Do you skip or watch OPs/EDs?
| I always skip, except when they are very good like Deadman Wonderland OP and Highschool DxD ED. |
 |
| I let them play as background music while I prepare a quick snack. |
 |
| I usually don't skip the OP unless it sucks ass. I generally skip the ED unless I really like it(I usually give it at a courtesy listen through, however). |
| Lemme smang it girl. |
Primity said: 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. Same for me |
| view it first time and if it's good i'll keep listening to it. give or take sometimes i just skip them to watch the next episode. |
 |
| Listen/watch the first time or two then generally skip even if I like them . . . which is isn't often anymore. |

| I watch my anime in blocks of 3/4 episodes. So I'll watch the OP on the first episode and the ED of the last. (Unless I Love/Hate the song) Also, if I know an Anime will have a little bonus scene at the end of the ED. I won't skip it. The amount of times I've missed hilarious ending scenes because I decided to stop watching as soon as the ED started is saddening. |
| No. |
| I'll watch the OP and ED once, and then afterwards I'll usually skip unless I really like the song. I always check to make sure there isn't an ending scene though-- I hate missing those too! |
 |
| If I enjoy it I will listen, if not I wont its that simple. |
| I always watch openings and endings the first time they're shown, and if I like them I continue to watch them. Otherwise I just skip. |
Scruff said: I watch my anime in blocks of 3/4 episodes. So I'll watch the OP on the first episode and the ED of the last. (Unless I Love/Hate the song) That makes sense. I never watch TV episodes back-to-back without some length of time between to decompress, so when I go to watch the next episode the OP and ED feel fresher. |
| I always watch them sometimes even when i'm not watching the anime >.> |
AlexSadist-sama said: I skip them after listening to them once or skip them all the time. This, guess sometimes I rather enjoy them, but mostly I skip them. |
| I've watched the ending for Highschool DxD for every episode I've watched. |
| If I like the opening, of course. If not, then no. I almost ALWAYS skip Endings though. Don't know why. |
| If I'm watching an anime and the OP song comes on, I just browse through the forums and such really quickly until it's over, then switch back. The only times I don't do this are when the opening visuals are really beautiful and I don't want to miss out on them. (Clannad AS, AnoHana, Another, Toradora!, Yuru Yuri) I used to skip OP's all the time, but after I watched Higursahi Kai for some reason I started to watch them. The only ending theme songs I've bothered to sit through are, "Why or Why Not" from Higurashi's first season ending (mostly because of Rika's commentary at the end, and the song in general) and "Dango Daikazoku" from Clannad. Just because it's beautiful. ;^;.. |
| Dont touch me I'm in despair. |
| Watch it the first episode, and the last, but if I really like it, I'll watch it every other episode. |
     |
| I've always watched the first and 2nd to last or last episode's op and ed |
 |
| I usually dont, but sometimes they can be pretty damn long... |
 |
Paul said: I've watched the ending for Highschool DxD for every episode I've watched. Probably my favourite ending song so far. Dat pole-dancing. |
| No. |
| Another old topic. As for me, I haven't watched anime for a bit and just started from last months, so all the OP/EDs sounds okay. I skip ones I think are bad but for example, Aquarion Evol's OP/ED is fantastic, both to the ears and the animation (the ED especially is amazing). Even if I watch 3-4 episodes in the same day, that OP/ED is amazing regardless. |
| I watch it once if it's a new opening/ending If i like the opening or ending I'll listen to it each time, unless something interesting was happening in the last episode and I just want to see what happens next I'll skip the opening no matter how much I like it xD |
 |
| I'll listen to the OP during the first episode and if they aren't good, I'll skip them in the future. I don't usually listen to ED's unless they start playing them in the final moments of the anime (I LOVE WHEN THE ANIME DOES THAT!) Sad thing is that I had always skipped the Steins;Gate OP during my first watch, but on my second rewatch I realized how good of a song "Hacking to the Gate" is! |
| Yes I skip a vast majority of OP and ED themes.Due to the fact most OP and ED themes being in another language most of it just sounds like incomprehensible or irritating noise.There are a handful of OP and ED themes that sound alright in Japanese like for example the OP to nightwalker and Ayakashi Samurai Horror Tales.The OP to Ergo Proxy is pretty good. I really wish the Dub licensing companies would put some effect in and dub the OP and ED themes because when they do dub them they are pretty good like the OP and ED themes to Fruits Basket or the Blue Gender. |
| I almost never skip over the op and ed in anime, and if i do its because i have already listend to them 3 or 4 times and i just cant do it anymore. Alot of the time i dislike a op or ed but after hearing it a few times it begins to grow on me. Then after seeing it 5 or 6 times and if i have a emotional investment in the anime i start to realy love the songs. A good example is the naruto shup ending "you can do it", i didnt like it at first, but after hearing it 10 times and then puting it on my ipod, i have grown to fucking love it. I have gone so far as to put about 100 anime op and ed on my ipod (the full versions of the songs) and i have to say that they are my top played songs now. I like alot of different types of music, from rock and bluegrass to classical to screaming metal, and now i can say i LOVE japanese pop and rock. I think its alot like food, at frist you dont like it, then you get used to it and soon you cant get enough of it. Musical taste is one of the ways anime has changed my outlook on life, and my veiw on what is good or acceptable. |

| Yeah, If i start a new anime first episode I watch the op/end if I like them I watch them often. My fav is yu-gi-oh zexal opening its just genius! Or air gear op, ao no exorcist op 2 |
 nyan-nyan-nyan-nyan Forever! |
| Watch online / download from internet - Nope. DVD - Sometimes I listen when I feel like to, but I sometimes skipped also :3 |
| If it have lyrics then yes. i read lyrics to learn new japanese words :D |
| My Guitar Covers: Playlist I CAN ALWAYS SHOW MY EVERYTHING TO YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUU |
| I skip the majority of them after I've listened to them for the first time. The only ones I've listened fully were only Toaru Kagaku no Railgun OPs and Steins;Gate OP for being so wicked. |
| I never ever skip a good opening or ending, some openings are beautiful (making good openings is an art) but others are not and that's when I skip. |
| Depends if the song is good/bad. I've never skipped the first OP of HxH (the old one) and there was a point where all I care about Umineko was the OP. But that other OP from Death Note was so unbearable I had to take off my headset when I first heard it play. |
| I have never skipped Another's OP lol. It if a really great song, I CAN'T make my self skp it! Sometimes I get sick of the average songs and skip them after listenening to them a few times. Show me someone who does NOT skip the Spiral opening... and I will show you someone who is tone deaf. I have perfect pitch so if it's a bad song... I sooooo skip it. |
  |
| If I have the entire series downloaded I watch the OP and ED only on the first and last episodes. If the series is airing and I like the opening/ed I watch them every time. If there are multiple openings I watch them at least once. |
| “Suppose, gentlemen, that man is not stupid.” |
| I usually skip it, but for some anime's I like the op or ed so much, I would watch it =P. |

| I can't see myself ever skipping OPs or EDs. They're just part of the episode for me, and when I sit down to watch anything I want to relax and not worry about hitting the "next chapter" button (or even worse, manually skipping to the end of it when there aren't any chapters). Even if you want to expend that effort to save only 3 minutes per episode, you run the risk of missing new content. Take Baccano!, for example: episode 1 doesn't have the episode preview that later episodes have, stuck between Chane Laforet and Nice Holystone. If you were to only watch the OP for episode 1, you'd have no idea that you were missing this content in later episodes. sisgood said: I have never skipped Another's OP lol. It if a really great song, I CAN'T make my self skp it! There are also clues in Another's OP from episode to episode (maybe -- there's been a bit of debate on that), so I can't imagine skipping it. |
| usually, unless i really enjoy the opening |
| An opening theme is playing as I'm typing this. |
 |
| I don't have a lot of time on my hands, so unfortunately I have to skip them. But I always watch the OP in the first episode and the ED in the last episode, to sort of wrap things up. |
| Nope. The OP and ED set the mood for watching the anime. Unless the Visual/Audio really don't appeal to me I'll watch them 9 times out of 10. |
 |
| I never skip the OP. I skip the ED sometimes when I want to watch the next ep ASAP. I like to think I'm watching the anime live so I just leave the OP/ED on. That, and it grows on you as you listen to it. |
 |
| I skip thro them after a few eps. I just want to get to watching the episode asap. |
| I skip the ED in 99% cases. I dont skip it only if i like song in it very much, eg Bakemonogotari or Death Note. Mostly i don't skip the OP, only if it really sucks. |
 |
| Depends on which anime tbh |
