Yes, I watch, but I cant' enjoy it as much as if I hadn't been spoiled.

A comment spoiled me the chapter 25 of Death Note, (Oh yeah, you all know what happens there)
I was around the chapter 8 and I was really frustrated but I watched it anyway and it's one of my favorites.

Yes. Fate/Zero was an anime that essentially came pre-spoiled for everyone who had read or watched Fate/stay night, but the story was just as compelling regardless.

I don't really mind spoilers to be honest. I don't think it really effects enjoyment that much, but people obsess and overreact about them. It's not like the story changes from knowing. It's still the same video, audio, plot etc.

Yes. I knew that ..."something" happens at the end of School Days (I didn't knew who was involved though) and it still mindf***ed me 0_0

Yup. I'm way more interested in how a series reaches its ending than the end itself. Which is why spoilers don't matter to me and in fact make me more excited to watch the show sometimes.

Someone spoiled the end of Death Note for me. I've never been the same. I think that no one should spoil anything for anyone, even if asked to, because if you want to know you should watch it yourself. Some anime it is less grave, like for any slice of life comedy a single spoiler isn't going to kill the story, however, in a story like Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica, a single slip of the tongue is the end of the world. A person cannot fully enjoy that anime if they know what is going to happen. I will cry a thousand tears for anyone who has had that show spoiled for them.

Yes, I would still watch it. I suppose it ruins the experience a bit, but nevertheless, I will not drop it or anything ridiculous like that.

Easily, The best way to experience the ending is to watch it yourself, even the ending would have been spoiled, after all they are just words from another, not videos or anything..I hope >:|

I may be a little pissed but I'll never stop watching a show because I know the ending. Thanks to the spoiler-ific Clannad Movie description on Wikipedia, I knew what happened in the end. Nevertheless, it was still really fucking sad.

I'm almost that far but it never ruins it for me because watching it is completely different from reading a spoiler. Actually sometimes spoilers make me watch some anime cause i know theres gonna be a huge plot event or something.

Spoilers sometimes keep me from dropping an anime...
For example I dropped Gundam Seed halfway through because some characters pissed me off but then I read some ending spoilers and learned that
and that kept me watching

Haha, no.
Atmosphere is out the window.
Ruins what interest I had in the story in the first place.
Especially mystery spoilers.
There are some exceptions though, like if I predicted that would happen I wouldn't feel negative.


Oh yeah, also never go to Youtube to watch an anime, even if it's in HD.
Fucking related videos show xxxx character death

This has happened to me quite a few times now. The worse thing to do when you find a new anime to watch but is old is to look at the comments on youtube. Actually don't even look at videos of that anime on youtube because sometimes the titles of the thumbnail can ruin the whole series that you are watching.

Yupp.. I don't really like it if I know the ending, but I still want to know what happens throughout the whole story. I stopped watching on youtube unless its my only option because when I went on my channel last time, it spoiled the ending of one of the anime's I was watching due to those recommended ones on the right >_<" Sometimes the thumbnails really kill the story though, like showing someone dying..

Yes often it's not the ending of the show itself that gets to you it's the catharsis of everything that has happened to get there. Thus I have enjoyed many shows that were spoiled for me.

Yes, but it usually diminishes some of the rush. I've learned through trial and error that if i'm watching something, or plan on watching something, I should stay far and clear from anything on the internet related to it. Youtube, MAL topics on it, streaming site comments, etc.

Yes, it just recently happened to me. Finishing the last episode of season 1 of SAO, I was watching the first 5 minutes when the video hiccupped 20 minutes into the episode revealing the outcome of the battle. Knowing the ending, I started over till the end and it was still worth it. I really enjoy SAO, so I needed to see everything. I think if its a good anime, you will still watch it.

Technically wasn't spoiled by another person but just technical difficulties. None the less...it was still spoiled.

Yeah,i actually got a spoiler of Clannad AS

Code geass

And Death Note

School Days

Toradora!


But all of them were really good even if i knew what was going to happen,some stories are too good that even with a spoiler you cant ruin it.
After this spoilers i never search videos of a series on youtube before finish,i'm affraid to even read reviews.
But you just cant run away from spoiler,they are everywhere.

Basically to me the plot/process of the anime is wat make the anime Unique and not the ending so it is just merely concluding the anime. Usually some anime does have expected ending without even seeing the ending itself. I always get spoiled by my friends but still watch it. The plot of the anime is wat I usually look for not the ending.

yes i find people who whine about show being "spoiled" annoying

when the show is as old as like dragon ball z and people get made at me and say "oh why did you spoil that whine whine bi** bi**" i mean come on!

i spoil most anime for my self to see if its worth watching. it does not ruin the show in any way the show is just as good in fact awesome spoilers only make me want to watch it more :)

Yes, yes and YES! I somtimes will ask people to spoil for me if it's an anime and I know friends that have read the manga. That's me however. I wouldn't just randomly spoil for someone unless they asked me to.

It hinders the experience quite a bit, but if the story and characters are really good I can manage. Heck, sometimes big endgame spoilers actually wet my excitement for a particular story.

Just like that without the spaces.

I watched Clannad After Story finding out that something happens to a certain someone... However, I didn't know what happened after that certain point and I watched it despite knowing what happens to that certain someone.


Don't worry, I also found that out, but still whelped when it happened...

I haven't really had any animes spoiled for me, as none of my friends watch anime, so I don't talk to anyone about the series I watch.

The only experience I had with someone spoiling anime for me was back in grade 7, when my friend's sister spoiled Death note for me. (I watched it on television, so I was way behind) I didn't mind, and continued watching it.

I avoided reading everything from OP's post and am just posting this based on the title due to possible spoilers in the thread.

Bit extreme, I know.
