Why does Japan not give a shit about spoilers at all? Every

Most anime is based an a pre existing manga. So people in Japan are already spoiled. Though Eva is an exception. And Anno likes to mock his fans.

Culture. This is also why Japanese film trailers often tell you the entire plot. This is most obvious with Western films, where you can compare the Western trailer with Japanese ones.

Japan as a culture doesn't care much about WHAT happens, they care more about HOW it happens. Obviously sometimes a story teller wants to keep consumers surprised, but that is a minority.

Escaflowne, while falling short in a lot of things, actually handled episode previews really well. It often tricked you into thinking the next episode was going to be one thing like someone dying, then you find out it was something totally different.

I noticed the anime "Slayers" does this in their opening episode titles.

Kabuto Kouji Dies in Magma
Garma Dies
Yamcha Dies
The Magician Doesn't Come Back

The list of episode titles where they really, really want you to watch next time goes on and on.

Western trailers are also spoiling the whole plot these days, and have been doing so for some time.

If a spoiler ruins a story, then it's probably not a good story to begin with.

Not just a Japan thing. There have been actual studies about the whole "spoiler" thing, and the TL;DR of it is that it is actually roughly as enjoyable to be surprised by the "what" as it is knowing it bforehand and be surprised by the "how".
WHich means that deliberately creating expectation about the "how" is a valid marketting technique, and not a dick move.

Basically, the people rudely complaining about
>mu spoilerz
are just being tantruming manchildren. Key word here "rudely".
I mean, if your preference is not to be told, well, that's your preference and you are not worse or better because of it, but if you happen to find about what happens beforehand and you THROW A FUCKING TANTRUM ABOUT IT, that's you being a dick. That's all that's about it.

The delivery is what's most important.

My friend was sperging out when I told him that Wenli dies. Why are people so autistic?

Utena's episode previews are pretty good. Anthy and Utena talk more about the overall theme of the next episode whilst choice cuts play rather than explaining what happens neccessarily.

You don't even need study for those.
Take example of LN / Manga adaptation, people already know what will happen yet OC and fun will still flow.

But nothing can recreate the first time you watch/read something you know nothing about.

Spoilers are a meme. Ignorance is not actually bliss; Gray was being sarcastic when he wrote that.

I wonder if it's a result of water-cooler/scuttlebutt culture. You want to be able to discuss Game of Thrones with the guys at work to fit in, but it's not really your cup of tea, so you rely on suspense to force you to watch every week. And the game of "avoid the spoiler" probably adds something as well.

Most of the world outside of the US does not care about "spoilers". Spoilers are for small-minded children who need to be "wowed" with plot twists and gimmicks. Most real people appreciate a story for what it is as a whole, like a tapestry, admiring how all the threads weave together, not focusing only on surprises and the final plot resolution.

If a story is TRULY well-written, you will appreciate it more the second time you are told it, not the first.
