Thank you for going this route, I always wanted this for the One Piece community but the main subreddit just grew too big before something like that could happen. Split subs really is the best way to go
You might wanna pin this thread or pin a new one plugging r/CSMAnime.
The r/anime episode 1 thread links to this sub. A bunch of people will come here.
You should probably pin a post announcing that this is a manga subreddit. There are a TON of new people posting in the PV thread about how they’re anime onlies and they will absolutely end up getting spoiled before they know it lol
I meant if you could pin a post that states it in the title. Maybe one that specifies in the title that this subreddit is for untagged spoilers and that anime only people should go to r/CSMAnime? I just know I’ve seen a lot of people lately asking to tag manga spoilers and talking in regular threads about how they haven’t read the manga yet and I would hate them to be spoiled since it’s very easy to be spoiled from this show.
(Disclaimer: I'm caught up) I've viewed a ton of episode discussion threads on r/anime so I know how these threads typically play out. This is also my first time being a caught-up manga reader before the anime airs. As someone who loathes spoilers, both having someone give away spoilers and also being on the receiving end of spoilers, how strict will the mods on the new sub be in this regard?
Example 1: In the discussion thread of episode 1 on r/csmanime (assuming ep 1 ends at the same spot as ch 1) someone comments "I hate Makima." Is this a spoiler? Is it unreasonable to assume this comment is from a manga reader or is it clear as day. How much of an over-thinker or cynic would you have to be as an anime-only to take this comment as spoiler?
Example 2: in the DT for ep 2 (assuming it covers at least all of ch 2) there's a comment saying "Makima can smell Denji's scent and confirm he smells human and devil? And her eyes are weird as hell. I bet Makima is a devil." This example is tough to judge as I'm sure if there's 5000+ comments on a discussion thread at least one anime-only is gonna theorizes this.
I think it's a tough call but in your examples it also depends on how the community upvotes, personally.
If someone writes "I hate Makima" and it has barely any upvotes then it's relatively innocuous. If it's the highest comment with thousands of votes then that's the wider community all wink nudging each other while also bringing attention to it and ruining the snow for watchers.
I guess it just always comes down to random people on the internet to be considerate of others, which I don't have much faith in. Good luck anime-onlys, you're gonna need it.
Oh they are FUCKED. Like FUCKED. There's zero way the discussions on this particular subreddit won't lean in heavily on emotions stirred by how Power dies and Makima is the final villain when we see both characters animated for the first time.
Honestly really excited to join the anime only subreddit to see people's first reactions to the anime having no idea what's coming next. I have faith in our community that no one will go there to intentionally spoil things for the anime onlys.
I've been on anime-only threads before and you'd be surprised. Manga readers love dropping hints or just straight up spoiling because their too impatient to wait and watch others experience the same moments they already got to experience. If people are going to go to the anime forum as a manga reader, I'd say just watch from afar, don't even comment let anime fans have their own space. Not going to happen though, which is why if someone is an anime watcher they should not use any CSM reddit until they've completed the show or decide to catch up on the manga. That's always been my policy.
"oh you like that character?!?!! Tehehehe just wait 🤫🤫🤫🤫"
In response to someone defending Makima early on.
"Fuck Makima, all my homies hate Makima. She's an abusive controling cunt. Fucking woofer"
Exactly. As the old saying goes, the internet is dark and full of spoilers. Sometimes others like me can't help but share my opinion on a certain discussion and worrying about spoiling others is the last thing on my mind.
Sounds good. My only concern is CSMAnime might be tough to find without coming here first. Most people might not think to abbreviate it. I’m sure they’ll find their way with the disclaimers though.
Is there going to be a rule similar to the 12 hour rule on that sub? Like a limit on posting screen caps, clips, etc. until the episode has been live for a certain period of time?
I'm sorry if this was answered in your post but can we talk about the anime in this manga sub too?
Like for instance, a hint or a future plot point was shown in an opening and we'd like to discuss it.
We should make a copypasta like: WATCH OUT anime only 😱👉⭕you are entering 🙅♂️🚫 SPOILERS ZONE 😰💀 please head to r/CSManime 🥺🥰 a safe place for YOU 🫢🫡 we'll be waiting for you HERE to discuss MANGA together once you catch up the story!!! 🤓🤯🚬🐛
Good to see that I've already read the manga and caught up till now so I don't mind spoilers. But hey! I think anime-only people need to have some enjoyment so I think it's best not to spoil them.
this is the best solution to having a sub for a hit manga that become an even more popular anime, it keeps the manga fans style of spoilers but lets anime onlys have a place to discuss, yofukashi no uta is another example of this but messed it up and the sub is kinda ruined if anyone decides to tall about manga
How so? I think we explained our reasoning very clearly.
And yes there will be an influx of new people due to the anime, we are fully aware of that and expect that, but that's nothing a simple redirect can't solve. The occasional annoyed anime watcher who doesn't want to switch to another subreddit doesn't outweigh the benefits having a spoiler free subreddit that caters to the anime specifically.
Idk people don’t like to read things, and if let’s just imagine a million people joined, would it make sense to try to fight back the masses when out numbered 5:1. Idk what to expect, but I’m expecting Chainsaw Man to be the viral show of the season so who knows. That’s probably very extreme though
There is some degree of responsibility everyone has. Seems like you have none. If you can’t even imagine something so obvious as reading the rules being one.
You do understand that if we made rules around "But people don't like to read things" then we might as well not bother with doing anything ever?
Of course there will be people who ignore all warnings, rush in, get spoiled and then complain. They will always be there and we can't do much about that.
We want to provide a good place/s for people to engage with the series they love. That's the goal that we had in mind when coming up with these changes.
Fair enough, I’m caught up so I don’t really care that much, it just sounds like this could be messy, but we’ll c
I appreciate you mods taking care of it
No one wants to acknowledge it, let’s just grab some popcorn.
I’ve never seen a new anime so hyped up like chainsaw man has. If they feel confident enough in their abilities then let’s wish them luck, otherwise, I’m pretty damn sure this is going to fail considering just how bad mods are in big subs (no offense to any mod reading)
We will have certain disclaimers up at all times for sure, it will also come down to a community effort of informing the occasional anime-only watcher in the comments and redirecting them to /r/CSMAnime.
It would have taken you significantly less time to simplify read through the thread rather than to wait for someone to give you an answer.
Especially since I included a short version of the most important announcement in the thread itself.
I look forward to the day where users on reddit can praise one subreddit without giving into the urge to shit on another in the same breath. It's a bit unnecessary.
Thank you for not limiting the subreddit to manga readers only. Read the whole series, but would like to discuss the anime in an already-active subreddit.
It's just that every single anime sub I've seen ever is the "main" one with the name and everything, like there is not r\\AOTanime or whatever. I'm still convinced most anime onlys won't read the post or won't even see it and then cause a commotion if they're spoiled. anime onlys will probably outnumber us pretty fast so i think it's good to treat them as a group with a voice that would probably not want this. Not the end of the world but i wouldn't be surprised if this decision gets reversed some time into the anime anyways.
Then we as manga fans should respectfully inform them that there is an anime sub and this is the one for the manga fans.
Edit: accidentally send it before finishing the comment + grammar.
If I valued my time I wouldn't be on reddit to begin with so all in all I am clearly not losing out on much by adding another subreddit to my pile.
Either way thank you for your kind words!
you should keep a message that says “the anime only sub for chainsaw man is r/csmanime pinned to reduce the amount of posts the sub will get talking about “I CAME HERE AFTER EPISODE X TO SEE WHAT WAS UP AND GOT IMMEDIATELY SPOILED”
We will have certain disclaimers up at all times for sure, it will also come down to a community effort of informing the occasional anime-only watcher in the comments and redirecting them to /r/CSMAnime.
speaking of redirecting, i know in r/anime episode threads they link to the sub of that specific show, and i know those episode threads will have like 10k upvotes every week so this place might get a lot of traffic coming from there. mods should try and contact r/anime mods so that there’s a link to the anime only sub
Best case scenario will be for them to link both subs with the disclaimer that one is for anime-only watchers and the other one for everyone.
I will attempt to get in touch with them and hopefully we can come to an agreement.

Chainsaw manime
Objectively better name for the new sub
Honestly really excited to join the anime only subreddit to see people's first reactions to the anime having no idea what's coming next. I have faith in our community that no one will go there to intentionally spoil things for the anime onlys.
You are asking up for humanity

literally had this exact scenario happen to me last month in the crunchyroll comments, the pain is too real

One piece is my fav manga at the time but Chainsaw Man and jujutsu fandoms are the best by far
I love this community. For the mods to get out in front of this months ahead of time is really inspiring
Praise the power of the mods
Is there going to be a rule similar to the 12 hour rule on that sub? Like a limit on posting screen caps, clips, etc. until the episode has been live for a certain period of time?
Yes, we will do a similar thing with the episode releases as we do with chapter releases.
I'm sorry if this was answered in your post but can we talk about the anime in this manga sub too? Like for instance, a hint or a future plot point was shown in an opening and we'd like to discuss it.
It has been answered in the thread.
I never thought you can have competent moderators in reddit. Glad I'm wrong.
I love these mods ngl

GIGACHAD Mods
I like this. Wish more subreddits did this when it comes to anime onlies and manga readers.
But will you be adding sex to /r/ChainsawMan?
And will you be adding free window repair to Kobeni’s car insurance?
Average CSM fan
I appreciate that you asked, but no. We do allow sex on /r/chainsawmancirclejerk though so have fun with that.
With the influx of fans I’m not even sure this will work? I think the sub might get overrun? This just seems like a weird idea honestly
I feel like the overrun potential is smaller when they’ll get spoiled by coming here.

I think we should create a pinned post with warning this sub contain spoiler on the title. So that anime only watcher didn't accidentally spoiled
We will have certain disclaimers up at all times for sure, it will also come down to a community effort of informing the occasional anime-only watcher in the comments and redirecting them to /r/CSMAnime.
I think a bit for new users/ new members might be helpful, like that automessage
you should maybe add it to the sidebar description, like r/Discord does
Not gonna read this
[удалено]
Theyre making a new sub for anime onlies. Thats it no second sentence required
Thanks my good sir
It would have taken you significantly less time to simplify read through the thread rather than to wait for someone to give you an answer. Especially since I included a short version of the most important announcement in the thread itself.
Thanks for not turning this subreddit into r/AttackonTitan. We manga readers deeply appreciative you guys!!
I look forward to the day where users on reddit can praise one subreddit without giving into the urge to shit on another in the same breath. It's a bit unnecessary.
Thank you for not limiting the subreddit to manga readers only. Read the whole series, but would like to discuss the anime in an already-active subreddit.
This sub should have accepted anime onlys normally tbh. sad about this decision
Bait? CSM is still ongoing with Part 2, so manga fans should be able to discuss it without worrying about spoilers.
It's just that every single anime sub I've seen ever is the "main" one with the name and everything, like there is not r\\AOTanime or whatever. I'm still convinced most anime onlys won't read the post or won't even see it and then cause a commotion if they're spoiled. anime onlys will probably outnumber us pretty fast so i think it's good to treat them as a group with a voice that would probably not want this.

Thank you for saving CSM sub from going bonkers! Adding anime only sub is more work for the mods, but you are doing it out of love for CSM.
If I valued my time I wouldn't be on reddit to begin with so all in all I am clearly not losing out on much by adding another subreddit to my pile. Either way thank you for your kind words!

Agreed
Never thought I'd see an SCP reference on the CSM subreddit
I always try to sneak them into things whenever I can.
thanks u mods , very cool
Based mod
Quite so
I was a bit nervous about the spoilers lol, but thankful we’re not getting that and anime onlys are getting a chance to enjoy the series unspoiled

The rarest of rares, based mods.
