| Watch more anime, it will go away eventually. |
| You find another one and continue going in that cycle. I don't know if I've ever had that though. Hm. |
| Watch something better. |
| Your favorite anime is shit. |
| Watch it again. I cannot say I have ever had this problem. But enjoy the good thing, watch it again |

| Read a happier manga like NANA, it's about sluts so what's not to like. |
| Watch Aria |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| Well just know that every anime has to come to an end eventually and move on to other series. |

| Watch more anime pretty much. Maybe watch something thats more upbeat and happy. Like a slice of life or comedy. Once you start laughing again you'll look back and appreciate the depression. |
DoubleDango said: You're not meant to get over it, it's meant to stick with you -- that's the whole point. ^^^Actually, yes.^^^ I don't know that I've had PAD . . . I like that . . . but I have often experienced a certain emptiness at the end of something that really "got to me." And as others have suggested, the best thing you can do is start a new one and make new friends with new characters, some of which may remind you of your old ones. Don't try to replace the anime you are so fond by seeking anime "just like it." Other shows may share similarities but, if the show you love is really that good, there won't be anything "just like it" and that is a good thing. I think one of the reasons I enjoy helping with recommendations is it allows me to visit old friends every time I run through my list looking for things others might like. As they say, get back on the horse. |

| I watch something else right after I finish. |
 |
| watch some light stuff like k-on or lucky star just to make me smile (or rewatch Seitokai Yakuindomo and laugh so hard i allmost forget why i was depressed in the first place) |
| When I finish a good anime, I get satisfied. Hey, can rewatch previous episodes if I miss the characters. But guess it's just me. |
| It will go away eventually. Might take a few weeks like for me. Although i've had post-anime depression twice so far. To make things easier, rewatch the anime 2-3 times, if that doesnt help. Start reading the manga, when you hit the latest chapter, it will be a struggle for a few days, then re-read the manga twice. At that point you cant do anything else. Its like a drug addict thrown into closed room with no drugs. :D |
| If anything, re-watching/reading and/or looking for further materials related to the serie will make you feel it all the more. Best feeling. |

| I don't feel post-anime depression unless it's a very serious show. I just finished Phantom Requiem for the Phantom, and the ending did leave me with a sour aftertaste that lingered for quite a while. Sometimes, I just enjoy the bittersweet feeling, because that would basically mean the anime successfully accomplished what it had set out to do. If I want to get over it, I just watch/read something very different (maybe a comedy after something like Elfen Lied would be nice)... |

-_-Reversify-_- said: I watch something else right after I finish. Thats what I do when I don't really want to think about that anime anymore, but when I wanna think about it and it's meaning,if it changed me in some way, I usually stay a while before watching something else. |
| I give myself a break and try something new. Maybe read a manga or two... or watch more TV... until I get over that feeling and decide to hunt for a new anime to watch, and finally, let myself enjoy that new anime. |

Thank you for making me realize that I have bad taste in anime. o.o Aria, I guess, was just not my cup of tea. :3 |

| ARIA ARIA ARIA ARIA? ARIA ARIA! ahem When I get 'post-anime depression' - which is rare - it's normally more a short but sharp realisation that this show is over and then normally later that day/the next morning I'll be really thoughtful about what I just watched (Dennou Coil in particular did this). I think the best treatment isn't to search out another show, though it can help, but to find a kind of resolution to your feelings within yourself, how you felt, and understand that this beautiful 5/10/20/43 (lol LoGH) hour romance has to eventually draw to an end. After all, anime is serious business. lisnoire said: Don't try to replace the anime you are so fond by seeking anime "just like it." Other shows may share similarities but, if the show you love is really that good, there won't be anything "just like it" and that is a good thing. As they say, get back on the horse. Surprisingly sage advice, and not just in terms of anime. Gilliene said: I give myself a break and try something new. Maybe read a manga or two... or watch more TV... until I get over that feeling and decide to hunt for a new anime to watch, and finally, let myself enjoy that new anime. This is also a good idea. Rushing back into things just muddies the experience. Like a good cheese/wine, let it mature. |
| Why would anyone want to get over that feeling? It's awesome. My longest PAD was over one month, I think. Lately though it's one or two days at max. Watching more anime usually drives it off, but I seldom watch anything during PADs since I want to savor the moment. |
| I so know this feeling. I usually look up, if it was adapted from an Manga, and look if the Manga goes beyond the Anime. If yes, then I read it :) Well, if there isn't, then I usually just watch something else. It is usually away, after a week to a month. |

| this hasn't happened to me in a while, sadly. But when it did I used to take breaks from anime, or become bitter about anime, that works too. |
| I got it from a game i played recently, played 120 hours then the main character dies and stuff another character looses their memory's... XD I was seriously gutted i have not been able to bring my self to play it agian yet =( <PfffT I actually feel kinda =( thinking about it still LMAO But yeah... Watch somthing happy after wards i guess.. or read fan stuff from it or the manga XD |
| My parents always taught me not to talk to strangers............Well, that went well didnt it? |
MaedhrostheTall said: I remember doing that to a certain degree. I know how you feel. Whenever i finish a good anime/manga i sorta float around in la-la land for a while just kinda savoring what i just finished. In that time i sorta browse art/fanart sites like deviant art and dwell over how awesome or adorable X or Y was. It lasts for a while but then i start the cycle all over again. . . . . . sometimes i loved a particular character/couple to death and i haunt the fanart sites specifically for stuff of them. MaedhrostheTall said: I'm hunting for anime/manga's best stories they can offer so i'll probably be at this for a while. (something tells me i'll be trawling forever.) The quest for the perfect anime rush is never over. |

| find a new anime |
| I've had this happen to me several times. Of course, I get attached to characters easily. |
| Fuzzy Pickles! |
| So I took some of the advice here and went ahead and finished Cowboy Bebop..............................................................................REALLY DIDN'T HELP WITH THE "FEELING SAD" -____- BANG! |
