| Currently I have a lot of shows I started watching but didn't feel like continuing so I need some motivation... or else I will start a new one and the list becomes even bigger... Code Geass did I stop bcause of Spoiler -.- is it still worth? S;G 0... does it get better? bcause it's not like the ''first' season that I loved' Overlord didn't catch me like I thought it would Your Lie in April... Spoiler too.... still worth? Gantz? I mean the animation hurts my eyes >.< Charlotte felt kinda boring until the 3rd ep... continue? |

| Code Geass' art style makes my eyes bleed, and from what I've heard the show is just "Ends Justify the Means is Bad Philosophy 101," so I don't need to attend that particular class. Steins;Gate 0 is bad. It does not get better. Just rewatch the original series. Overlord seems very much like a "what you see is what you get" kind of show. If you didn't like what you saw, well... Your Lie in April is pretty great. It completely lacks subtlety, but yes, it does get better. Gantz is a show I've heard everyone say pales compared to the manga, sooo... I don't even know what Charlotte is. |
This glorious signature image was created by @Mayumi! I am the Arbiter of Absolute Truth, and here is my wisdom: "Anime was always influenced by the West. This is not news. Shoujo is the superior genre primarily aimed at young people. Harem/isekai are lazy genres that refuse any meaningful innovation. There is no 'Golden Age.' There will always be top-shelf anime. You should be watching Carole & Tuesday." |

| you might very well drop all of them tbh. Gantz anime is garbage, Charlotte probably is boring since it's key, shigatsu is garbage of the worst kind, overlord doesn't get better, only worse, S;G 0 is definitely very different from the first season and stays that way and Code Geass is an entertaining show but being spoilered might take away from that. But if anything, Code Geass is probably your best bet. Or drop them all and start something better. |

| I don't think any of those are worth watching, but the least terrible one is Your Lie in April. |

| charlotte gets progressively better throughout the show - the last two episodes are to die for - and it's only a 12ep show so it won't take up too much of your time. your lie in april's boring (at least in my opinion) and definitely not worth continuing if you've gotten a spoiler about the ending. |

| Like everyone said here, you can save your time from Charlotte. It got rushed on one episode and certainly 12 episodes are never enough for Key to make their story. Like Angel Beats as well (wanna say that). They just don't build up anything. @Pullman I see you rated Shigatsu 1. What's the story? EDIT: Never mind if you don't wanna tell. I guess you won't anyway. |

| Of all these I would say Code Geass. I think it's least breaking getting spoiled about it, since even knowing the result, path toward it should be interesting enough. It depends on what exactly you got spoiled about. It's also getting a continuation soon. Shigatsu might be second best of these, but I think spoilers are a bit more breaking there, since it relies a lot on shock value imo. Overlord anime is rather underwhelming and S1 is the most well adapted part, so if you don't like it, I don't recommend continuing. Charlotte started out well, but for me it got pretty boring by the end and I think they messed the ending up. If you already find it boring at the beginning, I don't recommend to continue. S;G 0 is worse than original, though it has some well done parts at some points. If you really liked original S;G and you didn't play 0 visual novel, you might give it a try just for the sake of story completeness. Personally I liked last several episodes a lot. So there is a chance you might end up liking it more than in the beginning, but it's rather controversial. It might be worth continuing. |

| Your Lie in April is worth it if you like romance drama plus stunning visual and musical. Code Geass is worth it if you like badass character like Lulu who has a soft spot but can be absolutely ruthless when necessary. Bonus point he's kinda smart too. Bonus point if you want someone to hate you'll find that guy here. Overlord's best season is season 1 so you won't find anything better in the sequels if you didn't already like what you saw. Gantz.. this is a hard one, I personally didn't love it as much as some people but it's kinda.. aight? Don't think it got better or anything. Animation is still same old. Charlotte had potential but they blew it. Way too rushed. The idea is pretty good though if you just want to watch it for that. Should have been at least 50 episodes imo. |

It tells you nothing about the show as a whole in terms of content except the one little part that people consider a spoiler that depends on the spoiler. You're generalizing too much imo. Shows are more than just their content. Their structure, their timing, their atmosphere, their twists and reveals are also part of what make up the experience. If you're not surprised when you should be surprised, your experience is gonna lack something, and that's understandably something people want to avoid. And depending on the show, that can be the main point or appeal of the show: To surprise you, keep you in the dark and only reveal the truth at the end. You won't be able to really appreciate the twists and turns if for you they are non-existent and you always know where it will go. You won't fall for distractions or red herrings, won't join the characters of the show when they are wrongfully pursuing one path of investigation etc... I don't see how in mystery anime specifically, who rely on their main plot point being, well, a mystery, spoilers can have 'no impact'. I'm usually less interested in the conclusion and what exactly it is, and more in the path leading there, not knowing where exactly it'll go. If I do know, it takes out half the fun or more for that type of show. There's also major structural spoilers like spoiling how the movie 'Memento' is structured, which is supposed to be something the viewer finds out himself while he watches and it's one of the most enjoyable things about that movie, trying to find out what is going on by getting the clues while you watch it. If you can't participate in that because you already know, there is almost no point in watching that movie. I know, because I got spoilered about it and it did ruin the movie experience. So I think you're being very reductive with 'only content matters'. That is not how people experience a piece of media or literature. It is not irrelevant in which order and with what timing information is revealed, it is part of the experience and without it your experience is always gonna lack something. In some cases it's gonna be a major part of the intended experiences (see above examples) and in other cases it's not gonna be that extreme but still regretable. I got spoilered for the time skip in One Piece and while it didn't ruin the show for me, it took away a guaranteed moment of extreme hype - the moment I realize that there is a timeskip while watching the show and get all giddy and hyped because of it. By knowing months ahead about it, the impact was incredibly diluted and while I still enjoyed it, it lacked the impact it could have had. I know how hyped I can get about stuff like that in One Piece so it's really obvious to me if I compare my timeskip reaction to my reaction to other scenes I wasn't spoilered about. It was lacking. I'm not gonna get that moment I never got to experience back, ever. And there's only a limited amount of those hype moments even in a long show like One Piece. I also got spoilered about the two major deaths in Ashita no Joe, but only knew the timing for one of them so the other one still threw me off as if I hadn't been spoilered because I didn't expect it to happen when it happened. That is a good example of a spoilered that made basically no difference to my experience. The other one still impacted me, but I can't even begin to imagine how I would have reacted if it came as a surprise. The impact is always gonna be stronger if you don't expect something and mentally prepare for it for days or weeks or months. That's just basic psychology, you can't deny that. I mean I agree that in most cases it is silly to drop a show or refuse to watch it because of some spoilers. That's an overreaction most of the time. But it is just as silly to say spoilers make no difference. Of course they do. The only question is, do they make enough of a difference to make you want to miss out on a whole show that might still be great? To which I'd generally say no, with some exceptions maybe, which is why I still started and loved Ashita no Joe despite being heavily spoilered about it. But I'm always gonna be pissed and angry about spoilers because even if they aren't major, they will impact my experience of the show. They will mean I'm gonna miss something, a moment of hype or surprise or emotional impact that gets weakened or even neutralized by the spoiler. I'm never gonna know how it feels to experience that element without spoilers, and that's just a depressing thought to me. Doesn't matter whether I still loved the show, I'd have probably loved it even more without the spoiler and why should I be okay with that? |

Even in the unlikely case that this is completely true for you and you don't just lack the imagination to imagine how different an experience would be without spoilers, you can't talk for everybody. Not every person works the same way. I know spoilers can make a viewing experience worse for me, as do many others. That's just facts. |

| None of those anime are any good. I would avoid Code Geass. 50 (I think) episodes of mediocrity... it's one of those things that you watch just to say that you have. It's fine if you want to join in on the discussions, but other than that... steer clear. Steins;Gate 0... play the Visual Novel instead. It's actually quite good. It's darker than the first one, but the pacing is outstanding. It's a damn fine game. The Gantz manga is also good. Read that. |

| With a problem like this, the realistic solutions are: - watch a 12 episode series about cute girls or some low rated series no one cares about - rewatch something you actually like, or better yet, read it if possible - don't do anything, that can also be a refreshing choice if you allow it to be Important thing is that it's relatively stress free, nothing else truly matters. |

I mean it's true. Since the problem lies mostly in trauma and Kousei, I tried and read Kousei's profile (oh man my memory): beside his trauma, we have him regretted for his last words to his mother. Now what I can recall after reading that is that I'm getting the idea that his trauma from his mother Saki while also Kousei still loved and missed her are actually making the trauma mixed positive and negative, then we have him gradually being tone deaf. The bully comes in, but since it's a mixed trauma because of his love for his mother - being the support - the bully we have here actually worked when it actually shouldn't. The idea of love for someone is like magic imo. I mean, if he hated Saki I bet it's the worst case coming. At least, that's what I saw. And yes I don't have any supporting science stuff on this view of mine; it's all how I'm feeling. Just my human sense. Not that I disagree with you, since I would think the same if I saw it as you do. It's just I saw it differently than you did in the first (and last) try. Well, at least I've explained. |

| English isn't my first language so, sorry for the grammatical mistakes. If Overlord didn't grip you in the first season then it won't later either. Your lie in April is an anime that is really pedictable but, that doesn't make it bad. I think part of the reason it's good because you see the sad part coming but it still hits you hard in the moment. You actually feel sad rather than being shocked. So it doesn't really matter whether you're spoiled about it or not. Watch it for the interactions between characters and the development of the protagonist as he comes overcomes his fears. Code Geass has lot of big moments. So unless you're spoiled about everything you're good to go. You've probably been spoiled about the ending or one or two things here and there. Even still, it is very much worth the watch. I haven't completed Steins:Gate 0 yet so, can't say anything about it. But yeah, so far not really as good as the original. Haven't watched Gantz or Charlotte. If I had to pick one then I'd say go watch Code Geass first. |

| Going by how you gave several feelsy anime 8s, 9s and 10s, I'd say go with "Your Lie in April". Gantz I never heard of. Charlotte and Steins;Gate 0 I've heard of but neither of them are getting much positive attention. Code Geass I've heard mixed things about, if spoilers bother you then it may be wise to postpone this one until you've forgotten about them. Overlord I personally enjoyed quite much but that's a preference thing of mine. |

| Code Geass is worth watching IMO. Even when I knew the ending, it still was a really good anime. |

This show never changes to something different. If you didn't like it to this point just drop it...if you like it continue. Samuji said: S;G 0... does it get better? Nope. The pacing changes 2-3 episodes before the end...still dumb and pointless tho. It's a tragedy (not romance as advertised), continue if you like tearful stuff. Samuji said: Gantz? I mean the animation hurts my eyes >.< Animation is worst on the second part of the show. |

| Only Yout Lie in April and Code Geass are worth it. You should just keep watching Samurai Champloo or 3-gatsu no lion, if you don't want to watch those other series. Or watch Detroit Metal City. |
