| It was a figure of speach. It doesn't mean we feel like killing myself over an anime that has been over. Just like everyone else said here - it's the mix feeling of sadness, anxiety, loneliness and the like that people experience. Go ahead start a flamewar. Thing is - you can't say "if you get depressed so easily". Some things just affect us differently. For example I don't really seem to be disturbed by death. I've seen a lot of it and it doesn't bother me anymore but I would still get such feeling after an anime. |

| Ignoring the fire staring above my head, I'm gonna stay on topic. Doing any of these things will help you get over it: 1.)Look up hentai of the characters. It's what I do. For ecchi anime anyway. 2.)Read reviews of the anime you finished. Get other peoples' opinions. Generally, if you found an anime to be Godly, reading about its flaws and plotholes will help you realize that it wasn't all you thought it was, and help you quit thinking about it. 3.)Read the manga. Most good anime came from a novel. And if you don't wanna bother reading the novel, it goes to show you probably aren't as big of a fan as you thought. 4.)Just jump into another anime. |

I don't enjoy reading people bashin on my favourite series especially since I often rate not based on logic and facts but rather on emotions which makes my rating way of from other people. 3.I love Chrome Shelled Regios, rewatched it like 4 times and yet I can bring myself to reading the novel. I love reading fantasy and horror books but when it comes to j-novels they tend to bore me pretty quick. I guess I need the visual part in this japaneese type of enternainment. 4.That's the one I can second 100% |

drinkbeer said: drink beer to deal with it As someone who watches anime pretty much exclusively while drunk I can tell you that it's not a good idea. I would say it depends how deep the feeling is for you OP, but in general it's a good thing to be somewhat "shaken" after a good watch/read. It just means that it was worth the time invested. |

| In FMA Brotherhood Post-Anime Depression. I wish you all the best of luck. |
Anguished said: Do the opposite. Be very emotional all the time.It's kind of dangerous how easily people get influenced by anime. Control your damn feelings. Life sucks when you have to go out of your way to experience emotion. |

| Yeah I get a sinking feeling in my stomach whenever I finish something I enjoy, whether that's a TV series, anime, film, book etc.. I usually have a little break then start with something else. |
LookaTrickster said: Basically, just never stop watching, move on from one to the next and the post-anime depression will never get its chance to hit you. Keep moving on and don't look back. Best advice right here. |

| I just have a Levi hangover after watching SNK more more more! I just want "the Levi show" to air |
| It used to happen to me a long time ago. Now I don't really feel it anymore. |
an egomaniac and a fool |
| I get post-anime depression after every anime I've enjoyed, but they don't last very long. Even Azumanga Daioh made me a little sad, but fortunately the ending was sweet. Finished Steins;Gate a few days ago, and that hit hard. :( Amazing anime. |
OriginANIME said: Watch more anime. Its a win win situation. If you watch another good anime, then that will help you get over the previous good one you just completed. BUT, if you watch a bad anime then... you will also forget about the previous good anime you just completed because it was so bad your mind exploded. Basically this. I would like to add usually it is good to change up the genres a bit because it is hard to immediately find another brilliant series in the same genre that can match up to the one you just finished. |

| Well it comes down to how the series ends. If its amazing like Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, Soul Eater/manga, or Trigun/MAXIMUM, I feel satisfied and happy but at the same time somewhat irritated that I, once again, have to go out and find another anime for my tastes. And until I find that next anime, I tend to just dick around and try to hear about anime. Luckily I have hope! Soul Eater WILL come back to anime. No idea when but its obvious BONES loves Soul Eater as much as I do and theyll definitely reboot it like they did with FMA. |
 |
| I fangirl to the extreme for at least a week, with all the fanfiction and shit. And then afterwards, I watch another anime, but I'm scheming crossovers for the old anime left and right. And if I really like it, the fangirl/fanfiction stage will never stop, only subdue. |
| y'all need to shut the fuck up. |

| I always get this, usually I just listen to the anime's music and reblog gifs/pics on tumblr which somehow helps? |
| I've got this a total of 3 times so far, and the solution was always the same: Sit back, think about the wonderful experience I just had.... .. and smoke a shitload of meth. |

| I look at the recommendation page of the related anime to see which shows are like that one. If I'm not satisfied with the info about these recommended shows, I just start watching a slice of life. And when it ends, I start watching the ones which my friends suggest. |
| Nah, I'm not as attached any longer. |
| Yes, but I can get over it by watching equally awesome anime. (Helps if the anime has some Seiyuu from the previous one.) |

| Finished anohana and bunny drop and ugh, is hard men |
| Watch K-ON! can't help but be in a good mood after that |
 |
| This happened to me last Friday when I finished re-watching AKB0048 Next Stage. I'm so depressed that that it had to end. I want more! I'll just cheer myself up by watching it again! =D |
  |
| i get that feeling whenever i finish watching a good anime,i'm usually finding another good anime to watch or rewatch the series |
 |
| I don't know if it's depression what I feel after finishing a good anime... It's more like this feeling where your body feels empty, like there's a "void" within you that suddenly appears after you see the ending credits roll down on your screen. It's tough to deal with I'll tell you what! :( |
 |
| I'm not running out of enjoyable anime to watch anytime soon so I guess I don't have any trouble after finishing a good anime. If I were to be depressed by something it would be after watching some reeaaalllyyy depressing anime. Guess why I'm watching Aria right now? xD Oh wait there is one thing actually... no matter how many times you rewatch something, it'll never be the same as the first time :( |
| For those who seek perfection, there can be no rest on this side of the grave. Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment. |

I'm looking forward to how you felt about it. ;) |

| i started learning japanese in one of these post-anime depressions :^D |
 |
| God dammit, this is so stupid. |
| I think you'd look lovely with your wrists slit. |
| I do nothing. Well, I just think about the ending like a hundred times and just get over it. It took me a week of thinking about how awesome the endings of Shinsekai and Steins;gate. I usually think of "what if" scenario or alternative ending. Never got depressed except from CG R2 ending. |
| Happens to me as well. I'd say the more your life sucks and the better the anime is, the more you feel depressed. |
| When I finish a really good anime, I feel empty for a while. Though that feeling usually subsides over a day. Awesome/memorable endings make it last longer as well as catching up to/finishing the longer stuff. |
 |
| I have it too. When I finish an unique anime, I don't know what to do and my mind go blank. And I watch my favorites episodes all the time. I have it now by Saiunkoku Monogatari :/ |
| Use to happen not so much anymore. watching shows like one piece that are endless then going to a shorter anime that ends in 20 or so episodes I kinda feed like YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY did u have to end. Now i reallise there is an endless amount of good anime out there, So if I finish one I really like I Look up recommendation for similar anime and something of a similar genre |
 |
| length is not a factor AT ALL, i hate when i can watch them in one sitting because then thier over and i get soo sad the feels after watching girls and panzer and another it is just. D: but after watching a reasonable long series it felt the same i was lose but o well youtube helps somewhat. watching more than one series in a close time span may intensify the effect 2 in one day is much. i got anime to watch just the feels hurt. i would like more. |
| anime with cute girls is my thing. |
Shadowslave13 said: no ideal what you are talking about i have never had that problem even i had look it up for all my favorites they suck but i don't care that it is there, nothing has been ruined for me.Kind of unrelated: But this isn't my biggest problem. My biggest problem is whether I should look up porn for that anime or not. If I am too deeply connected with the characters then I won't look it up. If there are too many hotties or I have no significant connections then I look up porn. I don't want to destroy the "purity" of the character so I don't look up porn. Yeah, so, there's that just in case you were curious... I'll regret posting this but I won't delete it. |
| anime with cute girls is my thing. |
| I suffered from this after watching Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom. THAT Ending!! It made me depressed after a few days... And it happened |
