Which anime you most re-watched and why?

>>152611849
Clannad + After story 6+ times. It's entertaining. It has multiple themes.

I have watched nearly 300 shows (inb4 >that's not many) and have not once felt compelled to rewatch one. Not even FLCL, which is both my favourite show and only 6 episodes long. Just too much shit to look foward to which could potentially be my next favourite, why go back you know?

What I would like to know is why you would go back to a series that likes at least 4 hours or in the case of Haruhi Suzumiya 8 hours when there is so much else you could be watching?

I get it and go it with films all the time but mainly because they at typically half the length of a one-cour series and more cohesive and therefore easier to sit through.

>>152611849
Clannad and Clannad AS.

I enjoyed a lot of Nagisa scene and her ost.

>>152612015
*lasts at least 4 hours

Evangelion or Bakemonogatari

>>152611849
gurren lagann, because I love the ending so much

yuyushiki and yuru yuri are the only ones I've bothered watching multiple times

FLCL because it's less than two hours.

>>152611849

Haruhi.
I had it on my old iPod nano and I would rewatch it on car rides and shit (this was nearly 10 years ago). I still rewatch it every few years and read them LN.
It has my favourite characters, atmosphere and overall feel in any anime.

Chobits and Elfen Lied

Hidamari, because it heals my wrecked soul like no other.

>What I would like to know is why you would go back to a series when there is so much else you could be watching?
Because you know you get something good. Enjoyment does not depend on novelty. Also you change through the experiences you make and may feel very different about a show if you watch it again years later. Also just knowing where the show goes can making it a very different experience.

I'm not suprised though, that a flcl fag would ask something this dumb. Go kill yourself.

I've seen a load of shows twice, but I haven't gone for a third go on any yet.

I watched for the tanoshii

I think mine is Black Rock Shooter TV series, I think I saw it 2-3 times (streaming) before I got the limited edition box set for a cheap $240 after waiting like 2 years for it to drop from $420 (the reversed numbers make it easy to remember the exact prices)and I watched it like another 13-14 times in the following 2 weeks.

The figure is still unopened. I'm not enough of a buyfag to have a proper display case.

>>152612787
I only properly rewatched it a couple of times, but I watch random episodes (literally roll an RNG) all of the time. All in all I've probably watched every episode about 10 times on average.

>>152612817
I agree, seeing her fight Insane Black Rock Shooter was fantastic, especially since none of the other girls were able to hold their own against BRS, let alone Insane BRS

My favorite part of the fight was when STR has a mental breakdown and gets her extra ogre arms and just casually slaps Insane BRS against the pillar she was standing on before throwing the cannon away.

I want a Strength figure with four ogre arms badly, someday I will be a true buyfag

This. I'm emotionally attached to it.

I think Akagi is the only one I've rewatched, and that was just so I would remember everything that happened in the Washizu match before I started the manga.

I generally dislike rewatching shows because I feel I could be watching new shows with that time.

Sometimes rewatching something helps you appreciate it more. You might catch something you missed before, or you try to look at the story from a certain perspective rather than the intended one. Also, sometimes "rewatching" just means "putting it on in the background while doing something else". I "rewatch" shows all the time that way.

SDF Macross and Black Lagoon, tied at 4

When I first watched SDF Macross Hikaru's constant fucking up really resonated deep with my own fuck ups and it honestly helped me get through them. I rewatch it every year or so.

Black Lagoon just because I really fucking like Black Lagoon

>rewatch
I have this thing called a backlog OP. I don't have time to rewatch

Cowboy Bebop, because it's my favorite, its episodic nature makes it easy to just pick up an episode here or there, and because I first watched it back in 2005 and I've had a lot of opportunities since then.

Yuru yuri, it makes me happy
>>152619600

FLCL because it's short.
Followed by either Azumanga Daioh or Excel Saga which I both watched some 3 or 4 times.

If only I had more time I would rewatch them again.

>>152611849
Oofuri, probably like 7 times already. Still I never can quite remember what's the correct end score of the Tosei match so it feels fresh everytime I watch it.

Akagi is very rewatchable

Cowboy Bebop because it's the only good anime

Eva is pretty much the only thing i've ever rewatched more than once or twice and that's probably at least 30% just because i want to watch EoE. I usually rewatch it around this time of year, I don't know if I will this year though.

Even though I don't rewatch stuff often, I will say, to those of you asking what the point is: rewatching it at a different time can drastically change how you see a series, especially if you watched it while it aired. I watched penguindrum while it aired, and it was a 9/10 for me, the biggest problem being with the pacing. i rewatched it all at once a couple years later and marathoning it made the pacing 1000x better. brought it up to a 10/10

>>152611849
Yuyu Hakusho, somewhere between 11 and 13 times by now. I imagine Initial D comes in second.

Sometimes I just need something to watch on the side with half my attention, and those are my go-to. I've found that only action shows can really be rewatched. I can't rewatch drama/mystery/romance shows because I still remember everything that happened 5+ years later.

I don't really re-watch anime but I quite like re-watching Moyashimon because it's unique, has decent comedy and is quite short. Think I've seen it 4 times now.

For some reason I've re-watched Yakitate Japan 3 times.
