Have you dropped an anime because you already knew the plot and revelations thanks to intentionally/unintentionally reading the spoiler? I am thinking of dropping Death Note because L and Light died How about you? Is reading spoilers detriment in your anime viewing? Or you can still watch it even you know how it ends? |

Nope. continued on with Clannad even though I was spoiled in the early episodes of AS. People need to stop making youtube videos called "Nagisa's Death! So Sad!" and youtube comments should never be read. Probably contributed to my great dislike of the series. |

Well kinda in an indirect way. I dropped HxH (2011) and picked up the manga. I thought since I knew major spoilers, might as well read the manga and not suffer through the slow pace. |

No anime I don't really mind in spoilers considering I used to read certain mangas of animes to find out what happens usually spoiling it for myself. I have had movies spoiled for me though, by pricks I call friends who watched it before me which was even worse tbh and I still ended up watching them. |

Once I start watching a show I know I like I do my best not to search anything on the internet related to it because of spoilers. Was searching up some Clannad stuff the first time I watched it and got spoiled of a big part of the After Story. Still loved it nonetheless, but still, because of that I don't search up shows that I'm watching & enjoying unless it is currently airing. Never dropped a show because of spoilers though. |

Forgetfulness said: No, but I have put off Clannad because some dick didn't use a spoiler button in some Anime Discussion thread. That's one of the reasons I haven't started it yet (among a few others) But most of the time, I can forget spoilers pretty easily. It's especially easy if it's something like "-insert some random Japanese name- dies in -insert another random Japanese title-" because it's not that memorable unless it's a common name. Yay. I still cannot watch Clannad because someone told me that one of the main character died. Mod Edit: Spoiler added. |

I dropped Naruto at one point because I was spoiled out of a filler episode if that counts. |

Spoilers sure ruin alot of excitement, fun and tension, but i wont drop something because of them.I might miss on something great after all. Nevertheless, i hate immature people who spoil things for fun, and they think that they are ''cool' because they are ''trolling''.Screw them.Also, people on youtube putting spoilers in video titles and thumbnails...FFS. |

Some end spoilers can actually get me more interested. It's like watching a mystery story where the first scene is the ending (though false ending in most cases) and the following acts are the events that lead up to it. |

Although I'm an anti-spoiler puritan, I have yet to flat out ditch a series as a result of them. Although if I were to, I would drop Naruto since the entire story has been spoiled in bits and pieces already. Gotta love the Narutards.

No. When I was watching After Story, I got spoiled so bad but I still finished it. I don't think I could ever drop an anime because I was spoiled, really. |

No, if I'm already watching it than I'll stay for the whole ride. However, if someone spoils an anime that I've been planning to watch, chances are I might watch a few episodes to how the events transpire and skim the parts where I got spoiled. |

i didnt drop but was furious instead Naruto- i was a anime only viewer until i ran into spoilers such as -Sasuke joins the war on Naruto's side -Minato was ressurected!!(I didnt know the other 3 Kages were ressurected which was a good thing) -Obito is 10 tails jinchuuriki |

No, if it is well executed, I may see it coming, but it should still be a satisfying experience if it's a good anime. Hell, I only saw the sixth sense in the past couple of years and I was still affected by the ending because I was engrossed in the movie. |
Mar 3, 2014 11:05 PM

Nope. I already knew of the most major single death in Clannad, Gurren Lagann, Code Geass and probably several others but it didn't really matter to me. It may have lessened the emotional merit of the death scenes but it didn't derail me from finishing the show since the experience of watching is still great even if you know of a vague idea of what will happen. |
Mar 3, 2014 11:14 PM

No, I would not drop an anime because it has been spoiled for me. I have put off watching Death Note though because I know how it ends due to a dick not using spoiler tags. I will watch it eventually. |

I almost dropped Clannad After Story too because of a stupid spoiler and it was one of the most important happenings in the series. But I decided to continue anyway. |

Nope. I guess i'm pretty lucky because i haven't really even encountered all that much big spoilers for movies, games or anything. It suck's of course if a show/game/book revolves around mystery and someone take's the fun of figuring it out for you but even if that happens those shows/games/books are still worth going through. Just yesterday i accidentally ended up on thread of episode discussion for LOGH episode 82 instead 22 and let's just say that there was one huge ass spoiler that i wouldn't have wanted to know but discovering it hasn't really harmed the experience of watching the show in any way. Spoilers still suck though. |

I believe Naruto anime adapts up to 4 chapters sometimes, aside from fillers and padding episodes, Naruto has the fastest pace among long runners. The slow pace is due to the content, since Madhouse adapts the narration which takes a lot of time, thus slowing down the pace. |

I more or less dropped Monster because someone spoiled the ending for me, but to be honest I wasn't even enjoying it that much so that's probably the real reason for dropping it. |

5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |

I haven't dropped an anime because of a spoiler, but I've put one on hold for a long time because of it. Code Geass was the victim of this horrible spoiler which Facebook was kinda enough to provide. |

The slow pace is due to the content, since Madhouse adapts the narration which takes a lot of time, thus slowing down the pace. Naruto's pacing in terms of chapter to episode ratio is average at best. Naruto in total has 1.6 chapters=1 episode ratio which is better than something like One Piece which is at 1.3 chapters=1 episodes but no where close to some other long running shonen. Fairy Tail has a ratio of about 2.1 chapters=1 episode and ironically enough HunterxHunter has one of the highest being around 2.4 chapters=1 episode which is almost as high as Bleach when it was airing. Method for calculating this is very simple: take the current number of episodes in the series and subtract all filler episodes so you get pure number of canon episodes. Then work out what chapter in the manga the anime has gotten up to and divide the chapter number by the number of canon episodes then bam! you have your ratio. Now of course the adaptation ratio will not necessarily correlate completely with how people feel about the pacing but this is just some food for thought. |

Having something spoiled for me is one of my biggest annoyances. I usually watch it anyway because it's so difficult for me not to finish something. Everyone is different though, it's a matter if you can look past it or not. Based off your reasons for stop watching Death Note I would say to continue it. L's death is pretty early on and the constant cat and mouse game between them is far more interesting even knowing that. The show can get so tense at certain points. From when I first started reading the manga I kind of assumed Light would end up dying no matter what because, although he is the main character, he is a villain and it foreshadows his death throughout. |

Naruto in particular has a lot of padding, more so than Bleach even though they are adapted by the same studio, or at least that's what I remember and from me currently re-watching Bleach. Well it not like I was stating Naruto having the best pacing as a fact. It's what I felt. When there was no padding, it felt the fastest. |

Yes. I dropped some anime because of spoilers. If I strongly dislike a particular character(s) in the show I go looking for ending spoilers and if I find out that I would have to suffer through that character(s) and still get an unsatisfying ending I just drop the show. Heck, I would have dropped Shuffle at episode 3 if I didn't read the ending spoilers |

Well you can't really ignore padding though if it is within episodes and thus not really skippable the way one can ignore filler episodes or entire arcs. Saying that the series is fast paced without padding is just saying that part of episodes are fast paced. A person can't really experience the anime without padding unless somehow they found all the episodes that have edited it all out or they decide very quickly that a scene is padding and then somehow figure where exactly to skip to in the episode. Thus because it is very difficult to do this I am pretty sure that most people just watch the episode normally and the padding would have to be taken into account affect their perception of the pacing. |

Yeah I guess so. Saying it's has the fastest pace aside from padding is irrelevant. I shouldn't have made the comparison to Naruto. |
