By skip-watching I mean seeing all the episodes, but jumping through them. Either just a few episodes or the entire thing.
Normally I don't (actually I don't think I ever have before) but I realize that I just did to one. It was 13 eps and I watched 5 normally (technically the first 2 episodes twice, as I also saw them when the show was new) before realizing I didn't quite want to watch it but I did want to know the ending. But jumping to the end wouldn't tell me anything and a wiki would lack the emotion for the scenes I wanted to see. So I figured I'd ask to see how common this is for people. |

I haven't done this, but I can think of a few shows that I wish I had. I think going forward I may give this a try.

Absolutely NEVAR.
It completely goes against my policy. 
........erm, well only one series: Sailor Moon. I saw Sailor Stars to the end before seeing any of S or SuperS. And yes, I had many questions.
But I'm pretty certain that's the only one...and it was a VERY long time ago. Short explanation: available fansubs. |

Yeah, I do that with pretty much all the hentai I watch. Just wanna get to the good stuff, ya know?
For normal anime, I did it with Yosuga no Sora for the same reasons. |

Well, not all hentai jumps right into the sex scenes. Plus I don't much care for the typical foreplay stuff.

Funny you ask that because I did that today for the first time in a while. I really was not interested in the 5th graders training regime in Ro-Kyo-Bu, so I just skipped past that.

Vaisaga, why did you have to mention that, now I can't deny having never done it, I feel so ashamed.
Also I think I may have done it with some Naruto episodes before when my patience was really being tested. Otherwise I like the story and like it one complete block. |

Yeah, there can also be content that you're just not into. I run into that sometimes. Skip the fetish thing to get to the actual sex. I remember that I also skip-watched a show once because I came to realize that I'd downloaded the wrong show by mistake. LOL. When I saw Sailor Moon it wasn't skip-watched like in jumping through episodes. Instead it was in a kind of "best of" format which condensed all the story. 200 episodes condensed into something like 36 plot relevant ones. A friend requested I make a Fairy Musketeer Akazukin one like that for him but I never got around to it. |

eh, I've occasionally done it with some vanilla PoRo titles. They can get so damn boring

I do that, but mostly it's just to see whether or not the hentai is worth "watching". Usually, I'll just skip forward and be on the lookout for anything I may like, but I'll usually have my opinion from the outset by judging the tone and the character designs. For anime, I only do this if I'm deciding whether or not to start a series. I'll usually just grab episode 1 and skip through just to see what it looks like. |

I've only done this once and that was with the first season of Sailor Moon. There was just so much filler there that I couldn't take watching every single episode, just to find the ones that actually advanced the plot. So I actually looked up which episodes were skipped in the original English broadcast and did the same in my own re-watch!
I also did watch the Stars season without having seen SuperS but I consider each season stands alone well enough that I don't think it's quite the same thing. |

I didn't really see the point of bringing back Queen Nehelenia for the first six episodes of Sailor Stars

I skip watched the first half of Akikan to only see scenes from one side character before I just got tired of even doing that and dropped it.
