Re: Is once actually enough?
Twice.
Once digisubbed to see if the show is good. again when dubbed domestically, to both support the producers [for pennies or something] and to show to other anime watchers who prefer watching their anime instead of reading...
If the dub sucks, there's always the subtitle track on dvds so everybody wins...

Re: Is once actually enough?
Most series I rewatch are the ones that really aren't plot driven, but are more episodic. I don't know why, but if I get bored, I can just sit down and watch a random episode of something like Lucky Star or Azumanga Daioh and be perfectly entertained. Other than that, I usually don't want to re-follow a plot which I already know the outcome to.
... yea ...

Re: Is once actually enough?
Hmm.. i must be somewhat of a minority. I buy a ton of animie and re-watch many series quit often. If i like it enough to buy it, i like it enough to watch repeatedly.
And as far as subs or dubs... i usually watch a little of both if available for that series the first time around. Then pick whatever one is better when it's time to watch it again... (97% of the time, i watch subs....2% dubbs, 1% both... yes, there are a few rare series where it is good subbed and dubbed)
(PS: i am taking a break from an EVA AMV whilst watching FLCL as i post this lol..)

Re: Is once actually enough?
I've watched all 70 episodes of Cardcaptor Sakura and the two movies about 3 or four times since 2006 with the 70 eps and first movie subbed.
All 78 episodes of Slayers (next/try) 2 times. Both seasons of Kaleido star 3 times. And several other series twice. I'll just marathon a series if I'm bored. But I'm due for another CCS fix.

Re: Is once actually enough?
I bought Evangelion, and I plan to buy Elfen Lied.
Those are the only two anime that I consider purchase-worthy.

Re: Is once actually enough?
There are some series I've only seen once, but I do re-watch a bunch of stuff. Some shows are like a yearly ritual. Also it's fun to re-watch stuff with other people.

Re: Is once actually enough?
Well I've watched Lucky Star like 40 times, and the first season of Clannad like 200 times. And my bro has seen Rosario + Vampire and Haruhi countless times.

Re: Is once actually enough?
I have a really good memory so I tend not to rewatch anything unless I'm really bored or am sharing it with a friend.
My brother has probably rewatched all of Slayers like 20 times. That is one series that never gets old and is always fun to share with someone new.
I'll reread manga a lot though since it's easier to do in between other things instead of focusing on a video.

Re: Is once actually enough?
If its an anime I love then I get bored after the 3rd or so time re-watching...

...
"ooooh this is the show I watched 3 times over...WATCH ONE MORE TIME!! "
Then again that may just be me

We came we saw...we attempted to kick ass, but in the end we failed, and yes, I'm still in pain.
