Shoutout to the guy who recommended skipping the OP on long anime

I was binging One Piece from episode 1 (you know, that whole 1000+ episode thing). Every episode I'd watch the full intro and outro, thinking I had to respect the craft. After like 200 episodes of this (and losing hours of my life), a buddy said "just skip to 1:30 in, the opening never changes anyway." I tried it and suddenly I was getting through 5-6 episodes per sitting instead of 3. Has anyone else got a time-saving trick for long runners like this?

Hold on, are people really stressing this much over anime intros? It's a show, not a bank heist where every second counts. If shaving off two minutes per episode transforms your whole experience, maybe the issue is less about the intro and more about needing a different hobby.

Honestly just watch it on 1.5x speed for the slower scenes, the filler episodes fly by way faster with less pain.
