The second chance anime thread is a good topic, but it got me thinking: The opposite has also been true, for me at least.
Has there ever been an anime you watched, even more than once, loved it, and years later go to watch it again, and not see why you liked it in the first place? Here are some with me:
Bamboo Blade
This is a sports anime (Which I usually love, even though I don't like sports.) about a Kendo club. I remember thinking when I watched it the first time in 2008 that I thought it was hilarious, but a year or two ago I started to re-watch it and... just thought it was boring.
Kenichi: The Mightest Disciple
This anime was about a weakling who go bullied learning martial arts. I remember loving this, and watched it 3-4 times in the late 00's. I wasn't a fan of the fan-service, but I overlooked it because of how funny I found the show. This time though, I noticed. I finished it, but I still didn't really enjoy it this time.
D N Angel
I remember the first time I watched it I thought it was a very interesting story. But the second time through, I found it boring.
I'm sure there are others. Has that happened to you?
