How often do you rewatch anime?

Over the years, I have occasionally fallen into ruts where I cannot bring myself to watch any new anime series and instead I find myself rewatching anime that I have already seen and therefor know that I enjoy. I have watched certain episodes of Death Note, Baccano, Soul Eater, Hellsing, FMA: Brotherhood, Code Geass and even Bleach multiple times. There's a certain comfort in sticking an anime I like on in the background that I can half pay attention to whilst doing something more productive, that you simply cannot get when you are watching a new series and feel the need to pay attention. I'm curious if this is a common occurrence, something you guys also enjoy doing, or if I have a problem and need to seek help. So, how often do you rewatch anime, if at all?

 

That's something that I was thinking of the other day and wanted to ask lol In my case, I'm the complete opposite. I'm always looking for new anime I haven't seen to expand my anime knowledge. It usually takes me years before I rewatch an anime series but there are a few exceptions.

 

I do not think it is an uncommon occurrence at all, I re watch anime that I like. It does depend though on stuff like, how long ago did I see it, did I like it then, stuff like that. I have re watched Baka and Test season one, I have re watched the first 200 episodes of Bleach twice and there are a couple parts in the first season I watch when I want to see something I really enjoy. I can't think of any others of the top of my head. I plan on re watching Blood+, Eureka Seven, Busou Renkin, and some others.

 

I get a little fanatical about some anime I've watched that I re watch them a lot. I've watched bleach all the way through twice now, ghost hunt at least 8 times, sword art online 7, dbz I've seen 3 times 2 for gt, high school of the dead 4 times, the list goes on and on I have a problem. I'm also gonna re watch ghost hunt probably 2 more times in the spirit of Halloween.

 

Not as often as I used to, due to not having any much time these days, so I wanna get through my backlog.
I've watched my fave anime, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, a total of three times, including the 3-hour-movie and the "dreaded" (I actually find it enjoyable) Endless Eight. Been meaning to rewatch Haruhi-chan as well; only seen that once.

 

The most I've rewatched was When They Cry which I've probably finished about four times. I make a yearly thing out of watching it, since it's my favorite anime. I might rewatch No Game No Life as well. Normally I don't rewatch things but I sometime make exceptions.

 

I've rewatched Paranoia Agent twice. Rewatched Death Note. (I don't count watching reruns of Pokemon and DBZ when I was younger). What about giving a series a second chance? Like, I used to catch bits of Gundam Wing and Tenchi Muyo! on Toonami when I was younger, (never seemed to make time for the shows). So I watched them properly over the last 3-4 years. Ended up really enjoying both shows I think the only other series I have bothered to rewatch is Serial Experiments Lain (though only particular episodes), the same goes for Neon-Genesis Evangelion.

I have to admit, I can never bring myself to rewatch an anime series. (Which is probably why I end up forgetting the plot to so many of them). Some are certainly rewatchable, but I would rather watch rewatch a series with friends who are seeing for the first time. It makes it more enjoyable Only with Paranoia Agent was I able to do this

 

I only re-watch anime if I've got nothing new to watch other than new release anime, and on my list I've got Index II, Hellsing Ultimate IX & X, Saber Marionette, Shugo Chara, Digimon Fusion and a few catch-ups, I always watch something that comes around out of nowhere but, I usually re-watch something that I REALLY enjoyed so much that no matter how many episodes it has, I'll re-watch it

 

Only non H anime that i've ever re-watched were Kodocha and Hatsukoi Limited. Only those that fit my genre of choice and have great writing can make me come back for a second/third go.

 

I think another reason to re-watch an anime is if you watch a dub anime and the dub is incomplete so you watch the subs from the beginning, it does happen at times

 

I've done this. A couple times.

 

All of this and then some. Except code geass, iv seen that a good 5 times

 

Get ready to watch gurren laggan 15 times then too, lol

 

Ill re-watch an anime when ever the mood strikes me.I have finished a show and re-watched it not even a week later just depends how i feel.Some shows are just that good.

 

I re-watch anime all the time. For example, I've watched air gear now 8-10 times now. But that was also my first love in anime.
If I'm in a certain mood ill watch an anime that caters to it-- that or watch something new that I know closely resembles that anime.
