    Isn't the rule here that anything less than 5 years old should be spoilertagged?

    I never watched Evangelion for that very reason. It sounded so promising, too ;_;

    I had no excuse for not watching Eva up until a few months ago-- especially since it's what, 12 years old now? It was intensely hard to avoid spoilers for it, too, but I managed somehow.

    Are you *snip*? How does some random anime, regardless of quality having multiple iterations give it any more priority than others when it comes to the press? How does ANY medium fall under that category? It's not impossible to be able to avoid spoilers for anything, especially when you try hard enough to do it. I'm so sorry that you think that Death Note is God's gift to humanity, and that you have to fangirl-cream yourself for it. Get over yourself. If Momiji has really tried hard enough to avoid spoilers for something that's only been out for three years, it's not sad at all. Maybe he wants to see just how good it is for himself without the need for someone to tell him every single detail or hint of symbolism.

    Regardless of spoiler expiration dates, it's entirely possible to avoid them.

    I could just as easily give you another animu or mango with greater popularity, and still somehow have avoided spoilers until I watched the animu for myself. Guess what? They're older than Death Note. If anything, I find it sad that you put Death Note at the top of your tier list, not that most of the people here have quality tastes in animu.

    My suggestion:
    Boku no Pico

    It's not. Roffle waffle. Get off your animu white horse darling. It's just a popular series. I would have said the same thing if he was complaining about something like harry potter being spoiled. Obviously you overlooked the part, when you came charging in, that it was a "popularity=spoilers"

    But that's ok. I'll forgive you Tavy. You don't mean to jump to insults about animu, it's just in your nature to be grumpy .

    It's no more popular than Gurren Lagaan or Code Geass, but I still have yet to see any major spoilers for those two series outside of /a/ or Wikipedia.

    Are you being daft or intentionally dense? You completely missed what I said about being able to avoid spoilers if you tried hard enough, regardless of popularity. The basis of your argument is that Death Note somehow has some kind of media priority over other shows, something which you levied against Momiji. Inexplicable, to say the least, because there's far more popular animu in the world, but of course, you wouldn't bother to watch any of them.

    Tavrobel: Please refrain from calling people retarded.

    Freya: Please do not retaliate. Instead just simply use the warn and leave it at that.

    I forgot a really good one. You should watch Queen's Blade! And you should watch it in a big room with everyone you've ever known. Their opinions will surely change of you.

    (SPOILER)Stealth ploy to get everyone to stop arguing at each other is go!
    (SPOILER)Seriously don't watch Queen's Blade of your own free will. It's pretty bad.

    Did you ever finish it, Jess?
    Not yet, but more because I really just have no time between other shows I want to get through with Hux (Babylon 5, I've become such a nerd! ) since Ichigo Mashimaro didn't strike him. I'll finish it soon!
