| You know the one I'm talking about. After you finish a really good show or series and you're left with that empty feeling. I usually get it from most romance anime, or anything with a really good ending. I know it happens to me because I get really attached to characters and relationships, so any tragedy just messes me up. Shoutout to Your Lie in April for making me feel like a trainwreck for a week. The closest word I've found that embodies it well is "Saudade" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saudade Thanks Brazil for having the words to describe my emotional state. |

| For me it would probably be Your Lie in April and Akame ga Kill!. |
| first of all, i love non-portuguese speakers who are fond of the word "saudade", it's like a little national treasure c: i felt like that after serial experiments lain and shoujo kakumei utena, especially the latter. the ending was so powerful and so different from anything i'd ever seen before, it really stuck with me for like a week |

| With an "Empty Feeling" you mean that it was really sad? Like being depressed, afterward? If so, then YLIA would be the perfect answer, from me. |
| One show that comes to mind is Planetarian, the ONA series |

Just anything that made the viewer have a distinct feeling of missingness or longing for more, or something along those lines. Even something not inherently sad like Cowboy Bebop caused that for me. But I might just be a baby. |

I'm fluent in German as well, and the closest thing we have is "sehnsucht". It's always interesting to see how different languages and cultures can portray emotions through a different concept or word that isn't present in others. |

| Quite a few shows, YLIA for sure. Kimi no Na wa and The Garden of Words too. First real anime I watched was SAO and I felt wrecked when I finished it. At least until I started watching better shows. |
 |
| Darling in the Franxx left me very sad and depressed lol |
| Samurai Champloo made me feel that way with its bittersweet ending |
| 5cm Per Second. It was too real, no artificial crap like killing off every single character for no reason |
 |
| I didn't know about the word before. Sennen Joyuu is basically about this feeling (thank you OP, I finally have a good description) and this is also exactly how it made me fell. That's what I love it so much for. And the second one worth mentioning is Cowboy Bebop. Death Note actually did this to me too, but I feel like it was amplified by the fact that it was my first anime. The post anime depression was real. |
 |
| all the ones that had me fapping till i couldn't anymore |

| i really hate those feelings. this empty feeling doesnt only occur when the story was sad or depressed but also when it was a great adventure or amazing story which left wistful and nostalgic immediately after finishing. finished monogatari second season and i'm totally empty right now. first arc was low but holy shit the story and char developement was so good. as a child i always felt very empy after finishing DB and DBZ. shinsekai yori is another one. and FMAB. and psycho pass and steins:gate. fate zero. and many others. dont have to forget little wihich academia |
| -Chobits -GJ-bu -Gosick -Hayate no Gotoku! -Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso That's what I can remember. Oh!, also when Sao 2 ended. |

| K-On! It was mostly because the coming-of-age substory that KyoAni had woven into the original work. |
| I've never really felt that way. I've left anime wanting more (like Dragon Maid), but if an anime ends well enough why would you want to ruin that? Exception being Kare Kano which didn't have Hideaki Anno for the last 8 episodes so ofc I felt like I was empty after watching it |
   Why don’t we become monsters and really mess up this awful world? Just destroy until there’s no more evil, no more sadness, no more anything… Wouldn’t that be great? |
| For me, it would be Your Lie in April, Assassination Classroom and Your Name. |
| Devilman Crybaby messed me up for longer than it should've had. |
| The last one was Shinsekai Yori... A romance anime that messed me up would be Oregairu. BTW "Saudade" doesn't mean this kind of "empty" LOL |

| White Album 2 one of the worst endings I have seen when it comes to anime + the anime was made for one reason. advertising for a Visual Novel, sigh. Manga woud be Henshin, don't think I have ever read something as fked up as that. Happy that Henshin got a alterntive verison now. Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Kenkaku Romantan - Tsuioku-hen, too. The ending is horrible and even if the anime got a sequel it coud not really feel that emptiness that got left behind. |
 |
| Nagi no Asu kara, Your Lie in April, Katekyo Hitman Reborn and 5cm per second |
 |

| That usually happens with long shows. It happened with DBZ and Bleach. After spending so much time with the characters, you miss them. Also happened with Digimon Adventure 02, and Digimon Tamers. |
Bum Bum Dum Dum |
| Texhnolyze. Even though the whole show is full of nihilism and depression - and i had no expectations from the end whatsoever - it still felt really brutal...the way it ended that is. |

I completely agree with that, with the last few episodes, along with how it ended, I’d say that I had a stronger “empty” feeling than usual with Texhnolyze. |
 |
| First thing that comes to mind is The tale of Princess Kaguya...the most bitter ending ive ever seen. |
 ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* 愛してる *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧ |
| Akame ga Kill Re:Creators Plastic Memories |
| Oregairu is life |
| K-On!! - missed their MOEness and shenanigans |
 |
| Persona 4 The Animation. It was my first completed anime and I was feeling down for about a week. I wished the story with P4 crew lasted forever haha xD |
| haha as a brazilian I'm kinda proud that you mention that word for me it was gurren laggan, baka to test and made in abyss |
| Rurouni Kenshin: Tsuioku-hen Oniisama e Somewhat: Wolf Children Aria the Origination |
| Avatar: Anzu Kadotani from Girls und Panzer. Sig by MissIntrovert.  |
| Maybe Cross Ange? That is the last anime I've binged and it has been at least 2 years now. Can't get enough Nana Mizuki. |
| Romance also the type of genre that makes me feel depressed afterwards Charlotte for example the ending doesn't feel right at all |
  "O kawaii koto" ( ´• ᴗ •` ) I wish i could love myself~ |
| I guess everything besides some comedy shows. |
   |
| b: the beginning? everything felt boring and poorly made after it. |

| Full metal alchemist brotherhood for being so awesome and devilman crybaby come out of the top of my mind. |
| Love does not exist, there's no such thing as love. Therefore there is no sorrow. That's what I thought...  |
