Do you want anime opening to be removed from anime?

This is a petition to remove anime openings from anime.

Up to 10 years ago anime opening were fine. At that time anime was mainly distributed by fansubbers. You could either watch the opening, and reading the actual meaning behind the song thanks the translations made by the fansubber, or simply press a button in mpv player and skip the 1:30 minutes of the opening, going straight to the episode itself Very easy.

Today, however, you can only watch anime in streaming, so this has become more problematic. If you want to skip the opening every time you have to go blind, you have to select a point further on in the video timer bar and wait and hope it is the right point. If you go too far or too far back you have to try again and waste a lot of time. While if you give up on this and simply surrender to watch the opening you don't even have the karaoke translation to keep your company. Also, most of the openings suck.

For these reasons I open this survey to ask you if it makes sense to remove the openings. The endings can remain as they do not cause this annoyance.

I love openings. They have great visuals and nice songs. I've never had an issue with them at all, and I never skip them. However, I do understand why you might not like them. Also, skipping openings is pretty easy using the arrow keys.

If you had added "title sequences" to the end of your post, I would have agreed with you. I don't feel like getting spoiled the minute the anime starts lol. Worse with shounen series.

I think you need to just suck it up and master the guesswork required. Don't arrow keys skip like 10 seconds or something as well? There's usually small lines in my media player/files that you can click to if you want to skip the opening. Not sure if it's on streaming services though.

I torrent and am proud of it™

Seems like it's a you problem. If I want to skip an opening on a streaming site I can skip it with no problem at all.

People intentionally skipped openings 10 years ago? Wow, that isn't good. Be glad you can listen and watch the opening now without going straight to the episode itself.

Also, Japan doesn't care about your petition.

I like openings. They can create excitement and expectation for the events that are to come for a particular season. Plus, there can be some real banger openings or just really good songs in general.

I don’t mind them but I hate it when they show the whole characters in the opening at the start when they haven’t been introduced yet, it’s a lazy move from the creators.

It would be better if they add new ones in the next few episodes only when they have been introduced

You can jump to the last episode of the anime you're watching, most of them are aired without the opening. Problem solved

Are you sure most openings suck, or are you just watching shows with crappy openings? Questions to ask..

Also...it's not that hard to skip a minute and half ahead manually.

Oh, quit whining, you big baby. If they really bug you that much, just remember that most openings are roughly 90 seconds long and skip ahead that far. Trust me, you will be just fine...

If you are going to start a petition, though, then make it to remove spoilers from openings. That shit is annoying as fuck.

Just take the time the OP starts and go to 1 minute and 30 seconds later?

Personally, i love openings, they're typically a great way to foreshadow things that will happen in the arc.

And they can be helpful in deciding if you want to watch a sries or not.

We're freaking out that we're running out of time, but to do what? Should i stop and think of that? Is there something i could do to slow it down? Live in a day for once, instead of watch it sprinting by

I love OPs, even if it's a minority that are really incredible and memorable. To some extent beyond independent musical quality it also has some connection to the extent to which you actually identify with the series.

The only thing I dislike however is the seemingly modern trend of placing the opening after a minute, a minute and a half, or a few minutes into the episode. I just like to have it over with and have the entirety of the episode uninterrupted. It feels intrusive and out of order (OCD thing).

I believe that openings are a fundamental part of anime. Not only do the visuals often give added context to the show, but openings (and endings) are also usually used as theme songs to represent an anime/part of an anime.

Take Jojo's as an example; part four wouldn't feel the same without the funky visuals and sound of the first opening: 'CRAZY NOISY BIZZARE TOWN.'

Obviously, music is subjective; therefore, some openings might not appeal to everybody, but I still feel openings (especially when watching an anime while it's airing) help shape the feel and flow of the anime.

Now, if you don't like openings because they are often left untranslated on streaming platforms, you can easily look up translations for said openings or look up the romanji to sing along. Then again, as I mentioned before, you can appreciate the art and visuals (which are also a part of openings).

Thank you for your post. <3
