Are OP/ED worth it for series?

Clannad AS for worst ED...it just killed the somber mood.

Please don't go off and discuss the merits of individual OP/ED without tying it into a discussion. There is a thread about that in the music section of the site.
Reape:
Some OP/ED themes are really good in amplifying the mood of the anime such as those of Ef or Higurashi no Naku Koro ni...
anesthehero:
There are some OP/ED that have in them secrets of the serie that you don't understand at the beginning but the more you go on the more
you understand.
Path:
Aside from artistic merits, OPs/EDs are part of the symbiosis with the entertainment industry, for better or worse; really, if they were removed entirely, the subsequent reduction in funding from the music industry would likely impair the production qualities of the series. As such, I'd say that they are certainly "worth it", regardless of any real intrinsic value. For the record, I usually skip the OP/ED as well after I've seen them once (especially if I'm watching a batch) unless they're exceptional or just plain catchy.

Yeah, Ef - aToM has awesome opening songs, and True Tears has good OP/ED also. The English version of Euphoric Field is my favorite anime OST.
Some anime discourage me right from the start with ugly openings, like in Mnemosyne and Darker Than Black... never trust amateur Japanese rockstars to make good lyrics out of Engrish.
