Will take me a while to get used to this new adaptation - I loved the 1990s version - but the first episode looked promising.

Sounds like a good idea. Over on r/anime there is usually an interest thread followed by an announcement thread and then the actual rewatch thread. Given the small scope of this community right now I think an interest thread would be overkill.

The best option might be for those interested in hosting a rewatch to just go straight to the announcement. Those interested in participating can than chime in.

The announcement should probably contain:

• The title we are watching (duh)
• links to MAL and AniList
• a synopsis
• date (I recommend adding the time in UTC format so everyone can quickly figure out the time for their own timezone.)

Maybe the mods could sticky post a short rewatch 101?

Beyond that we can always make improvements later.

I always liked reading along with the /r/anime rewatches

Same for me. I also like the idea of bringing rewatches to lemmy.

Maybe it would be a good idea to start of with movies or short OVAs to test the waters? It would be a smaller commitment for participants.
