idk man
I believe in ghosts, even though I've never seen one before and get this. I don't believe in anyone of the people that have said they seen one before. It's kind of like how I think about the concept of love. Like I believe one day I'll fall in love, get married and live happily ever after, even though I've never actually fallen in love with anyone yet. You see what I'm saying? For some people falling in love is like second nature, but I can't even relate to that. So if I've never fallen in love before is it real? And that makes me wonder if ghost are real. I haven't seen one yet so maybe they're not.

Rewatch.
The only thing you can rely on is that you can't rely on anything.

Start a new one. If it left a form of impact on me, I might take an hour break or something.
Looking for a character or a certain Anime/Manga?
Looking for recommendations?

Rewatch favourite scenes, start another one or two and wait for a sequel.

When I finish a good anime I take a break(2 days-1 week). When I finished my favorite anime Gurren Lagann(which was also my first) I didn't watch another anime for about 3 years because it was so good. This is also because I wasn't really interesting in watching another series.

I tend to start looking at online reviews and discussion threads to secret indulge in joy when people agrees with the anime and whine to my monitor if some people hates it :P

Then I will move on to the next anime... And the cycle goes on.

After a period, I would rewatch the anime and notices more things I have missed out the previous time :P

I usually start randomly hating several innocent characters, blaming them for the death of my favorite character (if it's a guy he's guaranteed to die).

Ugh, how anyone can actually enjoy fanfiction is beyond me. Fanfiction is always poorly written, and if a story inspires you so much then write your own goddamn story instead of just making an add on to someone else's IP. Not only is it lazy, but it's doing a disservice to whoever wrote the original story and you're basically telling them that their work is incomplete and that you're more deserving of writing a followup than the original artist.

Anyways, tangent over. On topic, I look up YT videos of the anime, maybe change my desktop background, and see what others have to say about it to see if they might've caught something that I missed. Then I go watch something else or play a videogame.

It's an opinion obviously, but most people who aren't insipid morons would agree. Especially since the average fanfic writer is some 13 year old girl with ADD who listens to Linkin Park. Hardly the makings of a nuanced fiction writer.

Well fanart doesn't try to add something to an established canon so it's more humble in nature, but Sturgeon's Law is definitely in full effect.
