Has rewatching a show ever deeply changed your opinion of it ?

Has rewatching a show ever deeply changed your opinion of it ?

Only when going back to it after having actually read the source material. I still love Spice and Wolf and Gunslinger Girl, but i couldn't help but get angry at the changes that their respective adaptations made

Evangelion. I had it like the most deep and filosophical anime and blah blah blah, but I rewatched it a couple years ago and found out that I was retarded and that it is kinda average, nothing special

...

Yes it happened with Chuuni. Still liked the show and a premise but if conversation about it ever comes up I'll most likely bash it for its shortcomings and shallow mcs

I really didn't like Stand Alone Complex the first time I watched it. One of my favorites now.

That happened a lot to me.
FLCL felt like lol so random to me with inconsistent plot.
I rewatched recently and suddenly it was really easy to follow and everything made sense.

I felt like Eva was overrated and generally meh. But after rewatching it in more mature age it grew on me and I could appreciate the characters and relate to their suffering more than I did as teenage when I watched it.

I used to be a Death Note fan but rewatching it dulled my impression on it. Same with TTGL, I didn't felt hype anymore (except I still like this one and I still think it's a good story about the power of human spirit).

Kara no Kyoukai the 5th Movie. At first I was too confused about the plot and timelines to care about the characters but after rewatching I was in the manly tears.

Most of the time my impression changes if the thing I'm rewatching I watched as a teenage first.

this but the opposite effect

>filosophical

Spice and Wolf's banter is so fucking irritating

Sword Art Online. I think it has its merits now.

i've read the Spicy Wolf novels but I haven't watched the anime. What are the changes they made?

...

Every Kyoani show I rewatch I like a lot more after rewatching.
Tamako Market and Love Story in particular became some of my favorite anime after my first rewatch (it took 3 times for Love Story).

Also when I rewatched NGE I liked the TV ending more than EoE.

>Spicy Wolf
Why? Why did this make me laugh?

It stays pretty faithful for the most part but off the top of my head I remember they made Lawrence's friend who he visited in the first town in the first book who ends up betraying him a female and they imply that the two had some kind of relationship in the past. A lot of the banter is also lost because you don't get to hear most of Lawrence's thoughts as he tries to come up with the appropriate retort.

>filosophical

No matter how often I watch Sword of the Stranger it always stays good, even after the tenth time.
Akira didn't grab me as much and the character designs felt really boring. Still a great movie, just not as good on a rewatch.
Ping Pong gets better each time you watch it. It just that well constructed. Everything playes into each other.
Rewatching Redline made me realize how much attention to detail and love was poured into the movie. Not just animation wise but the characters and their connections too. It just feels so alive.

I wish I could rewatch shows without getting bored because I already remember pretty much everything, only rewatched a couple of SOL in the last decade, oh and the yearly haruhi rewatch too.

SAO after watching KonoSuba
Now SAO isn't the shittiest anime out there.

Also Madoka Magica, I thought it was bad but then I realized it was okay until cap 9.

tenchi on toonami as a kid this is awesome. tenchi a few years ago this is horrible and tenchi is gay. hated outlaw star as a kid but it was way better than tenchi when rewatched

Steins:Gate's first 11 episodes are better on a rewatch. IM STILL MAD THEY CUT THE FUCKING NAE SCENE THOUGH

A cliche choice of anime but Cowboy Bebop would have been it for me.
As a kid the action scenes and 'vulgarity' that it provided that other shows would not was eye opening and satisfying. Watching it back now as an adult I can now fully absorb its premise of story-line, its grandiose form in its soundtrack variety/quality and for some even its philosophical conversations which can be scattered throughout the series.
Frankly, I can see why it was definitely geared towards the western audience more where it found its popularity. Most anime at its time and even now largely lack most of the points it nails dead on.

When I first watched Fate/Zero I thought it was really amazing. At the time I had liked everything about it, bar the Rin episode, but when I rewatched it years later I didn't find it near as good as I did on the first watch.

Every time I try to finish Chrome-Shelled Regios it seems worse than last time

Yes
