Pretty much 100% of the time I'll let it run. Most of the time I watch the openings but sometimes I'll just minimize it and let the song play.

I always watch them in the first episode of the series.
If I like them, I will always watch them. If I don't I just skip ahead to the episode/preview.

I skip the OP/EN only if I haven't seen it already.
If it's new I'll watch it.
But if it's something corny, or soft, I usually just skip.

Depends on the show, and how much I like the OP, but as a general rule I watch the OP/ED every time on the first episode, and the last episode to sort of cap it off. Other than that it depends on whether I'm marathoning a show or not whether I watch the OP/ED every time.

I pretty much always watch the OP/ED at least once, some I skip right away if it's looking pretty bad within the first 30 seconds or so, and if I enjoy them I'll most likely watch them everytime I watch a new episode of the show.

I always watch the OP unless I'm in a hurry to finish the ep, but I hardly ever watch the ED (Except with Clannad, I always watch Dango xD)

usually dont watch the opening or ending. Sometimes I dont even watch it first time, watch like 5-10 secs. It better be good if I am going to watch it :)

But if it is really good I can watch it every time

I usually watch it or at least listen to it while I'm updating my Anime list.
I like the watch the Previews although it sometimes mean I watch the next episode even though i should only be watching one.
If I'm Marathoning a show i usually watch the first 3 or 4 and then just skip as i cant wait to get to the next episode.

I really do enjoy the OP and EDs. A couple times, I've even picked up a series because of the OP or ED song. Only in a few cases (like Samurai Champloo or Cowboy Bebop) have I regularly skipped the OP because it actively annoyed me.


I can't tell if you did this on purpose or what, but man. You do know that CB's OP is considered one of the best by a lot of people? Personally I got sick of it after a while, but still. Bad bad bad opinions. This site, oh man this site. Where Cowboy Bebop is only 'ok'.

Anyway, I generally watch OPs every time, unless I really don't like them. EDs not so much.

Also known as Monster in a box, but I hate that handle...and it doesn't fit here.

Rarely. I used to do that, but not anymore. Now, I only watch the themes during the first episode and when they are changed. Other than that, I only watch the actual episode, the preview, and any other extras (like after the CCS episodes in the first half or so).

Never skip the OP's of an anime, but I almost always skip the ED's. Save for Zetsubou Sensei's ED's. xD

I usually watch them. Of course, if there are songs that I can't stand (such as the op and ed from haruhi), I watch them once or twice then skip. Also, if I'm marathoning something and I'm really curious about what's going to happen next, I tend to skip them. But that happens very rarely.

Most of the times no. Not even on the first episode. Only if the first lets say 10 secs are good i can consider watching the opening but normally i just DL the music.

Ending - depends on how good the ending actually is.

I watch the OP and ED to the first and last episode of any anime at least. If it changed in the middle i'll watch it there too and if I like it or love it I'll end up listening to it every time, no matter how drawn in I am.

Most of the times I don't, when it's the first episode I listen to the first few seconds to see if it's a nice song, I never listen to the endings, except for the ending of ghost hound ^_^

Most of the time I watch every episode all the way through. Usually I only skip the opening or ending if I'm re-watching it. Even then, if I really like it I'll watch it. Otherwise I only skip openings and endings for long series like Bleach, Naruto, Inuyasha, etc.

If the OP and ED sequences are animated well and have nice music, I'll watch them nearly every time. But as OPs and EDs like that are few, I skip them for the majority of the anime I watch.
Oh but for the last few episodes or so I ALWAYS watch the OP and ED, for memories' sake. xD

I will always watch the OP and ED, even if I dislike it. After all, the OPs and EDs are a part of the anime. If I like it, that's a bonus.

I will always watch it at least once..however if it is the 30th or 100th time in a row even the best OP or ED will get old and annoying which is why I like when anime's change every season..of course this also can be a two edged sword as it could go from good to er..not so good..or rarely from not so good to good.
