Not always:
If I dislike the song then no
If I like it then yes

As simple as that

Always skip it, unless it's the first episode. [:
Except when I watched Death Note...ALWAYS watched the second opening, because of its baddassery.

:D

If the series is short (26 or fewer), then I usually listen to the OPs unless it doesn't draw my attention at all.

I'll usually watch both the opening and ending at least once. After that, I'll skip it unless I really like it.

I almost always skip them. The only anime I can think of where I always watched the opening/ending was Darker Than Black. I always watched the opening of Evangelion. Most shows I do watch both for a few episodes, unless I really hate the song (Tsubasa...)

Depends on two things, 1st if the OP or ED are good or not.
2nd: whether am watching in a batch or a weekly anime

In a batch i just cant be bothered since i just want to watch em.
Weekly anime I have to (if its good) watch the OP & ED since i waited a week for it!

When I'm watching a completed anime, I usually watch the opening/ending for the 1st and last episode. 1st episode to see what it's like, and last episode because, well, it's the last episode and it's the last time they'll play (assuming that they WILL play in the last episode of course). For weekly anime, usually I watch the opening/ending unless they're bad.

It depends:

If i LIKE the song : YES

If i dislike the song : HELL NO

If i LIKE the song but i'm hurry for watch: with water in my eyes i jump the scroll to the last scene of the OP or into the next chapter if was an ED xD

I almost never watch the openings because I'm just too impatient, but I'll watch the ending to get to the next episode preview unless I'm just going on to the next episode anyway

If they are good songs or have good scenes or artwork, then I listen and watch them. But even if they arent so entertaining, I at least watch the ending and opening songs at least once during the series.

If I like the song - I watch the op/ed a few times before watching the actual anime :3
If I don't like it - I skip.

Simple as that ^^

If I'm watching it the anime for the first time then yes, since the opening gives you an idea of what to expect in the anime. I usually skip the ending, unless the song is good.

I take icon requests.

I'll always let the OP play, whether I like it or not. If I'm watching a new episode of a series (like Code Geass every Sunday), I watch the ED and preview. But if I'm marathoning a completed or semi-completed series, I skip the ED and preview.

I watch each new opening & ending at least once. After that, if I'm pressed for time or don't like the song I'll skip it. Until the last ending because they always throw in parts of the story either durring it or after.

Hell no. When I start an anime, I'm too excited to see what is happening next so I usually onle watch the opening once then I skip the rest.

I try to listen to both themes especially since animes may change their themes halfway through. If it's a bad theme song it may grow on me. If not I'll try to suck it up and listen to the theme song while cleaning or something... I want to try to listen to them at least once so I don't feel guilty.

There were a few anime I ALWAYS listened to both opening and closing themes.

One time for sure (nearly always), but each time is very rare.

If a song or the animation is soooo good it may happen, though.

By first episode of a series I watch opening and ending.

Otherwise it's not likely unless song and animation capture me... for example I always watched the op of Gunslinger Girl, and I could watch allday the op of Hidamari Sketch x365 :D

OP & ED? Always at least once, otherwise it depends on the song itself.

Mostly, no.

Maybe the first time I start watching the series. They have about 20 seconds to leave an impression before I start skipping them. If I really like the music, I'd just download the song.

First I watch it completely every of them and I skip them each episode. If it changes I watch it again too.

But if I like it very much sometimes my hand doesnt want to skip it :D For example Gundam 00's OP & EDs, Jigoku Shoujo & Futakomori's OPs, Higurashi no Naku Koro ni and especially Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai's OP was great I didnt wish to skip them :)

Same goes here..kinda time consuming you know...
Especially when the story really gets interesting.

I usually watch it though during my first and last episode.^^

When I marathon'd through Bleach, I skipped the ending figuring it was only a preview that followed. Well, I missed out on all those small extras they show after the preview. I didn't find out until around ep 130 or so :(

Ditto. I'll sit through them sometimes, like if I'm fiddling with something on the net or I just feel like it, but most of the time I skip anything that isn't new - recaps and previews and such as well.


same for me :)

though there's some endings that were so boring that I didn't even watch through them the first time

If the OP and the ED are good (like Soul Eater's) so probably yeah
To say the truth, I usually see the OP, but in some cases I skip it.
