I watch the OP and the ED on the first episode. Then if I liked them I keep watching them for the next 5 eps. If not I just skip them.
When Im doing other stuff on the internet I just let them play while I carry on with my things and then when the anime really starts I go back to it. :3

I usually do espiecally, when I watch new series to see if its good enough to download or go godsmack about it. I'm in love with all the D.Gray-man OP/EN <3

Depends. If I am in love with either of the OP or ED, I'll listen to them everytime. If they hurt my ear, well, I think you can guess XD

I usually watch the opening song because sometime you can see the whole entire series of anime by just watching the opening. Also, sometime the opening will hint something important in the series.

I normally skip it unless it's new or it's a new ep. ^^ Always try to enjoy every last bit of it if I have to wait for another episode. Want it to last as long as it can.

If I'm marathoning, usually not. If I'm watching on a weekly basis, yes. If I'm watching with someone else, yes.

Yes, unless I really can't stand it, which is pretty rare. For example, the current Bleach ending I cannot stand.

I only watch the op and ed sequences for the first time (first ep and then every time there's a new one), and after that I skip it. Even if I love it, I want to get right to the episode.. ^^

If I marathon a complete series, then I skip the op/end song.
But when I watch an episode per week I watch at least the opening.

Well usually when it's the first episode of an Anime I watch the Opening and the Ending and I do the same when it's the last episode. Other than that I just leave the song on while I do whatever; MSN, Facebook, Forums etc. When the song ends, watch the anime of course.

I almost always watch the OP and even the ED but not when I am marathoning a series or about to end one. In such cases I will skip them. But many a time I will just watch the OP if it really appeals to me.

I usually skip all OPs and EDs. Only when I like a series so much, I would watch the OP or ED via YouTube.

depends on quality of song
but if you listen to something that awesome as Wind (from naruto.. :)) after every episode it creates beautiful connection between song, anime and your feelings towards it and every time you hear it it will be like your first time watching that anime :)

Me too. If I do love the op or ed then I look elsewhere for the full versions :)

depends on the song.
if i like it i will watch it,
and probably check out the name of the band and the other songs they did.

i also play the opening/ending songs during anime marathons ... coz that's the time to pee or grab a snack ^_^

I normally listen to the opening song the first time through. If I like the music, I'll watch it almost every time. If I don't, then I'll most likely skip it from then on. ...Except in the case of Spiral, where I didn't even watch it the first time. I heard a little bit of the singing and decided to skip. ._.;

As for endings, I only watch them on the last episode of a season or series. No reason behind it, really.

I usually just start the episode and while the OP is playing I skim quickly over the spam forum and listen to the song in the meanwhile. I do watch the OP and ED when it's the first episode i watch or when a new OP/ED is added...

I watched them at the first episode and if there are new ones. They are the artworks of the creators that tells about the anime with music the appropriate music

I usually watch them, especially if I like them. But often, when the anime is at its climax or in a critical episode I skip the opening.

Quite simply, if I like them. I almost always watch the OP/ED at the first episode, just to see what they're like.
