I always skipped the ending songs until someone told me to listen for hidden plot points. Episode 12 of Re:Zero proved them right with a full scene hidden in the credits.

Wait, are you talking about the actual ending credits or the post-credits scene? Because Re:Zero definitely has a full scene after the credits in episode 12 (the one where Subaru talks to Emilia about the kiss), but that's not technically "hidden in the ending song" itself, you know? The credits roll with the song playing, then you get the extra bit. Just a small mix-up on how it works, but the point stands - people miss so much when they skip credits in shows like that.

Haven't people been skipping credits since the DVD days though, what makes this different now? Feels like everyone wants to act like they cracked some code when really it's just standard anime stuff. Why are we acting like this is some big discovery and not just a normal thing that's been happening for years? Honestly the real mystery is why anyone would skip the ED in the first place when the songs are usually bangers.

Wait, so the secret hidden content was just... a post-credits scene that's been a thing in anime for like 20 years? Groundbreaking discovery, definitely worth skipping the ED for five episodes just to find out.
