I'm actually more guilty of going back to those old (and still airing ) shows to rewatch my favorite parts ad nauseam. Rewatched the ending of G Gundam a couple times yesterday, Jojo vs Wham, the Build Fighters OP a thousand times, etc.
The ending to G Gundam is so awesome. I love that show so much.
I do this all the time. I watch/rewatch older favorites on disc way more often due to being able to marathon and bring it over to friends houses to watch it with them. I was rewatching Tari Tari and AKB0048 for example, as well as just restarted Kokoro Connect. Just finished up Tsuritama again too. probably one of my recent favorites. This is why my backlog just keeps growing.
See what I'm thinking is I will finish all these shows I'm watching now, finally earn my Mecha Stripes by watching Mazinger/Getter/Macross, and THEN treat myself by just mainlining my all-time favorites. Also I should just add that I'm grateful to those who peer pressured me into watching Utena, 'cuz that show is an all-time fave now.
Well I did rewatch Nichijou a while back when I was having tech problems. And I kinda rewatched a bit of Kiniro Mosaic as well.
I've never even watched Nichijou, haha.
I'm one of those people that finishes something and moves on to the next thing, although there are some shows i want to re-watch eventually (I'm looking at you, Toradora!).
I need to be like this, but my old favorites are like coming home.
I do rewatches all the time, usually on a yearly basis but also if I need a pick-me-up from life things.
I wish I could limit it to a yearly basis, haha. It's kinda like how I find myself replaying FF6/CT/EB every two years or so.
Not really. I have so much new shit to watch, and by new I mean old, that if I went back any more than I do, my ass would never catch up.
This is my actual situation. I need to watch like, five million recommended Mecha shows and also people keep telling me to see movies and we all know how I drag my feet on that.
Pretty much what I'm doing right now. Been marathoning Zeta Gundam. Its served to remind me how annoying it is that they took out the original Z Toki Wo Koete opening, and replaced it for some Star Trek sounding non-sense in the english version. I mean it sounds okay, but its not the original awesome sauce Z toki.
I actually really liked that music in the English dub. It made me think of Mario Galaxy. I need to see the Japanese version of Zeta, to find out if it improves my feelings of the show at all, 'cuz the English dub left a bad aftertaste.
While I do sneak in a re-watch every now and then, KyoAni's recent output is making me want to re-watch their older stuff like FMP more than usual. I'm also interested in seeing if Fumoffu is as funny as I remember it being when I was 14 or whenever I watched originally.
They definitely are. Fumoffu is an integral part of the experience for me. I have a hard time imagining FMP without it.
It is. Rugby, hot springs, and the virus episodes are all masterpieces.
Oh man those three episodes are the best. Although I confess I have a HUGE soft spot for the haunted house episode and the pony episode.
