if your favorite is zero no tsukaima, I HIGHLY ENCOURAGE YOU NOT TO WATCH IT (if your favorites is correct).

as for me, i've only rewatched 2 anime all the way: gurren lagann and 2003 fma
gurren lagann made me love the show even more, it was my favorite anime a while back and thought it wasn't good anymore, boy was i wrong. changed the score of 8 to 10.

for fma 2003, i liked it more and understood it better, ended up liking that more as well, changing the score from 9 to 10.

i'm rewatching fmab right now, and love it just as much. trying to make me recover from that void feeling.

i'm gonna rewatch kill la kill, gurren lagann, ouran and a few others after summer break starts.

Does it even need be considered really, it is your favorite anime, it is not so strange to watch something you love.

Yea definitely. I'm rewatching Log Horizon right now (50 episodes) and that ones not even my favorite. I've also seen both Index and Zero no Tsukaima twice so you're definitely fine to rewatch them if they're what you're talking about.
If it was something stupidly long like Naruto with 500+ episodes, I might think twice though but 50 episodes is no big deal.

I did that with Monster about a month or two ago. Also rewatched Dai Mahou Touge the other day and ended up loving it even more.

I always rewatch the whole Monogatari series once every year. Been doing it for 4 years now so it's practically a normal thing for me to do.

I've seen all of them, except for the more recent ones, at least 3 times. Usually like once a year, though I don't consciously plan for that to happen.

i've rewatched slayers countless times.. i've owned it on vhs since the 90s.. and back then there wasn't really that much anime to choose from so i didn't really have much of a choice if i wanted to watch anime.
i've rewatched ranma 1/2 a few times, but only completely finished the full 150+ ep once.
same with maison ikkoku..

though, really, it was only the first season of slayers that i watched countless times.. that's the one i owned in the 90s. i've only seen the other seasons a couple times. movies/ovas maybe once or twice.
movies/ovas of ranma 1/2 only once or twice as well.
never seen the movies/ovas of maison ikkoku.. might be worth checking out actually.

there's so much damned material of my 3 favorites. i love them all equally, and nothing will ever be able to compare to them. they pretty much represent my fandom of anime. without them, i wouldn't be a fan.

Since you can't be bothered to see if this (or very similar) thread has been done before, I can't be bothered to give a real answer.
You're never too old to watch anime.
If I ever stop watching anime, check my pulse I'm likely dead.

I wake up with coffee & anime, I go to sleep with coffee & anime.

@ZeroZero0

All of my anime favorites are ones that I have no qualms re-watching and have re-watched multiple times. Personally, I feel like it's not truly a favorite if you can't find the energy (or turn down the opportunity) to re-watch it. i'm not all into re-watching shows (I already know what happens and I can be watching something new), but for some reason, I can't help but watch my favorites over and over.

-Re-watched Persona 4 Animation 4 times
-Re-watched FMAB 6 times
-Re-watched Wolf Children 4 times
-Re-watched Haikyuu 3 times
-Re-watched Robotics Notes only twice

Kill La Kill is very well worth rewatching because it's so damn fun to watch. But my other favorite like Cowboy Bebop sometimes it's worth watching again because you catch foreshadowing and different perspectives better the second time around.

My favorite anime are Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood, Cowboy Bebop, Barakamon, and Paranoia Agent (which I watched just a month ago, so I had no time to re-watch).

Between new releases, japanese, english and italian dub I've watched FMAB a total of seven times, and it was worth it. Every single one.

Cowboy Bebop, instead, has been watched three times. I've watched it alone, then I marathon'd it with my brother and then again with some friends.

I've watched Barakamon two times, once alone and the other time with a couple friends, and I plan on re-watching it again because it's a really good run.

I wish I could keep track of how many times I watch a show on this website.
I mean, MAL can, but I still don't know how to do that.

Yes, i re-watch my favourites a lot. I think if you can still enjoy an anime even when you know what's going to happen, then it's really something special. I've re-watched all my favourites 2 times at the very least.

At some point, when the desire hits me, yes.

I don't rewatch that much outside of rewatching to refresh my memory for a anime that got a sequel.

I prefer to keep watching new rather than already seen.

i actually love rewatching saiki kusuon no psi nan but after the 3rd time it got kinda boring so i just also do something else while watching, usually grind exp/coins in a game; so i don't pay full attention to either while paying the needed attention to both, it's a win-win. but saiki is an episodic comedy, i probably wouldn't do that with a plot heavy anime.

I usually don't rewatch shows unless they have a sequel or a spin off coming. But the recent rewatch of Steins;Gate for S;G0 has me rethinking watching my favorites again. Might not do it though, too many ongoing anime and too much to watch!

I rewatched 6 of the shows that are in my favorites and the other 4 are relatively recent. I'll watch them when I miss them as well. Reliving those memories are great imo, you should rewatch your favorite shows.

You shouldn't really consider anything that you haven't rewatched/can't rewatch your favorite. A favorite should be something you could watch again and again and still not find it boring. For example I still alwayd find something new every time I rewatch Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica and rewatching it only increases my passion for it.
