Did you spend a few days in depression town? Or did you somehow get over it within a day? What anime was it? Did you spend some time looking through wikia articles, forums etc.?

share your experience here.

Well, usually I keep on repeating the last scenes of the anime. Listen to the opening and ending songs non stop, and then cry my eyes out when I listen to the OSTs.

Just re-watch it's best episodes. Also tried to look for titles that maybe a bit similar. Reading the manga of course also helps... =) (I'm doing it for GetBackers)

My favorite anime hasn't ended yet and probably won't for another 10 years.

jump just makes to much money on one piece to let it end. even if the author wanted to they probably wouldnt let him.

Cried a lot. I mean, more than I've cried ever. I cannot recall having cried that much in my entire life. Even if you put all such instances together.

Depression. Dysthymia makes this especially hard. A long period that's hard to say when it ends, it doesn't really end. Not completely. Although that's not entirely attributed to the show.

I wrote and am writing a lot. It's how I cope with most things. I look at artwork, forums, wiki's, listen to the music or something that fits my mood.

There's often a period of "aftershock" when I finish some kind of meaningful fiction. That hasn't really stopped yet, or maybe I don't want it to stop. We'll see how it is down the road.

After finishing Season 2 of K-On, I waited for the movie to come. After watching the movie, I endlessly re watched it while waiting for the English dub of K-On Season 2 to be released on DVD in Australia. After Season 2's dub sucked, I waited for the day when they were screening the K-On Movie at a cinema in Sydney. After seeing the K-On Movie in Sydney, I waited for the dub of the movie to be uploaded online so I could download it. After downloading and enjoying the movie in dub form, I waited for the Movie to be released on DVD so I could see the Behind the scenes stuff. After seeing the Behind the scenes stuff, I watched the movie subbed again. After watching the movie subbed again, I watched it dubbed again.

The new manga sucks and the ending was as good as I could hope for so I don't want a Season 3. And now I've hit a brick wall and am on an endless cycle of re watching

I always get a little post-anime depressed when an anime I love ends, but it also applies to video games and novels, too. Then I will spend some time reminiscing on it, and perhaps listen to some OST and watch some scenes, and soon enough I'll move on to a new anime, and probably repeat that again, haha.

-read as many fanfiction available
-collect as many fanarts
-making fanarts
-making fanfictions
-rewatch
-listen to the op/ed/ost all the time until you bored (if you ever get bored) *but I don't do this if the op/ed/ost sucks

those are what I always do if I'm obsessed with an anime, it's easy if the anime is popular, but is really frustrating if the anime is not that popular (which means few fanarts, few fanfic, the fanfic/fanart are hard to find, etc)

I did that until I find new anime that good enough to replace it. But it's quite hard...

Anime that I'm obsessed with:
Gin Tama
Katekyo Hitman Reborn
Kuroko no Basuke

but I tend to obsessed with the character, not to the anime as a whole..(Gintoki, Hibari, Aomine...)

My current and probably biggest obsession ever: Shingeki no Kyojin.
I'm obsessed to Eren, ErenxMikasa, erenxanyone, the music and the anime as a whole which is the first time for me, I usually marathoned anime, but I find it impossible to wait SnK until it finished(even once a week had been a torture for me) and I don't know how I will cope when it ends..............I checked snk fanfiction everyday to see if there are any new/updated ff, I also checked zerochan, deviantart and pixiv for fanarts and doujin, I rewatch the anime almost everyday, I always rewatch the whole episode before watching the new one, snk OP, ED, and OST are the only songs on my current playlist.........and... I just can't bring myself to watch/enjoy other anime, at least for now, not when snk is still airing.

I never wanted a dakimakura so bad before, but I really really want eren dakimakura!!!!! I just want to be able to hug him!! XD (well I do want Hibari and Aomine dakimakura before but not as bad)

*If you think I exaggerated it, I'm not! You can check my pc, I have >10000 fanart collection!

Huh? I honestly don't see the problem. Would you rather they made a bunch of filler episodes?

When a show's over it's over. The only time you should complain is if there's some external factor like it had to end prematurely due to contract reasons or something, but I'd rather have my favourite anime end when it's supposed to than risk drawing it out meaninglessly.

Just start watching something else instead, how hard can it be. The memories will still be with you anyway.
