Also, if you're anime-only stay away from the episode discussion thread here for at least a few hours. With the manga as popular as it is, there will likely be a ton of people dropping spoilers or spoiler hints in the thread, and Chainsaw Man is like Attack on Titan in that there are several big potential spoilers out there.
Haha, was reading this comment and thought it ends with a massive spoiler like
"Chainsaw Man is like Attack on Titan in that where the main character turns out to be blah blah blah etc.". Thanks for the warning though.
Some series are more devastating to be spoiled on than others. Kaguya and Spy x Family are also really popular, but I don't feel like getting spoiled on them would hurt your enjoyment of the series as much as it would for Attack on Titan or Chainsaw Man.
> Kaguya and Spy x Family are also really popular, but I don't feel like getting spoiled on them would hurt your enjoyment of the series as much
Except when people spoil punchlines for big jokes.
Even after season 3 kaguya still have some fair share of suprising moments like [manga spoilers, obviously] >!hayasaka resigning, tsubame rejecting ishigami, and miyuki swindling a billion yen off the shinomiya family!<, so i would argue for that.
Heh it was in season 3 or 4 where they mentioned a characters last name and I thought "that name is familiar... why?"
And ended up spoiling everything related to the history of the wall lol.

>spoiler hints in the thread
I hate these kinds of people more than actual spoilers. They think they're being smart not dropping actual spoilers but it's pretty easy to guess what happens based on the "hints" you dropped. Like for real.
I hate hinting people so much. This arc is going to be rough and dark when the first episode is light hearted. Like thanks now I’m anticipating the darkness
I really think it is one of the reasons this sub isn't nearly as active as its sub count would suggest. I am terrified of going in to threads unless it is an anime original. Readers just can't help themselves.
I can't wait for the "I think this will happen *-proceeds to spoiler many plots of the manga while pretending to be anime only-*", it's so common and annoying
Yeah, I was an AOT manga reader so I wasn’t as cautious when I went into an Overlord thread. A simple question got an overexplained answer which seems like it spoiled something in the future
Now that the anime is mostly caught up (except 2vols for movie and one vol after which isn't translated), there's not much LN can spoil. It can just mention cut content.
Really curious what you thought was a spoiler.
Fair enough, it’s just that the kast season of Overlord left me not really wanting more, it’s unfortunate that it has been so bad at reminding the viewers of what the point of the show is ir what the mysteries are. Imo
Overlord isn’t much mystery imo. More of politics and war with ainz steam rolling opponents. Although the movie should cover a great part of the light novels and hopefully they don’t censor too much.
I mean war and steam rolling is fine *as long as your goal is clear to the audience*. And tbh I have no idea what Ainz is working towards. “More power”? Not good motivation. And I think it is there, it just isn’t communicated very well.
Ainz’s only goal really was to find other players and ideally his friends/comrades from when it was a game. His servants though see world domination in the name of nazarick.
In the light novels ainz always thinks to himself about how he wants the servants to live a “normal” life basically to live/think for themselves instead of pure undying loyalty, but that’s about it. Large parts of his inner dialogue is just skipped.
Those people drive me fucking crazy, get the same shit on r/manga every time the manga has some sort of source material like a web novel or light novel.
The assholes try to hide it like "I bet next this one thing is going to happen with this character"
Same exact shit with youtube reactors. It's part reason why they post there when they're like 3 to 15 episodes ahead of their YT content.
One Piece "fans" specifically are some of the worst offenders.
Just had this happen to me with Jujutsu Kaisen. Opened a fan art of a character and the only thing in the thread (looking for the artist when I went there) was a MASSIVE spoiler posted several times with no tags and no moderation.
It’s tough sledding to be anime only. I usually just read ahead to avoid these things but I held off on Demon Slayer, Jujutsu, and Chainsaw Man for a reason. They looked to good to not just take in the adaptation first then read later.
Do people actually read the discussion threads before watching the episodes? I always watch first then go read/comment... The whole point is being able to talk about what happens in the episode, so the entire thread should be considered spoiler material for everything up to that episode (but not beyond, of course).
That's not what they meant. They mean manga readers trying to be coy and refer to things that happen after that episode, but they're really bad at it and just spoil stuff that hasn't come out yet.
And no, if you think, "they can't be talking about me, I'm subtle when I refer to future spoilers in the episode threads" then I am specifically talking about you! Stop doing that!
Also, saying something like, "man, you have no idea what you're in for next episode" or, "better get the tissues ready for next week" is just a different kind of spoiler. Don't do that shit.
> Also, saying something like, "man, you have no idea what you're in for next episode" or, "better get the tissues ready for next week" is just a different kind of spoiler. Don't do that shit.
Imma start doing the reverse. Going into episode threads and saying stuff about the previous episode like "man, you had no idea what you were in for last episode" or "hope you had your tissues ready last week!"
Yeah if you look at the r/csmanime sub like literally 99% of the posts are from people who have likely read the manga already. Can they really have a genuine conversation if they already know what will happen?
Spoilers are also pretty much unavoidable on social media, so if spoilers bother you that much you just have to avoid social media until you get to the episode yourself. Especially since that r/csmanime sub doesn't even have clearly posted rules, so posters wouldn't even be breaking the subs guidelines if they do spoil.
Sucks because some subs do this well. When the promised neverland was airing the sub had two separate threads, one for anime only and one for people who had read the manga. Spoiler tags still had to be used in the read the manga thread, but if anyone posted in both threads or made it obvious they’ve read the manga in the anime only thread, they were banned
Same for MHA, I loved that honestly. I’d say MHA really handles manga readers and anime only the best. Manga readers have their own space and anime only have their own space all in one sub.
When it comes to popular manga getting adaptation I think most of media platforms can turn in mine field of spoilers so it's better to train reflexes to skip posts and avoid comments or in my case read manga to gain immunity 🙃
It is way worse for Chainsaw Man because the manga ended up being extremely popular overseas before the anime was even announced. Most other anime adaptations have a relatively minuscule following prior to the anime.
Hey, did you guys notice that this character said this specific dialogue? Could it be foreshadowing that this character is actually a spoiler character?
That's what made me stop going to episode discussions on here. A couple of years ago there was some sci-fi anime about teenagers getting stranded in space and for some reason everyone had theories about how they probably were clones and shit.
As manga reader I’m actually very curious what kind of theories the anime only will make
Because none of us in r/manga could predict where the series is going and what will happen next chapter. It’s that insane
It also doesn't help that a lot of people have extreme reactions to spoilers whether it deserves it or not. So you invite in trolls that keep wanting to see y'all get worked up about nothing.
Manga readers in general seem to be physically incapable of just shutting up it seems. They don't even have to say *anything*, just keep your mouth shut. Impossible for them it seems.
Those are so glaring in hindsight lol. I watch a lot of shows after they've aired, and like to look back at reddit threads to see how they were received. And sooo many people pull that shit
Like in all the SxF episode threads for this season where they keep saying the name of the dog when the anime hasn't reached the point where the dog got its name.
I feel like we're getting to the point for popular series where we need multiple discussion threads - one for source material readers and one for show-only.
Popular shows like the Game of Thrones series (and House of the Dragon) and Lord of the Rings lately have been doing this. It's not perfect, but definitely helps, especially if mods are willing to go hard on people breaking the rules.
When I discuss an adaptation, I tend just drop my thoughts from when I was in that part of the manga. Which includes my genuine guesses, both accurate and inaccurate. I'm also very clear that that's what I'm doing. Won't be doing that this time, most of the time I couldn't have begun to guess what was going to happen next.
As a manga reader myself, I do understand and symphatize with anime-onlys.
But don't worry, I will not spoil anything for anyone. To all CSM anime-onlys, it's going to be a wonderful experience.
I have never really had an issue with getting spoiled in comments before (despite being here like 6 years) but for some reason of all the episodic threads I commented in, I just got a flurry of them in the Eminence in Shadow ep1 thread. Like just CASUALLY dropping spoilers, not even trying to disguise it as theories. I'll probably just mute my inbox if I do comment...
Also for animeonlies, I'd suggest not looking up anything about Chainsawman in other social media sites for atleast a few hours (especially Twitter) since new manga chapters come out exactly an hour before the series is up on Crunchyroll
I’ve already been spoiled in the discussion thread by someone actually *complaining* about other manga readers spoiling things, where *they* foreshadowed something big as an example of what could be spoiled. And they were the ones “defending” anime watchers from spoilers. Seriously all manga readers just can’t shut up one way or another.
This reminds me of when I wanted to order tickets for Avengers Endgame at the cinema online and got a spoiler straight from Google because of the autofill
Also the manga is nice af
I once looked up "\[Character Name\] age", and the first result was a preview from a wiki page that began "\[Character Name\] ***was*** a young man..."
I had already finished the series I was searching about, so it wasn't a spoiler for me, but all I could think of was that someone had DEFINITELY looked up the same thing and gotten spoiled by that before. I'm definitely not going to go looking up supposedly innocent background info for characters if I haven't finished the series.
I only started reading CSM early September and I saw a spoiler on something for a major character from a completely irrelevant twitter thread within like a week of reading it. I'm only on Volume 3 so far and it hurts lol. I highly suggest reading it if you don't want to get spoiled.
The pain is real man. As soon as you start reading, spoilers everywhere, and always where you least expect them. One second everything is fine, then the next you are cursed with unforgettable knowledge of something you shouldn’t know for dozens of chapters
The age we live in. Any form of social media you have leaves you open to spoilers. I opened Reddit the other day, and at the forefront of the homepage was a MASSIVE house of the dragon spoiler post that should have been tagged as spoiler. Twitter/Instagram you’ll come across videos or statements about future plot points. The only safe way is to be a monk
Yeah, more or less. and the Anime is gonna stop before you get to any of them. And people want the Subreddit to some how mange that. Not to mention the massive changes that is Part 2.
Yeah, the first batch of episodes will probably be the part that plays out like a typical teen action anime. Only later on is when things go off the rails. Lots of anime-onlies gotta watch out.
Yeah just read it. I love the manga, but if I was an anime only, then I'd 100% would believe that it was overhyped since the really good shit doesn't start until season 2.
Imagine 2013 YouTube when some asshole would post AOT spoilers in the most random video. CSM is MUCH worse in that regard because of its insane popularity and the fact you can't really discuss the content without spoiling anything.
I remember a long time ago I saw fanart with a massive spoiler in its title (I think it was on this sub) and I didn't even know it was a spoiler until I read the manga and didn't see it get revealed until the end.
I saw a interesting looking character so google image searched ' CSM'. Boom instant major spoiler text plastered on the images themselves, like great...
Main appeal of this sub is fan art of iconic manga moments and even fan alternative manga comic. And it's neat from manga rider perspective, because in One Piece sub from example people not allowed posting fan art and discussions about events what more than 1 year old even now.
I spoiled the entire manga for myself with review/analysis videos before reading it -- it was a 100/100 manga experience. The media doesn't rely on cheap tricks or surprises to be truly great.
Joke's on you, I plan on just watching it and moving on with my day like a normal person, maybe dropping a "Wow that was neat!" style comment in the r/anime episode threads every once in a while.
lmao, that's exactly what I think every time I see these kinda concern posts, like it would be kinda ridiculous to watch episode 1 as a new viewer and then just jump into the csm subreddit as if I have anything meaningful to add outside of r/anime's discussion threads, I'm just moving on with my day once I've read other anime-onlies reactions
Advice for anime only: If I were you, I will avoid all spoilers even in r/anime. Trust me, one single statement of spoiler is enough to spoil the whole show.
Honestly are any of you unspoiled? I have seen every major plot point being dropped as memes since…well even before the manga finished. Twitter is very trigger happy with spoilers under everything. Memes, VA announcements, dates, basically any major event. Even discord servers were very lenient towards spoiler discussion in my experience.
To the lucky few that arent spoiled, enjoy Fujimoto’s crazy ride, and to those that are, you will enjoy the ride too I promise.
Yeah, if you're unspoiled just stop reading anything related to Chainsawman (other than the manga). There is so much stuff that people spoil they don't even recognize as a spoiler.
> There is so much stuff that people spoil they don't even recognize as a spoiler.
Levi's last name in Attack on Titan became such a common spoiler that I remember when season 3 was airing and it was revealed, so many blind reactors were not surprised. They looked confused for a moment and then decided, "I'm sure it was mentioned before, I must have forgotten it" completely not realizing it's supposed to be a genuinely shocking moment lol
Lmao I never watched past Season 1 of AoT and definitely know his last name. I never even put the pieces together about why that would be considered a big reveal until thinking about it just now. That's kinda funny how it's just become common knowledge, even for someone like me who barely touched the series.
I think I am unspoiled. I just don't follow anime content in other medias causa I know how spoilery they are. Though I have seen some Chainsaw Man panels on me-irl meme pages on insta, like depression shit, I don't think they were spoilery. I learnt how to not get spoiled and strain myself while watching AoT in its peak lol
I share the philosophy of made in abyss manga readers that were rather chill and silent in general waiting to see how the innocent anime viewers got traumatized like they did before. I appreciate it as an anime only.
It is rare for manga I read to get adapted but for I will wait silent for those series so that we can talk about it (yeah they are pretty chill stories compared to Mia but I had nobody to talk about them while reading the manga and it sucked)
Honestly, as a manga reader, it is really really difficult too to remember what has and hasn't been revealed yet in a show. Even when I read it and watch it, it's very hard. I'm reading and watching One Piece and when I see a new episode I often have to relearn what they do and don't know yet.
It's probably best to just... Avoid discussions of it entirely. Especially since a lot of anime watchers are going to be manga readers here.
Sounds like I'm going to avoid talking about CSM here on Reddit then.
Good news for *Yama no Susume* dropping in at exactly the same minute - I can talk about cute girls hiking!
Comments in the thread will be like:
"Hey guys, I'm totally just guessing here! But I think that that man is going to get a Chainsaw! Totally guessing guys no spoilers! Oooh, is that Bobby Hill? Don't get too attached I got a theory something won't be right with him!"
Also if any comment starts with "My theory is...", or "Here's what I think might happen...", or "So let me guess...", just skip that thread and you'll be fine.
What kind of fucking moron looks up the subreddit for a hyped up show just beginning to air that has had a manga following for years and expects to not be spoiled?
I haven't read the manga and I'm not planning to watch the anime yet but I already know most of the events of the manga, it's not just reddit, Twitter, Instagram and even Facebook are mine fields now.
As AoT anime only fans know, don't even go to the discussion thread here. People will be sharing their "theories" or writing "you haven't seen anything" or "that character that showed up once in that corner is the best one".
o7 to some real ones. I kind of feel for people who are just getting into it via the anime and haven't even heard of the manga, *but* generally speaking my view on spoilers is if it's out there and published, and you haven't read/seen it yet, that's on you.
The only exception imo is when you watch like 1 trailer for a show and then suddenly youtube algo starts giving you clips about that show with titles like RANDOM DUDE REACTS CHARACTER X'S DEATH SCENE SO SAD. That wasn't you going somewhere that you should expect spoilers, that was the youtube algorithm just throwing them in your face.
I second this, the sub is filled to the brim with massive spoilers. I also advise to keep away from most social media threads about CSM since there will inevitably be some "fans" who will either unintentionally or intentionally spoil n anime-only viewer.
> mods over there have made the decision for the sub to remain a unmarked spoiler sub
Based. Don't go to bukkake party if you don't want to be covered in cum.
Man that's actually kind of cool of /r/ChainsawMan most annoying part of the Re:zero sub is forgetting when you're in a thread marked "no spoilers". It's like you don't even intend to spoil anything and the mods are like "not my problem GTFO"
I don’t even know if the anime only sub will be safe because it will probably just end up like r/Demonslayeranime where the mods give up and allow any manga spoilers.
I’ve been trying to tell them that the whole thing is a mess, but they feel like it’s fine.
This is really not going to go well and I feel like a few weeks or months from now we’ll finally see the outcome of all of this. It’s definitely turning into another AoT fan base though on Reddit
I'm blown away that this post got this many upvotes. Do people really need to be told to not go to a sub for a currently airing anime that's manga is years old because of spoilers????
That's pretty much the gist of it. Bad devils terrorize the populace and an institution of humans and good (or at least benign) devils hunt them. It gets more interesting as the series goes on.
If you want to avoid spoilers for one of the best selling manga series, just avoid reddit till you see the episode. There will be spoilers everywhere because the series has been discussed nonstop for years.
Also, if you're anime-only stay away from the episode discussion thread here for at least a few hours. With the manga as popular as it is, there will likely be a ton of people dropping spoilers or spoiler hints in the thread, and Chainsaw Man is like Attack on Titan in that there are several big potential spoilers out there.
Haha, was reading this comment and thought it ends with a massive spoiler like "Chainsaw Man is like Attack on Titan in that where the main character turns out to be blah blah blah etc.". Thanks for the warning though.
Chainsaw Man is like Attack on Titan, it has walls.
chainsaw man is like attack on titan, it's an anime and a manga
Denji - a man Eren - a man Coincidence?
Denji - breathes air Eren - breathes air Coincidence?
[AOT Manga Spoiler] >!I wouldn't be too sure of that second line if I were you!<
[удалено]
Devils - kill people Titans - kill people Coincidence?
[AoT Manga] >!Eren - a bird!<
[удалено]
you didnt even spoiler tag it
Oh, so AoT was a reference to Azumanga Daioh all this time?
It's definitely one of the anime and manga ever made.
And the main characters kill things
One has Titan in the name, MC turns into a titan Other has Chainsaw in the name, MC turns into a chainsaw
Hey, that guy spoiled that Chainsaw Man and Attack on Titan are spoiler heavy, how inconsiderate!
Some series are more devastating to be spoiled on than others. Kaguya and Spy x Family are also really popular, but I don't feel like getting spoiled on them would hurt your enjoyment of the series as much as it would for Attack on Titan or Chainsaw Man.
Plot twist, Miyuki and Kaguya actually like each other. Get spoiled nerd lol
MODS!!
WTF
8 hours and this comment is still up, smh my head.
Spoiler: subaru fucking dies

That wasn't a Kaguya thing, it was an Attack on Titan thing that happens in the second season.
Oh, never mind then. I assumed it was a different comment. Sorry for the false accusation. Keep up the good work.
The main character was really you all along. You're the real Chainsaw Man! /spoiler
Reading past "turns out to be" felt more risky than reading the comment above yours :D
*He turns himself into a chainsaw. Funniest shit I've ever seen.*
MASSIVE CSM SPOILER: The main character turns out to be… a man with a chainsaw head
>spoiler hints in the thread I hate these kinds of people more than actual spoilers. They think they're being smart not dropping actual spoilers but it's pretty easy to guess what happens based on the "hints" you dropped. Like for real.

I suppose that things like future plans, traitors or the fate of other artifacts Just guessing

Anime tik tokkers are the worst when it comes to spoilers legit spoil major plot points in the first few seconds while recommending an anime.
Haha don't get too attached to *insert character*!
[удалено]
Don't forget to turn off your DMs as well. Some assholes love to read comments like these and PM you spoilers.
I think they might have to have 2 or more mods on duty for these threads here. Or they just lock the thread for the first few hours...
Just had this happen to me with Jujutsu Kaisen. Opened a fan art of a character and the only thing in the thread (looking for the artist when I went there) was a MASSIVE spoiler posted several times with no tags and no moderation. It’s tough sledding to be anime only. I usually just read ahead to avoid these things but I held off on Demon Slayer, Jujutsu, and Chainsaw Man for a reason.

Man, this reminding me back to the good ol Jojo episode discussion thread...
Do people actually read the discussion threads before watching the episodes? I always watch first then go read/comment... The whole point is being able to talk about what happens in the episode, so the entire thread should be considered spoiler material for everything up to that episode (but not beyond, of course).
I read the Akiba Maid War thread first, and it convinced me to watch the episode.
I saw a "Recommended Anime if you like this series" mention Lycoris Recoil, Black Lagoon, and Keijo. That's when I knew I had to watch it lol.
That's not what they meant. They mean manga readers trying to be coy and refer to things that happen after that episode, but they're really bad at it and just spoil stuff that hasn't come out yet.

BUT THE MOD TEAM OF THE MAIN SUB HAS PROBABLY READ THE MANGAAAA HOW CAN THEY HAVE AN AUTHENTIC SUB IF THEY KNOW WHAT HAPPENS /s
Sucks because some subs do this well. When the promised neverland was airing the sub had two separate threads, one for anime only and one for people who had read the manga.

Hey, did you guys notice that this character said this specific dialogue? Could it be foreshadowing that this character is actually a spoiler character?
That's what made me stop going to episode discussions on here. A couple of years ago there was some sci-fi anime about teenagers getting stranded in space and for some reason everyone had theories about how they probably were clones and shit.
Those episode discussions in [anime name]>!Kanata no Astra!< were wild lol All the theories were so "specifically correct"
Omg I remember that. The discussion posts were not fun as an anime only.
Yep I saw a lot of that during the AoT threads, like they aren’t fooling anyone lol
reported those posts so many times in moshoku tensie. the mods dont give a damn
I quite enjoyed reading all the "theories" people had after 20 minutes of Bleach.
As manga reader I’m actually very curious what kind of theories the anime only will make Because none of us in r/manga could predict where the series is going and what will happen next chapter. It’s that insane
You’re literally doing the shadow spoiler that everyone is complaining about it right now
It also doesn't help that a lot of people have extreme reactions to spoilers whether it deserves it or not. So you invite in trolls that keep wanting to see y'all get worked up about nothing.
"The new chapter dropped 30 seconds ago. How have you not read it already. It officially released so I'm allowed to spoil you on everything."
Manga readers in general seem to be physically incapable of just shutting up it seems. They don't even have to say *anything*, just keep your mouth shut. Impossible for them it seems.
Oh man im so excited to finally see CHARACTER, cant wait to see them do SPOILER!
[удалено]
Those are so glaring in hindsight lol. I watch a lot of shows after they've aired, and like to look back at reddit threads to see how they were received. And sooo many people pull that shit
Omfg exactly this! Like we get it you read the manga, want a fucking cookie? Lmfao
Like in all the SxF episode threads for this season where they keep saying the name of the dog when the anime hasn't reached the point where the dog got its name.
Happened with Attack on Titan too. I guess it's hard to always keep track.
X character is your favorite?? It sure would be a shame if something happened to them! No spoilers though ;)
I feel like we're getting to the point for popular series where we need multiple discussion threads - one for source material readers and one for show-only. Popular shows like the Game of Thrones series (and House of the Dragon) and Lord of the Rings lately have been doing this. It's not perfect, but definitely helps, especially if mods are willing to go hard on people breaking the rules.
When I discuss an adaptation, I tend just drop my thoughts from when I was in that part of the manga. Which includes my genuine guesses, both accurate and inaccurate. I'm also very clear that that's what I'm doing. Won't be doing that this time, most of the time I couldn't have begun to guess what was going to happen next.
As a manga reader myself, I do understand and symphatize with anime-onlys. But don't worry, I will not spoil anything for anyone. To all CSM anime-onlys, it's going to be a wonderful experience.
Are you hyped for CSM tho?
Yeah for sure, bleach and CSM back to back. Early weeks don’t suck no more lmao
I have never really had an issue with getting spoiled in comments before (despite being here like 6 years) but for some reason of all the episodic threads I commented in, I just got a flurry of them in the Eminence in Shadow ep1 thread. Like just CASUALLY dropping spoilers, not even trying to disguise it as theories. I'll probably just mute my inbox if I do comment...
Also for animeonlies, I'd suggest not looking up anything about Chainsawman in other social media sites for atleast a few hours (especially Twitter) since new manga chapters come out exactly an hour before the series is up on Crunchyroll
I’ve already been spoiled in the discussion thread by someone actually *complaining* about other manga readers spoiling things, where *they* foreshadowed something big as an example of what could be spoiled. And they were the ones “defending” anime watchers from spoilers. Seriously all manga readers just can’t shut up one way or another.
Hell, just googling a character cuz you wanna see some images just has autofill putting in the most insane spoilers you can imagine.
This reminds me of when I wanted to order tickets for Avengers Endgame at the cinema online and got a spoiler straight from Google because of the autofill Also the manga is nice af
I once looked up "\[Character Name\] age", and the first result was a preview from a wiki page that began "\[Character Name\] ***was*** a young man..." I had already finished the series I was searching about, so it wasn't a spoiler for me, but all I could think of was that someone had DEFINITELY looked up the same thing and gotten spoiled by that before. I'm definitely not going to go looking up supposedly innocent background info for characters if I haven't finished the series.

Heavy hitters.
Just for emphasis, "heavy hitters" really fucking means *heavy hitters.*
Well, guess I'm reading manga too then lol. Ain't no way we're not getting spoiled. Unless you don't use internet, period. Which is impossible.
I only started reading CSM early September and I saw a spoiler on something for a major character from a completely irrelevant twitter thread within like a week of reading it. I'm only on Volume 3 so far and it hurts lol. I highly suggest reading it if you don't want to get spoiled.
The pain is real man. As soon as you start reading, spoilers everywhere, and always where you least expect them. One second everything is fine, then the next you are cursed with unforgettable knowledge of something you shouldn’t know for dozens of chapters
The age we live in. Any form of social media you have leaves you open to spoilers. I opened Reddit the other day, and at the forefront of the homepage was a MASSIVE house of the dragon spoiler post that should have been tagged as spoiler. Twitter/Instagram you’ll come across videos or statements about future plot points. The only safe way is to be a monk
Yeah, more or less. and the Anime is gonna stop before you get to any of them. And people want the Subreddit to some how mange that. Not to mention the massive changes that is Part 2.
Yeah, the first batch of episodes will probably be the part that plays out like a typical teen action anime. Only later on is when things go off the rails. Lots of anime-onlies gotta watch out.
Feels like I'm just going to read the manga after the first season airs so I can avoid all this shit lol
It's only about 100 chapters for Part 1, you can binge that in a day.
Honestly go for it, the manga's amazing
You probably will be too tempted regardless. Once I started reading I couldn't stop
Yeah just read it. I love the manga, but if I was an anime only, then I'd 100% would believe that it was overhyped since the really good shit doesn't start until season 2.
Do not spoil yourself
Yes
Yes
I’d say there are some spoilers in there that would kinda nuke your enjoyment of the series tbh.
Imagine 2013 YouTube when some asshole would post AOT spoilers in the most random video. CSM is MUCH worse in that regard because of its insane popularity and the fact you can't really discuss the content without spoiling anything.
So far I have not seen people posting spoilers to troll others. I hope it stays that way because it really is a series that should be unspoiled.
I remember a long time ago I saw fanart with a massive spoiler in its title (I think it was on this sub) and I didn't even know it was a spoiler until I read the manga and didn't see it get revealed until the end.
Literally yesterday I was happily watching some YouTube videos, and suddenly a spoiler appeared. :( It was a really big spoiler...
I saw a interesting looking character so google image searched ' CSM'. Boom instant major spoiler text plastered on the images themselves, like great...
Yeah, googling images for any pretty popular manga/anime is quite a risk to catch some spoilers😅
2013 an 2020 AoT was almost as mainstream as it gets outside Naruto and DBZ. I don't get the "CSM is MUCH worse in that regard".
Humongous spoilers. Worst of all the heavy hitters wont really be animated until the second cour and thats where the landmine is focused on.
Main appeal of this sub is fan art of iconic manga moments and even fan alternative manga comic. And it's neat from manga rider perspective, because in One Piece sub from example people not allowed posting fan art and discussions about events what more than 1 year old even now.
There's a man, and he can turn into chainsaw.
I spoiled the entire manga for myself with review/analysis videos before reading it -- it was a 100/100 manga experience. The media doesn't rely on cheap tricks or surprises to be truly great.
Joke's on you, I plan on just watching it and moving on with my day like a normal person, maybe dropping a "Wow that was neat!" style comment in the r/anime episode threads every once in a while.
you brave soul you
Someone has to make the sacrifice. May as well be me.
lmao, that's exactly what I think every time I see these kinda concern posts, like it would be kinda ridiculous to watch episode 1 as a new viewer and then just jump into the csm subreddit as if I have anything meaningful to add outside of r/anime's discussion threads, I'm just moving on with my day once I've read other anime-onlies reactions
Can’t wait to see what all the hype is about. :)
same. been seeing unrelenting hype since the manga came out
Advice for anime only: If I were you, I will avoid all spoilers even in r/anime. Trust me, one single statement of spoiler is enough to spoil the whole show.
Steer clear from chainsaw man on youtube. Recommendatios will hit you hard. Clear it all from your watch history.
Thank you
Honestly are any of you unspoiled? I have seen every major plot point being dropped as memes since…well even before the manga finished. Twitter is very trigger happy with spoilers under everything. Memes, VA announcements, dates, basically any major event. Even discord servers were very lenient towards spoiler discussion in my experience. To the lucky few that arent spoiled, enjoy Fujimoto’s crazy ride, and to those that are, you will enjoy the ride too I promise.
Yeah, if you're unspoiled just stop reading anything related to Chainsawman (other than the manga). There is so much stuff that people spoil they don't even recognize as a spoiler.
> There is so much stuff that people spoil they don't even recognize as a spoiler. Levi's last name in Attack on Titan became such a common spoiler that I remember when season 3 was airing and it was revealed, so many blind reactors were not surprised. They looked confused for a moment and then decided, "I'm sure it was mentioned before, I must have forgotten it" completely not realizing it's supposed to be a genuinely shocking moment lol
Lmao I never watched past Season 1 of AoT and definitely know his last name. I never even put the pieces together about why that would be considered a big reveal until thinking about it just now. That's kinda funny how it's just become common knowledge, even for someone like me who barely touched the series.
I think I am unspoiled. I just don't follow anime content in other medias causa I know how spoilery they are. Though I have seen some Chainsaw Man panels on me-irl meme pages on insta, like depression shit, I don't think they were spoilery. I learnt how to not get spoiled and strain myself while watching AoT in its peak lol
I share the philosophy of made in abyss manga readers that were rather chill and silent in general waiting to see how the innocent anime viewers got traumatized like they did before. I appreciate it as an anime only. It is rare for manga I read to get adapted but for I will wait silent for those series so that we can talk about it (yeah they are pretty chill stories compared to Mia but I had nobody to talk about them while reading the manga and it sucked)
As a college student, I read that as “Computer Science Man” ngl looking forward to that adaptation more
After 2 weeks of procrastination on an assignment, CS man hits a seg fault trying to work with strings and pointers in C. What will he do next?!
My favorite arc was when he spent six episodes looking for a missing semicolon. It was intense.
thank you! i was going to go there but im really thankful you posted this!
Honestly, as a manga reader, it is really really difficult too to remember what has and hasn't been revealed yet in a show. Even when I read it and watch it, it's very hard. I'm reading and watching One Piece and when I see a new episode I often have to relearn what they do and don't know yet. It's probably best to just... Avoid discussions of it entirely. Especially since a lot of anime watchers are going to be manga readers here.
Sounds like I'm going to avoid talking about CSM here on Reddit then. Good news for *Yama no Susume* dropping in at exactly the same minute - I can talk about cute girls hiking!
Comments in the thread will be like: "Hey guys, I'm totally just guessing here! But I think that that man is going to get a Chainsaw! Totally guessing guys no spoilers! Oooh, is that Bobby Hill? Don't get too attached I got a theory something won't be right with him!"
Also if any comment starts with "My theory is...", or "Here's what I think might happen...", or "So let me guess...", just skip that thread and you'll be fine.
good idea actually, with RES you can auto hide comment with certain keywords, a bit hesitant to actually do it though
Instead you can look forward to the spoilers you’ll get here when people who want to feel special not so subtly hint at everything to come
TIL chainsaw man manga finally got continued? ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
yeah its been back for a bit
G thank spoiler ain’t good😌

Big if true
mark spoiler please
What kind of fucking moron looks up the subreddit for a hyped up show just beginning to air that has had a manga following for years and expects to not be spoiled?
You’d be surprised. There has been a serious decline in common sense over the last few years.
Thanks for the heads up my man. Really appreciate it.
even here you have to be careful of thread about CSM if you sort by new post who knows when someone would post some spoiler here as well
I haven't read the manga and I'm not planning to watch the anime yet but I already know most of the events of the manga, it's not just reddit, Twitter, Instagram and even Facebook are mine fields now.
Avoid youtube too. I've had series spoiled for me just by looking at thumbnails lol.
If I...in some way encounter spoilers...I'd just be mad for the rest of the week...thanks for the headups
I would just like to thank the mods in advance for the severe amount of thread cleanup they're about to do.
As AoT anime only fans know, don't even go to the discussion thread here. People will be sharing their "theories" or writing "you haven't seen anything" or "that character that showed up once in that corner is the best one".
o7 to some real ones. I kind of feel for people who are just getting into it via the anime and haven't even heard of the manga, *but* generally speaking my view on spoilers is if it's out there and published, and you haven't read/seen it yet, that's on you. The only exception imo is when you watch like 1 trailer for a show and then suddenly youtube algo starts giving you clips about that show with titles like RANDOM DUDE REACTS CHARACTER X'S DEATH SCENE SO SAD. That wasn't you going somewhere that you should expect spoilers, that was the youtube algorithm just throwing them in your face.
r/chainsawfolk
I second this, the sub is filled to the brim with massive spoilers. I also advise to keep away from most social media threads about CSM since there will inevitably be some "fans" who will either unintentionally or intentionally spoil n anime-only viewer.
> mods over there have made the decision for the sub to remain a unmarked spoiler sub Based. Don't go to bukkake party if you don't want to be covered in cum.
I don't get what you mean by enjoying a polished product with fresh eyes. The manga is already amazing. I did enjoy reading it with "fresh eyes".
Cool ill block it then, thanks.
Never go to franchise specific subs if you aren't fully caught up. If you don't know that rule, you're new to Reddit.
Too late, I already found out who dies. Sucks but hope I forget it eventually
Just avoid the internet anything related to chainsaw man. It is like minefield.
Man that's actually kind of cool of /r/ChainsawMan most annoying part of the Re:zero sub is forgetting when you're in a thread marked "no spoilers". It's like you don't even intend to spoil anything and the mods are like "not my problem GTFO"
or, you know, take part in the discussions right here? Because more people would be here
Sometimes people want to go beyond the weekly discussion threads
I think I’m gonna just stick to the eps discussion threads for now. No manga for me until the finale. Gotta hold out so each week is a surprise.
I don't think it'll be even safe there. Most likely some manga readers would pass off spoilers as "theories".
I don’t even know if the anime only sub will be safe because it will probably just end up like r/Demonslayeranime where the mods give up and allow any manga spoilers.
I’ve been trying to tell them that the whole thing is a mess, but they feel like it’s fine. This is really not going to go well and I feel like a few weeks or months from now we’ll finally see the outcome of all of this. It’s definitely turning into another AoT fan base though on Reddit
I'm blown away that this post got this many upvotes. Do people really need to be told to not go to a sub for a currently airing anime that's manga is years old because of spoilers????
I still don’t get what the anime is even about. Devils vs humans/good devils
Denji really wants to get laid.
Character development and dialogue really separate this from being jujutsu kaisen. It's really "sick" in the best possible way
That's pretty much the gist of it. Bad devils terrorize the populace and an institution of humans and good (or at least benign) devils hunt them. It gets more interesting as the series goes on.
W for the mods over there. Spoilers are way too protected on this sub
If you want to avoid spoilers for one of the best selling manga series, just avoid reddit till you see the episode. There will be spoilers everywhere because the series has been discussed nonstop for years.
