I rewatch shows a lot and not just my all time favorites, most prefer to watch something new but half of the times i prefer rewatching something i have already seen, a good that i have a poor short term memory

I basically don't rewatch a show unless it's been 10+ years since I saw it. I also barely watch anime, been 8 months since I last watched a show.
I reread a short manga last month, but that's even more rare than rewatching anime

Depends on how much I like it
I've rewatched k-on and yuru roughly every year since I've seen them
I rewatched spyxfamily immediately after finishing it just because I think it's so much fun. I've probably rewatched bocchi the most because it's so short and is always a good time. It's just a very tightly written show with constant fun animation
Currently wrapping up my frieren rewatch, then gonna rewatch girls last tour. I try not to rewatch more than one show at a time, and most of my "slots" for watching stuff are either finished unseen shows or seasonals. Basically I'm always rewatching something I like while most of my watching is new stuff
Thanks for reading my blog

I'll rewatch comfy stuff every now and again. i watch dungeon meshi when i do shit in FFXIV

>>280411658 (OP)
I only rewatch shows when I'm showing them to my friends

I only rewatch stuff I really like, and I try to give it at least a year or two since my last watch. Some stuff I watch at least once a year, like Kara no Kyoukai. I'll also rewatch the first season of something if it's getting a sequel years later, but again, I only stuff I really enjoyed.

>>280414646
I hadn't thought of this but I've done the same thing a couple of times.

>>280411658 (OP)
While some of my favourite anime are from rewatches I'll still go multiple years without rewatching anything. It just seems to happen in phases or during a really barren season.
Pretty much always goes wrong with things I watched 15+ years ago so I've avoided some like 5cm/s to just keep the original impression.

I rewatch a few of my favorites as comfort anime when I just really need to forget about life.

>>280411658 (OP)
I have done nothing but rewatch Azumanga Daioh for years

>>280411658 (OP)
It's hard to say, I rewatch specific episodes a lot if they're on my mind. Otherwise there's 3-4 series I probably watch all of yearly. Like NHK or Haruhi.

After I forgot most of it, if I know I enjoyed it, I sometimes rewatch a show. As I get older, I barely watch new shows anymore. I still do sometimes, but not too often, but I think I'm starting to enjoy old shows more
I'm lucky though because I have a girlfriend and brothers who like anime and we watch old shows together, I understand why normalfags like youtube reacting to shows and shit, because it's more enjoyable when you do it with someone else, so sometimes I force my girlfriend or my family to watch old shows I already saw years ago, and it's super fun I almost feel like I'm watching the show for the first time too
rewatching something should be a shared experience, I guess that's my point

>>280411658 (OP)
I've rewatched things but not often.

>>280414646
I do this too, but then whenever I watch a new show I always go
>gee, my friend sure would love to watch this, why don't I save it for later so we can watch it together
and then I never fully watch through a show ever unless he comes around once a month

>>280415545
holy aspergers

Toradora every Melli.

>>280411658 (OP)
the longer the interval the better the experience

>>280411658 (OP)
Yuru Yuri whenever I feel depressed.

>>280411658 (OP)
I struggle with rewatching because I can usually remember every scene and plot point even if it’s been years. The plot suspense is a big part of enjoyment for me. One exception to this is GitS SAC & 2nd GIG, I’ve rewatched it about 7 times and it’s always very good with the exception of a couple episodes. I find myself wishing I had a lot of pot or dementia so I could rewatch my favorite shows like it’s the first time.

Has anyone rewatched endless eight eight times? I remember watching it in one go back in the day to see if I'd feel similar to the anons who had to suffer through the same episode 8 weeks in a row, but my experience was quite fun

>>280411658 (OP)
After finishing it since I watch every episode 2 times.

I re-watch my favorites fairly frequently, but I also have shows which I have a relationship to that I can't really put a name to. Shows that I'm not sure what to think of but still think about and find pieces that I really love. I've re-watched Shinsekai yori five times probably and every time I come out with a new opinion of it.
>>280416476
I missed almost all of it because it streamed in the middle of the night for me, looking forward to it this year

>>280416282
I'll have you know /a/ was built on that aspergers

>>280417187
I have not because I've only seen haruhi once so far (first time earlier this year) but I will rewatch EE every time that I rewatch haruhi, so by the end of my life it probably will be 8 times

>>280411658 (OP)
all the time

>>280412380
Yeah, relatable at this point

>>280411658 (OP)
Very often. I keep rewatching shows I really like instead of doing my backlog or watching seasonals. That's just what happens when you get older.

>>280411658 (OP)
if i enjoyed it and if its been a while since ive seen it like 5-10 years
there's only one anime I rewatch every year besides toradora, and thats school rumble every spring

>>280411658 (OP)
I like to do anniversary rewatches of shows I really enjoyed. I'm looking forward to October when I begin my 20th anniversary Aria rewatch. Also there are some shows I like so much that I can't help but rewatch them every now and then, like Patlabor.

If I was then it would have to be for something other than the plot. I can remember what happened in an anime that I last watched over 20 years ago, even stupid shit like a filler episode where piccolo gets his driver's license. I do want to rewatch some of the shows that I saw as a kid in their original Jap dub though.

Why are Tkmiz fans like this?

>>280411658 (OP)
Almost never, unless it's to rewatch a particular episode that I really enjoyed watching.

>>280411658 (OP)
I rewatch Kumo Desu so damn often for whatever reason.
I suppose I'm fantasizing if they didnt fuck it up with the humanshit
I skip past those bits most times.

>>280411658 (OP)

Don't really rewatch shows. As a kid I would rewatch reruns on Toonami all the time, but there's so many shows I have to watch that I don't have time to rewatch them.

Maybe if I ever get a gf and try to get her into anime I'd rewatch some entry-level stuff like FLCL but other than that not really.

>>280414387
dung meshit was so boring

>>280420378
I sometimes get the itch to rewatch it but then I remember the human part and the unity tier background

i don't rewatch enough

I’ve rewatched FLCL maybe 40~ times but other than that anomaly I don’t rewatch most anime and of the ones I do it’s usually 2-4 times over the course of many years.

>>280411658 (OP)
I don't rewatch anymore, if it was that good I wouldn't forget it anyways.

I'll rewatch comedy shows every so often, such as Teekyuu or Shin-chan (adult swim's funimation dub, basically an abridged series).
I rewatch Toradora every year as well.

>>280417187
Watching it in one week wouldn't do it for you. Endless eight was more so the endless summer loop. When it was coming out, all streaming viewers suffered the same episode ALL summer. It was as close to the yuki experience one could get. It was impactful due to it, and albeit a poor reception with the audience, I consider it brilliant.

>>280419763
>I can remember what happened in an anime that I last watched over 20 years ago
This, but I can't remember things that have happened in my life. I legitimately can't remember the first time I had sex, or actually any of them for that matter.
I don't really want to think about the implications.

>>280411658 (OP)
Decently often
Watching something new is always a gamble so returning to something you know you like can be easier
Also you can pick up on stuff you missed the first time around, or just pay a little LESS attention if you want to.

>>280411658 (OP)
I don't have fucking time to rewatch shit, my backlog is too fucking big and still growing.
I think the only series I ever rewatched is Madoka.

I pretty much only rewatch old stuff, or watch old stuff i wanted to see when i was younger. Today's anime just fails to hook me. Maybe its because i keep seeing what normies have to say about it which ruins it for me.

>>280427769
Give me the last three shows you watched.

>>280427769
There's some fun to be had with watching seasonals to shitpost with /a/ about.

>>280427769
>i keep seeing what normies have to say about it which ruins it for me.
I don't use twitter or reddit so I don't have this issue

>>280411658 (OP)
Once in a while.
Lately, I've been doing it more often.
It's not that nu-anime is bad; it's just that some surprisingly good ones have been released recently. I rewatch old series to see how they compare.
I still like both.
My hope for future anime has risen a little.

>>280417739
You should up that number by a factor of 11

>>280426716
Yep, definitely agree, but I figured this was the closest thing I could do to possibly experience some sort of discomfort.
I guess I could try to rewatch endless eight when I have so little time that I can only squeeze in an episode per werk to get even closer. . .

>>280419846
because they are proud panasianist samurais desu

>>280411658 (OP)
I’ve only ever rewatched Naruto. Does atla count as anime?

Oh, Pokemon too I guess.

>>280412380
same
I thought that the longer I wait the better it feels to rewatch. Maybe it will even be as good as the first time.
So far I couldnt convince myself to rewatch any show except klk. It never feels like the right time, and the thought of not liking it after all keeps me from doing it.

>>280427095
so much this, it's easier to rewatch what i alrady enjoyed and know i will enjoy again over risking something new

>>280420378
i have to watch that, i already enjoyed the novel even though i never got around reading the last 2 volumes due to reasons outside of my control

>>280432048
I find it hard to understand this logic, where is the risk? If you don't like it then you just drop it, if you like it then congratulations you have another anime to rewatch. It's a win-win to watch new anime.

>>280411658 (OP)
I rewatch something every night as I pass out

I didn't until recently. Now it's 2/3 rewatches per new old anime I wanna watch, at least until I run out of ikashikei to rewatch at least.

>>280432110
I feel like I owe it to a program to give it a fair shake.
That means at least 3 episodes
And if it's something well-known I sometimes feel like I should stick with it even more
That can mean a lot of time invested
Just finished season 1 of Rozen Maiden. I didn't really like it from the very first episode but given how popular it was here 20 years ago I wanted to see if it got better. It didn't. That means I watched 12 episodes of a show I didn't really like.
Hell I really kinda feel like trying the second season on but I just don't see it getting more enjoyable.
Obviously that's all on me but I think it's a common way of feeling.
Suiseiseki was cute, though

>>280411658 (OP)
Depends. Anime I've rewatched most times is probably Toradora and Haruhi (you know why), outside of events, I think I rewatched Ping Pong 4 times. Gets better every time.
I do like rereading manga more, to be honest. My most reread ones are the ones that flow easily, i.e. Bakuman, Grand Blue, REAL. I usually reread them in a couple seatings after work/during weekends.

>>280432417
>Hell I really kinda feel like trying the second season on but I just don't see it getting more enjoyable.
If you really didn't enjoy SoL Maiden you won't like Drama Maiden so don't bother. I only forced myself to watch it because I loved S1.

>>280432417
Holy retard.

never because im not mentally stunted and would rather seek out new experiences like a healthy human being

>>280432604
Honestly I felt like S1 had too much boring drama.
I never really got to know and like Jun, so his concerns and insecurities leading to his becoming a hiki didn't mean anything to me. He was just a boring character in every sense of the word.
The best episode was the one where they all did some fake acting and that's about as SoL as it got. More of that would have been a lot better.

>>280432770
Yeah ok if you really think S1's """"""""drama"""" was too much you won't last 5 minutes in S2. Go watch something else.
