What series have you watched multiple times and why?
1. FLCL. It's insanity as its best. No other reason. Each time Cartoon Network's Adult Swim re-runs it, it is like a special treat. (I don't like Progressive or Alternate though.)
2. Boogeypop Phantom. Well, you have to watch this several times. Since the story is not told in chronological order, and therefore hard to follow, it takes several viewings. I recommend watching in both the original Japanese with subtitles, and the English dub to get the full story. Yes, it is an effort, but it is worth it. BP is perfectly dark showing the breakdown of various characters. Once you get the story, you will be glad you gave this repeated watchings.
3. Perfect Blue. Here is another dark one. This movie tells the tale of a sugar and spice pop singer who wants to become an actress, changing her image. When someone out there decides they don't want their idol to change. . . . Well, you are about to witness a classic mind f-ck. I wrote this up in the review section after my last viewing.
4. Lain aka Serial Experiments Lain. Each time I watch this, and my last watching was maybe a year ago, I figure out some subtle angle I missed before. This one goes on many levels.
5. Your Lie in April. The most recent anime on my list, I am now watching it for the second time, with one more episode to go. I will probably watch it again a year from now. And I usually don't go in for romantic heart breakers. But the animation of the music scenes is fantastic, and it is a good story.
More later. But now you list a few. And say something about why you like to rewatch them.
