Name an Anime that you even CAN watch 100x without getting bored out of your mind?
You probably can, for Horndog-reasons, but the normal human beeing is fine after one, or two rewatches.

After that you need do something else...
There's a lot out there to consume xD

Hundred anime once would be the choice for me - I prefer variety and tho I love my favorite shows I rarely have desire to rewatch them, I also don't have any "comfort shows" that I watch over and over again, I don't need the concept of it.

The former, it isn't a bad idea to rewatch some of my favorite anime a hundred times too!

I've never rewatched an anime. I personally feel like I would be wasting my time If I rewatched a TV show even once. But people can do whatever they want with their time XD.

100 anime once for sure, watching the same anime over and over would be unbearable

Watching the same anime 100 times over sounds like a form of torture, I don't mind rewatches but that's just insane

So to answer the question yeah 100 different series > the same series over and over and over again

The second option seems borderline insane.

Depends on the anime. Silly as the first option may look at first glance, I can think of a hundred anime I've seen that in retrospect were not worth my time watching even once, and a few that would be worth watching a hundred.

Would you rather rewatch the best anime you've ever seen 99 times, or watch the worst you've ever seen plus 99 other just like it?

Afterthought: It sounds like a variant of the classic problem "Would you rather fight one titan-sized loli or 100 loli-sized titans?"

If they are all of good quality, a hundred anime once. Even though I would feel like watching some of them more than one time.

A hundred anime once for sure. I can imagine myself watching an all-time favorite anime movie of mine maybe ten to twenty times throughout my entire lifetime at most, but if we're talking about current and future favorite anime series, then I would say watching them twice throughout my entire lifetime is already enough for me.

100 is too big of a number for anyone for rewatches. If the number was around 5 it would make better argument.

Even my favorite shows, with a little effort I might have gone as far as to 10-12 times. A 100 times sounds like torture.

A hundred anime once. I can't imagine how miserable it would be to have to watch the same anime 100 times. Even just a movie, let alone a series. Even if I loved it at the beginning, I'd probably hate it by the end.

There are only like 2 or 3 anime that I can watch 100 times (probably).
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.

why not just do both? if you cant bring yourself to rewatch an anime, it probably didnt bring you that much enjoyment...so make it a goal to find 100 anime, that you'd be willing to rewatch multiple times in the future, because they are just that good. i like going back and rewatching my favourites, just so i can try to find little easter eggs the animators threw in for shits n gigs, or spot subtle nuances i might have missed the first time watching.

I think i wouldn't be able to watch an anime 100x in a row,if we're talking about 100x throughout the years then i could definitely do that but i'd probably still say 100 shows once just because of variety

A mix of both is best. I want to watch as many anime as I possibly can before I die, but I'll also be sure to re-watch the ones I love the most. I have already seen well over 100 different anime once, but I have not yet seen one anime 100 times.

A hundred anime once! I love exploring different shows rather than sticking to one. I never really rewatch anime unless it's really necessary or just hits the comfort spot[Like I only ever re-watched the special ep of Heaven officials blessing like 6-7 times]

Even a hundred is not sufficient to explore anime though tbh 😂 [there are A LOT out there]

A hundred anime once. I need variety, and even my most favorite show in the entire universe wouldn't amuse me after the like, 30th rerun.

Gosh that's a really tough question. On the one hand if it's one of my favorite titles I wouldn't mind watching it 100 times, on the other hand watching a hundred unique anime titles would add more variety, but would also mean I probably would forget about a lot that I've watched. Dang, not sure I can give a definitive answer on this. 🤔

Lmao, what a question. 100 anime of course. I'd get so bored of an anime after watching it 3 times

@LoveLetterAnime

There are many for me. I guess if I had to choose some of my all-time faves that I wouldn't mind watching them any times they would probably be Cardcaptor Sakura, Strawberry Marshmallow and Super Gals.

There are more than one anime titles I’ve watched multiple times but if I had to do one or the other, I would have to go with watching 100 anime only once.
