Is there something you always skip in anime?

For example a specific cliche you hate so much that you skip it everytime you see it in any anime.

For me this "Walk in right when girl is dressing who starts panicking like she's about to get raped" is what I really hate
Everytime I see this, I just skip 1-2 mins from that point.

I always skip the endings of anime. Sorry, but I would rather get to the next episode than watch an ending. Openings differ as they are usually hyping you up for the show.

Well the OP and ED when I've already seen the same one before is usually an automatic skip 90 seconds forwards. I'd imagine the same is true for most people

Other than that, not really. Skipping actual new content feels wrong to me. Although if there's one thing I genuinely struggle to watch is whenever someone seemingly messes up a stage performance of some sort in front of a live audience since that triggers a phobia of mine

-Recap episodes

Usually I skip summaries of the previous episode(s) and previews for the next episode.

The opening and ending-they usually don't add a fucking thing to the show except to consume time.

I usually skip the final episode and make up my own ending instead. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I usually don't skip anything, not even OPs/EDs. I occasionally skip those if I dislike them though. But it's rare. Beyond that I have nothing in terms of story or tropes I would skip. One can never know if they won't miss something good that way, after all. I will rather put up with scene I dislike than risk that.

I skip the openings too since they're typically obnoxious and cringy music.


It is obvious that "obscenity" is not a term capable of exact legal definition; in the practice of the courts, it means "anything that shocks the magistrate".

I usually skip over any action animes. I still watch them, but they have to show up a hundred times and people have to keep telling me to watch till I give in. Still haven't seen FMA:B till this day.

I had no idea so many people skipped OPs and EDs. They're quite often the best part of the show. I only skip them if I actively dislike the song.

OP: I have only skipped some HunterxHunter long winded chimera ant fights. The show wasn't bad enough for me to drop but those episodes weren't engaging enough for me to sit through.

Idol/singing scenes in non idol anime. Aside from Senki Zesshou Symphogear and maybe Macross I can't stand singing in anime. This probably stems from my hatred of musicals.

As for me, I skip the ending most of the times. I skip the opening some of the times. I don't skip anything regarding the content of the episode. I wish to experience it in its entirety :)

Recap episodes and endings if they are annoying/bad, eg. Code Geass season 1 ed 2(haven't found any op to be that infuriating). When I was in the beginning of my anime journey, I also skipped some OPs. Also, if I ever decide to watch an R+ anime, I'll probably skip the nudity parts (as I did with Welcome to the NHK)

I skip the op or ed if it sucks. There are no types of scenes that I skip though, because if a show has too many scenes like that I will just get annoyed and drop it.

- Openings and endings, unless I really like them
- Summaries of previous episodes

And there is one thing in particular: Endless Eight. I like the concept of it and it was okay the first time around, but there's no way I'm going through it again. Maybe, just maybe, if I haven't watched it in years.

If I feel the need to skip a few minutes to avoid something, the series is as good as dropped.
I'm also filled with pure-hearted ulterior motives.

I watch it on 2x~4x speed when it's just plot. Skip an entire action scene when it's poorly done or too vanilla for my taste.

Oh I'm talking about hentai.

The commercial break if there is one: always.

The opening, it depends (I tend to skip it after the 1st episode when I'm watching DVDs: ease of convenience and having 4-5 episodes/disc push me to).
The ending, it depends (for DVD boxes, past the ep n°1, always, unless it's
Next preview? I always test the first one then based on it (the way it is told notably) I decide what to do. For Tomino series, I just skip it.

The summary episode? No. Unless it's Wolf's Rain.

This is specific to one anime but.... As much as love Zettai Unmei Mokushiroku, I do not want to watch the entire transformation scene that's like two minutes long in every single episode.

So I guess overly long repeated transformation sequences? But the only show they've really been a problem for me is aforementioned Revolutionary Girl Utena.

@greyleaf sheesh, honestly I've seen all sorts of people on MAL since I started using the forums. It reminds me of animes with open endings up for interpretation. Could be something someone on MAL is interested in!

Specially on a series like One Piece where the first 6 minutes of every episode is recap and intro.

-Openings and endings
-Characters who constantly repeat themselves to the point of getting really tiring (Bonus points if they're obnoxious as fuck)
-Transformation scenes (Because it's just reused animation, so I don't see the point of seeing the same thing over and over again without skimming, unless I see a new transformation for the first time)
-Accidental pervert scenes (Do I need to explain this one?)
-Summaries from the previous episode
-Characters who show their "love" towards the person they're in love with by being an abusive asshole *CoughbadlywrittenTsunderecharacterscough*
-Characters who're intentionally being a pervert without the other persons' consent, especially if it's played for laughs
