Konnichi wa Minna~san - Ok, let's get to the point. How many times do you usually watch your Anime?
Well, for me, just one if I get the point of the story, twice to confirm something about the story - three and above means I really really like that anime that it takes time for me to get bored watching it again and again.

Once through for everything at least, then it goes on my shelf and becomes part of my collosial DVD library and then whenever I'm bored I go and pick something out I haven't seen in a while. I've been rewatching Witch Hunter Robin lately.

At least twice, once for the sub, once for the dub. If I see it again it must be one of my favorites.

It definitely depends on the anime. More often than not, like maybe 90% of the time, I’ll only watch something all the way through once. If I loved it, It’ll be more. There are some series I watch over and over, and some I can barely get through even once. Also, I’m definitely more likely to re-watch a shorter series, for obvious reasons. But then I’ve been through the 70 episode Cardcaptor Sakura at least 5 times, so...

Once, twice, maybe three times for most anime. If I'm really bored I'll watch the series again dubbed for shits n' giggles. There are a few I can watch many times over. Typically any anime that I can always catch something I missed in previous viewings, like Boogiepop Phantom. That or Ebichu, that always makes me laugh no matter how many times I see it.

It usually depends. Most anime I only see once, such as DBZ. But if it is something I found truly enjoyable, I may try and get my friends involved as well. Such as Sakura Diaries. That was the first anime I showed my exgirlfriend, so I could get her into anime. So I have seen that twice. I've seen Guyver multiple times though, just because I love that series.

I rarely go back and watch a series again. I have so much anime to go through that I’m like a machine; once a series is done I hop right into another one, and so on and so fourth. There only series I've take a point to watch multiple times is cowboy bebop and trigun. I really want to watch saikano and hibane ramnei again but I don't have the time to go back to them, I’m just too busy watching new material! Later on in life when I finally reach the bottom of my anime pit I will go back and re-watch some of my favorites.

I'll usually rewatch a series unless I really didn't like it at all.
If I rewatch I usually will rewatch it with a freind.

That is a tough one... but at least two to three times for most of the stuff I buy; once for myself, once with a friend, and occasionally once with the anime club. For things I enjoy immensely? That goes into the five times plus range, which doesn't happen too often.

Twice usually, subbed and dubbed versions. After that I'll typically rewatch my favorite epsiodes, or episodes that I can't remember. Or I'll rewatch an entire series with friends or at an anime club. Also if I went a long time without watching a series I'll rewatch it. So, all in all I'll probably watch each series about 3 times at any given length of time.

I like rewatching movies, OAVs, and short series for the most part (13 episodes). I also like to rewatch some of the 26+ episode series every now and then, but only if I really like them.
I've seen each of the first 62 episodes, the movie, and first OAV of Rurouni Kenshin at least 3 times now (my favorite anime franchise by the way), while most of my other top 5 TV series I've seen at least twice.
The titles I've seen the most are probably anime movies. I think I've seen Fatal Fury: The Motion Picture, Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz, Ninja Scroll, the original Vampire Hunter D, and a few of the DBZ movies at least half a dozen times each.
I've actually got a lot of time on my hands, but instead of constantly watching and rewatching anime, I usually play a video game here and there (working on Dynasty Warriors 5 right now) or do some school work or house chores in my spare time (I like to keep the house clean ).

First I rent it. I use the rental phase to weed out the titles that don't interest me enough to want to own them.
Then, if I like it, I buy it; and if I've bought it, I rewatch it. What's the point of buying if you don't want to see it repeatedly?! After that, it's usually somewhere between a heap, gob, and a bunch.
For the most part I put something on when I'm working out, something to keep me company and to take my mind off that second set of painful reps: nothing like watching Kyo transform into his "other form" with your head hanging upside down on the bench(press). (then again, some anime make a lot more sense to me with my head hanging upside down and all the blood rushing there... )

I don't rewatch anime (unless in the company of friends). There are just too many good anime out there that I haven't seen yet and our time on earth is limited. ;o

Most things I watch I see at least 2-3 times, if not more, because I show them to my mom and my friends. Sometimes that's really fun; other times it can be boring (especially if it's a series that was just 'good' or if it's my 4th or 5th time). In the latter case I sometimes read manga or something while my friend(s) is/are watching it. By myself, I usually don't repeat stuff too much (too many new things to see ), but I do occasionally watch favorite episodes or arcs over again if I'm really in the mood for them.
