As an anime only fag (prior to the film) I feel you might be onto something. I had a basic outline of spoilers going in, but not an indepth one. Plus it's been years since those revelations were fresh in my mind, so when I saw the movie it was as "unspoiled" as one who spends a lot of time online/4chan could hope to be going in. Needless to say it had quite an impact, I blew through the entire manga the following weekend.

This could have had great affect on my interpretation of events in retrospect, not necessarily for better or worse. In hindsight I think the moment in the pool for instance, has a bit more weight to it when you consider that it happens right in the middle of part 1's run, and it could be considered the positive high-water mark of the series in an emotional sense, both for the characters and the audience.
