Do you guys rewatch anime after years?

[Tsukai Mori]

I tend to do this and it has become a trend of immeasurable worth. In other words, priceless. Recently, I bought Shingetsutan Tsukihime, an anime I've watched at the mere age of, cough, 11. Since it has been 4 years (I'm turning 16 so don't jump too much), I decided to revisit the story and to my surprise, I remember absolutely nothing. In fact, I don't even remember if I finished the anime. Essentially, this means that the anime is completely new to me now. Anyone else do this? How about listing some anime?

- On a side note, I still feel the gothic fear and sensation produced by this masterpiece (in my opinion). I wonder if I could handle Elfen Lied?

-Edit
Wait a minute, what is the rating on Elfen Lied? Now that I think about it, is Tsukihime even appropriate for an 11 year old?

[Jyunishinsho]

Yup. I've watched Saber Marionette J before, now I'm back onto it.

[Eri]

Most definitely... I think the times I've watched Midori no Hibi (Midori Days) can be counted on two hands.. Maybe I need a foot, but I don't quite remember ^^;;

[RyuHayabusa]

I'v watched Rozen Maiden again just to prepare myself for the 2nd season. and Eva,  I've rewatched like 4 times already and it never gets old. :D I should rewatch Utena one of these days as well. :D

[KimaLucifer]

*stares at her copies of "Blue Blink", "Akuma-kun", "Bushbaby"*

Yup. I look back at them

[Blues]

I've seen Otaku no Video several times, though I don't know if that counts, being a movie...

I've seen Eva about 3 or 4 times over, I've rewatched the first season of DiGi Charat a couple times, along with Read or Die, and I've lost count of the number of times I've seen FLCL...

I usually wait until a year or so after I've seen it, and have forgotten all the little details about the plot and such, so it's interesting all over again.  There are some exceptions, though, like Otaku no Video and FLCL, where I just stare in awe the whole time and can't wait to watch it again.

[Tsubasa]

I rewatch stuff periodically.  Just whenever I feel like it.  Whether because it's been too long and I've forgotten the story or just because it's so awesome it demands a rewatching.  For example, I've seen Azumanga a few times, Nadesico at least a couple, Happy Lesson TV three to four times immediately in succession, Nanoha A's twice in a row, etc.

Man, has it been 4 years already?  I feel old. ^^;

Yup. I've watched Saber Marionette J before, now I'm back onto it.

Coincidentally, I also acquired Saber Marionette J about a year ago on DVD and rewatched it.  It's a beautiful series.

I can never disagree with that statement. I consider it the best old-school drawn anime I ever seen, and I still do.

[Sunara Ishi]

I also watch things periodically over the years whenever I feel like. I normally don't forget a story so yeah... I don't rewatch things often because of that but I do rewatch after awhile. Unless I hated the series...

[YoureMyHiro]

Sometimes I just rewatch anime after a few weeks just to because I loved it so much, the anticipation of certain parts and to see if I missed anything previously.

[AbsolutelyCursed]

Right now I'm watching Eva for the 3rd time. Also have watched Nadesico and FLCL multiple times. Probably will watch Fullmetal Alchemist again in the future.

[MeliCat]

I watch older series all the time. I love Nadeshiko, Fushigi Yuugi and Trigun. : 3

[Shinsengumi]

I do watch all anime series that I have, only on the good parts like Rurouni Kenshin and also Peacemake Kurogane, Nadiesco, Samurai Troopers, Saint Seiya, Space Battleship Yamato, and Robotech.

[ININ]

Evangelion three times, Fushigi Yuugi two times, Cowboy Bebop two times, Ranma 1/2 a lot during my early years in anime.

Also I pick my favorite episodes to watch.  For example, Cowboy Bebop episode two with Ein, Spike vs. Vicious in the church, episode with the flower and the blind lady needing an operation, and Spike vs. Andy ^_^

[Mordyan]

Yeah anime is definitely worth re-watching. I tend to pick-up on stuff I missed the first time. Plus I like to watch it in both english dub and Japanese subtitled. Some times I want to read.... sometimes I don't.  :D

I have seen most of the titles on my shelf at least twice. Though there are a few that i am due to re-watch.  :lol:

[Jyunishinsho]

It is a pretty good feeling to take an old anime off a shelf and rewatch it after a while. Suddenly, you might get right back into it.

[Bata-kun]

Wait a minute, what is the rating on Elfen Lied? Now that I think about it, is Tsukihime even appropriate for an 11 year old?

For us, it's 16+?  The same goes for "Tsukihime".  If by appropriate, you mean you'll be able to understand it, I doubt it.

Oh and to answer the poll's question, I'll hardly rewatch an anime.  If I do, most, if not, all of the time, I'll rewatch it just it's a movie and there's a dub.  Otherwise, I hardly rewatch anime because I don't have time to do that anymore.  I don't even reread manga.  I was about to reread "Love Hina" and I started collecting "LH's" tankoubon, but guess what?  You can't get the side novels by Hazuki Kurou-san anymore as far as I know.  "Zero" and "Mugendai" are not easy to find either.

[Tony]

I've done this a few times with some series. Off the top of my head, I've watched the end of Evangelion (and the movies) a few times and Patlabor 2 about half a dozen times.

Some anime are crafted to an extent that rewatching them is critical; others are disposable.

[Kazuko]

hells yes I do :3!!
Sailor moon, card captor sakura, and ranma 1/2 >D <3

[Ambrosia]

*Dangles from a rafter and waves to anyone who remembers him* Hmmm Ai Yori Aoshi I watch it every now and then when I need multiple girl on poor misused beaten up guy action....*sniff* and a good cry :(  ^_^
