> Don't search for wallpapers / images of the anime until you've finished it
--> Don't even type the anime on google since you can be spoilered with the google searches done before by other users (Just go to your usual webpage you watch anime and of course, never never read the comments. Or you can just download it if you want)
--> Avoid looking mal threads of that anime

It's easy. Be patient till you finish -- See ya!

Don't go on anime forums, especially MAL. Or just don't give a shit about spoilers, they are not that big a deal. If you are really concerned about being spoiled then don't do anything till you finish the show.

Anime is good, fucking deal with it.

It's from Mirai Nikki

Stay away from youtube videos and comments -> no youtube
No episode discussions / any other discussions on the internet about anime and you should be fine...

tips:
first) be aware if a serie can be spoilerable or not (by reading the serie description and figuring out the genre)

if it isn't spoilerable, you're safe from spoilers wherever you go
if instead you identify a serie as "spoilerable", and you want to avoid getting spoilered:
1) avoid the episode discussions on MAL
2) avoid any other forum or discussion place where it's known people can't avoid to spoiler
2.a) knowing which are those places comes with experience, from getting spoilered at least once, learn from your mistakes (the discussion places with little-to-no-spoilers are rare anyway)
3) just watch what you want, and if you really have comments write them somewhere for later sharing (i've never actually done this, 1 and 2 usually are enough)

Keep away from the internet, and keep watching the episodes.
If you stream your anime, open your broswer, go immendiately to your streaming website, and keep watching.
Don't read discussions, don't join clubs/teams related to what you're watching.

It's simple really.. just avoid ANYTHING and do not look for ANYTHING related to the show you're watching :3 Don't go browsing for cool gifs of pics just cause you're hyped and don't go watching Youtube AMVs and stay clear of general spoiler topics on MAL.

Best thing to do really is isolate yourself from any other kinds of media related to anime/manga but that's no fun >_>

Don't search, don't ask questions, don't watch videos. Treat your experience as completely separate from everything in your life. Only think about it WHILE you're actually watching it. Also, catch up in a timely matter so you can no longer be spoiled.

That's how I managed to watch Netflix's Daredevil without getting spoiled when it was trending a few weeks ago.

1. Quit MAL, delete your account and never come back here (avoid internet or any other form of forum sites.. it will destroy you)
2. Avoid your friends who also watch anime, they sometimes do it on purpose to make fun of you
3. Don't read news, reviews or any articles related to anime (sometimes the truth can disappoint you)

This!

Another thing is to avoid searching about it as much as you can since google results and even the prediction selection thing that pops up when your typing in search bar can fuck you up without even trying and STAY CLEAR OF WIKIS! Especially character wiki's

Only search if you have to.

-Avoid trailers also
-Be wary of the summary as you read coz sometimes they give out plot details despite the fact that the anime or whatever acts like you have no clue on wtf is going on.

Don't read/watch reviews unless they advertise "no spoilers".
Only watch anime with less than 45k completed members (no one to spoil you if barely anyone has seen it).
Watch slice of life, psychological, drama, shoujo/shounen ai, and other genres that you can't get spoiled on or wouldn't care if you were.

That's easy, just look at the synopsis only. Don't search for what people have to say about it.
I made the mistake of tumblr searching Death Note before watching it, and read a huge spoiler.
Still watched it tho, just to see how it all unfolded.

As many stated before, restrict the internet almost completely

This sites forums and discussions, Youtube commentary list, social websites like Animenetwork (I like the site but I will not be spoiled more :|), articles, wikies, anime chats and so etc.
