The ANN Aftershow - Makima's Terrifying Power is Revealed

Can't say that I appreciate the front page episode spoiler. I come hear for news not to read opinion pieces or reviews but that spoiler in the title killed any chance of me being surprised in the episode. Like wasn't she dead on a train...

I'll be real: I cannot be bothered.

I avoid trying to put exactly what happens or including context to give stuff away, but then it's people mad about a screencap which, if you have no context for the scene what does that screencap tell you, exactly? That some kind of monster shows up in Chainsaw Man? What does the text tell you? That Denji got into some kind of sexy situation with a character, a reference to last week's episode, and that the characters are facing a threat.

Every week I have to pick a screenshot that makes people interested and combine it with text that's both informative as to the topics discussed and clever enough not to let the entire cat out of the bag but it's a losing game most of the time. I try just not to be a complete ass about it but the picture and text combo is about as close as I'll go to "spoilers" and it'll still make people grouchy.

I can't help but watch CSM right as it airs, so this doesn't affect me, but this title does seem a fair bit more spoiler-y than usual---a pretty big dramatic reveal for the show, even if not hard to guess ahead of time.

Yeah, if anything, the EDs have been dropping lots of spoiler-y hints almost every week.
