| So as the title says, are you able to continue watching a series, if someone (or something) spoiled the series for you? For example, reading episode summaries, or seeing only small portions of a series? Or at the very least, felt that the Anime wasn't good as it would've been if you didn't hear the ending? For me, I really just couldn't watch the rest of Fruits Basket after hearing that |
 |
| Argh I hate it when an anime is spoiled for me. Especially if it spoils a character's death. X( I find it really hard to enjoy an anime if it's spoiled for me. |
 |
| Yes I can... |
| Noob question, but how do I make a spoiler tag? |
| Yes I can. Even if you know something critical, there are so many ways things can unfold, and so many ways to get the part that got spoiled. |

| yep, I learned the ending of code geass, and still enjoyed it immensely. Good thing I thought no way that was going to happen when I first found out. Spoiler tags for youtube, please. |
 |
| i suppose it depends on how relevant the ending is compared to the anime's buildup. series that pretty much rely on the audience's curiosity throughout the entire show are more likely to be enjoyed less if it has been spoiled for other people. say for example Death Note or Code Geass, in which we can plainly see the conflict from the very beginning of these shows and the ending is just a summation of whether or not the protagonist succeeds. suspense is another major factor and I think anime with very unexpected or surprising endings are also less enjoyable if they are spoiled. Puella Magi Madoka Magica and School Days fall into this category. of course, if it's a good series that you'd like to watch you should probably just watch it anyways. you can still enjoy a show even if it's been spoiled. me personally, I'd still watch a show I looked forward to even if it were spoiled. knowing the outcome generally doesn't affect my viewing experience, since as I've stated before, you can still enjoy something even if you know what comes next. but I still try not to get spoiled since it does take away some enjoyability. and I've gotten pretty good at dodging spoilers. |

| So far, I haven't stopped watching an anime despite knowing a spoiler, regardless of its importance. I accidentally read a Youtube comment about Clannad AS that Even the Netflix episode descriptions gave away something about the story. It indirectly gave away the fact that It was pretty easy to tell what would happen from previous events. When I was watching Code Geass, I youtube'd "Lelouch" (Don't do this if you're not done) and before I could finish typing one of the first auto completes was Also, more importantly from Code Geass, the youtube search said A friend told me that, in Cowboy Bebop, |
| Yeah, it doesn't bother me. |
| Yeah. Same with RPG games. If someone spoils the ending/parts of what happen in the future before I get there, I don't go near the series or game for a couple days or weeks so I can forget, then go straight back to playing/watching. Unless my mom tells me about it, then I won't be able to let it go. |
| Yes. Sometimes if I know the ending, by accident, I can focus more on the characters and plot. |
| I can still watch it but it annoys me if someone does. It's worse if someone dies or someone falls in love with someone I wouldn't except or something >w< |

| The first episode of Cowboy Bebop I ever saw was The Real Folk Blues, Part 2. ...Yeah. |
| I read spoilers for Madoka Magica back when I didn't think I would ever watch it...I still loved the show, but it didn't make as big of an impact on me because I already knew the ending. But for Code Geass, even though I knew of It really just depends on the show, and the length of the show. |
| If its an series I'm enjoying and would like to see the ending myself and someone spoils it then there is a high chance I would drop it or put it on hold for a few months. Cause whats the point in watching something if someone spoils the ending in detail and talks about the events that lead up to it? It pisses me more when people tell me who dies especially my favorite characters like recently when my friend told me on purpose too. Mirai Nikki He knows I hate spoilers that involves a death of a character especially if its one I'm obsessing over. He can be such a douche sometimes. >_> Well next time he ruins a single thing for me on purpose especially a character death I'll just spoil ever chapter of his beloved manga until it ends. lol karma. *evil grin* As for Mirai Nikki I'll put it on hold for a couple more weeks before deciding to continue it cause luckily the rest hasn't been spoiled for me. So I have no idea outside of what I put in the spoiler will happen next. |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| Yup i can |
 まったく、小学生は最高だぜ！！ |
| i can but it takes away so much and makes it hard to finish like i got it spoiled who dies int he end of gurren and it was just lingering onto me the entire time i watched the show till it happened |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
DarChronicle said: wow you count that a spoiler, thats obvious from the first episode, why do you think they focused so much on the For me, I really just couldn't watch the rest of Fruits Basket after hearing that |

| yes, i do, but it's not as enjoyable when something gets spoiled while i'm already partway through the series, i still watch it because i try to finish whatever i start. but the whole time i'll be in denial and i'll try to make myself believe that i never saw the spoiler Dx but that makes me nervous throughout the rest of the series for example, in clannad afterstory, i read a comment that said and i literally told my friend (who had already seen the series) "tell me this doesn't actually happen and make it very convincing so that i actually believe you!" it really just made me even more internally conflicted though, haha NEVER READ THE COMMENTS on youtube, etc. and if a series that i havent seen gets spoiled for me, it's usually not significant enough for me to still remember by the time i actually watch it (unless it was highly anticipated) |
 |
| Well, I watched School Days even though I knew the ending =P. It was still really enjoyable actually, but for other anime's I don't know. |
 "I like to expose what people hide. I'm an intellectual rapist." - Furudo Erika |
| Doesn't really matters to me as long as the "journey" to the end was good. An example would be who won between to two main guys. I knew the answer before hand but I still enjoyed it as how one of them was able to overcome the other was much more interesting. |
 |
| I can, but it takes so much out of the surprise really. I once searched YouTube for "epic scenes in anime" or something like that, and there was like a top 5 or top 10 and I watched it even though I didn't watch the shows that those scenes came from. The shows that got spoiled for me were Clannad AS Code Geass R2 and Death Note |
| "Isn't life, by nature, a contest decided by a single round? However trifling the matter, it's not possible to return to the last save point by pushing some reset button." - Kazuki Hoshino, Hakomari, Vol. 1 |
| Yes, but about 1/2 of the enjoyment is gone. Somebody spoiled Clannad for me :-( |
| Somebody spoiled Clannad After Story for me when they told me they even told me the exact episode so the whole series i was was just counting down. |
 |
| I watched both School Days and AnoHana knowing the ending before it happened and still enjoyed them both to the full extent. (I thought episode 11 for AnoHana was episode 1 because all I looked at was the 1...) *facepalm |
 |
| The vast majority of my favorite series have been spoiled in some capacity such as (and these are BIG spoilers so don't click unless you have seen these series): NGE Utena: LoGH One Piece Clannad After Story Suffice to say, these spoilers didn't hamper my enjoyment in any way for these series. But, I'd rather avoid spoilers if possible. |

| Okay maybe i'm the ONLY one...but I don't really care about spoilers that much... So, say I randomly come across a comment that mentions someone died in a show I'm watching. I don't get mad and say "why did they say that!?" I get interested! I don't know the circumstances of their death or what lead up to it, so that's part of what's so awesome and get's me either excited or sad for what will happen. But either way, it makes me want to watch / catch up even more! |
| Well, I do, but I don't like that much... there no that feeling of surprise, excitement etc. The best example for it is: Code Geass R2 |
| LOGH Otherwise, depending on the series, I will continue watching the series if I'm liking it so far or if what I find out turns out to be a turn-off, I'll end up dropping it. |
| Series I did continue watching: FMA:Brotherhood (didn't ruin anything since it was a "happy" spoiler) Toradora! (Same, for me) Series I didn't want to watch because of it: (I'd really like to reconsider some of these...] Code Geass Death Note Clannad+AS Wolf's Rain Madoka Cowboy Bebop TTGL |
| Madoka Magica But it is not near how i expected it to be. |
 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ |
| yes i can |
| yeah i'd still watch it. i still wanna see how it actually happened. then why it happened. in the long run, i'd watch the whole episode anyway. p.s. |
 |
| yeah i can, doesn't really bother me... |
 |
| Well, when I watched Death Note I already knew pretty much everything that was going to happen because my friends wouldn't shut up about it. I try to avoid spoilers, but if an anime looks interesting enough, they won't bother me. |
| Yes, I watch. The best part is what happens throughout the series. Sometimes without seeing the whole anime you can't even understand the ending. |
 |
| actually a certain someone spoiled 13-2 for me before i even put it in my ps3, you know its really hard to push through a game when you know exactly who dies and why at the end, i thought he was BSing me but then i saw a picture of it |

| well its a yes and a no but i remember when i first saw code geass on youtube and some twat posted a death on the first episode wich ruined it for me -.- but still watched it |
| please make my breakfast every morning for me sweet cheeks! *bowling position" |
| Depends how much it spoils. |
| I definitely have superpowers. I can feel it in my balls. |
| I had Clannad -AS- spoiled for me, but that didn't stop me from watching it. I also got spoiled with Death Note and Code Geass, but it had been so long since I've got them spoiled I think that I forgot what the spoiler was, anyways. |
| I almost always end up spoiling anime for myself. Mostly because a few years ago when I wasn't a hardcore watcher, I'd just read up the endings to series since I just thought "eh, I'll never watch it anyway". Yeaaaah. |
| Yes |
| It really brings me down but i still watch it because you still don't know HOW it happens and you can still watch the development beforehand. |
| <img src="http://i852.photobucket.com/albums/ab85/disturbedjeans/guiltyc1.jpg" /> |
| Just depends on the series |
| Everything comes full circle eventually. |
| Someone spoiled Katekyo Hitman Reborn for me by showing me a good fight in it. I was actually glad she did that. I was about to quit KHR. The beginning - ugh. |
| It'll just take the surprise out, but I see no reason to stop. Sometimes, it's pretty obvious whats gonna happen. |
| I'll still watch though it wouldn't really feel the same as watching a series fresh. Also, if someone talks about a series then has a spoiler tag (for instance in this thread) then you could already assume that someone has died or something so technically you're already being spoiled. At least for me anyways... |
