Let’s be honest: sometimes the greatest anime binge isn’t the new shiny seasonal release—it’s revisiting an old favorite and reliving those moments that got you hooked the first time. With Crunchyroll’s enormous library, there are simply endless series to revisit, whether you’re in the mood for dramatic battles, tear-jerking gut-punches, or just some laughs. Below are ten of the most re-watchable anime streaming currently, listed in countdown fashion for maximum tension.
10. My Hero Academia
Action superhero action combined with high school drama—My Hero Academia is a contemporary shonen classic. The second time around, you begin to appreciate how the optimistic tone of the initial episodes lays the foundation for the darker plot twists later in the series. With the creative powers (Quirks), emotional rivalries, and expansive cast of characters, there’s always something fresh to enjoy. It’s a long ride, but for die-hard fans, it’s worth another go.
9. JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure
Few anime are so rewatchable—or memeable—than JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. Every arc restarts with fresh heroes, antagonists, and abilities, yet retains the over-the-top energy that makes it a legend. The surreal artwork, the crazy fight tactics, and the iconic one-liners only improve with age. Whether you binge-watch the entire saga or simply drop back into your favorite arc, JoJo never fails to charm.
8. Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba
If you’re after raw eye candy, Demon Slayer can’t be topped. It’s a simple premise—a boy battling demons to rescue his sister—but the stunning animation, the poignant sibling relationship, and the flashy action sequences are all worth rewatching over and over again. It’s one of those shows you can binge in a weekend and still want to go back to watch your favorite fights again.
7. Fruits Basket
For emotional storytelling, Fruits Basket is among the most gratifying rewatch shows. The 2019 remake finally completed the manga story, blending romance, trauma, and healing into a masterful whole. Each time you go back to it, the character development slams just that much harder, and the quiet development in their relationships shines all the brighter. It’s the type of show that has you sobbing, smiling, and contemplating every single time.
6. Spy x Family
Few shows are as simply enjoyable to rewatch as Spy x Family. The Forgers are a pretend family you’ll want to be real—Loid the suave spy, Yor the silent-but-deadly assassin, and Anya the telepathic mischief gremlin. With a blend of spy adventure, humor, and family-friendly feelings, it’s a show that never gets too heavy and always ends on a smiling note. Ideal for a light rewatch.
5. Bocchi the Rock!
A slice-of-life gem, Bocchi the Rock! is funny and inspiring in equal measures. Tracing the path of a socially shy girl to stardom, it works with laugh-out-loud humor as well as surprisingly emotional moments. The songs are memorable, the jokes always stick, and the comfortable atmosphere makes it ideal to rewatch whenever you just want to kick back. Watching it for the nth time is like spending time with old friends.
4. Gurren Lagann
If hype had a title, it would be Gurren Lagann. This is anime in its most louder, bolder, and absurd—giant mechs, oversize battles, and a plot that breaks through the skies. It’s not a complex view, but that’s precisely why it’s so simple to return to. Each rewatch is like an adrenaline fix directly to the heart.
3. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
This isn’t only an excellent anime—it’s a work of storytelling mastery. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood has the perfect balance of action, philosophy, and emotional resonance that few shows achieve. The first time you watch it, you’re swept up in the plot twists. The second time around, you see the foreshadowing, the well-tied character arcs, and the depth of meaning to its world-building. It’s a show that improves with age.
2. Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End
Frieren is a slow, contemplative fantasy—one that gets richer the more time you spend with it. The first read, you’re blinded by the magic and the subdued melancholy. The second, it’s the little things—the dialogues, the farewells, the slipping away of time—that cut deepest. It’s the sort of series you come back to not only for the tale, but for the sensation of inhabiting its world.
1. Jujutsu Kaisen
Few anime are as rewatchable on a whim as Jujutsu Kaisen. The action is slick, stylish, and infinitely engaging, but the real alchemy is in the characters—Yuji, Megumi, Nobara, Gojo, and the entire cursed cast. Rewatching allows you to bask in their dynamics before the darker narrative beats take over. Whether you’re here for the show-stopping animation or just to spend time with the crew, Jujutsu Kaisen continues to deliver.
Rewatching anime isn’t nostalgia—it’s discovering new things, reliving feelings, and allowing beloved tales to wash over you once more. And with Crunchyroll’s offerings, there are plenty of shows worth pressing “play” on a second time.
