Do you guys prefer anime opening songs or anime ending songs. List some examples. Running with the wind ed was a masterpiece

Depends on the Op/Ed. But i tend to skip ed's more often since im too lazy to watch after the Episode finished.

I find that openings are more enjoyable to watch most of the time, while the ending can be slow and doesn't have a lot of animation so I tend to skip them, however, there are exceptions where the ed outshines the op.
Overall I don't skip good openings so I'm going to heaven

Based on my experience I am more likely to skip the ending song than the opening song, however I would not say I prefer one over the other as there are amazing opening and ending songs.

I much prefer the OPs over EDs. But that does not mean there arent ton of generic OPs or EDs i do not like. But i tend to try to watch OP once and skip the ed to quickly watch the next ep or do something else. i only have a handful of EDs that i like whereas OP is a lot.

How, How, How, is this clickbait? Would you like me to write an essay with references on why I believe that eds are better than openings because I sure as hell can do that.

Well, okay, apparently there was something different in the OP but right now it just looks like the title is opinion clickbait and the OP is "here's a question for you".

As for OP and ED I like both equally in general. (It varies by show obviously.)

Openings from AOT, Naruto, Black Clover, Kaguya sama, Oregairu and SAO.
Ending from Code Geass, Re Zero and Angel Beats are great too.

This has been happening a lot lately. To be honest we need an anti-clickbait rule or something. This actually isn't the worst offender but there's some threads where the title has nothing to do with the thread. There's such a thing as good and bad clickbait.

I usually watch the OP once when they are first shown in the episode and depending whether or not I like it, I skip or don't skip. Between OPs and EDs, most of the time OPs are better. Also, hilarious to see some snowflakes getting butt hurt over the ciclkbait lmao.

I probably lean slightly more to openings 60/40 since generally more anime has more eds than ops vs the other way around which usually means more mediocre endings are made.

If endings focused more on making instrumentals then I'll change my mind.

I watch OP/ED at least once no matter what the quality. Sometimes they have hints/foreshadowing. If I like it I may watch it more, but not every episode (Aria being the exception because it really sets the mood). Have probably watched the Angel Beats and Steins;Gate OPs dozens of times each on Youtube just because I like the songs.

I don't even remember that ED. I am sure that Afro Gunsou is better ED than that.

Good clickbait, I bought it.

I like anime OPs more than EDs in general, but there are certain shows where I like the ED better.

OP and ED of AoT S4 are very good.

Favorite OPs:
Unravel-Tokyo Ghoul
God of High School
Daddy Daddy Do- Kaguya-sama
Needle Knot-IWGP
Moriarty the Patriot 2nd season
Haikyuu

Favorite ED:
Angels of Death
In/Spectre

And many more.

The only ops I didn't skip were NGE and the extremely underappreciated op of Ayakashi: Japanese Classic Horror. I'd say ops can set up excitement for the episode but once the episode is done I want to get to the next one so I skip the ed.

I may have missed something but if it was related to Kimetsu yes, the ending is significantly better than the opening.
