Does it?
Are you talking about rewatching one series or not being as excited anymore then when you started watching anime in general?
I probably regret this post by now.

Watching an anime a second time allows me to see it from a new perspective. Knowing what happens, I can watch it in a whole new way, and get something new out of it.

You just need to wait a few years without watching it, then when you watch it again you.ve forgotten about it

If you want the same excitement, you can rewatching it after some years when you forget about what happens, you can do that.

What, I didn't really get it.


I usually rewatch an anime when a year already passed since I last saw it.

Take a break from it for a while. Watch a hundred movies or something. Or listen to a lot of albums. Then come back to anime.

Also, maybe find people who have the same passion as you. They might make you want to watch some more.

Before I watch any anime I listen to 'Too Legit To Quit' by MC Hammer. It brings me to the standard hype level I need start watching an anime. Its effect usually wears off after 3 episodes and sometimes I must admit that I'm legit but not too legit.
There's no need for all this tension.

Depends on the anime for example I wouldn't want to watch Boku no Pikou twice but I would watch higurashi more than once for sure since there is so much to understand

I have no problems with it to rewatch anime series many times :P

Sure you know basicly what happened but some anime are complex and it will be helpful for understanding to watch it twice .

If you want to feel the same as the first time, then you should wait after some time has passed

Rewatching Steins;Gate and Higurashi was a anime I enjoyed rewatching after finishing it :3 Another one would be (kind of) Another, just rewatching scenes with a 'certain' character really made me wonder why I didn't notice it sooner.

In other words, yeah it's possible lol but it's mostly because I enjoyed it so much I could watch it and still enjoy it fully

When I'm re-watching 'serious' anime I tend to notice foreshadowing and other stuff, I hadn't noticed when watching for the fist time, better.

I'm guessing you are talking about rewathes..

Well, If it is something you liked then there is a possibility that you won't like it as much.
But rewatching anime that you didn't like as much, could bring different results.

after watching first time wait a little bit, and when you will be ready to watch it second time you'l start to see more details that you couldn't notice before, thats because you allready know the story line and thats why it's gonna be easier to follow it...

Just space it out, and like people said, there will be things you don't notice the first time

I'm rewatching Higurashi, and when at first I thought that the excitement could not match the first time, I was positively proved wrong.
The shock factor obviously is at loss, but rewatching it with the knowledge of what I am watching it gives it a more prelibate taste.

By the way it's the first show I am rewatching.

agree with waiting a couple years. That or watch a lot of anime (finish 2-3 series a week). Once a a couple months go by you would have finished another 20+ shows since the one you really liked so it seems like it's been a long time

Typically, you can't, at least not if you still remember most of it. Give it while and come back to it I guess.

That or watch the dub after the sub. That always makes it worth re-watching.
