im very very worried about how i see this movie man, if i choose to wait until a good sub or even dub comes out i will have to keep off this site and not search for anything eva related on tumblr for a long time, and ill miss a lot of early fun reactions right when everyone is having it.
i want to think that i will be ok spoiling the film for myself, after all i did go in to the dark knight (2008) with full spoilers and its my favorite movie of all time.
but im just not sure, while i saw a few spoilery trailers and multiple mentions of a apocaliptic ending, before hand, i saw all of eva for the first time relatively spoiler free :/
i kinda want that to happen with final.

did those of you who spoiled 3.0 for yourselves before seeing it regret doing so after wards?
and what do you intend to do with final? wait it out or spoil yourselves before seeing it?

WILL I SPOIL MYSELF? YES! WHY IS THE TITLE WRITTEN LIKE THIS?

Anyway, I spoiled myself when 3.0 came out and that didn´t make me enjoy the movie any less so I´ll do the same thing for Final. It´s really fun to see the reactions people have to spoilers as well.

For people like me who are obsessed with evangelion and watch dubs its even harder. Hell i have yet to see 3.33 yet bc im still waiting on the dub.So hopefully i won't spoil it. But with people on this board im pretty sure someone will accidentally let it slip. Not really worried about it though. To me there's a difference form when i hear about the ending and see the ending. I just hope it isn't a giant troll.

Just like with the previous movies, I'm going to be one of the few staff members who won't be running for the hills because spoilers, and will be moderating the containment zone (and everywhere else, in case of leaks in the forms of names, pictures, avatars, jokes,...) so "HELL, YES!"

Though it's still "before I see it" for Ha, let alone Q...

Absolutely not. I will live in a cave if I have to but I will save myself for a proper, virginal viewing experience at the very least on BD, at the very best in a theatre in Japan on opening day. Anything less is just ruining it for yourself.

I'm sure the spoiler policy (in some form) will back in effect, but if you really want to be sure to avoid spoilers really the best thing you can do is just avoiding the forums for any other anime-related sites for a while. No system is perfect.

It will be.

Just to familiarize people with how it looks, this is the version for Q.

I have no problem with so-called spoilers - they spoil nothing for me.

I wanted to stay spoiler-free for 2.0 and 3.0 but the temptation was too good that I couldn't (1.0 was more or less the same story of Episodes 1-6 with some new things so I didn't consider myself spoiled).

For Final, I'd love to stay spoiler-free not for a BD-rip, but to see it in theaters (subbed). In Japan would be awesome but doubtful, Funimation U.S. screening more likely. Especially since the local theaters that screened 3.0 said they'd try to get more advance notice for dubbed/subbed screenings from here on out.

Long wait but hopefully worth it.

Might as well stay away from the internet completely because I got almost spoiled for Q on a board that's not even anime related at all. Evageeks in comparison was heaven as I could be sure not to read what I don't want to read thanks to the policy. Too bad Q turned out to be a massive disappointment, so I'm not sure if I will go through the same ordeal in avoiding spoilers again.

I waited for proper fansubs of the first three films, why not for Final?

My spoiler-phobia will be back in full force by the time Final comes out.

I will spoil the hell out of myself because I cannot handle the anticipation. But I'll at least try to wait a few days so as not to be conned by the conflicting or outright troll spoilers that have popped up from 2.0 and 3.0 :tongue:

Shinji is alone at the end

*Ahem*

I have not decided if I'll brave the first few days of release threads as I had for Q. in Nov. 2012. I have to say it depends on who is around on the forum at the time, because really what made those threads great to read were the people who were posting in them / discussing them on IRC. A fair few of those people aren't around anymore, so for FINAL I may just wait until the dust settles before looking into it.

I'm going to look at the spoilers just to see how close my theories are to the truth, then I'm rubbing them in face of everybody [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1UWPagjNaA[/url]

Not sure if serious or not. :huh:

As for me, I'm sure I'm gonna be spoiled here on Evageeks. Hell, I WANT to be spoiled, so I can get it over with and stop worrying.

I'm going in blind, and preparing myself mentality weeks before to experience the biggest cinematic heartbreak since the original EOE.

and after that a long sabbatical from all things Evangelion. . .

I'll try my best to avoid the Rebuild section of evageeks. But I do intend to watch a dirty cam rip like I did with 2.0 and Q.
