Why would you watch an anime opening every time you watch an episode. It takes up 1-2 minutes of your time. Skip 'em. That's what I do.

My thoughts exactly ^

I also find that the openings contain spoilers which I try to avoid

Depends on the op song if it's good or not.

i'm usually like you. i'll watch it for like.. half the series or till i'm over it.
unless i really like the op. like those "top 100 anime OPs you could never skip" (in my case it's peace sign from bnha lol)
or i'll let it play so i can do something else for a minute and twenty seconds like grab a snack or something, hahah

I only watch it the first time, every time after that I will skip, because I just don't care.

I watch them once or twice, whether I like it or not, then skip them. It's not gonna change, if I REALLY like the opening then I'll just let it play in the background. I never liked intros for anything, unless you're new to watching something I can understand, but you already know what you're watching just get to it.

Normally I just watch the opening the first time and skip it the rest, but there have been a few exceptions.

I always skip openings; I just want to watch my anime. If I wanted to, I'd listen to them on youtube when I have the chance.

Depends, when i like the soundtrack i often watch til the end.
Like HxH, Danganronpa, Death parade, Phantom World, et cetera.

But if not, just skip, i don't like losing 1 minute watching it again everytime.

Yep same.

Also I listen to the opening song to see if I like it or not. Then I can just download it and have it on my phone lol.

When I first started watching I skipped most but at some point I just started watching every op and ed no matter what. If it is something that I don't like or care for I just look at my phone or something. So many OP/ED songs I have grown to like more than music I have ever listened too.

It depends. I definitely listen to the OP if it's my first time watching it. If I am marathoning an anime than I usually skip the OP and the ED after the first listen. This is usually what I do unless I really love the OP.

It depends on how nice the song is. Sometimes I'll only watch it once and other times I'll listen to it every episode.

No! I usually like the songs, unless it's bad. Though that's rare for me.

Very true, it gets quite boring if the op and ending is always the samw

Depends. I usually watch openings most of the time.

I skip them when I binge watch too many episodes or if the opening is shit.

I skip endings whether they are good or bad

Usually I skip, but if I like the song then I'll listen to it for like half the season, find out its full version, listen the heck out of it and get bored of it.

Then skip for the rest.

I rarely skip anime OP and ED songs unless I really don't like the song.Normally I'll just browse the internet while the OP/ED is playing.

Well if I like the opening I watch it. Just like anything else, if a person likes it he/she watches unless we are forced to watch it...

I remember watching the opening of Naruto, Noragami, Shokugeku no soma, pokemon, Made in abyss to name a few....

Mostly skip it unless it's really catchy.
That catchy i mentioned are like 10% lesser.
No offense but majority of anime OP are pretty mediocre and lame ass.
When it comes to "Sound" you should praise the VA and Ost than the OP.

I appreciate people who pay attention to ost, but oh god. Openings? Really? Watch anime for the OPENING?

Though at some case i must admit shounen crap like Naruto have like their 80% of OP catchy.

Yes. Some openings contain spoilers and other important events that will take place. I just watch openings when I completed the series.

It really depends. I find it much easier to watch the whole opening if I'm watching it weekly. Binging 50 episodes of One Piece and watching the whole 1/3 of an episode opening every time is not something I'll ever do.

Saying that, there's some shows that I'd never skip the opening even if they were 5000 episodes long (cowboy bebop & trigun, for example).

In general, I skip them, but I have exceptions.
I will always watch the opening and ending for the first episode but if I watch it after depends. It would have to be catchy, stunning or both. Sometimes I may just skip if I'm not in the mood or I want to binge watch a certain amount of episodes in a small time frame. I might even watch the OP/ED just to make connections to the story.

I picked up Monster cause I found out that David Sylvian did the first ED, I was really curious to see how a show that was able to get a musician like him would be like, and I was not disappointed (too bad the 2nd ed isn't as nice as the one Sylvian did, I always skip that one lol... oh wait we were talking about OPs, well same thing applies lol.)

If you do this, you're lying about the anime on your list. Because the Days stat is made from ENTIRE episode lengths. That includes the opening.

If I enjoy it then I will watch it every time. But if it isn't then I'll skip to the actual episode. I'll usually give it a few episodes before I do skip.

where's the "it depends" option??? lmao

the first time I pick an anime to watch (or when there's a new OP for an anime I already watch), I watch the entire opening. If I like the song, I watch it everytime. If I hate it, I skip it everytime (it buys me time :P)

Same thing with the ending (but to be honest, HARDLY EVER do I like endings. So the porcentage of endings skipped is far bigger than the openings lol)
