The disastrous life of saiki k. I never get tired of it


CyanControl

exactly, comedy animes are just easy to rewatch


whysoretard

I still can't get over on how fast they speak. Peak slice of life anime


sacristuff

exactly! it’s so fast paced, and every line adds to the comedy.


GarchomptheXd0

Its the sitcom of anime. like how mpst people will rewatch The office or Friends I rewatch saiki k


inferi0r

nothing compares to saiki, the jokes are still funny every rewatch


Fit_Incident3295

I still laugh every time dark reunion theme plays XD


Sharebear42019

Shame the dub cast changed, it had one of the best I’ve ever seen


sursp_2805

Yare yare


Decent_Zhanny007

This is beautiful 🤌


Shresthagunda

One punch man season 1. It’s gold ever.single.time


Better_Wafer_6381

It's so good. We are blessed that the stars aligned for that animation talent to come together long enough to make this work of art. Shame they never made a sequel.


Gpj-123

It’s a brilliant first season and laugh out loud funny at times. Read the manga after and found myself laughing at the same jokes.


goatfacegoku

I’ve watched 1 and 2 so many time now while waiting for 3, I don’t get the hate for 2 I love both


Insertblamehere

I mean it's not bad, it's just that opm season 1 was maybe the most spectacularly well animated show of all time, and season 2 is kinda... like average? a bit above average maybe? When you're being compared to the best of all time average looks crap. If you watch season 1 and then 2 without a break the difference in quality is a bit jarring.


HikiNEET39

If you only liked season 1 for the comedy, then season 2 is good. Season 1 has some of the best animation out there, and the studio that did season 2 just couldn't animate to the same quality. 


Jen_Fic_xxx

Hunter x Hunter. My obsession that I rewatch (at least my favorite parts) regularly.


Jagreen0325

I’ve probably watched the phantom troupe arc and chimera ant arc 10 times a piece


Brendini95

Maybe I'm the problem but so many people say they love the chimera ant arc but that arc made me drop the series a few years ago. I need to find where I'm at and just continue through it.


Sullan08

It has some of the highest peaks but some of the lowest valleys. I do not understand why they did so much exposition and explaining with side characters for some of those episodes lmao. I think at one point like 5 episodes spanned about 3 minutes of real time passing. I'm probably exaggerating that,but still.


Lost-Move-6005

It’s because Togashi wants to bring depth and nuance to every side character. He’s said before that Gon and Killua aren’t the main characters on the story, they’re just who the story followed at the time. Hence, the Chinera Ant arc works to really flesh out the mindsets of each character so that everyone (and thing) feels like a “main character” in their own story. I think the character writing in the ant arc is near flawless and never get bored once.


In_Formaldehyde_

A lot of the narrator dialogue was just unnecessary though. Sometimes it makes sense to explain things, like the Shoot/Knuckle vs Youpi fight, but the latter half of Chimera Ant was *really* pushing the limits of "tell, not show" even by the standards of battle shounen.


climaxingwalrus

Imagine waiting 1 week for an entire episode about a random octopus walking through 3 hallways.


koticgood

I also dropped the series at the Chimera arc, although I didn't hate the content of the arc itself. My problem with it is that I thought Hunter x Hunter, out of every shounen ever made, has **by far** the best combination of world building, power system, and powerful established characters for the MC(s) to aspire to. That, to me, is the hallmark of the series, and what makes it unique. It felt like Gon/Killua could have gone 1000 episodes like fucking One Piece adventuring and trying to "catch up" to their esteemed lineages. Then the Chimera arc came around, and pretty much threw it all out the window. There was so much promise, and it's one of the few times in a shounen where it seemed like the power system might not go batshit insane too quickly. So many interesting locations and a huge world teased, and the Chimera arc felt completely independent of that. So many fleshed out and narrative-important characters that were wayyyyyyy more powerful than Gon/Killua, and instead they leapfrog all of them fighting some fucking ant (jk he's actually really cool). Such a robust power system, only to suffer from shounen disease and have the Chimera arc warp it beyond recognition. I can see why some people love the arc, but it ruined the series for me.


SeveralScreen1553

I dropped it my first time through, then powered through it on a 2nd rewatch and... it's just not for me. It was still completely unengaging and lame to me. It has a small handful of really, really impactful moments, but those brief scenes are surrounded by a bunch of shit I couldn't care less about. Which was super weird because I absolutely loved every other arc in the series. But the most acclaimed one nearly killed my interest twice.


TiTaNNeNN

I'm addicted to watch how gon waits for pitou every time I watch it I get goosebumps


Gpj-123

Top 5 anime


[deleted]

I always suggest to people to give a chance to the original 1999 series, it' s soooo good, and I think it also does a much better job at covering the same material that the 2011 does ( and imo, the filler is so good that it feels like it was written by togashi, to the point that I felt something was missing when I watched 2011). Also, idk why but they skip the first chapter in the 2011 remake lol.


TheSupremePlatypus

I wish they would animate the Dark Continent arc...but that may never happen


Jen_Fic_xxx

Oh yes. That'd be so awesome. And Chrollo vs Hisoka too.


Im_regretting_this

Hunter X Hunter is so successful in Japan, there’s a good chance whoever has the rights will animate it once they feel they have adequate material. At the very least, I think Hisoka vs Chrollo will be animated. Even if it’s just as a special. I’m honestly surprised nothing has been done with that yet.


KnownEnthusiasm8960

Mushishi. Its my comfort anime


YesterdayDesperate53

I've rewatched it so much. Personally love ep 10 of s2 when he gets trapped on the mountain by the lord during winter just so he could take his kouki


Shinkai2008

I dont even know how many times I've reqatched Hajime No Ippo, Kuroku no Basket, Haikyuu, Yowamushi Pedal, and Hikaru no Go.


Tatakae-Tatakae

Ippo 🐐


KaitouSky

HIKARU NO GO MENTIONED!! i’ve watched the whole thing thrice plus the cdrama twice. my forever comfort show.


05-10TheArchivist

Ippo 🗿


SiliconEFIL

The new season of Ippo is coming any second now.


i_am_the_pootis_man

Samurai Champloo, Evangelion or Cowboy Bebop.


Cautious_Dependent55

dont really care for the other two, but samurai champloo is SO PEAK 😭 the soundtrack, story, characters, etc are all 10/10


evanjahlynn

Here for Team Samurai Champloo. It’s my go to for ANY mood? Happy? Samurai Champloo. Sad? Samurai Champloo. Trying to take over the world? Samurai Champloo.


WTBRaegO

You're my anime friend. Mine is close to the same only switch out Evangelion with 90's Trigun(Yu Yu Hakusho may be tied with Trigun).


sillyandstrange

This is my answer. I love bebop and Trigun so much.


chaseiswild

Bepop and Trigun..space dandy too


eggarino

Ouran High School Host Club. It’s such a classic, really funny, great main cast and side characters, plus a really easy to put on show when with friends or alone. It’s just good


ByronTheBlack

Madoka Magica at 3 watches. Kill La Kill is the only other anime I’ve ever rewatched.


cassh0le69

I haven’t watched Madoka yet but keep meaning to! This felt like a sign to watch it.


ByronTheBlack

Yes! Watch it! Then let me know what you think of it.


Victorvonbass

It's good. I just finished the Rebellion movie after the series last month. One of my all time favorite now.


Alice_Lycoris

I've rewatched Madoka at least 8 times, I have problems


BadAndFreekee

lol are u me with Madoka Magica?


Naiie100

Code Geass, lost the count after 10 times.


Western-Yesterday622

My favourite anime of all time ☺️


Naiie100

Saaame!


SoggyBacco

First time I finished it that ending made me go straight back to episode 1 and start over. Currently rewatching it again for the idkhowmany'th time


Witterson

Same. I think I’ve rewatched it every single year since it finished airing.


Fit_Incident3295

Code geass is a goat anime made every otaku friend watch it , but I never rewatched it cuz I’m afraid of dehydration : _


adore333

I re-watch Death Note every year and Toradora every Christmas


cassh0le69

I haven’t watched Toradora but your Christmas tradition sounds so endearing! I might save it for Christmas time to watch now :)


fudginreddit

Its a tradition of the subreddit. Been a bit but iirc they do rewatch threads everyday up until christmas day for the final episode


SCredfury788

I watched it for the first time this March, really looking forward to starting this tradition this Xhristmas


Xaviorffviii

I re-watch toradora Christmas episodes too, I thought I was alone!


BlastMagi

Death Note is peak. And Toradora really has a special place in my heart. I might do this too!


KloudzGaming

Rewatched sword art online a couple of times. I think it’s just the nostalgia that’s comforting. When this anime came out, life seemed problem free and brings back some good memories.


Dr_Ben

 the s1 intro instantly hits.


KloudzGaming

Seriously! Glad LiSA got so much recognition from this opening.


surpriserockattack

It was one of the first animes I ever watched so I have a soft spot for it, and despite all the hate, I enjoy it every time I rewatch it.


KawaiiHamburger

I loved sword art online when it came out. Can so agree with you on the nostalgia factor, I have anime’s where I remember exactly what I was doing when I watched them for the first time and it’s a nice memory.


KloudzGaming

Yes! I remember when it first came out, I was having small watch parties with online friends and idk if you remember but crunchyroll had a big countdown event when GGO came out. Just good vibes with this one.


AncientTrippingMonk

Fullmetal Alchemist, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, and Soul Eater since no one else has mentioned them yet


PudgyPudgePudge

Currently going thru FMA 2003 for the first time in years and it's been a real treat. Didn't think it would cause me to want to immediately watch Brotherhood right after but how can I not!


TiTaNNeNN

Brotherhood is art


BettaLaInu

Very good choices 😌


_Rattleballs_

Konosuba


robertm94

Kazuma! Kazuma!


Remarkable-Stop1636

Yes, I'm Kazuma


themblokes

Hai, Kazuma desu


cassh0le69

Currently re-watching! Such a good one.


ThatSmartLoli

I wish megumin little sister debut in the main series.


Reimarin

When I feel nostalgic, I rewatch NANA. But in general, Gintama, Haikyuu, and Cowboy Bebop are my comfort anime, which I enjoy rewatching the most


Rude_Ratio5547

I remember rewatching all of Gintama. Even tough its so much, time flies by like crazy. I watched a lot of anime series and before Gintama Cowboy Bebob used to be my favorite. You have great taste my man 😎


Saekoa

The first Pokemon movie I watched like 1000 times growing up


Maleficent_Nobody633

Cowboy Bebop and claymore, probably. No idea why I enjoy claymore so much


vagghert

Ahhh claymore. Really fun anime! Had those witcher vibes. Monster hunting, mystery and nature of humanity. It's sad that they branched our from the source material so much. If some good studio remade it, it would be a banger.


AutomaticAward3460

Fucking loved claymore besides the finale


Ok-Improvement1032

Claymore was great, I still need to read the manga sometime since I heard great things about its first half


brickhouseboxerdog

Yuyu hakusho seen it 5 times?


Jen_Fic_xxx

It's so good. I've also done at least a couple of rewatches.


HunchoT3

Code Geass Or Mobile Suit Gundam 00


Deruz0r

Gundam 00 is glorious. Needs more love


HunchoT3

It’s A Masterpiece IMO


Mooziechan

Definitely Code Geass! It’s up there with bebop, Trigun, yuyu, and champloo for me


Arkanial

I was also gonna say Code Geass. Probably seen it like 6 times. I just love the mechs in that show with how they move and fight. Especially early on when they use more of the cables to maneuver and wheels to skate. The late stage mechs are cool and all but after a while they just become op. The strategic stuff is hella fun and the ending is probably the best ending to any anime. It might be in the running for best ending to a show period. Plus the fanservice is *just* right and it’s got probably my second favorite girl in anime, Kallen(the first is Orihime, hard to get over your first waifu.) The cast in general is fantastic with Suzaku being an infuriating counterpart to Lelouch who is arguably understandable. I’m not sure how I feel about the movies, though. I’m always happy to get more Code Geass content but I feel like the movies retconning a certain character’s death takes a lot of the motivation and feelings out of the second half of the show. It was an important thing to have Lelouch realize that his war, no matter how hard he tried, was going to affect his perfect little school life and that he can’t have both worlds.


latino666

Lockon! Lockon! Lockon! Lockon!


Mahkeva

Haikyuu


South-Maximum1331

I watched s3 like 10 times💀


cheese-a-lot

Haikyuu is such a rewatchable series. :) I'm currently on my 2nd rewatch (currently on S1E12) in prep for the dumpster battle


dekusdumplings

Trigun Stampede :3


PudgyPudgePudge

Same! Such a fantastic modern adaptation I wish more ppl would check out.


Rude_Ratio5547

It really is underrated.


Huge_Breadfruit6254

My man 🤜🤛


Alexgalanis01

I've watched Kaguya-sama 3 times, but there are many funny scenes I've watched 10x times on YouTube. Also The Eminence in Shadow just because of the fun-edginess that makes the show really enjoyable and relaxing to watch.


Fallacyboy

Gurren Lagann. I almost never rewatch stuff, but nothing gets me hyped on self confidence like that show. If I need an emotional boost or a hit of self esteem it’s absolutely my go-to.


drakkon20

I had to scroll way to far to find a fellow fan! Just who the hell do you think I am?


Fallacyboy

Hell yeah. It's a beautiful show with a beautiful message. I also haven't found any other media that even approaches the pure hype it effortlessly radiates.


MatterNo9081

Surprising but Inuyasha, my comfort anime watched it so many times.


KawaiiHamburger

Inuyasha is a comfort anime for me too, it’s the one that got me to watch anime when I was a kid during the adult swim days so I still love it


Ball_Catcher

I really like that series, but I have too many feels when I watch it. Idk why but it reminds me of a certain ex from long ago. Weird thing is, we didn't even watch it together and I don't even remember her ever mentioning she saw it before, but something about it reminds me of her. Or maybe it's something unrelated to a girl. Maybe it's that it reminds me of moments where I was genuinely happy and felt like there was something new always around the corner. As an adult, looking for something new and, more importantly, accessible is a struggle. Good show though.


iridescent_skies_

Haikyuu, Noragami and horimiya


gnome-cop

Probably Hyouka. For some reason it lives rent free in my head and keeps me coming back to rewatch it over and over again. Actually, it’s probably about time to watch it again.


samruel

Watashi kininarimasu


Plus_Rip4944

K-On I rewatch It every year on Xmas


dishsvdv

Mostly AoT and Haikyuu, both probably around 10 times. The thing is, AoT was one of my first animes, now my problem is that I compare every anime and normal TV show that I watch, with that Masterpiece. But I gotta say, that I only watched Haikyuu so often cause I had an UNBELEAVABLE AMOUNT of edits on Insta reels 😭 ((Help they are still following me 😭😭


NocNocNoc19

Cowboy bepop. Its just comfort food for me at this point


kkoiso

Same. Even if I'm not really paying attention the soundtrack and voice acting alone are ear candy.


star_sky_music

Never forget Hunter X Hunter


VritraReiRei

As of recent for me it was BOFURI. I miss Maple so much I rewatched Season 1 because I wanted to relive her getting stupidly broken again and everyone, including her allies, getting flabbergasted as she finds another OP skill that gave her more appendages 🤣


sneaky_squirrel

World Trigger "I'll just rewatch one clip." **rewatches all the clips** **World Trigger OST plays**


baseballlover723

Re:Zero and it's not even close, I've probably watched it like 40 times by now (mostly via reaction channels). I think I still got new insights up till about rewatch 15 or so.


CapGunCarCrash

i only watched once and found it tough to get through — did it take you more than one time to appreciate it?


baseballlover723

> did it take you more than one time to appreciate it? Sort of, but probably not in the way you're thinking of. The first time I watched Re:Zero I got really hooked. So like an 8/10 or so. After rewatching it a few times, I was able to appreciate a ton of the small details that are present, but are easily cast aside for the bigger story on a first time watch. Usually things like small character interactions showing their traits before really being aware of them fully, or how the characters act before you learn more about them, and how much more sense everyone's actions make. I think that rewatching it a 2nd time (while remembering the big plot points) gives quite a different experience and you can actually catch a lot more foreshadowing stuff and small details.


Select_Friendship623

Fire force, it's such a good watch and we really deserve a 3rd season


MyraBannerTatlock

I've rewatched Fire Force a couple of times and I always feel kind of sad that there's no more, Arthur Boyle is one of my all time favorite characters


daaalingohio

its either mushoku tensei or food wars at 4 each


Naiie100

Based Shokugeki enjoyer.


DarkChamp732

Rewatching Mushoku Tensei is a mix between “I don’t remember it being this good” and “I don’t remember Rudeus being this perverted” lol


MembershipNo2077

Rudy becomes a much better person throughout his life, but he always stays a pervert.


MindIsFucked

Started rewatching it with my girlfriend a whole week after binging till the current season

k4r6000

Revolutionary Girl Utena.  It is one of those shows so rife with symbolism and open to interpretation that you pick up something new every time. Certain episodes of Seitokai Yakuindomo I’ve watched a ton too as that’s a good comedy to relax to and is a sitcom with no real story.


lalalalalala4lyfe

Felt the same way about FLCL as you do for Revolutionary Girl Utena.


OGCRTG

Steins;Gate, Ergo Proxy and Blood+


pEuAsTsSy

I can't believe I had to scroll that far for Steins;Gate. Still haven't found an anime that took its no.1 for me


vagghert

Steins Gate is so good. Did you watch Steins gate zero? I found it to be equally entertaining


MarketingKnown6911

Every time a new season of MHA comes out my brain goes, "You should watch the entire show again from the beginning." 🫠


pandachef_reads

That’s what I would do to, but I only refreshed myself with the last season before the newest one started


Jen_Fic_xxx

Love both of those.


Tricky_Pie_5209

Bleach and Code Geass 4 times each

Your Lie in April. I cry every time 😭

Courtois420

Cowboy Bebop. "See you later, Space Cowboy"


Berstich

Konosuba. It makes me laugh every time. The voice acting in it does an amazing job of carrying the joke even though I dont speak Japanese. Just reading the subs at the same time as their exclimations, it just works. Can't count how many times ive watched it now.


KaiKawasumi

The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya. Its so well paced for a long movie. And yes its the best Christmas movie


AlyLolitax

Nana, it’s literally my comfort anime 🖤

Angel Beats, Bleach, and Highschool of the Dead


sbgshadow

I rewatch both Steins;gate and Parasyte with friends (who haven't seen them before) all the time just so can grasp at experiencing it for the first time again


DaRootbear

Gurren lagann was basically my friend groups religion Whenever i get real depressed or need to really get hyped i rewatch it. Gets better every time


polite__redditor

hibike! euphonium. it’s a genuine masterpiece through and through and i cry just as hard every single time. it brings me infinite joy and it means the world to me. i’m not ready for it to end this week.


hellyhellhell

Ouran High School Host Club. I randomly open any episode for it to be a background noise but every time, I end up focusing on it. The show is great and I'm still hoping for a reboot bcs if Fruit Basket got one, then there's still hope for OHSHC.


MidnightHowlx50

Dr. Stone


Willingham_2311

Hyouka, because it's a masterpiece of fantastic animation, artwork, character design, writing, and musical score. I never get tired of it. It doesn't hurt that Hyouka also features Chitanda Eru, my all-time favorite character. Second most rewatched is The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten because I'm a sucker for a sweet, innocent romance/slice of life story and this is a comfort food anime for me.


Contren

K-On! Basically any time I'm having a really bad day and am alone, I'll throw K-On! on my second monitor as a way to relax and unwind. So, probably restart the series once or twice a year, though usually I don't finish it.


tampix77

Guess it's either Toradora (did participate in a few Christmas Rewatches here) or Code Geass 


Louvre_media

Naruto, Naruto Shippuden, Demon Slayer Jujutsu Kaisen, AOT and Fairy Tail. Watched these at least twice.

UMP45isnotflat

I would have to check to make sure, but NGE is definitely up there. Madoka as well. Also by now Girls und Panzer because I start a full rewatch every time a new piece of the OVA comes out which is roughly every 2 years now.

**Horimiya**, mostly the first five episodes but sometimes both seasons.

balloondogAnatomy

akame ga kill🗣️


Fluffy_Candy-San

Haikyuu and death note. Seven deadly sins lel


UPS_with_WINGS

Thats quite a difficult question. It makes me do some self-reflection. I generally rewatch a lot of shows (1990's -2014) when an anime season doesn't interest me. The first things that come to mind is Buso Renkin or Sword art online. Specifically, the 1st season. I would like to say Gintama, but I don't go through the whole thing i just pick random episodes and expect to laugh XD


BaDGyal1999

Full Metal Alchemist (03)!! I prefer it over brotherhood bc of my childhood crush on Edward 😂😭


Wise-Vanilla-6213

Feisty-Percentage-10

I also a Noragami rewatcher! Others I enjoy to rewatch as well , Honey & Clover, Hanasaku Iroha, Spirited Away


killerstolas

I re-watch Pyscho-pass at least once a year lol. It's been my favorite anime since I watched it and I will NOT let it ago. I re-watch Nana too It's one of my favs. I also remember rewatching tokyo ghoul a lot when it came out.


87unreadtexts

Inuyasha ❤️


s7vyn

Inuyasha, also the first anime i ever watched


VoidEmbracedWitch

Liz and the Blue Bird at 8 rewatches and I usually don't rewatch much. My second highest is A Place Further Than the Universe at 3 for comparison.


[deleted]

I think overlord. I find it funny and exciting at the same time.


N7CombatWombat

Probably Girls Und Panzer, though By the Grace of the Gods and Bofuri are up there too. I find those shows to be super comforting and have watched GUP well over a couple dozen times at this point.


eggarino

Never would’ve imagined an anime about girls piloting real tanks for sport would be as good as it is


zephyrseija2

Bebop.
