It never ruins it but sometimes it's nice to find things out by watching it.

This is how I feel as well, but I still think it's silly to throw your hands up and give up on a show you presumably enjoy just because you found out the ending.

If a show is ruined by knowing the ending twist, it's probably not a very good show to begin with.
i liked yu yu yuuuuuu okay but it takes like 7 episodes to get to its actual plot, gives the characters very little development in spite of that, and pretty much makes the whole show completely pointless at the end.

looking forward to season 2

There are some spoilers where it's obnoxious of you to say but it won't kill the show or anything, and then there's telling people the ending that completely destroys the show because it is reliant on you not knowing. In YYY knowing this in advance completely devalues most of the scenes in the second half of the show. Spoiling somethign like that is called being an rear end. It's like telling people who the killer was in a mystery.

i think endorph was just venting her frustrations with the ending (which seem understandable) in response to YYY being brought up. it wasn't a malicious post and i'm sure we can all live with knowing the ending

Is it good? i only know it from that "worst dub in anime" video

It is really awesome and cool, and the second episode is about the team hacker fighting a killer robot.

If a show relies completely on you not knowing something to give its scenes weight, then the drama has no impact because you already know what's going to happen. Foregone conclusions damage a show. Exactly how much they damage a show varies, and just because it doesn't matter much for some shows doesn't mean you should be an rear end in a top hat and ruin shows where it does matter.

I reserve the right to be upset over somebody ruining somebody's experience of a show I like because they don't think that spoilers matter.

also it seems like the YYY release was at least nice...though still overpriced. haven't heard anything about the Rokka release that would justify/mitigate the PonyCan price

I think Aniplex is the only company that can succeed with those high prices because they're really good at doing market research to identify which shows have a really hardcore fanbase that will happily pay a lot.

Tho personally as long as there's still a streaming option available I don't mind that there's only the low-end and high-end options. Does suck for the type of consumer that just wants a physical copy and no extra goodies though.

The argument against spoilers is that the journey is more important than the destination.

In this case the spoiler ruins the journey. So congratulations.

Ok I'm done.

I think that that kind of inflexible consumer-unfriendly pricing is the worst thing and just because you're doing it because you know people are crazy enough to pay your prices to compensate for the sane people you lose doesn't mean you should do it. I think that paying absurd prices for something is less showing how dedicated you are and more showing a lack of self control because you're being ripped off.

I watched Space Dandy with a sub for the first time yesterday, it's cool that the dub and sub are pretty much exactly on-par with each other, right down to both having amazing voices for Dandy.
