I do this for a few things, movies in particular. For me most recently, I'm planning on watching Bo Burnham's Inside this weekend, for the first time since I watched it shortly post-release. I wasn't really intending to wait *checks watch* nearly 3 years on that one, but I definitely felt it needed some space before a rewatch.

Anyone else treat certain pieces of media similarly?

  • [game] Donkey Kong Country 1/2/3
  • [anime] Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
  • [anime] Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann

The games are part of my childhood, and they aged really well, so if I don't stop myself from playing them all the time the muscle memory kills all the joy from playing.

Same thing with the two anime series - I love both but it has been a few years since I watched either.

I have rewatched Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann twice since I originally watched it in 2014, and it held up.

I also occasionally watch the final fight of the Lagann-hen movie on YouTube and it still holds up.

Yup, it aged really well, too. FMA:B too.

One TTGL episode that I occasionally watch (even if avoiding the rest of the series) is ep11, when Simon snaps off his grief and guilt. It's amazing how the right context makes even something as silly as "ore wa ore da!" (I'm me!) sound awesome.

Sometimes I feel like I should rewatch FMA B but then I'm like, nah I still remember it perfectly. To me it's just a perfect execution of what a story should be.

Love both those anime!
