Even though some of them are spoiler-free, it is possible to predict the events based on some points of the review. Yes, all of us watch anime and can predict some events based on knowing some little hints even if they are considered spoilers. I like to watch anime without knowing literally 'anything'. That's way I have the attitude and style mentioned in my previous post of reading reviews.

I think it depends on the writer's ability to deliver useful information without any signs of spoilers and/or hints. And to be honest, many writers lack this ability.
