er...do what you want? Theirs no point in watching anime if you don't enjoy it plus, I tend to rewatch shows when a new season comes out if I love the show that is.

At least you are rewatching. I just finish something and shelve it forever.

it's not weird
i re watched inazuma eleven 11 times and it's sequels 5 times
and guess what, i still find it interesting and would re watch when i feel like it
it's all about whether you like it or not
if you like it and you just feel like watching it again, go ahead, no one's stopping you

"Is it weird enjoying myself".

Yes it is. You shouldn't be doing that.

it's not weird at all, if you enjoy the series then you can rewatch it as many times as you damn want.

It's more weird that some people don't rewatch their favorites at all.

Why would you even think that there's anything wrong in re-watching an anime you like multiple times? I don't get it.

I rewatched a lot of series, I've lost count to how many times I rewatched Kekkai Sensen, I iust can't get enough of that soundtrack, I've rewatched W7-EL, SA and MF arc more than 5 times already, rewatch Jotaro vs Dio more than 10 times because dat voice acting is just magnificent and the list goes on.

As long as I still find it enjoyable, rewatching is still far better than forcing myself to complete crappy anime.

I think being stuck on the same stories for so long is a waste. There's so much to explore. If you have fun enjoy yourself, but I think it's better to limit rewatching.

High School DxD is on my list of "infinitely rewatchable" anime too. In fact, I thought it was even better the second time around because knowing the ending made some of the tense and dark parts more enjoyable. (I like upbeat and cheerful, not dark and depressing)

There's really nothing wrong with rewatching a series, even multiple times. And it's not that uncommon. So have fun with it, and don't worry about whether it's weird or not.

Nothing weird actually. I've been rewatching White Album 2 for God's sake how many times already, particularly that episode when the hero truthfully told his girlfriend that he's been cheating with other girl. It's just never boring for me. In a medium where romance is treated as a joke and the girls's personality is paper thin, it's satisfying to have anime like WA 2 where the romance has serious stake and stupidity has consequences.

Depends on how you define "weird." But no, not really. If you enjoy it, keep watching it. I've rewatched Hellsing Ultimate 8 times now. :P

Not really weird, in fact I think it's quite normal to re-watch favourites, be they movies, TV-shows, or Chinese cartoons.

I watched space dandy so many times I lost count... I have no clue if it is indeed deemed as something "normal"... but if you enjoy something its pretty normal to do it over and over again. So chill dude, if someone says you're weird for watching something over and over again... KILL THEM!... ok, don't... just go on with your life as you see fit as long as its legal and other things that people are supposed to be aware of when doing stuff.

Hmn is not weird to watch a show you like so much multiple times, however is a huge time consumable when you could be watching lots of other shows that you might like.

I find it weird for people to re-watch shows multiple times because personally, I dont find it enjoyable to watch shows I already know what's going to happen. The only exception would be Slam dunk and Yuu yuu hakusho because they used to re-air that a lot in a national broadcasting station here in my country when I was a kid.

I always rewatch whenever I finish an awesome anime that I think any anime other than that would be shit other than the other awesome one ive watched leading to a series of rewatches. btw most rewatches I got on an anime is around 13, wont say what anime due to all the judges on mal. Rewatching is never a weird thing unless your rewatching Boku no Pico.

Only because it's DxD; there are much better ecchi harems out there. If you search enough I'm sure you'll find a new favourite anime that's actually worth watching that many times.

How can someone watches White Album 2 that many times?! haha (How I wish I didn't even start it the first time I watched it. But everyone has different taste ;D)

I rewatch most of the Anime I like at least twice. Sometimes when I can't find any new ones to watch, I'll just rewatch those good ones. It's not weird in my opinion, it's another type of enjoyment =D
I love animes!!!

As a kid there were movies I watched more than 20 times. As a teenager there were episodes of TV shows that I watched more than 20 times. With all the anime on my PTW I would consider it a waste to rewatch anime, but I don't consider the concept of rewatching stuff to be negative.

It is certainly weird when you're rewatching Highschool DxD. Otherwise, usually it isn't.

Pretty much what I do as well. I just sometimes rewatch a particular episode from some animes just for scenes that I loved in it.

Now in my opinion, there's nothing weird about rewatching anime. As long as you enjoy it no matter how many times you rewatch, then it's fine.

Yeah it's fucking weird dude.
How dare you enjoy things.

On a more serious note, I don't really understand the point of rewatching stuff. Is it to notice things you missed the first time? Is it to recreate the feeling you had when you first watched the show?
Personally I just watch a show, rate it and then move on.
