    I just double checked three different places, with three different summaries, and none of them mention any of that. All pictures are just kids at a beach. Same for the manga.

    Did you watch the promo?

    Did you look at the website with a giant image of shadow monsters grabbing at people?

    And another image of the cast standing around, all holding guns and giant knives?

    It's silly to be upset because you looked at one small part of its advertising packet and arbitrarily decided that all the things right next to them that you haven't looked at are off-limits.

    Why would I go to the website that's all in Japanese? Do the trailers also make it clear that the show is 'shlocky' and the ending 'not great'?

    It's not that difficult to put stuff like that in a spoiler. That's what they're there for. I'm pretty sure we made it through the whole season of another similar show recently without anything escaping out of spoilers.

    Executioner and Her Way of Life 01

    I can tell you from reading the books that the tone being all over the place is pretty much just how it is, and this adaptation seems about the same in that regard.

    That's an indictment of whatever second-hand sources you're using. They probably wrote it from a blurb and one image months ago and never bothered to update. It's unreasonable to expect that everybody has to stay frozen at some random unspecified time and all additional promotional videos and first-hand information officially distributed after that are now offlimits spoilers.

    Why aren't you mad that people are saying that this season of Kaguya will be good? Or about the God of Highschool 'ending' bit mentioned last page? It's an adaptation. Things will change. Hopefully in the direction of fewer gratutious shower scenes of 14 year olds.

    Yeah, most of the English-language promotional material for the Summer Time Render anime I've seen doesn't mention that there's a time travel element to its premise for some reason.

    Yeah you're right, romantic comedies and action series are exactly the same as mystery thrillers, there's no difference at all.

    ANN, MAL, etc are all pretty lazy and incestuous, especially when it comes to translation. One will translate something, and all the rest will copy it without checking or a second thought. The amount of mistakes and misinformation they spread and magnify is... a lot. I fondly remember a year or two back, when one of the porn animation studios first got the bright idea that a good way to advertise their stuff was to actually broadcast it on TV with the porn cut out. The anime 'news' sites never bothered to look at the show's website or anything at all about its provenance except one partial blurb that they all then passed around, and they all included it in their lists of new shows to watch as a supposed wacky comedy about a college dude being forced to live with his sisters. Oops, it's explicit hardcore incest porn.

    In the translation I read, I think they just called it "Apex"? But maybe I'm misremembering. What I definitely do remember, though, is them mentioning Apex characters (and guns and gameplay) by name in the text. It's in the Miko/Ishigami-relevant chapters.
    Looked at the Japanese, and they used 「エペ」[e-pe] which I'm going to assume is the common abbreviation for it. That can probably(?) fly for copyright/trademark reasons, and perhaps they're less itchy triggery on in-game names? *shrug*

    That's just Apex, yeah. See it on japanese twitter all the time.

    Is there a site that lists what new anime is coming out and what streaming site it will be on? There seems to be plenty of sites listing off new anime but they don't mention where I can see them.

    You're complaining about things that are explicitly stated and shown in the promos advertising the show.

    If watching the promos a show uses to advertise itself is too much of a spoiler for you, it's probably not actually a spoiler.
    The cover for the DVD of The Ring has Sadako climbing out of the TV, just because it's official doesn't mean it's not potentially a spoiler. Are anime trailers actually cut by the show creators?

    I mean most trailers these days ruin half of a movie or major plot things in shows.

    School live had it's twist spoiled early on.

    I think a lot of people avoid promotional stuff entirely because it's become so bad over the years.

    So maybe it's unrealistic, but in general it's also pretty easy to give vague impressions of a thing for the first couple episodes anyway.

    Almost all TV shows are just promo materials for manga and LN. Does that mean I can just spoil the end of every season since I know how they are all going to go anyway since I've already read what they are promoting and talking about promo stuff is fine?

    Ain't hard to just be a little chill about stuff sometimes. I'll keep in mind it's ok to spoil based on promos tho. Good times.

    My view is that if it's something that happens in the first episode it counts as part of the premise.

    Well.

    I was interested in Summer Time Render.

    But now that the mystery that the plot descriptions and teasers were careful not to spoil has been completely laid out I guess I can skip it.

    Thanks.

    Oh hey, I got this one.

    I'm sorry man, that sucks.
    Hope you have an ok day though.

    They want to know if it's a Train made of Sea, or a Sea made of Train.

    Or is it a training arc led by the sea, or a training arc for the sea? Does the sea have enemies it needs to level up against? Do people come to the sea to learn new skills?

    I'm watching that Super Cub anime, and I wish I didn't know that it's essentially an ad. Every time they refer to her bike a a proper-noun Cub, because it's critical that there's proper brand recognition for the Honda SuperCub®, I need to pause the episode and giggle to myself a bit. So I'm pausing the episode a lot, it's honestly a problem.
    There's been a few moments so far that lay on the advertisement so thick that it's made me completely lose my shit.

    The idea is that the train is a faster A to B on the grand line where normally you need special navigation equipment to get anywhere
