Yeap, I watch both almost always, unless it' s really bad or I'm in some sort of rush...it's my only exposure to Japenese music as I don't listen to OST's or anything like that.

I almost never watch the ED, even if it's good. I stayed faithful to Clannad's ED because it's really touching, and some of the endings of Cardcaptor Sakura I also watched regularly. When I'm marathoning, then it's certain I don't watch EDs.

As for OPs, I would say I watch 15% of them. Notable ones are Minami-ke, Chrno Crusade, Spice and Wolf, Allison & Lillia, Gunslinger Girl (both seasons), Nabari no Ou, Ichigo Mashimaro, Seirei no Moribito, Nodame Cantabile, etc... If it's really catchy, then I'll watch it.

I generally skip the OP and ED unless I really like the song and animation. However, I'll watch them for the first episode at least.

I watch both the opening and ending once .. after that, I just skip them ...

... unless its the ending song of Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. I enjoyed the ending song more than the series itself. Their dance number is just hilarious, especially w/ Kyon's facial expression ^^

ALMOST! If I have playback problems (mostly with HD 720p and + files), I skip it.

I usually leave the opening song to play, since most of them are just that good.

as for ending songs, I usually skip it but I still watch it sometimes

Well you also have things like Kimi ga Nozomu Eien episode 2 or ef - a tale of memories episode 7 where you just can't seem to move after seeing the episode end and watch through the ED anyways. :D

Some of SaiKano and Clannad's episodes also do this.

It really depends on the songs. I normally watch the opening, but not the ending. Sometimes, though, an anime is just not the same without one or the other, or both.

it determines the show, for some the OP and ED are very good to get you in the mood and sometimes I skip it every time if I dont like it

I usually watch it fully on the first episode, and depending whether I like it or not I may let it play again, but most of the times I just skip it XD

Nope, I don't. :3;; I usually skip the opening and ending to get to the beginning of the episode/preview of the next episode (if there is one).

I usually watch it fully when it's new. I'm usually too lazy to bother watching all of it though. I just watch it all if i really like the song or the animation.

I usually only watch it for the first few episodes of a show. Unless I really like it. For Spice and Wolf, I watched the OP almost every time because I liked it so much ^_^

Well if it's a good OP i usually watch it, if im not really that excited to see the new episode =P. I don't know but i usually skip EDs as you've already watched the episode, but I like the OPs more than the EDs as the songs in OPs seems to b better xD

I usually skip the openings and endings, unless they are actually pretty good/pleasant to the ears. In the past, I have listened to an opening like, for the first 6 episodes, then started skipping it when I got bored of it.

I usually only watch the OP and ED once, unless I really like it like xxxHolic's 1st OP and the OP and ED of Haruhi. If the OP or ED change, I'll definitely check out the new version, but other than that, I could care less, especially when I marathon an anime

I almost always watch the opening and ending once, and then never again. I have two major exceptions though. One is Ghost in the Shell - SAC, which has a totally awesome opening song and I watched it every time. The other is Mushishi, which not only has a really relaxing opening that really sets the mood of the show, but also has several different tunes that play during the ending credits (all of them good imo.)

The first time I see a show i'll watch the OP/ED. Most of the time i'll skip it after that unless the show gets a new OP/ED then i'll check that out too..but I always check after the ED of all animes for the preview or little skit at the end.

If I like the song I'll watch it most of the time, but if I'm on a day where I'm trying to squeeze in quite a few erpisodes then I'll most likely skip over them.

I watch both reguardless. I've yet to see one I really disliked that much to just skip it. I don't marathon but I can see where skipping them in that situation could save you a good 1/2 hour or more.

Gotta at least watch once, or if they're bad, I skip.

I'll watch it if I like the OP/ED song or if it's a new one for the series. Otherwise, I'll skip.

Maybe for the first time I'll watch both, then after I tend to skip. The only ones I can remember never skipping the beginning would be Baccano,Mushishi, Gankutsuou, Real Drive (I really like the OP, not sure why), and Trinity Blood (I memorized all the words XD). I used to watch all of the Cowboy Bebop OP but when I watched the series for the fourth time I didn't like it so much.

I always watched the ED of Black Lagoon.
