Rewatching can be a cathartic experience, and that’s not even an exaggeration. Having the ending as a context opens your mind to foreshadowing and can even enhance the emotions evoked by particular moments. If we make a list of the 5 most rewatchable anime, many fans would put the Big 3 anime in that list without even thinking.

The presence of Bleach, Naruto, and One Piece on such a list is understandable and unavoidable due to the emotional resonance. However, many aspects of these series have not aged well. Whether it’s the female characters, the huge number of episodes, or a lackluster final arc, the Big 3 has many issues.

So here’s a list of the 5 most rewatchable anime you might need to revisit right away.
