My 15 most rewatched anime scenes

Ever since I got my paws on Nanoha As R3s, I've just been rewatching selected scenes over and over again. Yes you guessed it, the transformations scenes.... It happens a lot nowadays. Instead of firing up a piping-hot, days-old anime episode, I'd dig out my anime DVDs or some .avi to relive some anime nostalgia. Anyhow, here's a tribute to some of my most rewatched scenes in anime.

Da Capo 22: ▼ Show

Asatte no houkou 08: ▼ Show

AIR 01: ▼ Show

Jubei chan 2 13: ▼ Show

Macross Zero 05: ▼ Show

Lyrical Nanoha As 09: ▼ Show

Full Metal Panic TSR 13: ▼ Show

Mai HiME 08: ▼ Show

Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu 04: ▼ Show

Zero no tsukaima 09: ▼ Show

DCSS 15: ▼ Show

Dennou Coil 04 ▼ Show

Iriya no sora, UFO no natsu 03: ▼ Show

Angelic Layer 24: ▼ Show

Soukou no strain 04: ▼ Show

(Note that these scenes are not direct correlations to my favourite anime scenes though some surely are. It's just that for some inexplicable reason, maybe due to ease of access, they enjoy a great deal of airtime in my household. I do notice a trend of memorable music though.)

  1. Ah, Da Capo 22…I just re-watched that a little while ago, that was the most tear-jerking moment in the whole series for me. I probably shouldn’t have re-watched it so close to watching DC II SS though, because I’m afraid FEEL’s not going to be able to pull the drama off quite as well, but I’m waiting on the avi for DC II SS ep 10 so we’ll see soon…

  2. I can’t speak on many of these, but I can definitely see why your choice from Macross Zero would make a great rewatch, though I only saw said OVA for the first time a few weeks back (thankfully before Frontier 10) – in fact, I’ve a sudden urge to go back and watch that now . . .

    Picking up on memorable music, do you find that you can recall the scene itself when you remember (or whistle aloud?) the accompanying tune?

  3. Some pretty good ones

    Nanoha A’s and Iriya no Sora entries are hiding inside Macross Zero and Dennou Coil’s respectively.

    Here are a few of mine. Although, my memory isn’t that great :/

    The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya 12▼ Show

    Seto no Hanayome 26▼ Show

    Kaleido Star 26 & 51▼ Show

    AIR TV 12▼ Show

    Princess Tutu 23▼ Show

    ROD OVA 2▼ Show

    Bamboo Blade 17▼ Show

    Cardcaptor Sakura Movie 2▼ Show

    Your closing spoiler Quicktags don’t seem to work right for me…

  4. I’ll mention the one I watch over and over again:

    Black Lagoon 7.

    ▼ Show

    I’ll also emphatically say Ditto on Seto no Hanayome episode 26.

  5. AIR Special OVA ▼ Show

  6. Rewatching anime!? I barely have time to watch what I have… Maybe I should take a good series and rewatch it, I don’t think I would be okay with just rewatching one.

  7. nice choices…

    ▼ Show

    Jubei-chan 2 #13:
    ▼ Show

    Full Metal Panic TSR:
    ▼ Show

    Haruhi:
    ▼ Show

    Oh, and every freaking thing in Nanoha A’s. Plus the pwning of CAPTAIN QUATTRO, SHE IS A CHAR in SuckS.

  11. I keep watching the scene in Nanoha A’s where Nanoha pumped two or three cartridges against the Book of Darkness after breaking through a magical shield.

  12. suguru: DCSSII is unlikely to attain DC22 levels but even if it comes close, it’d be a VERY good series already :) Can’t wait for the rest of it :)

    IKnight: Oh yes. I’ve always believe the scene can only be as moving as the music :P And the scene with its music is a single monolithic entity for me :)

    Asrialys: Your spoiler tags are showing for me. Anyone else having probs with it? Your haruhi and AIR scenes rank high on my rewatch and fav list respectively :)

    Jobrill: Looks like I need to get seto no hanayome :)

    Beowulf Lee: LOL! For a huge AIR fan, I’m ashamed to say I haven’t seen the special XD

    Deranged: heh not the entire series, just selected scenes :)

    kaz3phyrous: I may have mentioned before but it’s uncanny we have such similar taste. Those you listed would have made my top 30 most rewatched. All except hitohira which I haven’t seen :P

    Skane: The Nanoha As scene is my 2nd most rewatched of my DVDs :) The FMF ep is priceless! Especially for folks who have gone to military training XD

    Kanon_fan82: I personally thought Asuka in the final scenes of Death/Rebirth was awesome. :)

    jpmeyer: Your MH and J2 scenes are my 3rd and 2nd most watched scenes in those series. (Man, I’m actually keeping track). And yes, everything in As is soo good, I have no less than 10 favourite scenes just from the series itself.

    The Sojourner: That. was. AWESOME. (in jpmeyer’s caps) XD

  13. Stripey: Skane I think had the same problem when they posted right before editing it. The Quicktags won’t close the Spoiler tag. I had to do it manually. And by the way, your Nanoha A’s and Iriya no Sora scenes are still hiding within the spoilers of Macross Zero and Dennou Coil.

  14. I cant remember the exact episodes or all of best moment from the animes I’ve watched, but here’s a few :P

    World’s strongest disciple Kenichi:
    [spoiler]Episode 1 at the end where Elder did a “warp”
    Episode 35 where Blond guy recall her dying sister’s last words
    [spoiler]

    Bamboo Blade:
    [spoiler]Part where Tamaki thinks of her mum during blond sensei’s ascension stance[spoiler]

    Code Geass I:
    [spoiler]Zero standing in front of TV or when he stands upright but behind the mask he’s scared like hell.[spoiler]

    Seto no Hanayome:
    [spoiler]First time the male lead powerup in faceoff against War song and Peace song[spoiler]

    Scrapped Princess:
    [spoiler]Fulle administering a backstab the good o thief/assassin way.[spoiler]

    Black Cat:
    [spoiler]Final fight where black cat reloads ammo with the mirage of the dead girl.
    Also in a slightly earlier episode near the end where female captain does a barrage on the unkillable pianist gay dude obssessed with Black Cat before she talks about the skill name.[spoiler]

    xxxholic movie:
    [spoiler]Ending part where collector guy meets the old woman and remembers.[spoiler]

    Alot else like macross aerial barrage but wont be listing them, and though not anime, recently its this, haha:

  15. Stripey: i kinda notice that too…
    and about hitohira, it’s a dark horse series which i initially watched because of kawasumi ayako but with time and yuri goggles it quickly grew on me…

  16. I dunno about the AIR ones, but the haruhi one is definately rewatchable.

  17. Here’s the full pic!

    http://hontouni.com/taihendesu/images/pretty/beautifulearth.jpg

    And thanks Asrialys for reminding about the missed series. :)

  18. Oops, while at it, the previous link was mc vs colonel.
    This is DBZ bs Haruhi squad!

  19. LOL! No worries, I enjoyed the Mc/Colonel clip too :)

  20. I enjoyed Haruhi too much (who didn’t anyway?) that I rewatched the whole thing for more than 10 times and in consecutive months or weeks. And in AIR ep 12, the Misuzu dying scene was so tear jerking that I rewatched that scene for 4 times with the same effects

  21. For Haruhi, I mostly rewatched 3 scenes – Concert, Ryoko assault and Galactic battle :) For AIR it was ep 11, the ‘momma’ scene that I rewatched a lot besides ep 1. But ep 12 was great too.

    “Goal…”

  22. For me, itd have to be:

    AIR episode 11 “Beach” scene and episode 12 “Goal” scene

    Bleach episode 59 – Ichigo vs Byakuya fight (the best episode of Bleach by far)

    Gundam Seed – Kira vs Athrun fight; last few episodes

    School Days final ep – Makoto vs Sekai; Sekai vs Katsura

    Yami to Boushi to Hon no Tabibito episode 7 – …fan-service scenes with Hatsuki…well…yeah…

    Ai Yori Aoshi episode 15 – Kaoru/Aoi love scene

    Ah My Goddess! Season 1 episode 19 – Belldandy/love potion episode

    Zero no Tsukaima season 2 last episode – Saito dying to save Louise. IMO this ending was great until the mood died with Saito telling Louise about the fairy that saved him.
