Then again, even some of the most generic fanservice anime had some rewatch value. This activity kinda fell off over the timescale of months after I started watching series as they aired, and these days its a rarity for me to bother watching something a second time. I think it has something to do with the fact that, almost inevitably, when I started watching anime as they aired, I was spending more time discussing the latest anime on forums and whatnot, which is probably time I would have spent rewatching anime in the old days. That, and going onto a faster internet connection probably killed off the need to resort to watching stuff I’d already seen to keep myself entertained. These days, I really don’t need to rewatch most things, since being active in the online discussion about anime usually fills in the holes I might have missed first time round (and anyway, I’m generally of the philosophy that, in most cases, because I take the effort to pay attention while watching anime, if I’ve missed something, it’s probably due to poor storytelling than anything I could be responsible for.)
