When I first got into anime I always thought it was a waste of time and always skipped op and ed, but the past year stopped skipping them.
What about you guys?

Nope, I never skip them
They're part of the show
If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time.

Watch more movies, please.

Perhaps, this is hell.

Yes i skip them.
I don't think they add anything to an anime and i find them massive spoilers.
Usually you see characters that won't appear till way into the anime and some of them even show events that didn't happen yet.
I usually don't like the music in them either but that's just my personal taste.

If the song is good then no, but if it is then yes.
But majority of the time the song they picked are good.

I never skip op's but generally I do skip ed's when I know I'll watch many episodes in a row sometimes I watch them to catch a breather, unless the ed is really catchy.

Ye i do the same thing I might give it 3 chances(there's been plenty of times where I didnt like it but ended up growing on me by the third ep) but if I don't like it by then I stop listening to it.

This might sound weird but when it's time for OPs and EDs, I don't skip them but I don't look at them because I don't want to be spoiled by the characters that has not appeared yet. I do listen to the songs though.

You can try doing what I do and just look, but turn your brain off. It works fine.

For me it depends on the OP and ED. Some songs I really love, others I don't. But I always watch the opening the first time I'm watching the anime, just to see if I like it.

When I first started watching Anime, I would skip the OP's and ED's I already knew. Now, I have stopped since they're part of the Anime itself. I found it regretful and I would never skip again.

Fuck no. I always watch the OP because it's part of the anime and because I know I'll end up liking the song. I usually just skip the ED and go on to the next episode unless the song is really good or if I'm on the last episode I always watch the ED completely at least once.

It's the other way around for me, I used to never skip them, nowadays I only watch each OP/ED once or twice and most of the time I'd skip them. Except if I really like it, then I don't skip.

99% of the time. Unless it's incredibly catchy, and it almost never is, it's 1 minute 30 seconds wasted listening to the same thing for 12 episodes. No thanks.

I mostly watch or listen to them. Openings usually set the mood for the episode and when the ending theme plays, you can digest what happened.

I always watch the openings, unless its really atrociously bad, and even then I try to sit through it. Endings is a bit different, if I watch seasonals, where I only have that one episode of the week I watch it, if I bingewatch a series, I watch it on the first and last episode usually.

Yes i do, I still belive they are a waste of time, it exist a lot of shows out there that could use the amount of time the OP and ED takes to create on more ep's.

Slam Dunk is a show where they could have adapted the last arc too if they ignored OP/ED and recap in each eps. I do belive people would rather see that then something that reapets 101 times.

But then again it exist a few shows where the ED's plays a huge part in the serie.
Etc Angle Beats, but did i care about those characters no.
But in a few cases the ED plays a part in the story, if it do I try to watch it.
But I normaly ignor it, as I'm not really a fan of it.

Good choice. That way you don't have to go through the pain of hearing Asta screaming. And the pain of watching the anime itself, of course.

I've been told it kinda gets good later on. I wonder.

It depends on the op/ed, if i really like it I wont skip it most of the time, but I skip ones that aren't my favorite most of the time. I do however have somewhat of a tradition of watching the first and last Op/Ed in a show.
