Can't this minute or so be put to better use?
Is there really a need for openings in 2019?

I like openings. They're one of the things I liked most about anime when I first started watching it. Some series do skip the opening on some episodes to give more time in the episode. Endings too. Never been someone that watched endings too much though. I noticed older series' endings are closer to 1 minute long while more recently they're 1.5 minutes, around the same length as the opening. 2+ minute long openings like in One Piece though are stupid. I thought it was nice at first but I got sick of it pretty quickly.
These days sometimes I only care about adaptations of manga just to see what they do with the openings.

Not really, I stopped watching OPs and EDs years ago.
I watched Flip Flappers and first time I see the OP.

The entire anime was garbage, so anything really

They exist for people who watch them on TV to know when to start paying attention. Also, a way for the committees that fund these to push artists that they own. The second reason is why they're not going away any time soon.

I fucking love OPs and EDs precisely because of that second reason. Anime was how I started to care about music at all thanks to all the artists I found through it. It can feel really fucking good to start an anime and go down a rabbit hole listening to all the albums the OP artist did or just to hear ones you already like premiere new songs through anime. It helps that Japanese music is fucking amazing and they have the best pop industry in the world, no contest.

this has to be bait
Luke Russell
This is probably bait but I haven't liked any OP's to any series I've watched since 2012-2013.

No, fuck off.

yes, they can do a minute recap. Everyone is up to speed and studios save money and resources

Music sponsors pay for that, user.

No. But I can see them dropping endings at some point.

It's always been blatant padding. For nearly 50 years. Live action shows changed and anime never did. It religiously stuck to this crap long before the boom of 80's op/ed singles happened.

You're watching the wrong ones

Nah, binge watchers gets the rope.

This really depends of the audience.

Aria just starts the epsiode with the OP song and a title card, merging the episode with the OP
