| I have two sides. Choose wisely. |
| Don't know if this has been done yet but whatever, leave the mods up to that.... Of course, it depends on what the opening is, for stuff like Shakugan no Shana II or Lucky Star, yes, I will always watch the opening because the song and the animation are awesome. For some other shows however, like Rozen Maiden, I could care less... Same with endings, although I tend to skip endings more than openings. |
| Not usually, unless I really love the opening song and animation. If I'm marathoning episodes, I don't even bother with OPs/EDs/previews. |
     |
| Unless I really hate the opening I'll always watch it and unless I really like the ending I will always skip it....>_> |
 |
| always watch, unless i really hate it =) |
| When normally watching episodes, I always watch the OP and atleast the first half of the ED. If I marathon a series, I usually start skipping the OP and ED after the 5th episode in a row. I really do enjoy the OP and EDs. A couple times, I've even picked up a series because of the OP or ED song. Only in a few cases (like Samurai Champloo or Cowboy Bebop) have I regularly skipped the OP because it actively annoyed me. |
  |
| if i like it... then probably yes... though most animes i download, even if i like, ill tend to skip because i have it downloaded.. i can rewatch any time. usualy skipp endings to previews. |

| Usually, when I first start a show, I'll watch the OP/ED just to, you know, see how it is. Then depending on whether I like it or not, I might watch it every episode after that. Sometimes though, especially for endings, I'm just too damn impatient and I want to watch the next episode so I end up skipping them x_x |

Sometimes though, especially for endings, I'm just too damn impatient and I want to watch the next episode so I end up skipping them x_x Me too! When it was my first time to watch the series i will watch the opening and ending song even if its not good. But when i like it i always watch or hear it.. |
| I have two sides. Choose wisely. |
| It really depends on the show and song for me. Most shows i would watch every new op/ed the first time and then skip them until the last episode where i would watch it. Then there are some shows, like Shakugan no Shana II, where I like the op and will sometimes watch it, but will skip it if I'm excited and want to hurry to watch the episode. And then there are those few shows, like Kimi Kiss Pure Rouge where I will watch it every time. |
 |
| I watch the opening first few times to see if I like it. If not I normally skip it. Same with ending, but I check if there is some skit or something on the end (shinigami illustrated style) since I try and avoid the previews for the next episode. |
     |
| 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. |
| The question is too broad for me to answer. There are hundreds of shows I've watched and they have different opening and ending. It depends. First off, if I like the song/music, I let it play or otherwise skip it. If it's good, it feels like a waste when I skip it. Second, when I marathon show most of the time I skip the ending and then opening so it won't break the mood. :) |
 |
| I like watching the OP and ED sequences, mostly because music is very important to me when I watch anime. I skip it sometimes when I'm in a hurry though.. |
| ^_^ |
i usually skip the opening, and even more often i skip the endings, unless i really like the song that it's playing, the only anime so far that i've watched the OP and ED every time is The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya |
| OP: Always with Ep. 1 and usually onward. Near the end, I'll start skipping them. ED: Always with Ep. 1 and usually I'll skip it after that unless it's really good, which is why I almost never see next episode previews. |
| My first novel, Kardia has been published! Click here to read! |
| I always watch the OP/EDs at least once, but then I usually skip them. If I like the songs, I'd rather just get the soundtrack than sit there and watch OP/EDs with every episode. |

I always watch the OP/EDs at least once, but then I usually skip them. If I like the songs, I'd rather just get the soundtrack than sit there and watch OP/EDs with every episode. 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. |
 |
| I always watch the OP or ED even if I hate them. If I watched the opening and then some of the episode, but had to stop it for whatever reason, then I'll skip the opening when I start it over. But I have ocd so if I skip the OP or ED then it bothers me and I can't really enjoy it. |
 |
| I almost always watch the OP unless I really dislike it (ie, Love Hina). The ED can go either way. If it doesn't tickle my fancy after one or two hearings, I tend to skip it. Sometimes halfway through the series I'll listen to it more, though. Of course, that's all nil if I love the ED. :P |

kasumisama said: I always watch the OP/EDs at least once, but then I usually skip them. If I like the songs, I'd rather just get the soundtrack than sit there and watch OP/EDs with every episode. Same here. I tend to watch them at the first and last episodes of a marathon and skip them for the rest. |
| I usually watch the intro and ending for the first episode. Then, after that depending on if the last episode left me with a huge cliffhanger determines whether I skip the intro. I usually always skip the end unless if I really like the song. |
      |
| If I watch 1 episode weekly when it comes out, I'll always watch it. If marathoning I watch it the first ep then skip it throughout unless there's a new opening and...the cycle continues. |
   |
| I'll always watch them both unless I really, really dislike the accompanying song; and that only happens very rarely (Shigofumi's OP is a good recent example though; I do not like Ali Project at all, their music grates on my ears like nothing I've heard before) |
| I usually skip through openings and endings when my mouse is close by, if I'm watching on my TV and I'm too lazy, I'll just watch them. If I'm sitting at my computer, I'll either skip them or check forums and such while the ending, previews and the next opening plays and continue watching when the next episode starts playing. It all depends on how much I like the opening or ending as well, or if in some cases the ending is sometimes different(Lucky Star for example) or if there is some sort of continuation of the anime after the ending(I think Pani Poni Dash did this, as well as slightly different endings)... |
 |
| I always watch the OP, but I never watch the EDs unless I really like them (such as in Claymore and Death Note) |
| Depends on if it's cool or not. I would watch the OP from Elfen Lied every time because it set the mood really well. |
| if i like the opening and ending, i watch them. if i think they're nothing special, i watch them sometimes. and if i don't like them, i skip them XD but i watch the opening and ending at least once x3 |
| I always watch the OP & ED song once. If the song is good, I will watch it in every episode until I get bored. |
 |
| Depends on the OP & ED song. If i like them, i will watch them every episode. If i dont like them, ill skip them. But i watch more OP's then ED's...dunno why. |

| 80% of the time i watch the opening, unless i really dont like it, or its the end of the series / a climactic part of the show. then i'll skip it and hury to the episode , unless its a series that has an amazing opening. endings i skip when i'm marathoning, or i let it play in the background while i go on internet explorer. i never see episode previews (unless im following a weekly show) of course if the ending is really good i'll watch it. but most of the time i dont even sit through the ending once. |
| I watch them at least once and then I end up skipping the rest. |
 |
| I usually watch the openings, but the endings I'll skip unless the episode was really good. It helps set up the mood or finish the episode off. |
 |
| I usually watch both opening and endings... unless i don't like it. When i marathon series.. i usually watch the opening and ending few times and then skip it all. |
 |
| I usually do if i like the opening and ending songs. Sometimes though if im in a hurry to watch the episode then i'll skip them. Usually though with any anime i watch i watch the op and ending atleast once, and if i dislike them then i skip them from then onwards. |
     |
| I almost always watch the openings and endings. If I like them I sing along, if I don't I spend the time to find something to eat or drink XD |
| I only watch it at the start of a new anime, after that i usually don't as i've seen it before. The exception is if the starting sequence changes half way through! |
 |
| I usually don't watch the OPs or EDs now, I haven't found one that I really like in a while. I sample it, watch and listen for somewhere around thirty seconds, if I don't like it then I never watch it again. |
 |
| I like 99.9999% always watch the OP/ED. |
| First episode - always. But there are some OP/ED that I don't really like so I just skip it , like TTGL 1st ED xD, although I watched TTGL OP every single time I rewatch and rewatch and rewatch..... Sorairo Days rocks! |
   |
| I always watch them the first time, then when the next episode comes around I do whichever I feel like at the moment, which is usually skipping. When I'm watching full DVDs, I usually just watch the OP of the first episode on the disc and the ED on the last. |
