I consider it my duty to watch every OP and outro at least once, because the animators work really hard on them.

If I'm binging a show that has already been completed then I will skip most of the OPs because listening to the same song over and over again gets old.

If I'm watching the show as it comes out (once a week) then I always watch the OPs because it gets me excited for the episode

Edit: of course, skipping Cruel Angels Thesis is a felony in 175 countries, so even though I binged Evangelion, I watched it every time

It depends on whether I like the music or not. If its catchy, then I wont skip it.

There are a few reasons I would.
-If the show has offered a lot to think about and reflect on, I may take a breather before the next episode. A solid outro followed by the next intro can help with that(although I'll maybe get up and pace around for half an hour in-between who knows).
-If I haven't watched an episode for a rather long time and don't plan to start over from the beginning. The intro can help, maybe just by giving you the time to change your frame-of-mind, adjust and prepare you for what's to come.
-I'll also watch them just based on enjoyment. A lot of 80s ovas have beautiful opening visuals.

I watch the opening and ending every episode for every show. The only time I skip it is if I really dislike the opening or ending and yes I even do it when I am bingewatching. :)

I'll always watch them at least twice. Once for the first episode, and once for the last. If I notice extra time is left in an episode, I'll leave an ED playing to see if there's an after credits scene (usually too lazy to grab the controller to skip), and if I REALLY like an OP I'll watch it just about every episode.

Generally speaking though, for a 12 episode series, I'll skip the OP/ED for episodes 2-11.

I'll watch at least once but if I like it then everytime. I'm pretty picky about which I like though since most sound generic af.

I watch intros the first time I watch a show, if I had a somewhat long break from watching, and on the last episode (also for series with multiple intros). I only watch outros on the last episode or special episodes.

Yep, almost always unless i really can't stand/dislike the song, then i'll skip it.

Though when the ending rolls around i'm sometimes tempted to browser to another page while it plays, though, still listening to the song even if i'm not paying attention to the visuals.

If I like them.
For example, watch One Piece OP1. Skip One Piece OP2.

Usually I openings on the last episode and endings i usually only listen to it rather than watching to avoid spoilers. However, some openings are really good that I just have to listen to them. For example, this season Somali and the Forest Spirit OP is absolutely amazing that i've listened to it every episode. Others that I can think of on the top of my head are kokkoku and dororo op 1 both had really good openings and Haikyuu!! obviously having superb animation in their openings. It really just depends on my mood I guess if I am willing to risk spoilers on a certain anime.

It's part of the watching experience for me and there's nothing like the feeling like when you feel all excited watching and even singing along with it at times so yes, I do~

Of course there are exceptions but it's at the bare minimum for me.

Only the intros, if it's good and/or catchy. If it's average, then I'll skip the 80 seconds....

For me it depends how good the intro is. For example the Cowboy Bebop intro and outro for Samurai Champloo intro i always watch it. Like the Battlecry intro and Shiki No Uta outro always gets me everytime. But if the intro or outro in a show is meh i watch it once and skip through it throughout the episodes.

I never skip even if the song starts off bad. The songs always get better once I have heard them enough times.

For older anime, I could never skip the OP and ED. Sometimes they're the highlight of the show itself.

However, for more modern shows, I have a hard time sitting through the opening because everything sounds exactly the same now. LiSA ruined anime openings forever.

If you mean the musical Openings and Endings as they are commonly referred to, yes. If you mean the recaps and previews at the start/end of episodes, then no, I find the recaps annoying and the previews as taking the fun away from my imagination.

I only watch the intros and outros of select series that I really like. So far, this list really only comprises of Attack on Titan and SAO, even though I started skipping SAO intros later on into the season.
