If yes does the enjoyment drastically decreases in rewatching the anime?

Yes the enjoyment does decrease, but only if you rewatch it too much too often. Speaking from a point where I cannot stand the sight of FMAB and OreGairu anymore.

Only something that I though was 10/10, and only after many years.

I have rewatched very few anime and all of them were fairly short (under 2.5 hours). I may rewatch Love Live in the near future.

It depends on the anime. If the anime is really confusing and I have the time than I will re watch it, but other than that, no. The only time I have ever re watched an anime was when I wanted to hear it dubbed and I had way to much time on my hands.

I rewatch anime occasionally, usually CGDCT, cooking, battle-shounen, or mecha

The enjoyment is just still the same as when I watch the anime for the first time.

I've rewatched SAC, Steins;Gate, Arise(3 times), FMA:B, KLK(twice), and most of Psycho-Pass. FMA:B was less enjoyable but still very good. KLK gets better every time, Arise was just as interesting on the first rewatch but significantly less enjoyable now. SAC and Steins;Gate were both better the second time around, it's easier when you're not constantly wondering where everything is going. It's usually when I'm showing it to other people.

I've watched Lain twice since the first time I watched it back in 2013, it's one of those shows that every time you watch it you pick up on small things that you didn't your last watch and it changes your opinion on the ending.

Nope. I just don't have the time. There's always new stuff coming out and a bunch of older shows I've yet to watch so rewatching stuff isn't really an option. It's a big reason why I'm content with streaming and don't bother with physical media anymore when it comes to anime.

I rewatch animes constantly, some because I don't remember them well but do remember liking it, like vampire knight I disliked it more the second time other times I rewatch certain episodes. a lot of the time I will rewatch an entire anime for its climax, like for Kimi ni todoke I thought it was cute when kazehaya got jealous of Kent so I watched it for that moment, bad example but I do rewatch many I don't remember at all. But they're always good nonetheless

I rewatched Spirited Away three times. The first time I watched it was when I was a little kid and it scared the shit out of me. I progressively enjoyed it more with each rewatch. With episodic shows it is easier to watch specific episodes than to watch the entire thing. There's a My Little Pony episode that I'm sure I've watched at least 20 times and there are many episodes that I haven't even watched once. When you watch something enough times you start to expect the same things but you can still enjoy it more. I also feel much more nostalgic about movies that I watched several times as a kid than movies that I only watched once. The rewatches become the main part of the entertainment and if you rewatch it again as an adult you are watching in the same way as you did when you were a kid rather than rewatching it for the first time. I don't know how many times I've watched "The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh" or "Monsters Inc.", but I remember noticing certain details during specific rewatches and would even remember specific feelings that I had at the time. Because I was essentially feeling nostalgic at the time I can feel even more nostalgic about it because the feeling of nostalgia is one of the things I'm feelings nostalgic about. Sometimes I would even remember how I was eating my junk food during certain scenes in later rewatches.

I feel that most anime series are too long to be able to rewatch in the same way I would with movies. Because I can access so many anime online for free instead of only buying a few movies a year I also have less reason to watch the same anime several times.

Rewatching anime is important, but not many realize why. There are many times when your emotions run away you find yourself enjoying an anime that you would have enjoyed less if you weren't caught off guard by spontaneous plot twists. On the flipside there are many anime you may not appreciate or understand until a 2nd or 3rd watch. I often watch an anime twice, only taking notes for a review during the 2nd time because its the only way to see the bigger picture.

Assuming you don't rewatch something as often as a 6 year old rewatches Frozen, I think enjoyment overall increases. Assuming you liked the show in the first place, obviously. And for series where you kind of need two run throughs, it increases even more. I'll typically wait at least a while before going for a rematch though.

The reason I don't rewatch as much anymore is lack of time and bigger back log than when I was a teen (and you had to buy anime, youtube didn't come out until my last year of high school and legal online streaming wasn't even a concept)

I've watched a handful of shows multiple times; usually the second time I watch them, it's with someone else. There's been times I've watched a show a second time only days after originally watching it.
I've also watched all the episodes of OPM multiple times, and when it finishes airing, I'll most likely have to put the number of times re watched to 10+

If I don't remember the anime well, I will rewatch. Some days ago, I rewatched all Monogatari in 1080p while waiting for Owari and noticed thousands of new things.

I plan to have a rewatch season when it gets to a season where I don't have many things to watch.

This late summer, or was it early autumn?, film4 (UK) showed many Ghibli films. So I rewatched them in the initial hope I'd get to watch them in original dub + English subs : nope. English dub. Well, I rewatched them anyway, because why not ?

Other than that, when I want to watch episode 8ff of sth. but watching episode 7 is like a week ago, then I may rewatch episode 7 to get back into it.

Also to watch it in another dub is a good reason for me to rewatch a show.

This is very interesting. Thank you.

I can not reproduce this for myself, as for the most time we did not have a TV when I was a child, and even when we had, I was not much interested. Not that there was much for children in the first place.

I could maybe compare this to re-reading childrens books, or even some comic books. But I do not really remember if there were some I re-read a lot as a child, but not anymore as an adult because I then noticed how bad they were.
Those I reread as an adult, also several times, they are really good and/or interesting stuff, and I sometimes re-read them "analytically", wanting to see what exactly makes them so good.

(Or sometimes I re-read them to learn foreign languages, because they usually employ easy speak. Like Pippi Långstrump :D - when you know the story by heart, it is easy to read in Swedish)

Definitely, with maybe two or three exceptions I don't give anything a 10 unless I've read/watched it at least twice. If a series doesn't hold up just as well if not better on rewatch then it probably wasn't a good anime.
