Seeing the Strike Witches wallpaper gallery over at Sankaku Complex (which includes this lovely one of Sanya and Eila) has made me want to watch the entire series again. I remember enjoying the series so much that I re-watched Sanya's episode while waiting for my comrade to record the latest EP of Strike Witches. How often do you re-watch anime shows? Are there series which you have watched again and again? BTW, the OST to Strike Witches is awesome - great for listening to while coding.

I never really rewatch the limited anime that I watch. Except one's that I have not seen in many years....

If a series is short and interesting enough to marathon in one night I'll re-watch it. GiTS is probably the most re-watched anime in my list.

I used to rewatch anime when I was just getting started - Love Hina holds the record at 6 runs. Mai-HiME/Mai-Otome I ran through thrice each. But that was back when I didn't check anime news. Nowadays, I'd mark an anime as rewatch-worthy be never get back to it. Too much new stuff on my list I could be watching instead. ^^;

Sorry for double-posting, but just looked through those wallpapers.

I guess I only rewatch anime that I really loved, that being Manabi Straight(Record 8 rewatches), Ichigo Mashimaro, and now, Strike Witches. (A couple more I can't name off the top of my head.) When I'm waiting for the next release of currently airing anime, rewatching your old favs is fun, and you catch a lot of things you missed before. :3 As well, rewatching the shows you watched a couple of years ago is always fun. :)

There are a few animes that I rewatch quite a bit. Mostly I just watch a series and never go back to it again. The ones that leave the biggest impression are the ones I rewatch the most.
(ID #346920) Posted on 2008/10/26 09:29
I rematch anime sometimes too. The anime I watch time and time over again is Ichigo Mashimaro. It just NEVER gets old to me. Miu Matsuoka has me laughing every time.

I don't rewatch older series very often, and if I do, I end up rewatching always the same. My most rewatched series are for sure Evangelion and the GITS universe. Like the SWs OST too^^

Usually when I re-watch anime it's to share a really good one with a friend. But rarely do I re-watch something on my own. At least not a whole series.
(ID #346931) Posted on 2008/10/26 09:47
Extensions like DownthemAll are perfect for those galleries, already saved all those lovely pics here ;) Probably heard SW OP and multiple ED over a hundred times in the last 2 months, love em. Need to get the OST tho, I miss hearing Sanya's song. Rewatch old classics/favorites every once in a while, have a soft spot for early 90s as thats when I got involved in all this craziness ^^
(ID #346932) Posted on 2008/10/26 09:48
I usually only re-watch series that I bought on DVD or that I didn't finish watching a longer time ago. An exception from this habit is Neon Genesis Evangelion. I don't know exactly how many times I watched that series but it's a two-digit number of times. I will re-watch Strike Witches once the uncensored DVD version has been completely released. :)

I rewatch series all the time. But some series I find more rewatchable than others. Hayate no Gotoku and all its crazy jokes and references was very rewatchable. But Death Note (being a suspense thriller) was hard to get into again knowing everything that happens.

I haven't re watched an entire series in awhile, mostly cause I'm busy watching new stuff. Lately though I rewatched Eureka 7 and the naruto episodes where Rock Lee fights Gaara in the Chuunin exams, and where Gaara fights Kimimoro.

I rarely rewatch an anime. At least not an whole series or season. But it's common for me to rewatch some of my favorite scenes or episodes. Ah that gallery has so many great wallpapers... trying to keep myself from saving all of them.
(ID #346966) Posted on 2008/10/26 10:28
I watch quite a lot over and over. There are those with great story I like, and those which I just watch for the laugh. I've watched NGE many times over now, amongst others. But I'd say I lmit to re-watching about 10 tmes if I really like it. Except for Lucky Star. Which I seem to have been religiously rewatching every month or so. Then again there are other which I have watched just once, and thought against watching twice because I thought it would ruin the experience I had first time around. Example of that being Elfen Lied. So depends on gengre and quality for me ^__^ (Infact I rewatched this last couple weeks Naruto a few times already. Good stuff.>__<)

I rewatch stuff I liked when I'm waiting for new episodes to air. I watched One Piece 3 times(up to the water seven arc). I rewatched coboy bebop, samurai champloo, minami-ke s1, naruto, bleach, hellsing, etc. I also rewatch american show like buffy or alias. Most of the time I prefer to watch stuff all in one go so for most new series I wait until they are complete unless and can't wait until I see the next episode.

(ID #346977) Posted on 2008/10/26 10:45
I believe I've only rewatched Planetes (since it's my favourite series), and Lucky Star because it gives me a warm happy feeling inside. I rarely rewatch the series/movies that I buy - too many new things to see. Also, the categorized galleries are one of my favourite features of Sankaku Complex. So much great eye candy there.

(ID #347056) Posted on 2008/10/26 12:00
It really depends on the anime for me. I tend to re-watch the more funny and memorable ones (or at least those moments), but I tend to watch sad/tragic anime only once. I'd just find it kinda upsetting to watch my favorite character die over and over again.
(ID #347082) Posted on 2008/10/26 12:23
I've re-watched both seasons of Stand Alone Complex a number of times, my favourite anime. Oh and I've also re-watched azumanga.

My Goddess, Last Exile, Akira, Ninja Scroll, Genshiken, Kenshin (especially the OAV's), GTO Liva action, Initial D Live action movie. I re-watched Deathnote before I bought the live action movies.

i find that it's good to watch an anime series at least twice cos u might miss out something the first time round. like for example when the series ended, re-watch it again and you might get a better understanding on why the characters do this or that which lead to what happen in the later episodes. i re-watch an anime episode 2 to 3 times if i'm writing an anime review. i recently re-watched macross frontier and gundam 00 series 1. currently re-watching CLANNAD. ^^;
(ID #347123) Posted on 2008/10/26 13:47

It's kinda rare... usually when I'm organizing my animes, or when I'm writting a recomendation, or when I call friends to watch stuff. Rurouni Kenshin Tsuyoku Hen and Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi must be the ones I've watched the most... probably more than 10 times already.

I rarely re-watch anime series. I may occasionally just watch an episode alone or certain parts within an episode. The only series which I did re-watch entirely was Evangelion, because I haven't watched it for more than 10 years.

If you want to re-watch "Strike Witches", perhaps wait for all DVD versions to be out, since they'll be more steamy due to the absence of steam. ^^

Yes, wonderful wall, I got it yesterday, thanks to your article pointing to Sankaku Complex (which is chockfull of Win). I re-watch anime all the time when it's good. Read Or Die OVA+TV holds the record whit 4.5 re-watches so far. For movies FFVII Advent Children and The Adolescence of Utena are in a tie with 4 re-watches so far. In fact I'm currently re-watching Code Geass R1.

The animes I've re-watched to death would be Code Geass, Boys Be, Slam Dunk, Rurouni Kenshin and Love Hina. heheh! You can probably notice that most of them are from the late 90s-2k. That shows that anime these days are really not that good compared to my early years of anime watching. :D for me anyways

Well I mostly rewatch previous episodes of some series while I wait for the newest ones, but there's only one whole series which constantly get back too. It's Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei (both seasons). I'm totally in love with the series. Just as I'm in love with all other shows I watched (ie. Spice and Wolf, Haruhi) this one totally pwned my mind and makes me rewatch single episodes, by few per week XD

It depends on what anime it is. I would watch every anime at least 2 times. After that it depends if I liked the story/characters a lot which will keep me going back to it. For example I have seen Eva like 5-6 times, as well as Macross. GitS I have seen it twice only, and it's a superb series, I just can't find the time to re-watch it again. And I deserve a slap, I still haven't gone past Ep.2 of Strike Witches...was watching Macross Frontier. Sheryl is sooo incredibly hot yum yum.
