Openings are meant to hype you up for the show, and the endings are meant as like a "cooldown" to the episode, which is why they have different vibes. They may show things in the openings or endings that may or may not happen in the show, or different interpretations of stuff that happens. I don't ever view them as spoilers, because they can be misleading, and you're also lacking the context for what you're seeing. They're at "worst" a teaser, and the stuff they show is really just to get you intrigued about what may or may not happen in that season. I personally watch the openings and endings of the anime I watch, since I know a lot of work goes into them, both in terms of animation and music, and I feel like when I skip them it's "disrespectful" to the work that was put into it. But obviously you don't have to watch them every time. They also work better when you're watching the show week to week, as the episodes would typically release, rather than in a binge session.

2025-09-19 09:28:53 +0000 UTCFor this show in particular, you can choose whether or not you want to watch the opening and the ending. Personally, I always watch them (and I don't feel spoiled by them; besides some intros and endings are basically works of art), but I know some people prefer to skip them (because they do feel it spoils them). Basically, it's your choice. For some other shows, the opening or ending may be "required viewing". For example, in the show JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, the opening and ending actually add changes depending on where you are in the season. Those changes may be major (where something may cause it to change completely) or minor (where they just add a newly-introduced character). You'll run into this in a few other shows, too, where some episodes of a given show have changes to the opening or ending (for example, a show called My Hero Academia does this from time to time), but it was JoJo's Bizarre Adventure that popularized the practice.
