I am not sure if I would do it that often.

1. A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

I've watched Haibane Renmei from start to finish many times with pleasure, as also Spirited Away. And I continue to revisit favorite episodes of Cardcaptor Sakura and Tenshi ni Narumon with as much pleasure as before.

I have revisited Gankutsuou (The Count of Monte Cristo) but not recently, but I think it's about time.

I can't believe I forgot to add Detective Conan to my list. I watch the movies over and over again. The series is 500+ episodes so I haven't been able to watch all of them many times. A few episodes I've watched repeatedly though. :wink:

BGC lol!! The year I got my Bubblegum Crisis tapes I watched them virtually every day for at least a year /lv. There's only 8 episodes, so... that's a lot of times! The Hurricane Live music tapes were even more ingrained since I used to use them to work out to :box1: .

Others:
Ghost in the Shell (movie) & Innocence
Macross Plus
Patlabor
Tenshi no Tamago (Angel's Egg)
Black Jack
Tenchi Muyo!
Dirty Pair
Armitage
Perfect Blue, Millenium Actress, Tokyo Godfathers...

Some of those are really clever and sophisticated films with a lot of adult layers that still resonate for me; others are nostalgic old favourites that had great design and characters I'm fond of ^^. The type of thing too that you just like to pop in and have on in the background sometimes. People always like to return back to their favourite things!

This is harder than I thought. There are a lot of shows that I love, but that doesn't mean that I would watch them multiple times. Some stories are best when viewed as a whole but are too long to sit through again. For me to watch it repeatedly it either has to be relatively short (13 episodes or less) or very episodic. Here is my list.

Shows I repeatedly watch in their entirety

Battle Angel Alita
Fake
Fruits Basket
The Last Unicorn (okay technically not anime)
Loveless
Vampire Hunter D, Bloodlust


Shows I repeatedly watch in part

Card Captor Sakura
Juuni Kokki (tend to watch by arc)
Mushishi
Noir
Yami no Matsuei (also tend to watch by arc)

I'll think about that. I'm glad you find this amusing.
