You heard the question, i usually skip them, but for my favourite ones such as the opening of Baki the grappler and season 2 (the dub versions), i cant help but watch them lol.

Sometimes i listen to the first part, then skip...

If the OP is awesome, then I skip less, (e.g. Angel Beats! along with the ED)
If I do not find the OP any special, I skip every after first, which is the majority.
I skipped 0 of Aria the ______ though, because it has no fixed OP.

Tend to watch most opening or closers as long as isn't pop ballad that could really use a "90s" stamp on it. :P
Looking at posts on the Internet wouldn't bother me so much if people didn't also mix up he and she.

I give each opening/ending one chance; if they're good, I'll watch, if not, I'll skip next time.
Until they change and this cycle begins again.

Watch the first time, then skip if it's not my fav. (I cannot do it with live-stream, though). I watch all the time when OP is good.

Depends on the anime tbh, sometimes an OP is awesome enough to warrant watching all the time. Most however I'll watch once or twice but I'll skip them for the most part.

Watch it maybe 3 times out of 12 episode. First time is a must, then one more when I feel like watching it again... And will not skip the final episode.

Other than that, I don't see the point of watching it over, and over...

I usually watch the OP and ED once (or whenever there's a new one for longer anime), and then skip them from then on.

There's been a few where I have watched it over and over, such as Bakemonogatari's OP4 Ren'ai Circulation, or Shinryaku Ika Musume's ED Metamerism.

Almost always watch them each episode, unless its a song I don't like.

Certain songs getting skipped tends to really annoy me too. If I'm watching something with someone and they skip something like the AnoHana ending or SoRaNoWoTo's opening I'll probably slap them.

Isn't that obvious? If it's good I watch it, if it's bad I skip it.

What's up with all those people who just don't care about OPs/EDs and always skip them, sometimes not even listening to them? You fail desu. Music is life, and OP/ED themes are important and need attention too, as they are part of the anime.

^ This except the first OP from Kuroshitsuji and soul eater, I liked the songs on them a lot. Now the songs are on my playlist.

I skip them 95% of the time. For the first episode, I usually give the OP and ED a chance, but if I don't like it then I skip it before finishing. If I like the song, then I watch it, but I've seen 160+ anime series and only 7 have caught my attention.

I generally watch the first one when starting out an anime just to see if it is any good, but after a couple of seconds, if it isn't any good, then I skip them from thereon in the series.

Usually I only watch the opening/ending on the first episode or whenever there's a new one. If I like the OP/ED clip (is that what they're called?) then I'd watch it every few episodes. If I really like the OP/ED theme, then I'd download the song after watching an episode or two.

Honey and Clover opening - oh god what is this. But I love the opening song

I watch bleach/soul eater/haruhi/TWGOK ones always but I Tend to skip others once I've watched them once

Edit - Also and is it just me or do one piece openings always have spoilers in them? A lot of others do too but one piece ones just seem to always have them!

I usually skip the OPs. I find most of them to be annoying. Occasionally there will be an OP with a catchy tune and I listen to it, kind of like the OP in Ergo Proxy, Fruits Basket, Tenchi Muyo GXp and few others.

It is usually very rare that I skip the opening. I almost always watch it because I like the song, want to get pumped for the episode, buy myself time to get a snack, watch a certain part again to pick out events or characters, or a combined number of those.

I don't if I don't like it at all - RARE, definitely. It usually winds up growing on me. Also if I'm bored and just can't wait for the next episode. Kinda depends.

But I'd say 95% of the time, I'm watching that OP.

Always skip. They too often spoil series by showing characters that have yet to be introduced, places/things not yet shown as well as the fact the music is usually terrible. I've never understood the point in 90 second openings, and when I used to fansub I was an advocate for cutting them out, as karaoke wasted way too much time and delayed things far too often. These days with ordered chapters, that's a more valid option, at least. Though few groups take advantage of them still. :(

Usually I'll watch the opening for the first few episodes.
Sometimes though if I haven't watched the series in a week or more I'll watch the opening once. Really depends on the quality of it.
There are some, like AnoHana currently, that I just can't get enough of.

Depends on how much I like the OP or ED. Though I will say that it is much more likely for me to watch a OP more than an ED, because by the time the ED is reached I may be psyched for the next episode and just skip it outright.
