Do you watch Anime although you were spoiled? Or you distinguish from the kind of Spoiler? I think it´s not so annoying if you know in advance that a new Character appears in Episode 10 as if you know, that a Mainchar dies or knowning the complete end of the show?

you could spoil me of every character death and I would still watch the show if it interests me
EDIT-decided to add something from another post from yesterday

You should not care about spoilers as it is not a big deal
knowing something ahead of time does not take away the quality of the show itself
sure it can take away enjoyment value you can say but I can say that happens when you rewatch a series then but I don't think you would agree on that
a true good series or scene will hold up regardless if you get spoiled

I was spoiled of 3 deaths from Akame ga Kill (1 of them before even deciding to watch the show) and I still watched it.


So, no, spoilers doesn't affect my decission to watch something.

I still watch it because I can appreciate it but it's true there's no element of discovery in knowing stuff.

The journey is more important than the result.
Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together.

I hate spoilers, but if the show is interesting to me I will still watch it.

I'll feel less motivated to watch it but I still watch it eventually
I get spoiled way too easily for me to be picky about this stuff

If the show is good, spoilers don't matter that much.

It doesn't matter if I get spoiled, I'll still watch the anime in the same way. The maximum that a spoiler would do to me is how I would think while watching the anime. For example, if I get spoiled that the main character would die, I would wonder about what happens in the anime to lead to that character to die, wich is interesting.

I love spoilers because knowing the payoff of something I'm already invested in makes me more excited to reach that point.
That and I'm too curious to not know. They do not deter me one bit.

I'll most likely still watch it. I've seen spoilers for a lot of shows and I still ended up loving them.

In general if the series has a 90-100% predictable ending I don't mind. It is in those puzzling-mystery series or those where you don't have a single clue the direction it's going to take where it's troubling to be spoiled.

*For a certain anime*
-> Seeing Urobutcher in the writers list, I knew someone was going to die...
-> Still watched it anyway! B)



OT: Spoilers doesn't bother me much.. As long I can still enjoy an anime, I'll watch it..

It really doesn't matter.
Even if you know what's gonna happen, you don't really know how it's gonna happen and that's worth watching it.
And even if you know the storyline it's better to relive it with an original experience.

I knew the ending of Death Note. It made me watch the whole thing wondering how did it went that way and I still enjoyed the series.

Even if my friend spoiled the whole story of some anime, I will still watch it myself so I won't missed out if the show is great.

Yes. There's always the factor of how it's going to go down, plus if it's not a good scene after you've been spoiled, it wouldn't have been a good scene in the first place.
every single one of my forum posts is dumb and invalid except for 1, I don't claim them it was a different person it was all fake

I'm quite good at avoiding spoilers, though I was spoiled on what would happen at the end of the first episode in Gakkou Gurashi!

Still among the best moments in anime for me, so I would say that having something 'spoiled' is no reason to not watch it .

Spoilers are everywhere....if I did care about them or they made me not watch a certain anime, I wouldn't be watching anything. Especially older shows and stuff based on a manga.

I think that saying MC will die is a big spoiler no matter how you look at it.
I could never properly enjoy Death Note.
Happened to me more than once, not just with anime.

When people spoil character deaths or plot twists, it makes me unlikely to watch the show. I still watched Akame ga Kill even though I was heavily spoiled, and to this day idk why I decided to watch it, but I would've enjoyed it way more if I hadn't been spoiled.

Unless it's a major spoiler, I dont mind them. Spoilers are what pushes me to watch new shows. I get spoiled for a show I haven't seen yet, I wanna know more about it, I watch the show.

For me, just watch it. I don't remember spoilers anyways, I think it's a talent.

Been a long time since I've been here, I'll continue expressing myself freely and believe everyone should too.

If it's a show I'm determined to watch nonetheless, then I won't let a spoiler ruin my enjoyment of it. Though there are certain series I've watched that could've been ruined had the ending been spoiled. I don't think I would've been so blown away by Shinsekai Yori if I knew the ending beforehand, for example. Then again, I was spoiled about the ending of Assassination Classroom and my reaction to s2 episode 24 was likely the same as the reaction of those who weren't spoiled. So it depends on the series and the spoiler.

Of course. I accidentally tend to spoil a lot of things by looking at Fan Wikis and such. :/

spoilers just take the surprise out of it, a show is still interesting even if spoiled
