It was the early 2000's and the production crew could have just assumed "well of course all the kids reading the manga know that Robin joins the crew!" so they didn't consider anime-only fans.  I think that's the only time they did that. Even in Wano, they kept Jinbe out of the OP until he officially joined, then they started using a slight variation of the same OP and he's in there now.

Did 4Kids give Robin a Texan or a Russian accent? I could see them going either way

IMO spoilers are super contextual. Obviously you have things like the Sixth Sense where the surprise twist is effectively the entire point, on the other end of the spectrum you have something like a super hero movie where "the good guy beats the bad guy" is less a spoiler than an obvious expectation. I posit that the weekly spoilers that get posted are a lot different being for a short form weekly serialized series than they would be for a book/movie series that has a new entry release every 2-3 years instead of 40 times a year. You're already caught up in that context of weekly cliffhangers and everything that is going on, you're not finding out some out of context "Snape Kills Dumbledore" type thing while in line to read a 600 page book building up to that twist. When Ace was punched through the heart in one chapter and then the next chapter confirmed he died (even going so far as being title "The Death of Portgas D. Ace") even if you read about the punch three days sooner than you saw it, you were already immersed in the mindset of the war and the danger of Admirals being on the battlefield, you weren't instead reading about how Ace died right when Luffy escaped Impel Down completely taking the wind out of the sails of the rescue attempt*. I generally don't get angry over spoilers, I try to avoid them for certain things I care about and seek them out in other circumstances. I am hot and cold when it comes to OP, for awhile I avoided them but I've slipped as things have built up because again I honestly don't have the feeling that I "ruined" something by reading about e.g. seraphim showing up rather than seeing it in a cool spread (plus it helps gauge how close to a chapter release we are and if there is a break). I do think it can get a tad obnoxious how this thread can sometimes veer from being just anti-spoiler to openly disgusted by and hostile toward people who dare to read spoilers, especially because pre-scan spoilers have already been banned so like, you've already won that battle. *and yeah stuff like an intro spoiling that an arc enemy joins the crew is the exact type of spoiler that is understandably annoying for most people

Worrying about spoilers is a first world problem and shows your privilege maybe better than any other indicator.

Eiba posted:I hate spoilers because it means when I see a thing I end up thinking "oh, that's what they were talking about," and thinking about where I learned the spoilers, rather than being fully immersed in the media. Oh yeah I totally agree with you, and I try to avoid spoiling anything to friends whatsoever because it can ruin their fun. I just meant for myself that the slogan gave me some relief because I realized that a lot of times I agree with the sentiment.

I mean, the literally spoiled that Kaido was a dragon on the very first episode of the Wano arc in the anime. The OP Anime will update OPs as the arcs go on, but they still have a ton of spoilers in them.

Silver2195 posted:I'm a bit baffled that there are actually people who are still fans of the One Piece anime at all, lol. From the clips I've seen on Youtube of the recent episodes, they've really been stepping up the animation quality for the Wano Arc, so I can see people who fell off it hopping back on just to watch the hype moments. Pacing is definitely still off (there'll be a couple of minutes of shocked onlookers going 'WHAAAAA-?!' every time in response to what was a quick one-panel gag in the manga), but there's no denying it's very pretty to look at, in an over-the-top sort of way.

Dragging things out so much actually benefited the Queen fight, where there's this absurd amount of build-up to his ultimate attack and then "BRACHIOSAURHISS" hits you like a sledgehammer.

mdct posted:There's also the well-studied effect that spoilers don't actually affect people's enjoyment of things, in practice. They think it does, but mostly they just get upset at the spoilers and then enjoy the product just fine. Arist posted:this is a misinterpretation of that study fwiw, they were testing with media the subjects didn't have any prior exposure to which obviously you're going to care less about spoilers for To add to this, it's not even a well-studied effect. A very similar study was conducted in 2015 by a different university, and the results were completely the opposite of the original. Personally, I'm indifferent to spoilers (especially out-of-context summaries or promos) until I get emotionally invested in a story... but once I reach that point spoilers can certainly detract from my enjoyment. I don't need a flawed and unreliable study to know that.

It's a courtesy that takes literal seconds to accomodate. Big part of it is that OP spoilers come out over a series of days, so if we did discuss them when they broke you'd be getting the cliff note, sometimes wrong, summary a day or two before any actual pages came out. I personally don't mind sitting on the info til the bad scans come out. "What if Luffy were 9/10 legs"

I never write ITT but I also don't have the urge to discuss incomplete reddit spoilers. I am usually content in reading the scans reading the thread opinions on it. On another note: I just got through dressrosa on my reread and it was really good.

I should write an extension or something that removes the spoilers, specifically for this thread, so it's easier for me to read. Are there actually people that scroll past 2 pages of pure spoiler bars and say to themselves "ah, all caught up on OP discussion"? I'm not going to say there's a wrong way to read manga, it just seems a little odd to me. Whatever floats your goat though!

The posting of text spoilers without associated context or imagery sucks. It's a bad way to experience this story and I legitimately don't understand making it the first way you experience a chapter.

Upsidads posted:I only read the official releases which means this thread is 90% scrolling past hidden spoilers. We have people who want to talk about early spoilers and rumours the moment they leak. Then at the other end of the spectrum we have people like yourself who want to wait for the official release (which I respect). Honestly I feel like the current policy is the best compromise we can reach. Yeah it definitely sucks that 90% of the conversation happens before you read the chapter but at least it's behind spoiler tags and you're not completely excluded from non-spoilery discussions which happen in the meantime.

i personally still don't agree with the ban on discussing spoilers so long as they're behind tags. feels like its "i dont want to discuss that material and other people that want to shouldn't be allowed to". the argument that it takes up space in the thread has always felt hollow because it's not taking up space for those people that want to discuss them, and if you want to talk about something else, there's nothing stopping you from doing that.

I'll sometimes read the text only spoilers, but it's deffo not worth talking about here (besides whether it's break next week or not). It's more to satiate my curiosity and know what to expect. Ideally we'd talk at tcb, but at least we are all weeaboomers and understand the fast scans are imperfect translations that have to be taken with a heavy grain of salt in some details. If TCB stopped doing what they do for whatever reason, I'd just wait until Sunday.
