How do you guys cope with spoilers? The other day i saw some Madoka spoilers and the whole show was completely ruined for me

No good story can be ruined by spoilers.
Some are made better by not knowing what's going to happen next, but if it's entirely reliant on that then it was never good in the first place.

A story should be strong enough, that even if you already know the outcome, you are still able to enjoy the ride.

M.NightShamAlone was notorious for writing shit stories but people enjoyed them because they had some retarded twist.

If you're story can't survive people knowing the gimmick it's fucking garbage anyways.

I don't care about them in general and in some cases I actually watched or played some media specifically because I got spoiled and wanted to learn more.

I don't care.

I actually watched The Sixth Sense knowing the plot twist (thanks to the DVD extras) and I still loved it.

the size of this spoiler picture freaks me out

Madoka is fine even if you have spoilers going in.

For your question in general I try to cope by looking at how well the story is written instead of whether it surprises me or not.

If you're anime's quality primarily stems from twists, it's bad. See Madoka. I've lost track of the all people who told me the show dropped from a 10/10 to a 4/10 to them after their first rewatch.

Spoilers never bothered me in any medium. Seeing incomplete snippets simply is not the same experience as the story in context. It's the unity of the whole that's valuable.

If I care about watching a series I don't read anything online and hide any threads about it. Most shows I watch these days however are comedies so there is nothing really to spoil.

By not browsing this place during premieres.

Mami dies.

I can't remember spoilers since I can only watch anime shitfaced so I don't pause every 20 seconds from cringe

>Aw, Snap!

>How do you guys cope with spoilers?
By realizing plot twists do not make a story good.

Only low IQs watch Madoka for the twists.

A spoiler has never kept me from enjoying anything. Even stuff like Gakkou Gurashi, I went into that spoiled and was still on the edge of my seat the whole time, and I still came away thinking it was one of the best pieces of media I ever watched.
I just don't understand people's reactions, I feel like they're blowing their lid because they saw other people do it or something. Or because they think they're SUPPOSED to feel like that. I can't imagine it being fully genuine

avoid threads for things you plan to watch
but there comes a point where it's your fault, like bitch madoka is finished and old as sin you had fucking years to watch it
fuck ToGfags though. gookshit has no place on Zig Forums and the fanbase is horrid

I have somehow avoided Sayonara Sensei spoilers for 3years now. I’m finally on the final season now but luckily it’s not popular enough for people to post the ending as it’s own thread OP.

Spoilers often encourage me to watch stuff, because sometimes I can't even find the motivation to start a show.

>Gakkou Gurashi
Based. Both Madoka and School Live are incredible.

If a spoiler ruins a series, It just wasn't that good.

I have bad memory when it comes to character names, name of the series etc, I know naruto, few others but any small show I just dont invest in it, so when someone posts spoilers it doesnt even register with me most of the time.

This.

The worst spoilers can do is make an event unsurprising, but in that case usually it's compensated for by anticipation for an event.

If the spoilers ruin your desire to continue a series, it's either because the series wasn't very good in the first place or the development was plain badly written.

I haven't bothered with Cowboy Bebop for that reason

Good posts, Lain is an excellent example of something that's still great even if you've had it spoiled.
I imagine most anons knew she was god long before they watched the first episode, simply due to how frequently it is referenced on this board

Madoka foreshadows its twists so in theory you would be able to guess them anyway. That's one of the indicators that the plot points are being written well and aren't just based around surprise.

I was spoiled about Clannad and I still cried little bitch tears, so it varies.

More often than not, spoilers intrigue me to watch a show in the first place. The good ones stand out despite the spoilers but the bad ones that hinge on the shock value are forgotten quickly.

if a story's only value is surprise, it's a shit story
