What do you do after finishing an anime?
| What do you do after finishing an anime? Especially one that you're invested in. I almost always look for the fanwork everytime I finished an anime. The more I'm invested in it (especially the characters), the more I'd spent time in looking for more content about it (be it official or fanwork), and the more I'd engage myself with the fanbase. Basically all of the above (my vote). In a way, I actually enjoy the after-watching activities than the actual watching itself, lol. So it's always sad when the anime is unpopular (so there is no more content, nobody talk about it, the fandom is deserted, etc) Wbu? |

| Definitely cry and have an anime hangover |

| Either more content or move on to the next series immediately. Most of the other options are pretty much never a choice I'd pick. I don't care about fan made content, discussions or reviews. I don't have enough interest in areas such as staff for it to be particularly worthwhile. Outside of a few notable songs I'm highly unlikely to seek out a full soundtrack (those songs would also be things I look for while I'm watching it not after it ends). Even the aspect of more content is a bit too broad, like I'll look for more anime specific content but I have no desire to view live events. |
| If I loved it, then I'll try to find anime that's similar to it. And whether or not I enjoyed or disliked it, I'll also go to forum discussions to read other people's thoughts on it |

I guess I'd separate anime specific content and live content. Make sense! |

| I immediately move on to the next one.If I really enjoyed a show then I look for as many shows related to it(sequels, prequels,spin-off etc). If I find the girls to be attractive or hot.I just look for the hentai doujins.lol. |
| In most cases, I'll leave it at that and move on to the next show unless there is more story (sequel, manga) to cover. Completion generally leaves a hole until I find something else to cover it. |

| I pace around and try to digest and savour the feeling |

| Immediately play Azur Lane or Watch another. |
 |
| Can't feel sad about a show ending if you never finish them |
 |
| I either discuss with some friends or just move on to the next. After I finish a really good show it usually takes me some time to move on though. It's kinda like a hangover. I look at fanart, merchandise or at the source material if I really like the show. I look for the OST if I liked the OST itself even if the show was not that great. I also really like to watch analysis videos on YouTube. It's a way to understand more about the show and to deepen my love for it. |

| Basically nothing because almost nobody gives a shit about what I watch. |
 |
| I don't put much value in individual anime. I even recently watched 250 of them in a single day. If the anime had some importance to me I might mention than I had completed it to the discords I'm a regular in and converse about my thoughts, but if it was unremarkable then I won't even bother. |
  |
| - I read reviews before I watched the anime. - I usually check for the good soundtrack before I finish the anime. - If I really liked an anime, it is actually harder to me to watch other anime. Look for sequel is the first thing I will do. If it doesn't count I guess I read sites like wiki first when I think I missed something. The next thing I do is join the discussion, or just read them for fun (stuff like favorite characters, favorite scenes, etc). |
"The Slave is the have-not, the oppressed one with nothing to spare. But because the Slave is in that despairing situation, having nothing, it can kill the Emperor !" |
| “All of the Above”, but not entirely. Fan-arts, AMVs and Merchandise aren’t really my thing but the rest to varying degrees more often than not. I agree that it’s really sad to see the inactive-ness of the lesser-known but good (imo) shows too. One particular case that immediately comes to mind is that of Servant x Service, I’ve no clue as to why this wasn’t well-received in terms of popularity in particular both in and out of Japan. |

| I do three things after I finish an anime: 1. I give a reasonable rating for the show. 2. I read other people's reviews and see how my thoughts and opinions compares to theirs and 3. Wait a bit before watching the next anime. The last one really depends on what I want to watch next. For example, if I want to watch a Slice of life after I watched a fast-paced action show, I would need to take at least a one day break due to the fact that transitioning between two different genres is difficult and could make me not want to watch the show again. If it's two of the same genre, then I would probably watch on the same day. |
| very rarely I would search for the song, moving on to next anime usually. I did discuss about Sword Art Online, I may do so with third season of log horizon in future. |
| Might read the last episode discussion about it and see some other peoples opinions about the show. Then, if I have sufficient time, start the next series I want to watch. |
| I like to look for the op,ed soundtracks and ost, as I consider music an essential piece to complete an artwork. Also in general I like to listen to music. |
''Enemies' gifts are no gifts and do no good.'' |
| I either move to next anime immediately or search for more related content if I'm seriously hooked up. |
 |
| Well, since my weeb friends are but a few, i usually just move on to the next anime anyway. Until i've completed every weekly updates i either go look for the source material or just randomly look for a manga to read. Sometimes, i go check on the seiyuu when i think i've heard of their voice before. Or maybe look for the name of the soundtracks i've heard on the anime. The least thing i do is to read reviews, cuz it could impact my impression on the story drastically. Or even made me want to drop it. Also, i'm afraid i might find a toxic reviews that could leave a bad aftertaste. One thing i never do is to look for merchandise after finishing an anime. I just look for fanarts of the anime not the merchandise. |

Xstasy said: I usually just move to another one, unless I really liked an anime in which case all of the above. Same for me. I only like to dive deeper into the series if it was actually good. |
 |
| I'll look for hentai of it, of course. Why isn't that even an option? |

This is why my attachment to shounen goes a bit deeper than for other anime.Animes like dragon ball or one piece haven´t truly ended yet,so the fandom can never actually die since there is always more content to come. |

| Move on to the next anime. In rare cases I see specials/ovas/movies. It depends on how much I doesn't want the anime to end. |
Yeah, I bet you fap to tanjiro x nezuko hentai :3 |

| Write a short summary or just the highlights in my memory and call it a day. |
 |
| I made it kind of a thing for me to watch all the specials and OVAs after I'm done with the main anime, I just have to watch everything related to that series before moving on. Sometimes I cry that there will be no season 2........i definitely do that sometimes. |
Yeah sounds pretty out of character for this person.Is it sarcasm,or is it genuine?Guess,we´ll never know. |

Pretty much this. :3 There are sooooo many contents of One Piece, official and fanwork, and more is still coming :3 |

| I mostly don't follow the seasonals and am on mobile, so I usually don't participate in forum discussions. I like to read reviews that oppose my view of the anime I watched in an attempt to get a more critical understanding of it. |
 |
| Look for the fanwork (fanart, fanfic, AMV, doujinshi, etc). I mainly look for doujinshi and p**n fan pics of characters in the anime. Afterwards maybe I will check what the forums of the anime are discussing and maybe add some comments of my own. |

I sorta do a lot of the things on that list, depending on how much I liked the show. While I don't really go on the discussion forums, I do like to talk about a series I finished with friends that watched the same thing - especially if they were the ones pushing me to watch it in the first place. If I see any videos talking about the series - either reviewing it or talking about some aspect of the plot or theme - I really enjoy watching those. Staff and Studio is usually something I'll notice while I'm watching something, especially if I see a really cool bit of animation (and I wonder, 'man, what studio did this again? I love it') I definitely try to watch a series in order, so after I finish the first season, I take a few minutes to add the rest of the anime to my PTW/HOLD list. If I liked it a lot (8-10), I'll even spend a few days downloading wallpapers and images for my desktop backgrounds. I've never been that big on buying merchandise, but I can certainly appreciate seeing it and recognizing it after watching the series it's from. At the very least, I love buying posters, so I'm always super hyped when I find some really awesome artwork |
| I'll check for fanart or rewatch memorable moments. |
 |
| Usually I read reviews of it afterwards to see if my thoughts matched up with others. Helps me reflect on it more That or if I really didn’t care about it I’ll just move on |
 |
| Usually i find communities related to it, listen to the music (openings/endings/themes), sometimes watch the side content, continue reading the manga where the anime left off if its still going on and then move on to the next anime on my watch list. That's how i have been doing things. |

Daft Punk is love, Daft Punk is life  |
| Usually immediately move on to another anime. Sometimes I look up the opening/ending on YouTube if I like the song. That's about it |
