| Stop reading reviews, problem solved. MAL "reviews" suck anyway.. |
 |
how about you just don't care about spoilers and judge a show for what it is and not how much it can surprise you  there problem solved |
 |
| It is very hard to not spoil some events especially when you are so annoyed by the series and want to explain your opinion, it become inevitable. |
 |
| This is why people like myself put spoiler warnings. The best reviews spoil the piss out of their anime anyway; it's the best way to get examples and truly get every major point across. |

| There are a lot of reviews on MAL with "headings" or first lines like "Major/Minor Spoilers in the review" - so that's fine I think. But of course there are reviews containing spoilers w/o any warning - but if it's for finished series that's fine too in my opinion. I mean there are shows that have been finished for years and people still complain about spoilers in reviews??? You had enough time to watch this show. For some shows it's hard to review w/o spoilers - depending on the anime tho - because the review's main point might be about that spoiler [plot twist/dead etc.] It's hard to stay away from spoilers in general on MAL and some other anime communities/SNS. If you're not okay with spoilers you really should stop reading reviews on MAL. |

| I feel like the people who get upset at being "spoiled" should avoid any outlet that could contain them, seeing as they're the ones with the problem. Fix it yourself, don't expect others to go out of their way to please you. If a show is good it will be enjoyable to you even if you know the entire outline of the plot. Surprise factor is worthless in my opinion, why people are so bent on keeping it in tact I'll never know. If you're considering someone telling you a show is "sad" a spoiler then that just about limits your reviews to "it was good/bad/okay". Which is what numerical scores are for. |

| As the majority of these replies have said, I think reading reviews without warnings to spoilers is one of the worse things to do. This point can go with anything. Don't google a character from a tv show as it could come up with pictures of their death scene. Don't youtube characters - it could come up with their death scene. Don't read reviews - it could go over their death scene. From what you said about people saying "its a major feels train", "it get's really sad." I actually kinda agree tbh. The anticipation in mind of waiting for something majorly sad to happen ruins the experience. Although I completely agree when people say you shouldn't judge a show for who dies but only for what the actual story is about, the fact that I know someone is going to die burdens me throughout the show and I can't help it. But thats just me. To avoid any of this I'd say just watch a show without looking at comments, reviews, pictures etc. |
