I've had this bad habit of skipping seconds of an episode cause I know what's going to happen. Either that, or it's too boring to watch. I don't know if it's cause I watch too much anime, or smth else but I just feel like skipping some seconds of the episodes. Does anyone else do this, or is it just me?

I normally don't watch the OPs and EDs (if the anime has those small recaps at the beginning I skip that too)

Sometimes I press FF in some action sequences that are just becoming too boring to watch; I don't care about the process, I just care about the results.

Like in Code Geass for example; I found myself skipping all the mecha-combats, I just couldn't care less about them. Who won? Period, that's all I wanted to see and know.

I sometimes skip Openings, most times skip endings unless good/not in an hurry and sometimes skip recaps if they're long.

Skip OP and ED after the 3rd or 4th episode. As long as the anime remains interesting, I'll never skip a sec. But if the anime is easily predictable, then skip skip skip skip... and so on.

Do you watch everything in an episode?


Yes. Except for the OP/ED (unless they're awesome).

Why?

Because I won't know what's happening plot/story-wise, so.

I don't skip parts of the episode proper, even if they start to annoy me, though if I feel too annoyed I just end up dropping the series altogether.

I generally don't skip OPs and EDs.

I only skip ED's, I'll just do something else for the 1.5 minutes the OP is playing (too lazy to skip).

If I get bored I won't skip anything, but I'll only half concentrate on it and do something better.

Sometimes I space out but I always watch the whole thing, including openings and endings. In fact, if I dislike an opening enough, I'm more likely to not give the series a chance than to skip it. If I'm already interested I'll force myself through.

I skip Op/Ed. Also recap episodes and fillers (only if i find them boring after few episodes).

Also, I sometimes skip parts of One Piece episodes, that recap what happened in the previous episode.

Ye I get your point. But if it's like a bunch of dialogue, like 7 minutes of someone explaining, I just skip some of it. I'm impressed that you can watch all the content! Good stuff!

For sure. But one of my downfalls was from watching some scenes from Fune wo Amu where they walk about the dictionary, I get zoned out and lose interest. I love the story, but the explanation about the dictionary didn't capture my interest. I rarely skip the content of an anime, but ye this one was no good for m. But good job watching all the content for your animes! Keep it up!

I skip the openings and endings after I've watched them once, but as far as actual content in the episodes I don't skip that, no. If I found it boring I'd just drop the show and move on to something else.

I have been known to skip boring filler arcs in a few long series like Naruto Shippuden and Bleach though.

If I'm getting bored I might skip ahead a little to see if anything interesting is happening yet. This usually means I'm about to drop the series though.

I'll skip flashbacks to stuff we've already seen. Especially if it's more then just a "moment" and almost a recap. But this is probably only on stuff I don't really care about.

I never skip anything. If I'm getting bored I just switch what I'm doing after finishing the current episode because at that point I've established I'm not really in an anime mood.

Also yeah imo you can't really claim to have watched a series if you're skipping random intervals of time. Because all that tells me is you're so disconnected from a series that you can't even put forth a full 21 minutes to watch one episode (notice I said 21 because OP and ED themes I can kind of see why people skip, but ED theme runs the risk of post credit scene skips).

I skipped OP and ED, unless it became a favorite of mine that I can't bare to skipped it so probably, I'll watch it. Sometimes I skipped short recap of the previous episode, which happens before OP or after OP.

If a show is so boring that I feel like skipping entire scenes then I'd definitely watch a different series. For some less relevant seasonal anime, I skip through the first episode to see if it interests me.

I skip the OP and ED, also if it's shounen I skip the recap.

I typically try not to skip anything. Feels like a lot of content is drained and I'm missing out if I do, OPs and EDs included since I'm a big music fan.

Ofc I watch all the anime, Or I wouldn't watch any of it.

I mostly watch the OP and ED's once to see how they are to whether I want to listen more or not, and always look for the extra clips at the end. I do not watch previews or recaps unless it has been a while since I saw the anime/previous episode.

I usually watch the OP (though I am skipping the one from Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex. I love the song by the computer animation is just hideous) but I often skip the ED (though it depends again on the ending song - I didn't skip it for "Koi Wa Ameagari No You Ni").
