I think omitting themes just because they cannot be deduced at a glance is a bad idea. If you are someone looking for shows with a certain theme, would you want a show to be excluded from your search because that theme wasn't evident in the first episode? Look at Madoka for example - if you restrict it to themes that apply to the first episode and the basic spoiler free happy clappy synopsis, then the meat of the series isn't covered at all.


Spoilers are spoilers are spoilers. If you don't restrict your description of the plot to what is in the official synopsis (i.e., what the people who wrote the show want you to know before you watch it), then you run the risk of spoiling the plot.

The problem is that some of these items aren't themes, they're plot elements.

Save that shit for the Wikia page.

Thanks; but what could be done with themes over-use?

Banken is right: it is annoying, should be left for Wikipedia.

Is the a way to deal with that?
