| No, I only skip recaps if it’s a .5 episode or a full recap movie. |
 |
| I always skip recaps because I don't usually watch things as they're ongoing, so why watch a recap for something that I just watched minutes ago? A day ago even. The only time I wouldn't skip a recap if its legitimately been like months since I watched the show. |
| I usually skip them, because they are kinda waste of time. |
 |
| Sometimes i skip them, sometime i let it play while i'm finding snacks. |
 |
| Depends on how long it has been since i watched the last episode |

| No. I don't skip even the opening... |
 |
| Yes, unless it's been a while since I watched the episode being recapped. |
| I skip everything that's skippable: opening, intro, recap, recap episodes, stretched scenes, annoying scenes, stupid scenes etc |
| If they are longer than few minutes I skip them |
| Yeah not a fan of recaps since I rarely watch shows that are still airing. Prefer to watch them in bulk than dying of waiting every week. |

| Depends. If I had taken a break from an anime between episodes or waited 1+ week than I don't mind a short recap to remind me what has happened. If I am doing a marathon going by all 12-24+ episodes at once than I am skipping the recap as I've just watched it in previous episodes. |
takamono said: Same here, unless the recap episode/movie add something new and interesting content to it.No, I only skip recaps if it’s a .5 episode or a full recap movie. |
| Usually yes, but only if i remember all the essentials. |
 |
| Yes. There has never and never will be any point in recaps. Unfortunately, sometimes these recaps end up being the entire episode. |

| When binging I always do for obvious reason. Otherwise if I don't clearly remember what happened before, which almost never happenes. |
 |
| I don't watch the recaps unless I know it's been awhile since I've touched the series. With One Piece I take loooong breaks, and everytime I am catching up I'll watch the recaps and only then is it helpful to remind me what's been going on in the series. |
| desu desu binches |
| Only if it's too long, like, over 30 seconds long |
 |
| If it's something airing, no. If it's something older or has finished airing, maybe if I forgot but I generally have a good memory of what occurred previously. |

| Most of the time yes. I mean 70% of the time I skip the opening song. Unless the song is subjectively brilliant. |
| If it's only a few minutes then no, I may skip if it's at least half an episode. |
| Never skip them. Rationale: Those scenes picked by the director are what they consider to be "key scenes" and important. Quite often this includes foreshadowings or other hints. Or the cut sequence reveals a story detail I may have missed otherwise. Having a condensed 1-2 minute version of the story is really useful in grasping complexity. |

| Yes no matter how long or short it is. |
| I don't skip it when watching weekly(ongoing series) |
 |
| Yep since I p much binge if im watching anything |
| It depends.If I'm binge watching I skip them. If I'm seeing a new arc of that anime after a long time I actually find the recap useful ^^ |
| Yes,because what’s the deal with recaps? |
| If I'm binging, and just watched the last one yeah. If I watched it yesterday, or a few days ago I don't |
 |
| sometimes when i'm binging but never when i'm watching weekly. |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| Sometimes yes, they can add some useful info with commentaries there. |
 |
| i don't think i have ever , ever , ever watched a single recap or anime opening |
 |
| as as long it's not taking more than 4 minutes, i'm watching. even when marathoning. there's no reason not too. |
| Only thing I allow myself to skip are the Netflix translation credits. Otherwise, I watch everything. |
| Sometimes I skip the general summary or the previous synopsis, sometimes I don't. Whether I skip or not depends on my mood and whether I have time to spare when I am watching an anime piece. ...... |
        |
| Obviously, also the opening and ending song, ain't nobody got time for that. |
| No, even when I binge watch I don't do that. |
| If I'm binging or watching an episodes a day then yeah I'll skip. I don't need a recap for something I've just watched. I also speed over recap episodes |
 |
| I do, I remember what they're recapping about from the previous episodes.. Every those that get delayed for months like ayakashi triangle |
 |
| most of the time yes. If I didn't watch for a certain period of time, and i need to refresh my memory then no. |
Morpheus: The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work... when you go to church... when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth. Neo: What truth? Morpheus: That you are a slave, Neo. |
No, I didn't even skip the Naruto fillers lol. |
 |
| It depends on how I'm watching the series; if it's a seasonal and I can't really remember much of what happened last ep, then I wouldn't. But if it were a series I was binge-watching, then I would since I can remember what happened last ep. |
| Yeah I do because find them boring and my memory is good enough to remember what happened even after a long time. |
| One Piece regular episode be like: 10 minutes recap of a previous episode, 1 minute of new material, 10 minutes preview for the next episode. |
