The binge potential is endless! Join Ashley as we look over the anime that are great for repeated viewings
Transcript
00:00 Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the anime that are the
00:10 most fun to watch again and again.
00:20 If you think a supernatural thriller like "Death Note" just isn't as gripping
00:24 after the first time, then you'd be dead wrong.
00:33 We never tire of watching Light Yagami's "Game of Cat and Mouse" with L. Each move
00:38 in their elaborate chess match with lives on the line is as fascinating as it is entertaining.
00:50 If anything, it can be more rewarding after multiple viewings, since you'll be more
00:54 familiar with how the titular "Death Note" rules work.
00:57 The series is loaded with memorable moments, and each new twist and turn is worth experiencing
01:03 all over again.
01:13 This series is endlessly rewatchable thanks to its fantastic blend of impeccably animated
01:18 fight scenes, gut-busting humour, and fascinating world of heroes and monsters.
01:25 Saitama's ennui about being the strongest hero alive is simultaneously sympathetic and
01:34 laugh-out-loud funny.
01:35 While the first season is arguably easier to rewatch, given its more self-contained
01:40 plots and more fluid animation, season two is still fantastic, particularly if you're
01:46 into anti-villains and serialised plots.
01:53 And given how long season three is taking, we kind of have no choice but to watch the
01:58 show again and again to satisfy our craving for more.
02:11 While we're on the subject of rewatchable superhero anime, My Hero Academia is another
02:17 one that never fails to save us from boredom.
02:28 Watching Deku and his classmates strive to become heroes is as inspiring as it is entertaining.
02:34 Seeing it all from the very beginning merely makes you appreciate how far they've come.
02:44 Plus this lovable cast of characters is just fun to see interact, even without all the
02:50 action, drama and comedy.
02:52 It's one of the longer anime to make our list, but the pacing is brisk and it flies
02:57 by.
02:58 Even so, there are tons of moments that will always make us hyped, no matter how many times
03:03 we watch them.
03:14 Whether you're looking to relive Simon and company's journey to pierce the heavens
03:24 with their drills, or you just need a reminder to pursue your own goals, it's never a bad
03:29 time for more Gurren Lagann.
03:43 This mecha epic is such a perfect blend of action, themes and character development that
03:49 it needs to be witnessed multiple times to be believed.
03:56 The hot-blooded pursuit of tomorrow and greater heights is just as glorious the second, or
04:02 hundredth time.
04:04 After all, a drill doesn't rotate just once.
04:07 Its true power comes through repetition.
04:18 6.
04:19 Hunter x Hunter
04:20 Sometimes you just want to watch Hunter x Hunter so you can smile again.
04:24 This epic adventure series takes you on a rollercoaster of emotions regardless of how
04:29 many times you watch it.
04:34 Gon's adventures and those of everyone he encounters along the way make for some incredible
04:42 viewing.
04:43 The world of the show is amazingly detailed, with attention given to everything from rules
04:48 of fictional games to the system of special abilities they use.
04:55 It's so complex that repeat watches are almost necessary to let it all sink in.
05:03 And that's not even touching on the epic action, touching friendship and heart-rending
05:08 developments that permeate the story.
05:11 Hunter x Hunter has us in pursuit even after we've caught up.
05:20 5.
05:21 Jujutsu Kaisen
05:23 Few anime have quite the unique blend of genres as Jujutsu Kaisen.
05:28 Its mixture of shounen action, horror and comedy keeps us on our toes, just as the characters
05:34 are caught off guard by each new development.
05:45 The series has major shake-ups multiple times per season, along with jaw-dropping and creative
05:51 fight scenes.
06:02 The young Jujutsu sorcerers' battles against curses are so captivating, we can't help
06:07 but revisit them.
06:08 Plus, we're also drawn in repeatedly by the hysterical comedy and endless source of
06:14 riz that is Gojo.
06:21 4.
06:23 Attack on Titan
06:30 Perhaps the most hyped anime of the last decade, Attack on Titan may have ended, but
06:35 that hasn't stopped us and many other fans from reliving the hype all over again, multiple
06:41 times.
06:48 The saga of Eren Yeager's struggle against the Titans and the worst of humanity is full
06:53 of mind-blowing twists that just hit differently after the first time.
06:58 In addition, the phenomenal character development, incredible soundtrack and stellar fight scenes
07:04 are all worth revisiting.
07:06 Attack on Titan is a titan of an anime that we're absolutely relentless in attacking
07:10 with our attention, and we're never letting up.
07:18 3.
07:21 Cowboy Bebop
07:32 The beloved anime classic following the misadventures of the crew of the Bebop has been entertaining
07:37 fans for decades.
07:45 Along with the unforgettable, iconic moments sprinkled throughout, most episodes stand
07:50 on their own, making it easy to pick up and revisit for casual viewing.
07:55 The Bebop crew themselves are just a joy to watch, no matter how often.
07:59 Of course, the series' legendarily awesome soundtrack helps make revisiting the show
08:05 an absolute vibe as well.
08:07 Cowboy Bebop is a timeless look into the future that we always seem to find time to return
08:12 to.
08:15 2.
08:17 Demon Slayer Kimetsu no Yaiba
08:27 Tanjiro's quest to return his sister's humanity after she's turned into a demon
08:32 is not only emotionally gripping, it's drop-dead gorgeous.
08:42 The fights in Demon Slayer are crisp, fluid, and as beautiful as they are exciting.
08:48 Along with the unlimited budget poured into the animation, the storytelling is powerful
08:54 and emotionally charged, with each backstory tugging on the heartstrings more than the
08:59 last.
09:06 The humour's not too shabby either.
09:08 Demon Slayer may leave you as breathless as its characters after a battle, yet we still
09:14 can't help but want to inhale it like oxygen.
09:36 If you're on your phone, make sure to go into your settings and switch on notifications.
09:41 1.
09:42 Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood
09:44 It's only natural that one of the most highly regarded anime of all time is also the most
09:49 rewatchable.
09:54 Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood hits so well on every level.
09:58 The story is both personal in stakes, yet also grand in scale.
10:02 The music is astounding.
10:05 The battles are spectacular.
10:07 The cast is huge, yet everyone somehow gets a chance to shine.
10:11 The world and magic are well-realised and fleshed out.
10:15 It's funny and tragic in equal measure.
10:24 Fullmetal Alchemist is the complete package.
10:27 It's also impossible to take it all in after just one viewing.
10:32 The price of immortality is high in this show, but so long as we keep watching, our enjoyment
10:38 of it will never die.
10:45 Is there an anime you have on loop that we forgot?
