Off course not most of the time ! But if some are a little boring or just ordinary, yes i could skip, altrhough it's pretty rare. ( I love to listen op/ed and ost, i know by heart some, need to just listen a few times )

If it's unique and catchy then definitely. From the top of my memory I remember never skipping Tokyo Ghoul, Parasyte, Ao Haru Ride, Devilman Crybaby and Hanasakeru Seishounen

If it’s one that’s instantly grown on me, then no, but if it’s not grabbing me at all, then yes, simple as that ^^

Most of the time if it has a good song I won't skip it, even endings like this one

I never skip it.

most openings are a bunch of spoilers , in some cases with a very slow pace their opening can show more than a single ep of 20 minutes how crazy can it be. aff

People don't quite got this i think, but usually,

op/ed is there for credits, so you who can read the words and watch illegaly can at least know the peoples who contributes and work hard to entertain us by making the anime. Be grateful guys.

And if you notice, the op/ed sometimes better than the anime itself (and usually mediocre anime got a wonderful op).

Last, usually the op is there and created to get us hyped for the show, and to get us on the mood for the show.

But yeah, if the song is suck and the op lazily made, I'll skip it and somehow still feel guilty about it

And yes, I rarely skip the op/ed because I respect the one who made it,

And to make it easier to remember the song because I usually make a cover lol

you should have added an option "only if I don't like it" for example because most people me included don't skip or watch all openings

I always watch the opening at least once. If I like it I'll much likely listen to it every episode, otherwise I'll skip...

If the song is addicting or the art looks interesting, I watch them. Same goes with the endings.

I watch the OP the first few episodes, and unless they're super catchy or memorable, I will skip them.

I skip them cause they usually reveal a lot about the story beforehand.

Mostly yes. Because the singers are annoying asf, and the visuals mainly just consist of shots of generic character poses (Drifters did it great thought) and fight scenes.

When the song is to my liking, I never skip throughout the show.
Even if I don't like the song at first time, I give it 3 chance. Because there're some songs I became to like when listening repetitively.
After 3 times and I still don't like the song, I skip it everytime.

I watch them because usually they are used during a really impactful moment as a motif, and they can come in handy during really important scenes in the finale of a show.

I watch every openings.I promised myself not to skip any of them.Plus,I enjoy almost all of them so that's not a problem
If I skipped one opening,then that opening
has done a really great job at being bad
So far I only encountered one opening that
done such a good job

For me it just depends on the opening cause some are just garbage, so i just skip them. Some are amazing so i watched them all throughout the season, but in some cases the opening is decent and i watch it for half the series and skip it.

With the exception of a select few animes, I skip most. And thats because I want to watch the anime, and I don't care about 1 and a half minutes of anime that contributes nothing to the plot.

I'm simple. I always watch every opening at least once, if it sounds good i'll listen to it multiple times, but if I don't like it, i'll skip it.

Well a general rule for me is that I always listen to the OP and ED on the first episode as a test, if by any chance I enjoyed them I'll listen to them at some point along the anime but not every on every episode since it gets boring, besides the fact that the OP usually has many spoilers and I wouldn't want that.

And in case the show was really enjoyable, I'd listen to both on the last episode so I could end it with a sense of satisfaction, for one last time.

I only watch them for first 2 to 3 episodes and after that I skip them even if I loved some Op so much I still skip it, and it's because I don't want to waste my time, I am more interested in watching the episode and besides I have whole playlist of all of my favourite anime songs, I listen to them in my free time

Depends how good the OP is. If I jam with it I'll watch it every single episode but if it's bad or I get sick of it after a few eps I'll skip.
