Default 2/10/08 - 5 most rewatchable anime

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 ^_^

***Voting Closed***

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
he's being chased by imperial soldiers, falls off his horse, gets up on one knee, fires some arrows to take off this guy's arms.

Escaflowne - the story is so perfectly paced, so perfectly structured, that I watch one episode and I find myself needing to watch the rest.
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.

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.
Like the visits to Hanajima's house or the hot springs in Furuba? The Gekigengar recap and beach episodes of Nadesico? Good. Times.


Evangelion - Both of You, Dance Like You Want to Win!!! Great episode. 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.

2. Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children

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.
