ange10:
 how does it effect your experince knowing whats going to happen when you already seen a anime?

im asking because do you enjoy anime the same or better when you rewatch them or do you think they lose their *taste* or something.

for example if i watched clannad afterstory again do you think it will make you cry again at the tramatic parts or somethin

or watch blood+ again, i haven't seen it in such a long time, like 2 years.

i never rewatched a anime?

i feel that if i do, then that experince that i had watching the anime may be less then when i watched it the first time and i might not enjoy it as much as i watched the first time.

also how long do you think i should wait to rewatch a anime to get the full pleasure of it, for example like i was watching for the first time again?

(ive been wanted to watch blood+ for like  a year now but ive been holding it off becasue im scared i might not enjoy it as my first time watching it)

Depends on the person. I always forget some of what I watched, and I notice things that I didn't before, even with the stuff that I remember I still enjoy it just as much.

But there are people that I know if it is familiar they don't enjoy watching it again.  So try watching it again to see if you still enjoy it as much or nearly so.

Some anime I find are so good I could watch them a few times at least in a row (not many of them unfortunately).

Takeshi:
I'm just gonna answer these, next time be a little more specific in your questions. Or set numbers in front of the questions you want answered.

Of course, it's less because you've already seen it, but if you really like a series or a movie, then the experience should be rewarding since it's a series you like, and wanted to re-watch.

You should watch it when you feel like watching it, that's not a specific answer, but really, it depends on the user, and the anime. Unless you've got this interest in watching Fullmetal Alchemist again or Shakugan No Shana, then you shouldn't start re-watching it again, you'll be bored. But if I were to give you an answer then I would say 2-3 years, that's enough time for me at least to want to watch something again and then to maybe forget some of the things thats happens so you'll be a little surprused and think "Oh, that's right this happened back then".

Havoc10K:
that depends on the anime, but usually the emotions l build up are pretty much the same, if it's comedy l sometimes start laughing as the scene starts wich is even more enjoyable, however if it'saction/drama/romance etc i just don't think about what l remember and keep watching as if l was watching it the first time, much more enjoyable that way.

Aneroph:
If it's a series you really liked then just rewatch it immediately. I watched Toradora twice in a row (once with subs, once RAW) and I learned a ton of new facts that I missed the first time through. Despite knowing everything that was going to happen, it didn't stop me from enjoying it any less (or crying any less :P). I've also watched Eureka Seven almost 10 times (3 times in dub and the rest in sub) within the course of 2 years. It hits me the same way every time. I think actually you have less of a chance of still liking the series if it has been a long time since you've watched it. Certain series will grow boring and seem stupid as you gain more experience in watching anime, and as your interests change with age. Of course, there will always be series that hit you hard no matter how many times or how long it's been since you watched it.
