When I started watching anime, I used to skip most of the theme songs. But not anymore, I listen to everything.

I skip them after listening to them once or skip them all the time.

Watch on the first and last eps, skip the rest.

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 watch the OP/ED when I watch the first episode of a new series; however, after that point I skip them. Although, if it’s one of my favorite OP/ED or a favorite song (like in Fushigi Yuugi) I will watch them all the time.

I usually do not skip them.

I never skip them, NEVER, even when I absolutely despise the OP and or ED.

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.

I generally listen to the OP/ED while editing my list and/or looking at random sites and then switch back to watch when the song ends.

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.

except OP and ED that use the story as baackground instead of the usual PV, like ARIA

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 listen to them the first time and then only if I really like the song

Only if I don't like them.

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

I only skip them if I don't like them or if I am short on time.

Never.
Especially Highschool DxD
I always feel compelled to watch the OP's and ED's

I actually have skipped endings many times and I regret that.. :(
That's why now I always watch OP+ ending
