Hey everyone, long time no question ask. (my ditzy questions were becoming quite frequent!😌)

Since i'll be in Japan for 5 months soon, theres a certain phrase i'd like to learn since i'm sure i'll be using it alot. Being a big Manga and Anime fan, the phrase i'm looking for is..
"even though i like this anime, i'd rather not watch it since i'm not up to this point yet and don't want to spoil it."
I'm aware that in Japanese a flat out refusal is rare or impolite, and so does anyone know an equivelent phrase that has pretty much the same effect?
I know it's annoying when people don't even try, so i've given it a shot, but i still don't think it's 100% right. (not even 50% 😌)
[Watashi wa] kono anime ga suki da keredo subete no hanashi wo mite inai desu. Dakara mazu subete no hanashi wo mitai desu

Thanks for any help! :)
 
(私は)このアニメが好きですが、今私が見ているのはもっと前の話(or エピソード)です。 それからどうなるのか(それから何が起こるのか)まだ知りたくないので、見たくありません。

(Watashi wa) kono anime ga sukidesu ga, ima watashiga miteiru no wa motto mae no hanashi (episo-do) desu. Sorekara dounarunoka (sorekara nani ga okorunoka) mada shiritakunai no de mitakuarimasen.

This one's a toughie. What I would usually say in this situation would be rather long and complicated. Above was the best I could do. It basically says,

"I like this Anime but what I am watching now are the older episodes. I don't want to watch this because I don't want to know what happens (after the episodes that I am watching now)."
😌
 
A relatively short if non-literal translation. Does this make sense at all ? I feel exhausted today so probly it's a bit off...
:)


このアニメが好きですが、まだ、見終わっていないので、 結末を先に見てしまいたくないです。
I like that anime, but because I haven't finished watching yet, I don't want to see the end ahead of time.
