| Generally I can pick up right where I left off without issue. *Sometimes* though (like I did recently with the non anime series Man In The High Castle it had been like 2 years so I just started it over from scratch). I'm weird in that I have about 90% photographic memory for certain things. My first memories go back to when I was a year old in 1979. I can still recall the most minute details of stuff. But I couldn't tell you what I did 6 weeks ago at times too, ask me 8 years from now and I could tell you what I did 6 weeks ago. My mind doesn't work in a straight line. It's why school was such a bitch for me. I have quasi photographic memory but it's latent for awhile, usually something absorbed couldn't be recalled in time for a lot of tests... ask me the same material years later and I know it. I learn with the subconscious mind not the conscious mind. I had a anime series on hold for like 9 months, went right into it where I left off. No recaps, no redos. Think it also has to do with where I'm at emotional/spiritually too. If I'm melancholy FORGET IT. |
| It depends on how much I care about the show I'll re-watch Mob Psycho when the next season comes, but I won't re-watch Jujutsu Kaisen |
| If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time. Watch more movies, please. Perhaps, this is hell. |
| Depends how long it's been since I've seen it and how well I remember it. Also how long the show is and how important the plot is/how much previous events matter to the future plot. Generally I won't rewatch it all but on occasion I will. |
| Here is where recap episodes are your friends. You can also read a plot summary, or Wikipedia episode lists up to the point you stopped. Being careful not to peek below that point if you are worried about spoilers. |
 |
| It really just depends how long it is for me if its super long ill probably just watch a recap somewhere If its short ill just rewatch it |
 |
| I pick up where I left off, since fuck rewatching the entirety of the first Naruto |
 |
| mostly I start where I left off, my memory is decent when it comes to anime. |
| 馬鹿げた倫理 全部ガラクタで |
| I always just start over. That way i can experience it all at once. |
| My waifu is the most wonderful waifu. Mai Valentine. We're freaking out that we're running out of time, but to do what? Should i stop and think of that? Is there something i could do to slow it down? Live in a day for once, instead of watch it sprinting by |
| I tend to start at the beginning if it's been awhile. I don't want anything from the plot to slip by me. |
| I watch from where I left off And no I wouldn't waste my more time rewatching 50 episodes of hxh |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| I face difficulty when it comes to restarting the series I put on hold for a few years. I don't have a good memory. |
  |
| If I remember mostly what happened, I'll continue from where I last watched to. But if not, I will restart. |
 |
| Oh so you mean holding for a while? I start it all over again from the beginning if it's something that really interest me, if not I just catch it from where I left off, or drop it. |
| I would probably start it all over again from the beginning. |
 |
| i pick it up right after what i left it on happened to me with lotgh and gintama and i remembered what happened before pretty well |
| I usually pick up where I left off. With shows like One Piece and Death Note, though, I'll be starting those from the beginning since it's been close to a year since I've seen them. |
"Molly Ringwald" out right now - check my Linktree!  |
| If it's not I love, as for ex. I am a big fan of Bleach so for me it isn't a trouble to re-watch it (but this example is also bad as I know the whole anime plot from memory excluding the fillers obviously). So instead of re-watching I would usually look at some popular channels reaction at 1.5-2.0 to refresh what happened in nutshell in the previous season. |
| This is exactly the problem I faced with aot. I binged aot to season 4 part 1 a few month ago, and waited for part 2 to come out, which it did. However since I watched it wayyyy too fast, I forgot a lot of details and can't even connect it with the current airing part 2 of season 4. Thats why I stopped watching it for now, and I probably will search videos that summarise the aot story. As for now, I can't understand what is happening lol |

| Depends on how much I care about the show I would probably rewatched it. Like I would probably rewatch Saiki Kusuo no Ψ-nan but not Kimetsu no Yaiba, or I would just watch a recap episode. |
| It depends on how balls deep I am in the show. If I've only watched 1 season out of 4 + 2 movies (etc.), then I would probably restart the series and watch again from the start. If I missed out on a couple of movies or specials, or extra episodes, then I would just continue. For series I've 100% completed, I leave them alone until I have a strong urge to rewatch them, or if I read the manga/LN afterwards. My ratings stand until I rewatch something. |

| depends, usually pick up where i left off |
| If I remember big enough details, I'll continue. If I can't even name a single character, it's probably in my best interest to just start over |

| Depends on the anime. Good example is 86 part 2. It thankfully gets a recap episode so that me and my watching partner don't need restart the series completely to see how it went. And I have rewatched several anime (like Shokugeki no Souma aka Food Wars, when the last season came out, I rewatched the entire series cause I enjoyed it) and it had been awhile. But it really depends on what anime and how much time was between it. |
 |
| I've been watching YuYu Hakusho since 2002. I've gone through massive hiatuses with it throughout the years and I'm not about to start over now. |
| If I can't pick it up from where I left I just watch back a couple of episides only just to refresh before unfamiliar territory. |
 |
| If I have fond memories I re-watch them. |
 |
| If it has a maximum of 24 - 26 episodes, start from the beginning. If it has more than that, continue where I left off. |
  |
| Start from scratch. I'm like that with everything, it's a real problem, lol. My friends are annoyed with how long it takes me to finish stuff (if I finish it at all!), because I keep starting over games, books, anime, etc. as soon as I haven't touched them for a few months x) But I also don't have the focus to just go through something in one go unless it's really short, so it keeps happening... My limit is roughly 300 hours of engaging with a certain piece of media, but because I never stay on track, those are usually used up before I reach the end. Like watching half an anime for 30 hours and then running off to fandom land to gush about headcanons and read fanfics for the remaining 270h before I grow bored of the franchise and leave for 2 years. Or playing a videogame so thoroughly that I hit 300 hours played after only one third of the story, and then stopping because nothing interesting has happened yet. But when I return, I want the full immersive experience so I can't just start over right in the middle of it~ |
| I chose B, continued where I left off, it's impossible to start over again it's too much time wasting, I don't watch much anime & most of the anime I watch are short anime (12 episodes), so I still remember it. |
