    If I stop playing a video game for even a couple weeks I forget everything in terms of the mechanics, crafting, and inventory etc and lose interest.

    That’s usually good.

    If it’s been literally years, you know the new writers and director are probably going to screw everything up relative to the original, and there will also probably be a change in cast.

    I’d much prefer to forget the original than have a good memory of it and be disappointed with the changes.

    My least favorite is when you go back to watch season 1, enjoy it, then watch the new season and you can’t even finish it due to how different it is

      Oof altered carbon got me that hard. The first season is so confusing and amazing. The second season… Well

      Loved the first volume of a new fantasy series. Wait eagerly for Volume II. Nope out halfway through because it stinks.

    This happened to my wife and I with season 4 or Ozark. Fortunately I found a well made video on YouTube that summarized Seasons 1-3. I was amazed at how much stuff we had forgotten.

      Babylon 5 had the right idea. Do an animated version; you can keep all the original actors and have much wilder special effects

    This is presently happening with me for invincible. Season two just started and I have no idea what happened to get us where we are.

    But Dr. Who is returning, so I’m rewatching the entire series. Just got to Matt Smith…

    Lately I’ve just been rewatching the final episode of the previous season before starting a new one. I’m a little lost in that episode but by the end I’m following along, and it’s usually an exciting finale episode that gets me excited to watch the next episode.

    That‘s not bad. You could also get excited about a show getting 2 new seasons and then you realize they fucking suck.

      Anyone else remember Dexter’s Lab getting a new season that was basically just a prototype for the even worse Johnny Test?

    Doesn’t happen if you only watch obscure >decade old single season animes

    Never mind the fact that I’ll never find another person who watched and liked From the New World, or Canaan, or Flip Flappers

      Personally I see it as a selling feature knowing that an anime is only going to be one or two cour. I don’t like to watch series that never end so it’s nice knowing that the story has a conclusion.

        Who said that these anime ends after one season? Many times, they have a cliff hanger ending because the producers were hoping to get a second season or they are a faithful adaptation of the first part of a manga that is only half finished.

      Canaan was the shit! Try finding fans of Bubblegum Crisis, Noir, Eatman, or Bakumatsu Kikensetsu Irohanihoheto; 90s anime kids don’t get together and have rewatch parties lol

          You’re in for a treat with Bubblegum Crisis. I’d also recommend Nyan Koi, Evangelion (totally not niche but why not), and for a recent anime that has a 90s feel, Megalo Box. I’m a trove of anime suggestions lol

    And that’s why I regularly rewatch Donkey Kong Country

    Mother fucker, Teletoon going to drop season 3 any day now
