| Do any of you find yourselves loving something, but never wanting to rewatch it? I see a lot of people mentioning rewatch value when they rate an anime, but I have series that I love, that I even consider masterpieces, and I never find myself wanting to rewatch them. For me, off the top of my head is Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. Even though I loved it so much, I never want to rewatch it. I've thought about it so many times, but it's never something I want to do. Do you believe that a series has to have rewatch value to be a masterpiece? |
| Rewatch value is nice depending on the series, but generally no. For example if you happen to favor mystery or thriller series they probably won't have much rewatch value. Because you've already been exposed to the full idea of the series and the experience will shift the second time through or have less of an impact. |
| nope a masterpiece doesnt need to have a high rewatch value. for expample i just dont want to rewatch long series, because i dont want to spent that much on a show i already know. also a reason for not rewatching a show even though i love it is when the show is slow. so overall there can be many reasons why a show doesnt have a much rewatch value even though its a masterpiece and you love it. but thats also very subjective and differs from person to person. |
Chimera-Ant Arc sucks A1-Pictures is great Lelouch is alive  |
| Depends on the nature of the series, for example Detective Conan or One Piece are impossible rewatch on fully due to their length, however Bobobo-Bo Bo-Bobo is a series I like to revisit every once in awhile to get some nice laughs. OT: I'd say yes and no, as a fully plot-driven show all over again doesn't make much sense, however one in wich you only want to watch one episode and that's it, it get's important. |
 One man is no more than another, if he do no more than what another does. |
| I generally like rewatching shows and the more I liked a show the more likely it is that I'll rewatch it in the future, so for me 9s and 10s need to have a high rewatch value (or rather - they automatically have since I liked them so much). There are some shows I scored high and I don't want to rewatch them, but I don't consider them "masterpieces" in such case and they aren't my all time favorites. |

Because you've already been exposed to the full idea of the series and the experience will shift the second time through or have less of an impact. I still think Shiki has a very high rewatch value, although something like Higurashi does not. It depends on the show. @OP A show with high rewatch value is often a great show, but shows with very low rewatch value often weren't too great to begin with - UNLESS of course it is a show that was great the first time watching it and most of its power came from not being able to decipher what would happen while watching, much like Higurashi as I mentioned. |
| See, if theres an anime i absolutely loved, chances are I will rewatch it someday. I've never cared whether something had "Rewatch Value" |
| Is that even a thing? Aren't you supposed to just rewatch whichever series you like whenever you feel like doing it? |
| imo a series is a masterpiece when you don't want to watch it again cuz then you will feel broken when you see them smiling and alive |
| nah, some series are masterpieces that depends on a suspense value. Rewatching would ruin that. |
 |
| Well I consider everything in terms of fap value. So if it is worth fapping, there's a high chance that it is worth rewatching. |
| I only go back to look when I feel that I have free time and I want to enjoy what I enjoyed a while ago. |
| Not sure of what you called "masterpiece". Rewatching are mostly giving us some time to keep us more wait and indeed to recapping remarkable shows |
 "Think about that glowing dust That destroys the night sky's dream of Just being nothing"--  -- |
| No, lmao. The only reason I've ever rewatched something is if I saw it as a kid or there's a new season out and I want to recap on the last like two episodes. So for me, that isn't even a factor. |
| Eh. |
| Nope, it doesn't really matter to me. I might rewatch a few episodes from animes I really enjoyed to pass time, but i never sit down to watch an entire series all over again even if I gave it a high score. Its different if I'm watching with friends though- at that point I'm ok with rewatching anime but only because I'm recommending it to them and I want them to enjoy series I've liked. |
| just my two cents, i rewatched some series including evangelion, when you are older you can notice a lot of things, its a really cool experience |
| I rarely ever rewatch so whether if I give it a 10 or give it a 1 I most likely have only seen it once. In fact, I've never rewatched any of my 10s while there actually are some anime I gave 1s that I've seen more once (my 10s are mostly 20 hour+ anime while my 1s are primarily under 10 minutes so that's an important factor). Most of my rewatches were strategic (eg. rewatching a Hatsune Miku anime 20+ times in order to write a review on it) or were because I was watching it with other people rather than traditional pure entertainment rewatches. Rewatch value is not something I factor into my ratings. |
  |
| It's not a necessary thing, but it's a plus in some cases. There are some series who gains more when you re-watch them, since the second time you get foreshadowing and realize some things quicker than the first time. |
 |
| I'd love to rewatch my favorite anime, but my full time job won't let me. Not that my full time student status from before the job would have helped much there either. |
   I envy your delusion; I wish I could live in it  |
Illyricus said: There are some series who gains more when you re-watch them. this is interesting and true but i just can't seem to find the right anime to fit in this category, Your Name comes to mind. |
| Rewatch value isn't necessary for me to rate something high, though all of my current favorites are rewatchable. I imagine shows that rely heavily on suspense and tension wouldn't be as fun on a rewatch. Noesnecesario said: for example Detective Conan or One Piece are impossible rewatch on fully due to their length Hardly. I've watched 600+ episodes of One Piece twice. |
| I don't mind rewatching as long as it's with others, like a group ;3 |

| So far, not really. The best anime tend to include so many great things - art, themes, characters, humor - that I know I want to experience them again sometimes. Some I'm fine with watching just once, like Gekkan Shoujo. It was a great comedy but that's it. Most of what I rated 9-10 I'll probably rewatch someday. |

| Nope, there are a lot of "masterpieces" that I wouldn't rewatch. I would never rewatch Death Note for example. It takes more than that, to want to rewatch an anime. An atmosphere, I would say. I'd take Gintama any day, any time, even 100 times. I might rewatch Naruto, although I'm not a fan. But it's really cozy. |
 |
| it depend on my mood. if I rewatching it again that would be the plot that catches my interest. |

| i dont mind rewatching my 10s but not all of them |
| It would be a shame if I could never rewatch something I liked so much. |
| no. most, if not all, of the things in my giant favorites list are definitely rewatchable. some i have already rewatched to see how they hold up and, to be honest, they hold even better than i originally thought. |

| Instead of wasting time watching an anime I've already seen, I'd rather just watch an anime I haven't seen. However, I will admit, I rewatch random arcs of Naruto from time to time, cuz that my shit. |

| You can re-watch it if its comedy like nichijou |

I only watch bits and pieces of it so like fights, arcs or even certain scenes or episodes. I don't do this very often anymore so I don't find it that repetitive to be honest. |
|
| It depends, actually, if an anime I liked has a manga associated with it, it would just read the manga, because there may be more stories that were not seen in the anime series. I really don't like rewatching anything, unless I haven't seen it in awhile. |
| Rewatch value is not factored into my ratings because not all anime are better when re-watched as re-watching mystery driven shows or really long runners aren't ideal (only exception to these is if you forget everything about them but you remember watching it). Re-watching certain episodes of those series is fine. Also I'm open to watching all kinds of anime, so I like to invest my time more into watching something I never watched vs something I already did, hence I don't care much about "rewatchability" |
 |
| No, because there are some things I consider good which don't have much rewatch value. Rewatch value comes more into play when I'm considering whether to buy something or not. If I don't think I'll ever rewatch it there is no use spending money to own it. |

GamerUnglued said: Rewatch value doesn't just come from a series being good. Plot driven series tend to not have much rewatch value because we already know the story. Character driven series and series with detailed world-building tend to have the most rewatch value. Densely packed settings mean that on top of experiencing the feeling of the world again you will probably also notice new things and appreciate other things in hind sight thanks to having story context. Shows dense with characterization are great for rewatching because it allows us to not only live with the characters again, but find subtle things in their characterization that we didn't notice previously and appreciate subtler moments of character development that we may have missed the first time without future context. This really sums it up. I'd argue that because character-driven have such a rewatch value, they're always better than plot-driven anime. |

| of course a masterpiece doesnt need to have a high rewatch value. |
| yeah, I don’t rewatch anime at all since there’s just so much I want to watch; granted that’s different from what you are asking |
