| The 2 shows that come to my mind right away are Steins;Gate and Attack on Titan (I'm just pointing out that I don't actually rewatch shows but I do watch a lot of YouTube reactions and discussions of eps so I'm using those experiences for this). Of course the 2nd half of S;G is the one that always gets all the praise (and rightfully so) but imo the characters, foreshadowing, subtle details and overall writing of the show come alive (especially in the first 11ish episodes) when you already know everything that is going to happen. Now with AOT the whole show becomes a whole different beast as well: the worldbuilding, insane foreshadowing and easter eggs put out throughout the story. |

| Neon Genesis Evangelion comes to mind. I rewatched it and appreciated it so much more this time, maybe it's just something that hits differently with age. |
| Detective Conan is engineered for rewatch benefits. It’s the kind of series where every glance, cough, or chess move could be hiding a clue you missed the first time. |
| I would probably say Kantai Collection benefits from a re-watch the most. |

| @RainyEvenings I still have to watch the 1100+ episodes and movies before thinking about rewatching any of it |
 |
| other than the obvious ones like aot, vinland sage i would say fruits basket is a good one because you understand the characters better but i'll admit it can feel a little boring because there's no real mystery anymore. |

DarkFirefly72 said: What is the anime that benefits the most from a rewatch in your opinion? It's often the shit that tries to take itself too seriously that is the least re-watchable Anime for me. Your examples of "Steins;Gate" and "Attack on Titan" are the farthest things I would ever want to re-watch in my life again. I tried once trying to re-watch "Steins;Gate" (since I actually own that shit on DVDs). Ended up falling asleep trying to re-watch it almost a decade later. Because it's really boring when one knows what is going to actually happen in such an Anime story. It's not like "Steins;Gate" is something very action packed either. With "Attack on Titan", online fandom half ruined the franchise for me constantly reading shit throughout the course of the series airing. Where Fans ended up posting way too much shit online that spoiled way too much of the story. I ended up trying to re-watch the series from begin till up to the 4th season and just ended up falling asleep during the 1st part of season 1. I then dropped the idea of trying to re-watch it at all. While "Attack on Titan" is obviously more action packed than something like "Steins;Gate", I just lost complete interest in the franchise after being spoiled too much by online Users completely ruining how everything would eventually end too. Later on, I just ended up selling everything I owned on DVDs for the franchise on Craigslist list to some collector at an extremely inflated price while the Anime still had popularity hype to maximize profit (actually ended up making back more money then I originally spent on the collection). Shit that is actually the most beneficial to re-watch, as ironic as it may seem, is the really trashy seasonal throw-ways that Users on MAL tend to throw 5,6, and 7 at them for scoring. Particularly when it comes to contemporary seasonal throw-ways. As an example, last year buying the complete collection of "Akiba Maid War" on Blu-ray, helped me catch humor I missed before, when watching it with real life friends while drinking beers and playing games of billiards in my mancave. All the while having "Akiba Maid War" screen mirrored on each wall mounted Bravia smart TV surrounding my pool table. Where even shit like "Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill", "Reincarnated as a Sword", and "Skeleton Knight in Another World", were all just as enjoyable re-watching as much as the 1st time (I bought them all also as complete collections on Blu-ray too). I have even ended up watching "Life Lessons with Uramichi-Oniisan" almost a half a dozen time already, once I finally owned the complete collection on Blu-ray as well. Even my wife really enjoyed this series when watching it with me once. I even plan on getting both "I Parry Everything" and even "From Old Country Bumpkin to Master Swordsman" once they get some sort of western domestic physical release as well (I am assuming they will eventually get one some day). But I have no doubt, I will likely enjoy re-watching both titles just as much as when I watched them originally streaming once they both get officially released on Blu-ray. Even looking back at shit from the past, I would rather re-watch something trashy like "Magikano" over a dozen times over trying to re-watch any Anime that is too serious in nature. Maybe I just have really trashy taste, but I also own quite a lot Anime on Official physical releases as well that have extremely serious narratives, stories, and premises to them too. I just don't find myself re-watching them as much. Where even going back to the mid 90s, I bought "Roujin Z" on VHS back then and even later on bought a copy of the Anime film on DVD shortly after the turn of the century too. And still have only watched this Anime film a grand total of 4 times in almost a 3 decade time frame (This is even including viewing the Anime film screen in a theater back in 1994). I even own "Robot Carnival" on both VHS and DVD, and still have collectively only watched this film a total of maybe twice for each of the formats I own and once on a theater screen back in 1991. |

| @DesuMaiden I'm gonna take the bait and ask: why? |
| Angel Next Door: This anime made me smile a lot every episode because of the slow-burn, wholesome and sweet romance between Amane and Mahiru. It's so sweet that I have to start stocking up insulin for subsequent rewatches. |

| After a few years and forgetting going back to Death Note is a must. |
| I am a Completionist. All Anime/Manga will be Watched/Read. All FILLERS will be enjoyed :) I WATCH & READ THE LOWEST SCORED/RATED/RANKED ANIMES/MANGA ON MAL. Join my discord - https://discord.gg/CwhqqfGmHw :) |
| baccano, because that adaptation is not in chronological order. |
 |
| Old favorites that get a new season. |
| Toradora is the most overrated anime ever |
| Though not as good as the video game, it is interesting to go back and rewatch Danganronpa once you know who the true culprit is to see all the subtle hints that were given throughout the storyline. |
