I always watch the whole thing unless I'm really interested in knowing whats going to happen next (near the end), then I just skip it. I also skip it if the opening is really bad.

as everyone said depends, like i watch this op every time cause for one the op is very well handled witht he song and the sense of the story, every single arc is shown somewhere in it which makes it watchable throughout the entire serise



i also end up watching op's everytime when the op is just different with a awsome song like star drivers

i also love how this op is just completly different from the rest(kinda why i also love the show) its nothing special its just the main charecter walking speeding up to the songs tempo and it works out so well, aww man now i wanna go watch star driver again,

I usually skip them unless I like the song.

For example I listen to the Deadman Wonderland OP every episode. Same with the GTO opening when I watched it. I really enjoy those two songs.

If I like the song I'll watch them. Otherwise I'll skip it to get right into the episode.

I almost always watch the OP, regardless of how bad it is. I almost never watch the ED, unless it's incredible. (Welcome to the NHK is the most memorable example)

usually i will listen to the OP on the first episode of anime
deciding whether the OP is a good song or not, and i have to
remember the tune of the OP..

when i've done remembering about the tune of OP, so then i will skip the OP..
my favorite OP ever would probably from Death Note,Naruto
and some that don't remember...

Well it depends on the music and my mood. If I find the OPs interesting and if I feel like watching them then I won't skip the OPs. Otherwise, I fast forward them and jump directly to the story.

If the music is good and the OP isn't boring, then I'll usually watch. I mean, it's usually only 1 minute and 30 seconds. I also always watch the entire OP and ED on the last episode of the series. It makes it feel more complete and satisfying xD

I watch the first time, and if it's just too awesome I usually watch the whole OP/ED each episode.

Take FMP! Fumoffu? for example; the OP was just too good to skip.

I usually just watch the 1st or 2nd episode OP and ED, then I skip.

When new OPs and EDs come out, again I watch them just once or twice then skip.

This thread actually kinda surprises me. I pretty much always watch the op/ed for every series. There's a few exceptions, only recent one i skipped frequently was Maria Holic because the op isn't easy on the ears :P

It depends on the song. I'll always listen to it when I first come across it, and then I'll continue listening to it if I like the song, or I'll skip it if I don't.

It both depends on the song and what I am doing at the moment. If I am exclusively watching anime then yeah I will probably skip through the OP and ED, but if I am also browsing forums/etc. then I will let the OP and ED play in the background ^_^ so I have more time to browse :3

Regardless though I will always at least listen to it a couple of times, because quite often there are interesting plot clues within an OP and ED (Clannad for instance), not to mention some of the songs are just plain amazing. On very few occasions the OP and ED can contribute to the overall feeling and theme of an anime as well.

I do the same. Sometimes after watching some of them enough times, they grow on you. Of course I personally don't skip them because I love most anime music in general.

Yep. That's one of the reasons that Higurashi is in my top 5.

It depends on the situation for me.

If I'm watching a weekly airing series I'll watch the OP and ED, but if I'm chugging a handful of episodes from a completed series, I'll skip them.

But if I don't like the songs I'll skip them, or if they clash with the overall mood of the series.

When it comes to the OP... it depends a lot on how much I like it. I watch it the first few episodes to see if it's worth sitting through or not and then I either watch it in every following episode or skip every single one except for the last.

I seldom watch the ED, no matter how good it is. Usually just skip to the very end to see if there's anything to see besides the preview.

I listen to the OP the first episodes and only watch when I reached an episode with a new OP, since most OP's contain spoilers which I absolutely don't want to see. As for the endings, I usually skip those.

I watch most my anime on Crunchyroll and if I skip ahead the stream will quit on me. xD

Only time I do is if I'm watching it on a site that streams fansubs and I'm in a rush to see what happens next to sit through 90 seconds. xD

As with all anime opening and endings I always give them the first run through to see if they're worth watching each time.

There's quite a few anime series that I can enjoy them each time; for example - Xam'd Lost Memories.

i'll usually watch and listen to it once, then skip it most times afterwards. so every time a new OP/ED comes out for a show, I'll do the same thing. i won't skip if it's a OP/ED that I really enjoy watching or listening to, though.

In the initial episodes, probably nah. But yeah, as the series progresses, when I'm watching the shit in a go, I usually stop giving a damn about the fucking songs. There are always exceptions, though.

I tend to just browse the forums or do other things while the OP and ED are playing if they're good. I skip the OP if the Anime has some sort of cliffhanger though. xD

If I can't stand them (like Kill Me Baby's OP), then I'll skip it.
Otherwise I'll watch them.

The only exception to that is if I'm marathoning an older show. Then I tend to watch the OP with the first episode and the ED with the last one (whether that be for the day or for the show as a whole, depending on if I get to the entire show in one day or not).

I always skip the ending songs, so i can go on to watch the next episode. I usually watch them back to back after all. However i will go back at some point and give them a good listen to on youtube or something. For the opening songs however, i always watch them. ^^
