I do read spoilers sometimes, mostly because i want to find out if my prediction of the storyline is correct or not, or if i want to confirm a fact that the anime didn't make clear (Which somehow, Wiki makers know). Also, sometimes Anime go down a different path than source material (Eg. LN, Manga, Visual Novel) so i want to know what's different too.
And uh, well, Sometimes if it's a romance anime i want to know just when the confession scene is so i can, ahem, look forward to it.
i dont read spoilers. i just read the synopsis and check what genres it has. to me i just dont feel ljke watching the anime if i know whats already going to happen because i want it to be a surprise.
I don't usually like spoilers, whether it's video games, TV shows, anime, or just about anything, I just don't like spoilers. Reason why is because I like to be surprised by what I see, I feel like if I know too much about an anime or video game it ruins the experience for me, I want to be caught into an anime and have no idea what's going to happen next, it builds up suspense and anticipation, and whenever I finally reach the end of that road I always feel satisfied and fulfilled. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not someone who jumps in blind, I at least like to see if the anime fits my genre preferences and sometimes I read the general description of the anime just to see what it's about, but I don't read any further than that, I like to be surprised.
I never have to look up spoilers for any anime I watch because there usually adapted from a manga or light novel I read. As for anime movies, I avoid looking up spoilers that way if something interesting happens, I want to be surprised.
If I see an anime that looks intresting and I might watch it, I read about it. I only read the plot however, but with the anime for Bleach I spoiled the whole thing when I was halfway through the series lol
Why spoil the story, if I'm not sure about something I either shelve it temporarily or ask a friend for their opinion. Odds are someone i know has already seen it.
[size=12][/h]I read spoilers but it is usually always by accident. Mid way through a series I will usually wonder about something like a characters age or the like. Then while reading that it will suddenly give a large spoiler like: "Senpai-san was 17 years old until her death at episode 11[/h]
usually I only read things after watching them. you know to learn more about them. but on occasion I have searched them on wikipedia or something similar before watching them.
i do every once in a while just to see if what im thinking is going to shake out or if there is a divergence in anime vs manga. one exception to this rule right now is attack on titan. i found myself wanting to read the manga so i could get a heads up on the anime, but those last few episodes gave me such big chills i've decided not to ruin the current experience of watching and waiting just so i could have the spine tingling moments fresh and untainted.
But I really hate it, when your browsing the web, looking up anime to watch, manga to read ect. And BAM someone posts a major spoiler with little to no warning. Far to much anime has been killed for me because of that
