| How often does everyone actually re-watch their favorite(s) anime? For me, I'm not really fond of doing it mainly because I don't get the same emotional attachment that I did the first time I watched it. The only anime I've been able to re-watch a few times is Darker Than Black. I'm not sure how others feel about the subject. |
 |
| Every couple years I try to rewatch one of my favorites. I see the problem in everyone rewatching the shows they like, expecting their past memories and attachments to be completely rewritten and re-experienced, now that's obviously never going to happen. The mindset I go into while rewatching shows is not that of an emotional one, but of a concious thinker, I rewatch to further understand and possibly develop a liking for characters I had passed aside previously. |
 |
| It depends on the anime. I'm rewatching Gintama right now which has a high rewatch value, so I can rewatch it about once every 6 months. While my favorite anime One Piece, I can only rewatch about once every year to two years. I'm often rewatching and quite often my favorite anime are the ones that have a high rewatch value. |

| I rewatch Oni Chichi twice everyday. |

There isn't really a good way to view an anime objectively, especially with rewatching. Past experiences and memories will always play a factor, since you're trying to "relive" those past positive memories again. Be it consciously or subconsciously, the tendency to compare past and present memories will always happen. |

Maybe, I'm just not the type to enjoy the second time around. |

Jody32 said: I'm in a peculiar position where I'm thinking of re-watching Aria. But I am under the impression that if I re-watch it, it will take away from the original experience based purely on how good the show actually is. I can say the same for a couple of my other favourite series such as Porfy no Nagai Tabi, Honey and Clover, Texhnolyze, Haibane Renmei and Planetes (alongside a couple of others). Rewatching them will just distort my original perspective on them as they've stayed close to my heart ever since I've watched them. But yeah, I try to rewatch two or three of my favourite series at least once a year. It tends to take 1-2 years before I'm able to watch re-watch something again. It's always taken away from the original experience I had sadly. |

| I occasionally rewatch shows but I rewatch certain episodes/scenes pretty frequently. |

While it certainly is a good thing to start looking for interactions between characters and details you didnt notice before, dont try to start to overanalyze any new clues you might discover. 'Cause if that would happen, you might start to question those past pleasant experiences and go way too in-depth into how those "newer" discoveries impacted the storyline or character development of that given anime. In the end, you might end up getting with more warped and confusing memories after the rewatch. The first time you watch an anime you remember the story and characters the best . So there's no need to suddenly adjust your views on *given storyline and characters* after a re-watch. |

OT: I have rewatched some of my favorite anime, maybe not the entire thing but certain episodes at least twice (this is particularly true for Gintama, Hajime no Ippo and Gurren Lagann). I'm also planning on rewatching Baccano soon. |

| I always rewatch any anime I've rated 8 or above at least once, as I usually enjoy a 2nd, 3rd or 4th watch almost as much as the first time. |
| 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |
| There's still so much i have left to watch, no time really for rewatching. In Middle of watching Mushishi, NHK, Shinsekai Yori, etc |

The 10/10's I give will probably be the only ones I give that rating. I look for a lot of detail usually. |
|
| I'm halfway through Mushishi and Nana (only very rarely watch > 1/time), but already tempted to start them over lol. This shit is amazing... |
Dageki said: I never rewatch an entire anime. But often I watch some parts of an anime a few times. |
| like a lot of other people said, I like to wait about 2 years. Usually in that amount of time I forget a lot of the details of the show so I can actually enjoy watching it again. I don't know if I'd be able to rewatch a show while remembering all the little details. I can agree with not getting the same emotional effect. I think I tried rewatching Welcome to the NHK a bit too soon and it just wasn't the same. Anime with big feels near the end are probably the hardest for me to rewatch because those moments are so good and they won't have the same impact as the first time which can be disappointing. |
 |
| Ahm doin' it right now. I'll set myself up another Slayers marathon soon, too. |
| I like to rewatch my favorite shows around every 6 months to a year. Also whenever I tell my friends about an anime I usually end up watching it with them. |
 |
| I rarely rewatch shows because i would rather watch something knew. Put i try to rewatch my favorites now and then. Or at least a few episodes. |
| I usually wait a period of time before i re-watch my favorites. It helps me forget about a few things about the anime and when I re-watch I get the same feeling I had during my first watch through. I may also re-watch if I introduce one of them to a friend. Just recently, a few friends and I marathoned Madoka Magica and watched the 3rd movie. They've never heard of the anime and I was surprised when they said it was frickin awesome considering the fact that a lot of people don't give it a shot because of first impressions. |
| I almost never rewatch my favorites, mainly because even if it's been a few years since I initially watched it, I remember every single detail down to the dialogue, and it makes the experience boring. The only one I enjoyed even more after a rewatch was Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita. |
| I don't always re-watch my anime, as I first want to complete more anime. However I did re-watch Bleach about 3-4 times and SnK about 5 times. I mean if I ever forget an anime, or want to re-watch an anime I loved a lot, i'll re-watch it if I have time. I don't re-watch at all at times. |
 |
| I watch Nichijou and Mikakunin de Shinkoukei repeatedly it's just so much fun to watch |

|
| I rewatch mostly after a month I finished it. I don't know why but it's just my urges, and I even have around 20 anime to watch still. |
 |
| Maybe an episode or two. I dont really re-watch the entire series, but sometimes I re-watch anime that are aired on TV. |
"I have been wielding a blade since before your were swimming around your father's scrotum." - Kurou |
| I do it once every 1-2 years in order to enjoy them again and see what I think of them from a new perspective + more world experience. I've found that Kino no Tabi and Rurouni Kenshin are set in stone among my top 5, each rewatch only makes them better. |
 |
| I only rewatch something whenever I really feel like doing so. Other than that, I like to watch my favorite scenes and moments from an anime on YouTube. |
| I usually rewatch or reread if I want to relive certain parts of a show/manga, or if I rated it high, but I don't remember why. Other than that I almost never rewatch/reread. |
| 4-5 times of my favorite anime... |
 |
| I have a difficult time concentrating on the series I'm currently following, so rewatching isn't really my thing. The only anime that I've probably rewatched more than once is Fushigi Yuugi. (I watched it for the nostalgia.) |
| When I was younger and hadn't experienced many series it could be as frequent as every month, at least certain episodes of the series. Now unless it's something like to hear a dub for the first time or a recent purchase I usually don't rewatch something for months if not years. I find the wait helps me forget enough of it to come close to the level of enjoyment I had back then. In some instances I can even pick up on things I missed, but that's true of everyone I'd assume. |
| In the same way that I'd rewatch anything I own, which is "whenever I feel like it". Though, most rewatches are brought on by me buying the DVD/BD release after having watched it streaming 6 months to a year ago. Either that or I was bored and randomly choose something from my shelves of anime. |

Lanvidia said: I occasionally rewatch shows but I rewatch certain episodes/scenes pretty frequently. This. I don't frequently rewatch an entire show from start to finish with no skipping but I do rewatch episodes or arcs of my favorite shows or anything that just pops up into my head at the time. This happens a lot. Just whenever the mood strikes or a certain show that I'm watching reminds me of a past favorite. However, I'll definitely skip around parts that are a bit boring and get to my favorite scenes. |

| Really only rewatch episodic anime's like Mushishi, Bebop and Champloo |
