or that anime song op/ed is rly addictive

Last episodes usually don't have normal OPs or EDs.

I always watch the full OP/ED the first time (or whenever it changes) but for those anime I watch on TV, I usually just watch the full OP/ED for every eps. But I make exceptions for those anime with really good OP animations or songs, e.g. Jyu-Oh-Sei, GunGrave, Ergo Proxy, Samurai 7...but I don't usually make this exception for any ED

I watch the opening for the first 10 episodes and then after that I skip over it. I watch the ending about 2 times and usually dont watch it or if I realize it changes.

I randomize with my viewing of openings and endings. Sometimes I'll sit all the way through from the very start and sometimes I'll just skip ahead to the actual show. These days I've been skipping right to the show (except for Kaiba).

If the open/end theme is really good then yes i watch it.
Like for Air op , Clannad op , and Kanon op and end . Those are good op/end theme.
When I start to watch a new anime I only watch the op/end once.

I will only watch the opening past the first or second time if 1) I really, really like the song, 2) I really, really like the animation, 3) both. Off the top of my head, I know I've watched the opening every single time for Gravitation, BECK: Mongolian Chop Squad, Soul Eater, Naruto's second OP (Haruka Kanata - AKFG), GitS: SAC + 2nd GIG, and Evangelion.

Endings I will usually skip over even if I like the song/animation though I'm not sure why. xD

First episode of an anime show I would watch the opening and the ending but, when I progress watching more I tend to skip both the opening and ending.

I normally skip them, especially when it's some J-pop rubbish (I've never liked the genre).

I'm watching the openings 'cause they help to build up the atmosphere, but I skip the endings. And when I'm watching several episodes in a row, I sometimes skip the openings, too.

I'll always watch the opening and th ending for the first episodes. In fact, a bad opening could turn me away from the anime completly.
If the opening is really good , I'll listen for most episodes. The ending as well.

I always watch both the opening and the ending of every episode, because I think it's part of the show. And I always sing them. At about the 20th episode of the show I'll be able to sing it by heart, so I can watch the images without reading the karaoke. If there isn't karaoke I sing like "la la la", but I sing it.
There's a lot of song that I really like, but even if I don't like them I watch it because the episode seems to be incomplete without.

I don't skip openings at all. Sometimes the opening serves as a "break" when I'm watching an anime continously so I just surf the web for a bit and get back to it. Other than that, it's a tradition to watch it. I do skip the endings most of the time since they are generally not good as the openings so I can get to the preview.

Depends on the songs for me. Although some OP or ED animations just "speak to me", so I watch them. Eureka Seven's OPs & EDs immediately come to mind as much watches for me.

OPs I need to watch every damn time:

Cowboy Bebop - Tank!
Samurai Champloo - Battlecry
Mushishi - Sore Feet Song
Aim For The Top! 2 - Groovin' Magic
Chobits - Let Me Be With You
Kaiba - Never (a new favourite for sure)
Allison & Lillia - Tameiki no Hashi
Azumanga Daioh - Sora Mimi Cake
Lucky Star - Motteke! Sailor Fuku (for the novelty of it)

EDs:

School Rumble S1 - Onna no Ko Otoko no Ko
Samurai Champloo - Shiki no Uta
Kaiba - Carry Me Away
Azumanga Daioh - Rasberry Heaven

When first watching a show I'll check them out, with my finger on the skip button. If I like the songs, I'll listen to 'em through for the first ep, then maybe once or twice through the series, unless I really like it (very rare.) in which case I won't skip.

But 98% of the time I skip OPs/EDs entirely.

exactly

Whenever more than a day passes since last time I saw an anime I will watch opening, unless I didn't like it.
However, if I love a series, I will end up watching many episodes in a row, itching to see what happens, so I will skip, even if it is a great opening.
When I watch a series that is currently airing, and I need to wait a week 'till next episode, I will generally watch both OP and ED.

Execpt for the above exception, I hardly ever watch ED. (I think the only case I watched ED more than 3 times was in FMP: Fummofu)

I will watch the OP/ED once, and if I like them, then every other episode I'll watch it. Otherwise...SKIP.

I usually watch the OP/ED through once, then I usually watch the opening every episode, but skip the ending. There are some animes which I skip both/watch both though ^^

I usually watch the opening and closing songs for the first few episodes, then skip straight to the anime. When the anime comes to a close, I start to watch the opening and closing songs again. So I get closure or something like that =)

I usually watch em but after a few episodes I just skip em. At the moment I'm on a mission to finish/catch up with a few anime's before school (Which starts the 13th -_-). Not only that theirs a couple of games I wanna finish before school too so I'm limited on time.

I always watch the opening, just to set the mood for the anime... as for endings, I normally don't watch them, unless they're something that strikes my fancy, like Koihime Musou's ending...

Depends on how much I like the song and animation. If everything is golden, then I'll watch it everytime.

Don't you think sometimes the opening/ending credits are more beautiful than the show itself?^^ I usually watch (and sing aloud) both opening/ending,except for when they really are ugly (Midori no Hibi..)
