| For example a specific cliche you hate so much that you skip it everytime you see it in any anime. For me this "Walk in right when girl is dressing who starts panicking like she's about to get raped" is what I really hate Everytime I see this, I just skip 1-2 mins from that point. |
 |
| yes; everything but the opening and ending themes |
 |
| Well the OP and ED when I've already seen the same one before is usually an automatic skip 90 seconds forwards. I'd imagine the same is true for most people Other than that, not really. Skipping actual new content feels wrong to me. Although if there's one thing I genuinely struggle to watch is whenever someone seemingly messes up a stage performance of some sort in front of a live audience since that triggers a phobia of mine |
  |
| -Opening and Endings unless I like the song -Recap episodes -Long uninteresting filler arcs in long series |
| "The name's Gambit. Remember it." -Gambit "X-Men '97"  |
| The opening and ending-they usually don't add a fucking thing to the show except to consume time. |
| Life Is Short But Intense. |
| I usually skip the final episode and make up my own ending instead. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) |

| I usually don't skip anything, not even OPs/EDs. I occasionally skip those if I dislike them though. But it's rare. Beyond that I have nothing in terms of story or tropes I would skip. One can never know if they won't miss something good that way, after all. I will rather put up with scene I dislike than risk that. |
| Not me, but some of my friends will skip every moment that has any dancing/ idolish vibes |

BlakexEkalb said: I skip the openings too since they're typically obnoxious and cringy music.I always skip the endings of anime. Sorry, but I would rather get to the next episode than watch an ending. Openings differ as they are usually hyping you up for the show. |
 It is obvious that "obscenity" is not a term capable of exact legal definition; in the practice of the courts, it means "anything that shocks the magistrate". — Bertrand Russell |
| I usually skip over any action animes. I still watch them, but they have to show up a hundred times and people have to keep telling me to watch till I give in. Still haven't seen FMA:B till this day. Greyleaf said: This is not real greyleaf. You actually do this?!I usually skip the final episode and make up my own ending instead. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) |

| i just skip the whole show why bother watching it |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| Idol/singing scenes in non idol anime. Aside from Senki Zesshou Symphogear and maybe Macross I can't stand singing in anime. This probably stems from my hatred of musicals. |
| The opening, the ending, the filler. |
| Openings and endings that I don't like much, recaps, flashbacks, summaries and previews |
| I skip the op or ed if it sucks. There are no types of scenes that I skip though, because if a show has too many scenes like that I will just get annoyed and drop it. |
 |
| - Openings and endings, unless I really like them - Summaries of previous episodes And there is one thing in particular: Endless Eight. I like the concept of it and it was okay the first time around, but there's no way I'm going through it again. Maybe, just maybe, if I haven't watched it in years. |
| You're a louse, Roger Smith. - R. Dorothy Wayneright This is my fight! No Senpai, this is our fight! - Kojou Akatsuki & Yukina Himeragi  |
| I only skip previews for the next episode when I'm binging a show. |
| OPs and EDs. Sometimes the first 30 seconds of an episode when I'm watching it right after the last and it's just the last 30 seconds of the previous one. |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| opening has to be really good for me to watch it, sth like Unravel from Tokyo Ghoul; other than that I skip the OP and I always skip the ending |
| If I feel the need to skip a few minutes to avoid something, the series is as good as dropped. |
I'm also filled with pure-hearted ulterior motives. |
| I watch it on 2x~4x speed when it's just plot. Skip an entire action scene when it's poorly done or too vanilla for my taste. Oh I'm talking about hentai. |
 |
| Endings most of the time, unless the song is catchy since the very first seconds and remains catchy until the end. |
| Nobody skipping the transformation sequences in magical girl show ? |
 |
| I always skip the OP and ED from episode 2 till the second last one, the first one and last one I never skip OP/ED |
  "O kawaii koto" ( ´• ᴗ •` ) I wish i could love myself~ |

| always skip the opening and ending song (i only watch and hear it once or twice) but when the song really enjoyable and ear catching, i never skip lol ah, i always skip preview for the next episode or previous episode. plz -,- |
| The commercial break if there is one: always. The opening, it depends (I tend to skip it after the 1st episode when I'm watching DVDs: ease of convenience and having 4-5 episodes/disc push me to). The ending, it depends (for DVD boxes, past the ep n°1, always, unless it's Next preview? I always test the first one then based on it (the way it is told notably) I decide what to do. For Tomino series, I just skip it. The summary episode? No. Unless it's Wolf's Rain. |
| I don't skip anything. If I'm not interested in something, I just drop it... |
| I usually skip the OP/ED if I don't like it! |
 |
| i only skip recaps since they are worthless for active viewers sometimes i skip openings if they are too long |
| after watching it once i skip the OP and ED plus they can give out spoilers |
| This is specific to one anime but.... As much as love Zettai Unmei Mokushiroku, I do not want to watch the entire transformation scene that's like two minutes long in every single episode. So I guess overly long repeated transformation sequences? But the only show they've really been a problem for me is aforementioned Revolutionary Girl Utena. |
| Fillers when they aren't good. Sometimes the OPs when I'm hyped to watch the episode. Recap episodes. |
 |
| @greyleaf sheesh, honestly I've seen all sorts of people on MAL since I started using the forums. It reminds me of animes with open endings up for interpretation. Could be something someone on MAL is interested in! Robinne said: You mean skipping to the transformation sequences?Nobody skipping the transformation sequences in magical girl show ? THICKTOMATOSAUCE said: Specially on a series like One Piece where the first 6 minutes of every episode is recap and intro.i only skip recaps since they are worthless for active viewers sometimes i skip openings if they are too long |
| “The world is full of nice people. If you can't find one, be one.” ― Nishan Panwar 8=D ~ O: |
| I don't skip things within the episode itself. Mainly just openings and endings, with a few exceptions. |
| OPs and EDs, not always, but nearly. OPs way more than EDs. |
| "This emotion is mine alone. It is for Madoka alone." - Homura or how I would descripe Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. |
| -Openings and endings -Characters who constantly repeat themselves to the point of getting really tiring (Bonus points if they're obnoxious as fuck) -Transformation scenes (Because it's just reused animation, so I don't see the point of seeing the same thing over and over again without skimming, unless I see a new transformation for the first time) -Accidental pervert scenes (Do I need to explain this one?) -Summaries from the previous episode -Characters who show their "love" towards the person they're in love with by being an abusive asshole *CoughbadlywrittenTsunderecharacterscough* -Characters who're intentionally being a pervert without the other persons' consent, especially if it's played for laughs |
