speaking about spoilers, how many of you care about spoilers?
a few friends that watch anime and I all don't care about spoilers (except 1 guy). found this interesting since my experience on the internet leads me to believe that an overwhelming majority care about spoilers.
not sure if we're just weird.
I care a fair bit about spoilers. It's difficult for me to re-watch things because I know how it ends and I lose interest in the plot. Most of the time, a work is not intended to be viewed knowing the ending, although some works can still be appreciated having already seen it. That said, you can't know until you watch it, and thus, I like to go in completely ignorant. Even reading or watching a review can be too much.

My memory can (and has already done it) decide to store a spoiler I'd have heard in part from a random conversation across the room for several years till I get the opportunity to read/watch the stuff myself. So I'd rather avoid them.

spoilers dont affect me in any way, shape or form

Sex workers are often really nice people that get an unduely bad rep. Once when I was lost looking for my hotel in Tokyo (which I accidentally booked in a red light district (hotels.com doesn't tell you this sort of thing)), I got some help with directions from some sex industry workers. They were part of a migrant worker program that imports black men from Trinadad, with the intention of hiring them to advertise for places that accept/cater to foreigners, because of a stereotype that "americans trust black people". They were super nice and helpful and not pushy at all, and totally open to talking about Trinidad/Canada/Japan and the differences in racialized oppression etc (yes I do this everywhere I travel to) since they were having a slow night. Yeah I wanted to talk to them more but as Malaysia is a Muslim country I'm sure I could get beheaded or something. If it were in Thailand I totally would have sat there and had a chat with them. Well, Malaysia isn't a very homogenous country, so it varies significantly by area, but I assume you know this and were just generalizing for people who don't know much about Malaysia. From my understanding of violence against sex workers in Malaysia, you talking with them publicly for an extended period of time would be more dangerous to them than to you, for what that's worth.
Malaysia is very multicultural in terms of ethnicity and languages and local cultures, but they are officially a Muslim country, with laws leaning towards that of a Muslim country. The biggest difference I've seen between Malaysia and Singapore, besides Singapore being a lot wealthier, has been that Malaysia seems to be a lot more conservative and a lot less tolerant.
I mean, nobody is going to get beheaded that's a joke. But I'm positive having a long talk wouldnt have been safe for either of us.

Urusai? Don't intend to play with Japanese VOs and prefer dubs in anime anyway, so I don't care. You have an extremely minor opinion - likely more minor than GMD's win rate debacle. Don't care. I'd rather spend less time reading when I'm watching something. Uh oh. You are going to get smitten by the tyranny of majority. Jokes aside, English dubs have a lot of problems. The voice acting itself has consistently been bad due to few voice actors and fewer talent. This does not even remotely factor in issues with localizations. Smote. Smitten is something different entirely. Localizations don't matter to me because I don't read manga.
http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/smite
Definition of smite in English:
verb (past smote /sməʊt/; past participle smitten /ˈsmɪt(ə)n/)
"get", in this case, is a substitute for "be" for the passive-voice construction. Following "get" I need the past participle. For example,
She got bitten by her cat.
It's equivalent to saying:
She was bitten by her cat.

Not sure how I spoiled you, but Psycho Pass is worth rewatching.
You can try the three I listed a few pages back.

Being able to understand the audio is always going to be a better experience then reading subtitles.

Obviously the very best experience is understanding the Japanese. In all respects, this is the best option...
..It is the closest one can get to truly experiencing the work as the director intended it without actually learning Japanese.
I disagree with both of these sentiments, although the case where "best" is defined as "most accurate to original intentions" is internally consistent and legit. Ignoring cases where "it's so bad it's good" or where the new interpretation is better than the original presentation, there's certainly upsides to either not understanding the audio or not experiencing it at all, and of course silent mediums have their benefits (many of which are inapplicable to silenced media, but many of which still apply).

6ah is now a bigger bro, he actually added me on FF14.

No, sorry if it came across that away. It wasn't you, a friend spoiled it for me.
Has anyone here read Worm by the away? Probably my favorite piece of anything ever.

Anyone here read light novels (basically shonen without pictures but with blood, gore and sex)? I been getting into it anime suck balls, manga updates slowly and I need some shitty reading in my life.

Fucking haze followed me to Georgetown.
Indonesia can suck TWO dicks.

I saw the first episode, but I got spoiled as: So basically there's this guy named Makishima and he kills the girl's best friend and is an all around asshat. Even though he's evil, the guns won't work on him. Also Shinya is a badass.

Worm is like a light novel, but it's American and not shitty at-all 
Actually answering your question, yeah I read "A Certain Magical Index" series and I also read "Rokka no Yuusha/

Oh really? So I guess I'll start watching it, lol. Yeah I noticed that a lot of people considered Psycho Pass to be a really great show so I'm looking forward to seeing it.

This is how much of a nerd I am.
I'm walking around town and I see a statue of some Christian like character with the word "temperence" under it.
And my first reaction is to go "woo no more status effects!" Grab my phone and start playing ogre battle music.
