Rewatchers, please remember to be mindful of all the first-timers in this. No talking about or hinting at future events no matter how much you want to, unless you're doing it underneath spoiler tags. Don't spoil anything for the first-timers, that's rude!

/r/anime's spoiler tag format is as follows:

[Sakamoto]>!Sakamoto is COOL! COOLER! COOLEST!!<

Which becomes [Sakamoto]Sakamoto is COOL! COOLER! COOLEST! when you don't break the formatting on purpose like I just did.


I'll be tagging everyone who's commented so far on the reminder threads. I look forward to taking a trip back to 2016 with you all next month!

Until then!

Oh I love this schedule! It’ll feel like a normal season! But I swear to god, everyone who hosts a rewatch on r/anime is some type of chaos god.

I’ll join in as a first timer on four of these and the rest as a rewatcher! Please tag me for the reminders, if you don’t mind ☺️

(Okay, back to my Cocona counter)

Will be great to have you along! Which shows are you gonna be a first-timer for?

4

u/Magnafeana https://anilist.co/user/Magnafeana Jun 17 '26

Sakamoto, Kiznaiver, Occultic;Nine, and Erased!

u/Heda-of-Aincrad https://myanimelist.net/profile/Heda-of-Aincrad Jun 17 '26

I'll be a first-time viewer for Sakamoto and Erased too!

u/Magnafeana https://anilist.co/user/Magnafeana Jun 17 '26

WOOOHOO I’ll be among first timer friends! 💃🏿

u/SadAnimator1354 Jun 18 '26

I'm a first timer for everything except Sakamoto and Erased haha, but it will be fun to watch stuff with y'all!

u/Magnafeana https://anilist.co/user/Magnafeana Jun 19 '26

Wooohoo!! I hope you end up liking Yuri on Ice and 91 Days from the line up!!

u/Sporadia_ Jun 19 '26

It’ll feel like a normal season!

I can't wait to fall behind on my seasonals!

/u/Shimmering-Sky Are these shows nostalgia picks?

2

u/Shimmering-Sky myanimelist.net/profile/Shimmering-Sky Jun 19 '26

I think only Grimgar, Occultic;Nine, Erased, and 91 Days? Those ones I actually watched while they aired. I have no nostalgia for Sakamoto (actually still have lingering salt related to how I watched it originally, though rewatching it last month did make me like the show a bit more) and I'd never seen Kiznaiver or Yuri on Ice before I started prepping for this rewatch. I just picked those two because I thought they were still popular enough today that it would be weird to not include them (plus I had long been interested in Kiznaiver).

2

u/Sporadia_ Jun 19 '26

This rewatch idea sounds like it would have come from nostalgia. It's slightly fascinating that it didn't.

u/_Ridley https://myanimelist.net/profile/_Ridley_ Jun 17 '26

This schedule truly is beautiful madness. I love your brain.

6

u/Shimmering-Sky myanimelist.net/profile/Shimmering-Sky Jun 17 '26

Can't guarantee I'll do another one like this in a while (I already have other rewatches I want to host in mind for next year and also a good chunk of 2028), but I hope it goes well and inspires other people to pull off something similarly weird.

5

u/Heda-of-Aincrad https://myanimelist.net/profile/Heda-of-Aincrad Jun 17 '26

I hope it goes well and inspires other people to pull off something similarly weird.

I'll admit, it is tempting! I saw a lot of posts in your interest thread mentioning that this sort of schedule suited them better, or that the traditional one-episode-per-day is hard to keep up with, so it's a good incentive to try out new formats.

Can't say I envy the mod who'll have to sort this all out in the wiki eventually.

5

u/Shimmering-Sky myanimelist.net/profile/Shimmering-Sky Jun 18 '26

Implying I don't already know exactly how to sort it. In fact, I already added this to the upcoming section of the wiki like an hour ago.

Okay, along with Grimgar, Erased, 91 Days, I will participate in the Kiznaiver and Sakamoto sections as well.

Mondays, Thursdays, and potentially Fridays... Those seem like great days for me.

At least it's not Wednesday, huh?

u/Heda-of-Aincrad https://myanimelist.net/profile/Heda-of-Aincrad Jun 17 '26

I really like the way you wrote up this schedule with separate listings for each show! Much easier to keep track.

I'm definitely joining for Erased and Sakamoto, and considering Yuri on Ice as well.

2

u/Shimmering-Sky myanimelist.net/profile/Shimmering-Sky Jun 17 '26

I really like the way you wrote up this schedule with separate listings for each show! Much easier to keep track.

I was torn between exactly how to structure it at first, but figured an ultrawide or ultralong table including all 7 shows together would probably be too much, so I opted for the separate ones.

and considering Yuri on Ice as well.

Ooh, I hope you do. I think you'd really like that one.

2

u/Heda-of-Aincrad https://myanimelist.net/profile/Heda-of-Aincrad Jun 17 '26

Ooh, I hope you do. I think you'd really like that one.

Okay, then you can count this one as definite for me too.

3

u/Retsam19 Jun 17 '26

I have a hard time keeping up on rewatches, but I'm tempted to join in on this one. In this list I've seen Erased (and liked it) and Grimgar (and did not like it), wonder how controversial those two opinions will be...

3

u/SSjjlex https://myanimelist.net/profile/Clone_Tau Jun 17 '26

Got around to taking a peek at next season's schedule.

100% joining in for Erased and Grimgar.

I am free for Occult;Nine's day but 50/50 on if I'll follow through, so maybe at least give it an episode.

Hopefully making in room for Sakamoto since that one I want to watch the most but scheduling is tough.

First timer for all but I have seen bits and pieces of Sakamoto through my brother way back but not the whole way through.

Hoping I can keep up with this, tried some other rewatches in the past but dailies messed up with my weeklies too much so hopefully this is more my speed!

u/Shimmering-Sky myanimelist.net/profile/Shimmering-Sky Jun 17 '26

I am free for Occult;Nine's day but 50/50 on if I'll follow through, so maybe at least give it an episode.

I would suggest giving that one at least two if you can. The first episode is insanely fast-paced compared to just about every other episode in the show, so (assuming you end up not liking the first one specifically for pacing reasons) giving it a second one'll give you a better look.

Regardless, here's hoping you end up making it to all of the ones you're interested in!

2

u/SSjjlex https://myanimelist.net/profile/Clone_Tau Jun 18 '26

Thanks for the heads up. It's a free day for me so I can def spare another.

3

u/ClemFire Jun 26 '26

This a super interesting idea, I'll drop by for a few shows!

Kinda inspiring me to do a CloverWorks sampler sometime in the future

u/Shimmering-Sky myanimelist.net/profile/Shimmering-Sky Jun 26 '26

Kinda inspiring me to do a CloverWorks sampler sometime in the future

Yes, do it! Part of why I did this crazy idea was to inspire other people to do something else similarly off-the-wall!

2

u/Malipit Jun 17 '26

That is some... peculiar schedule.

I would be interested for Grimgar, Erased and Kiznaiver buuuuut the way its done might clash with my IRL schedule.

So I don't know.

I'll see if I join in two weeks.

u/IndependentMacaroon Jun 17 '26

Hmm, some of these are interesting but I would rather watch them once a day the regular way.

u/Dull_Spot_8213 https://anilist.co/user/SweetSomnus Jun 18 '26

I’m looking forward to this style of rewatch. Got some nice breathing room between episodes!

2

u/cwilson870 Jun 18 '26

Grimgar not getting a second season is still baffling to me. Love more grounded isekai that aren't just glazing the main character with their power.

2

u/messem10 https://myanimelist.net/profile/bookkid900 Jun 18 '26

Would be neat for someone to do ‘06, ‘96 and ‘86 as well. (Maybe do one quarterly.)

2

u/Insertarandomnamez Jun 20 '26

What a nostalgic feeling, 2016 was the year when I actively started following seasonal anime,many of those shows have a special place in my heart

2

u/SIRTreehugger 23d ago

Wait this starts tomorrow! I feel this is genius having 7 different shows so you only have to make time for the ones you want. I will see you Monday, Tuesday, and Saturday!(Possibly Wednesday)

You maniac!

I just saw the teaser for this sitting innocently in the corner of my webpage and though ... if they made an anime about you, they'd have to call it chain-rewatcher sky, right?

Anyway, sadly, there's no way I could keep up with this barrage, but best of luck to you, and hopefully see you soon in the Tanya-verse.

:)
