2/10/08 - 5 most rewatchable anime - Anime-Planet forum

Cetonis · 02-03-2008, 10:50 PM

This week we'll be voting for the 5 most rewatchable anime! There were some issues with vagueness last week; hopefully this one's a bit easier to get the mind around.

Which anime do you find yourself watching again and again despite knowing all the outcomes, all the plot twists, all the jokes, all the answers to the mysteries? Not necessarily your favorite series, but the ones you just go back to, for reasons you may or may not know? I look forward to seeing what sort of trends show up...

Happy Voting ^_^

The top 5:

FLCL
Azumanga Daioh
Fullmetal Alchemist
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Cowboy Bebop

Thanks for voting!

This is a hard topic for me, as i have rewatched a lot of my stuff a few times...
The top 5 would be the following i guess:

1) Hajime no Ippo - animation in the first is awesome
2) Rurouni Kenshin - only the Kyoto arc, but it's so well-paced
3) DN Angel - very original story, loved the romance part
4) Jungle wa Itsumo Hale nochi Guu - great comedies stay great tbh
5) GetBackers - just because Ginji is my favorite character tbh

Honorable mentions
It was really hard to judge which i've seen the most as the following are also in my rewatch list from time to time: Grenadier, Hellsing, My-HiME & Trigun

Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children - being action-driven with the fights totally unrivalled, and being short enough, I have found myself able to go back over and over and over
Ninja Scroll - this one never gets old
Princess Mononoke - again, the story is so great, and the part I always look forward to is the bit when

Revolutionary Girl Utena
Martian Successor Nadesico
Fruits Basket
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Loveless

It's hard to find a good anime that can both keep you awake and put you to sleep. I've plopped in the first four titles to do both of those. I also would imagine finding it hard to rewatch anything much longer than these shows, too. Utena's 39-episode run is pushing it.

Utena - The atmosphere and the music really win out again. It helps that Utena herself has many qualities I find admirable, so it's cool seeing her do her thing again.

Nadesico and Fruits Basket - I think one thing that a series has to have going for it to be rewatchable is memorable characters that are like friends you want to see again. These series both have that going for them. They also have stand-alone episodes that never seem to get old.

Ninja Scroll
Princess Mononoke

Escaflowne · 02-04-2008, 02:55 AM

1)FLCL - i could watch it 100000 times and would never be enough.
2)Animatrix - aww,these ovas are some of the best i've seen.i've watched A kid's story like 15 times.
3)Suzumiya Haruhi
4)Evangelion
5)Cowboy Bebop - just because every single episode is so great that you'll never be bored to watch it.

purplemo · 02-04-2008, 03:38 AM

I'll just go with what I've rewatched the most.

Azumanga Daioh
FMP Fumoffu
Crest of the Stars Series
Kiddy Grade
Gunslinger Girl

Kenikki · 02-04-2008, 04:33 AM

1. Rurouni Kenshin: Tsuiokuhen
2. Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children
3. Azumanga Daioh
4. Ouran High School Host Club
5. Neon Genesis Evangelion (rewatched this more than #3&4 but that's also cause it was one of the first I ever saw through)

Other worth mentioning: Sexy Commando, Baccano!, Trigun, Naruto, Macross: Do You Remember Love, The Melancholy Of Suzumiya Haruhi, KARAS, Iketeru Futari, FLCL, Dragon Half (cause it's only 2 eps)

filippy · 02-04-2008, 04:49 AM

1)Azumanga Daioh
2)Lucky Star
3)Pani Poni Dash
4)Neo Genesis Evangelion
5)FMA

About the first three, i just never get bore of them, no matter how many time i watch the same joke it's always funny. Evangelion is just so freaking confusing that is almost default to re-watch-looking-for-hidden-answers, and FMA was my second anime, and I re watched it a LOT

- Paprika
- The Place Promised in Our Early Days
- Full Metal Panic! fumoffu
- Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni
- Ghost in the Shell S.A.C.

This one is going to be interesting. I rarely watch my anime more than once, except those I own on dvd, so I went with the few anime that are on my re-watch list.

Neon Genesis Evangelion - you will always pick up new details, and as my mind matures, so does my interpretation of the show, so rewatching is always fun The above are in the order of 'most rewatched'. I generally don't rewatch that much anime - not even my top favourites - because I'm too busy watching new stuff. And I'm the kind of person who usually takes years before wanting to revisit a show, especially series. FF's top spot on my list is simply because within a space of months, I had rewatched it about 10 times, and that never happens to me. Lol. The best surprise rewatch was NGE, because I liked it even more the second time than I did the first. __________________ Introduce a friend... to be stalked!

I mostly rewatch early Eva, while it was still pretty light and episodic. I keep meaning to have a one-day marathon with my friends, but it still hasn't happened. Loveless - I haven't rewatched this series yet, but ever since I finished it the first time I've wanted to. I thought it was really weird and gross when it started, but it totally blew me away. __________________
