Talk:NewType 2011-12

Well, I'm visiting this wiki only occasionally since the main series ended, but it just hit me - it is going to be a totally terrible place for few months once the third movie (the one with new material) gets released. Think about it - unlike Hollywood blockbusters, anime movies almost never get camrips or any other scene releases before official DVD/BDs. The quick search on Nyaa and Tosho show only Eva 2.0 (about a month after theatrical release), Disappearance of Haruhi (2 months after), Nanoha Movie 1st (3 months after) and Macross F The Movie (6 months after). It means that after the theatrical release in Japan, we overseas fans will have to wait about a month in the very best case, and possibly over half a year (when official BDs are likely to appear) to actually have any chance to watch it.

During that period... well, we have some editors living in East Asia (including Japan) and speaking Japanese, so some guys may have the chance to watch the movie in Japan, some plot summaries can also start spreading from other sources (2ch, 4chan, news sites, etc.) and it's obvious that some will start posting about it. But we'll have to wait until at least the first raw, because I guess many of us hate spoilers this blatant. Grrr, I don't know if I can stand avoiding this wiki for half a year... being foreign meguca fan is suffering... --kFYatek 14:57, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

Actually, rips are common now for popular anime movies long before it becomes available in BD/DVD. A month seems realistic for Madoka, and subs will be out very quickly. As someone who's been watching anime since the 90s, that doesn't seem like a "totally terrible" wait at all. But I'll refrain from historical analogies only to say if you want to avoid spoilers, just avoid certain sites and for the wiki, checking recent items will tell you which pages not to read to avoid spoilers. Check torrent until the release is out. It's really not hard to avoid spoilers. --randomanon 06:13, 13 November 2011 (UTC)
