When the anime is super long and great, it just feels like you grow with them everyday you watch one of the episode. So when you spent time so much time watching the characters grow and improve, it feels like you are apart of their journey, thus growing more attached to it. However when the day finally comes, the realisation that the anime is coming to an end soon hits you, you feel empty and lonely. It feels like a part of you is gonna leave you.
For me it's because it opens and fills a void in my heart, but when I finish it, it becomes empty again. (But this low-key feels like the people who say "it's more than just a cartoon, it's life"."
I'm currently going to the worst case of Post Anime Depression I ever experienced and it just consumes me... Funnily enough, it's a manga that I finished reading for the first time over 10 years ago. The name of the manga is "Anatolia Story" (or "Red River" in some countries) and the physical paper volumes have sat untouched on my bookshelf for several years after I first read through them. For some reason, I recently decided to reread the manga. I still had a vague memory of the story and characters, but much of it was just a blur. I never expected that this manga, years after its initial purchase, could shatter me so emotionally. I was probably too young at the time (I was about 14 when the manga was completed) to really understand the story and characters, and to be fully emotionally invested in this world. Reading the last chapter really caused me physical heartache and by the time I reached the last page, tears were rolling down my cheeks. It was as if I had found old familiar friends and a familiar world and lost them just as quickly. I spent endless hours looking for more material on this manga (funnily enough, it was made into a musical in Japan about three years ago), but the emptiness inside me is still painfully present. Knowing that these characters never really existed in this form almost tears my heart out at times. Although I am immensely grateful to my 10 year old self for originally discovering the manga quite by accident in a bookstore, I have also thought that I could have avoided this pain simply by never touching the volumes again. In any case, I sincerely hope that these feelings will soon pass and I can look back on this fantastic story with positive feelings.
Ahh I relate to this a lot. I just finished a manhwa (touch to unlock) and im now completely shattered. Have you gotten over it? You have right? How do you feel about the series now looking back? Atm I too wish that I had never read touch to unlock and wish that this pain passes soon.
@@ujjwalrao6832 I’d like to say I’ve overcome the worst of my post-anime depression, but let’s be real-the manga is still living rent-free in my head. At this point, I probably think about it and its characters at least once a day. The story’s ancient Anatolian setting in the Hittite Empire sparked a whole new obsession, and soon I found myself down endless rabbit holes of documentaries and articles about this long-lost civilization. Surprisingly, this helped soothe my post-anime depression a bit, but it also introduced a different kind of melancholy. I couldn’t shake this haunting thought: how could so little remain of such a grand culture? It’s strange and sad to realize that billions of people lived, loved, and fought in a world that’s all but vanished, leaving behind only fragments and ruins. So, am I the poster child for moving on from post-anime blues? Probably not. I tend to latch onto things that move me this deeply, and that can turn into long-lasting obsessions. But here’s the good news: while I still think about the manga daily, the sense of loss and grief that hit me like a truck when it ended has gradually faded.
@@xPoemi glad to hear that your grief has subsided and youve piqued my interest as well. I might have to check this series out but I'll wait for a while. Dont want post anime depression again so soon.
@@ujjwalrao6832 Oh, I’d be absolutely thrilled if my comment inspires someone to pick up this manga! Especially since I don’t really have anyone to discuss it with-I’m out here fangirling solo! I’m not sure what kind of stories you usually enjoy, but this one’s a romance set against a fascinating historical backdrop. Sure, there are plenty of historical romances out there, but what makes this one special is the setting: the Hittite Empire in ancient Anatolia. The Hittites were one of the most powerful and advanced civilizations of their time, thousands of years B.C., yet they don’t get much spotlight outside of archaeology circles. What I find incredible is how deeply the author researched Hittite culture, bringing to life their way of living with stunning detail. Many of the major plot events are based on actual historical moments, which makes the story feel really authentic - even though there are ofc some supernatural aspects to it. If you do decide to give it a try, please let me know! I’d love to hear someone else’s take on it-I’m dying for someone to talk to about it!
can i say a sad thing, when i finish an anime, i feel empty for weeks i try to cover it up by watching another anime but after i do, i just feel more empty and in the end i forget it and its just so sad. I imagine heaven would be a place where everything wrong is right and this includes it. :(
Just finished watching bunny girl senpai and im feeling like im at my lowest low ever. Watching anime is a great and beautiful way to escape from reality, but the consequences are heavy.
Just binge watched the same show in one sitting like 4 days ago and I've been craving to find another anime like bunny girl senpai. I didn't realized I was feeling empty until I stumbled upon this video
Same thing happened to me when I finished it last year! Now, there is the movie sequel from 2019, so it's not actually over yet! And I just found out today some theaters showed a double feature of 2 more movies, so the story is still going. We don't have to be sad about it...yet lol
Just finished "This Art Club Has A Problem", just randomly clicked on it and I got attachted to it. It's a very underrated and short anime. Finished all episodes in 2 days and I feel empty inside after I finish. I felt sad.. that I can't experience what the characters did after the ending, I miss their smiles, cries, voices and happiness. I felt sad.. and it's more sad that the characters I liked were never real in the beginning.
Just finished Tokyo ravens and got that post anime depression hard😮💨 but for real tho I’ve been reading this webtoon called down to earth and the main I connect to it so much and basically the main character hasn’t gotten over his ex after almost 2 years now that’s not the whole main theme or anything but basically I got somewhat of the same thing going 😅 and reading that manga actually feels like it helps me get through it like how he does and it makes me feel less lame and pathetic for still missing a girl after so long 😮💨 But yeah that’s my experience ✌️🖤
5 days ago, it was around 2 am. I was bored and suddenly a black clover ad popped up. I decided to try it out and omg i an happy i did. Throughout the next days, i became more interested i had been than in any other anime. I was hooked, and was just so so joyful whenever i watched it. It was like no other, i watched it hours and hours a day without getting bored. Then, it came to an end. I know there is manga and i know that there is a chance it may continue later, but i dont think ill ever get that same squealing joy back. Its been around 5 hours since i finished it and i just dont know what to do, i want more. I tried turning on other things like the new one piece episode but it didnt hit the same. There was something special about that and its now my favorite anime. I will remember it forever even if i somehow finished it in 5 days.
It’s definitely an escape. And it sure feels like I’m scrambling to find something new to fill it with. It sucks because you wish you could run away to a place that you might be accepted and be loved. When you live your life alone in your own head with no friends or even family at times you do anything to try and find some glimpse of relief. I just feel like it’s been getting harder to find any. I think animes portray what you wish your life could be like with everyone helping everyone with their problems. I’m sorry nobody really gonna read this long ass thing but if you do thanks! It just sucks being alone but it’s not alone like missing being in a relationship. It’s just like I have no one 0 zilch. But I’m there for anyone and everyone that I can. I give all of my friends 100% of my effort when they’re having a hard time. But I’m always the adhd kid that’s never sad. It just hurts to be extroverted with no friends that’s all folks thanks for coming to my Ted talk
I felt the exact same way. I was SO isolated in my highschool years. My highschool had just 6 people and I always felt like I put so much effort and energy into making things fun and being everyones friend and no one was able to give me the close connection that I so wanted. I was sooo lonely. I watched anime and I cried watching other peoples sincere relationships be so perfect and so happy and so helpful to each other. I longed so badly for such relationships. I even created imaginary friends to try to fill the void. But life moves on and life changes. The second I was finished highschool, I left, I went over seas. Im not lonely anymore, because of that, I have no desire to watch anime lol. But I still remember the pain so vividly and keep coming back to see if there is something I can do to heal it. Thanks for coming to my ted talk as well.
Let's become friends man recently watched steins Gate and seriously I am crying inside alone my soul longs for a friend with whom I can spend time..... True treasures are friends which are not got by birth
I just finished the Fruits Basket series... I first watched it when I was in the 3rd grade and when I heard there would be a remake I put it off for a long time. Now I'm turning 25 and for that last 3 days 😅 I've been binging the series and movie. And I realized that I've been putting off is because the issues the characters go through are so real in my life. But at the same time Fruits Basket (Tohru specifically), practically raised me. It was like watching all my ideals, morals, and mannerisms manifest itself. Nostalgia is great for reminiscing, but it's also heartbreaking and scary. Idk why but seeing my favorite anime charactes as old frail grandparents symbolizes that their journey is almost over. And that is what I'm feeling right now. It's like I want to say "thank you" and "goodbye" all at the same time. My chest really does feel empty, but at the same I feel this immense sense of gratitude. I think any form of media that explores heavy topics is profound and ground breaking, but anime/animation is whole different beast. Maybe it's because we wish to see the world as beautiful and colorful as them or even escapism. But to all those who love anime, it feels safe. And if that makes me weird, I guess I am 😁!
On point bro. After finishing aot, I went on to kaguya sama love is war and now I am completely destroyed. 2 animes whose ending leaves you a shell of your former past
Terror in resosnace ending really hit different, the twist in the last part of the last episode was a big surprise turning from a happy calm ending into a depressing ending.
I am still emotionally unstable cuz of its ending.. idk how to cope and i am really sad feel so empty inside .. i just want them to alive.. what am i supposed to do
I just finished watching "Horimiya" and it made me feel so depressed but also made me realize that you should always cherish the moments you have with your friends (if you didn't know, I'll be a Junior in high school). I also love how the community shares about their "PADS" and it makes me feel relieved that I'm not alone. After this, I'm going to start spending more time with my friends and family. Thank you all!
Same, I feel empty and depressed, or even unmotivated whenever I finish an anime. I don’t know to be honest. Romance anime series always hits the most, I can really relate to it. Once the series end, I’ll never be able to watch them progress and improve. It’s like a movie with an ending. Every anime is going to have an ending and it makes me empty. I also have an anime list of romances and other genres, so I can come back to them.
I also finished HoriMiya, and I felt so empty after finishing it. But this just doesn't happen with this specific anime, it also happens to me with every other anime, I get the feeling loneliness, sadness and emptiness. It reminded me that, someone or something, will eventually leave or disappear, and that you should cherish every moment before that happens so. I rarely express my emotions, but commenting this made me feel a little relieved and safe.
dude I've been feeling this "emptiness" since I watched "your name" 4 days ago and I find this video very therapeutic thank you so much for the video and keep going!
@@shasmex yesterday i completed Cyberpunk Edgerunners and damn it was tearjerking anime! not much as 'Your name' or "weathering with you" but its hit differently i still feel sad about it!
Bro I am going with the same problem I finished Your name 4 days ago and now I feel emptiness in my life... I can't think of anything but only them like what happened to them after the ending I cried so hard after finishing it.... I can't even focus on studies please tell how you overcome this..??
Such an underated video. Finished assassination classroom and I haven't felt this kind of depression for a while. You wouldn't think that such a show would impact you this much. I remember watching half of the show a few years ago and stopping because I thought it was bad. Man was in wrong. So recently I decided to give it a try again. And this time I finished it and realized how incredible it really was. Guess it shows how I've grown a person because now that I've watched it again, I can appreciate all the things it had that I didn't before. Anyways I love that show and it will always have a special place in my heart. Keep up the videos!
Me too brother I just finished assassination classroom and it was such a wholesome show which is the main reason why it had such a deep connection with my heart. All the characters felt so relatable and experienced life like everyone does. But when the sad parts kicked in, it just made a hole in my heart. I've watched big animes like Naruto and AOT, and their storyline was unique & amazing but after watching A.C. I realized that even if the storyline isn't that complicated and even if there are a limited number of characters in the show, it attaches to your memories and emotions. Now that it's finished, I just wish I was a part of class 3-E with Koro Sensei. Maybe I'll rewatch the show after I'm old....
This happens mainly in slice of life and romance genre since we can really relate to it. It just hits really hard when u realise that cannot watch them progress, having fun in their life ....
here after finishing aot which I tried my best to delay yet I watched it and now just can't get over them. I am just stuck watching theories and stuff related to the ending and going through the debates on each controversy and most importantly getting onto those ice-breakers which many missed to notice. Hope, I'll start studying now...
I just finished Kaguya-sama and god i feel empty . This show was such a trip... I first thought "meh" and after have finished the anime and the manga, i can say Kaguya-sama is one of the best work of fiction ive seen. Sometimes it hurts and it contibutes to make me feel really empty, but the moments that hits the most is when all these amazing characters have a good time together. We are living the story with them, are nostalgic with them about the funny moments that happened and can feel what they feel. I think Kaguya-sama Love is war is really a masterpiece that goes well beyond just a comedic romcom anime. I dont even know why this show impacted me that much. Not like Cyberpunk Edgerunners (which has hit alot too) , because the event that make you feel that empty is obvious. To this date I just dont know how Kaguya sama impacted me, but I know it did pretty hard. If you read that, im sorry for the bad english :(
Bro this is the reason I watched this video, Today I finished it and ever since than my chest feels heavy. Every time I think about the panel where they said "bye shuchin" it literally brings tears to my eyes.
bruh! same!! i finished the anime + manga! (even skim thru manga, so i will watch the anime adapt later) but now i have a void inside! u people are ahead i life, i request a reply
you are right... I almost finished reading the manga before a few days but stopped so as to not relive the emptiness but boy.. then i started and literally completed Hunter X Hunter after a month and the emptiness is back again..
Finshed two rom com animes for the past week. Though the first one "Oresuki" was good to the point I wish there were fan translations for the LN so I could read it more, finishing the second one "OreGairu" hit just like how my other really good series were. I encountered OreGairu before but dropped even when I didn't finish watching episode 1 it's cause it didn't fit my groove back then. After seeing it appear in tons different anime compilations, I decided to give it a go again. And after 3 seasons and 2 ova's, damn it was so good. I don't know why I feel so attached to them despite me not having encountered the exact same situations those three but maybe its those small things that I saw myself in the story. But you are right, Anime is a form where people consume to escape the harsh reality only to once face again that reality when a fantasy has ended. Oregairu wasn't the only anime or light novel/manga series that made me feel like this. I guess IMO, those series that make me feel this way are those who had complete adaptations of their source material since its that when I realise that there is no more leeway for a continuation to happen.
@@sramos1336 still in it but getting better bit by bit. Probably could take a week or more. Extra pressure from reviewing of my final exams in college isn't helping.
Just finished watching Quintessential Quintuplets in the cinemas. Been a fan since the start and to see the anime series is done is giving me happiness but depression as well. Welp time to deal with PADS again by searching fan made endings and finfics.
I haven't really watched anime but experienced this a lot with animation in general. A long time ago it took me months to recover from "How to Train Your Dragon" for some reason. There were a few others and now I'm going through it with "Avatar: The Last Airbender". I didn't really know what it was and only recently discovered PADS. Your video described everything I was feeling perfectly. I hoped it would get better with growing up but nope.
I just finished Solo Leveling an hour ago and I’ve gone and cried. I wished for a world like this so much because it was just so cool. I looked at the side stories and saw the world built in it and how it’s a parallel to the world I want to have. That’s why I’m experiencing my own Post Anime Depression.
I tend to feel like this too when a character leaves the anime, even is its temporary, it still hurts. For example when Eris left in jobless reincarnation, that hurt..😢
I think you hit the nail on the head. It's a realization that you don't have any close connections like what they show in the story. The people around us are so... disappointing.
so i just finished my first anime ever (m/31)and i was struck with this deep emptiness that i couldn’t really describe. i’d felt something similar after watching certain films with heavier subject matter, but this feeling was different and MUCH more acute id never really given anime a chance, but something was calling me to watch Serial Experiments Lain after seeing a reel by bôa talking about how their song duvet had a resurgence in popularity thanks to this anime i couldn’t put it down, and finished all episodes in one day. when it was done, i had this panging in my chest - like something inside me had just been altered forever & there was no undoing it. i thought at first it was due to the nature of the show (and although i know that has to play SOME role) but i found myself violently searching for ANYTHING similar to Lain.. like i was trying to fill this hole that just got discovered and torn open. and this struck me in a kinda profound way, especially since anime was never something i had engaged with or thought could engage me in such a way. i guess all of this is to say thank you for making the video and helping this newcomer work through this unfamiliar feeling. i appreciate it & glad to know im not the only one who got affected in this way after watching an anime that seemed to hold me so closely
I just finished SAO and honestly I feel exactly this way and I didnt know why hence googling why and finding your video! You definitely hit it on the nail! I only dream for someone knowing something about season 5!? Please someone help me
I know all these characters doesn't exist ,but for some reason they live in my heart.. so when it ends it feels like our journey comes to an end and we hope we can continue our journey together but we can't..
I guess the reason i feel super empty is simply because the characters i came to like and love, i won't ever see them again. In a way, they are more real than even some real people to me because even in real life there are people that feel fake or not real, while these "characters" not only show emotion, but also make *me* feel things. It's like friends thar i'll never be able to see again.😢
I had just finished “Tomo-Chan is a Girl” and after finishing it I definitely felt a hit of emptiness and loneliness due to being such opposite of the main character in some ways. He’s athletic I’m not, he’s strong I’m not, he found his love I have not. Now all I want to do is get better and stronger since that’s all I can do for now. Anime truly is something else it’s amazing and beautiful the way I get sucked in to the story and love for the characters.
i just finished fruits basket and i relate to tohru sm and i feel like i really connect to her and i just love the beautiful plot and relationships and everything !! but , i am so upset i finished it when i can close to the last episode i hesitated sm if i should watch it because i really dreaded finishing it :(
I just finished watching toradora and man it hurts as hard as when I finished ddlc and God the music in toradora is very similar to ddlc which made me even more sad, I love it and hate it having this feeling.
Just finished full metal alchemist brotherhood.. I feel so empty realising that I will no more be able to continue the journey with ed and al.. When I watch a good anime I start imagining myself as a real part of the story, struggling and laughing with the characters together.. So when an anime like this ends I feel so lonely..
This is a seriously good video :) I was looking for something like this because i finished Cyberpunk Edgerunners today and i know its not the exact same thing as described in the video. Because its not just that iam sad the anime has ended but that the Ending itself hit more then i expected. I knew that it wouldnt be a happy ending from friends who watched it before me and I was really critical of the anime in generell when i started watching, but from episode to episode i just felt how i was getting more and more involved. In the End it was so painful to see it all play out and then for it all just to be over. Definitely stared at a blank screen after the outro for some time. This video actually made me cheer up tho, thanks alot :)
I can relate to you and many others how I feel like I’m experiencing my own life, when I really want my life to go almost the exact same way as the main characters in the shows. Being emotionally attached to the characters in the show is truly a blessing, regardless if they’re real or fictional; it just feels amazing in a way. I also don’t rlly like anime at a younger age & yet now, being into it for just over a year now, I really wish that I was into it when I was young, being one of those people in the entire anime community. I also feel like I am dealing with Post Anime Depression, and yeah, I’m alright, although it keeps coming back to me, but thank you for this video 🥲❤️🩹🙌🏻
The issue I realised while reading dandadan is that I lost time and love. I never experienced teen love/romance I lost years just being completely closed off , off being too scared. This is what makes me sad.
Black clover hit me different, it was the most joy an anime has ever causes me. I got hooked and watched the whole thing in 5 days. I cant stop thinking about it, it was truly a masterpiece. I tried curing it by reading the manga and watching other animes but it just didnt feel the same. Im just praying they start continuing it, and soon
just finished comet lucifer, that ending made me cry like ive never cried over an anime before. and after i found out that the anime was finished and next season was cancelled my hope of a better ending and maybe a twist or something got crushed and i fell into this deep sadness and void kinda state with zero motivation to do anything. I mean i still am kinda in it. comet lucifer will always hold a special place in my heart
It’s the movies. It’s the goddamn movies that wrecked me, like your name, Silent voice, I want to eat your pancreas etc (you used footage from them for the video so I guess I’m not the only one). Those are the ones you wake up the next day and you’re depressed, or even sick, even if there’s a happy ending and I can’t comprehend it
@@vikramo6994 just feels unjust. She was an amazing girl who taught the MC how to live and open up more. He learned so much for her and she was murdered. No conclusive dying in his arms or anything, just seeing a news report on the TV on the day he was going to confess to her. Horrendous feeling, especially when he turned the last page of “living with dying” and it was blank after such a happy entry about her finally getting out. This movie will stay with me forever.
@TheFirefly_Official tbh Sakura reminded me of those who I look up to and who love me, (no I do not have a gf yet lol) and her death reminded me of how valuable all these people are.
Currently watching an Anime right now and I am just preparing to feel that feeling once I finish it, I already know it is going to be painful, but hopefully I will move on like what Arctic said I should do.
I finished watching "High school dxd" 6 hours ago And I was connected to some characters and felt that pleasure when Issei finally confessed his feelings to rias, In other words I wanted to be in their world, Even if you connect it with my guilty pleasure or something, But I really felt emptiness and couldn't move on after finishing whole 4 seasons, I couldn't wait for 5 season which is to be released in 2024.... Yeah! It helped me to improve my self, And took me from loneliness to a wholesome life but till It(anime) didn't ended. I haven't written any comment this big till now. But, feelings........ Can't be expressed. Still this video made me finally realise and move on from that anime, I realised my responsibility in my real life, I was so depressed and I didn't even knew why but I know finally! Thanks to the creator of this video, I know that my favourite anime(High school dxd) Hasn't ended, Has it's 5 season upcoming in the next 4-5 months but You still made my night bro... Love from India❤
Honestly around 2 years ago I finished watching High School DxD, and even though it's an echi anime, the plot of it and the romance of it made me feel so empty that i went into depression for a 1-2 months, rewatching it many times afterwards, but at one point forgot about it. Lately i've been rewatching it and the same kind of feeling is hitting me, where i'm close to the end and the feeling of emptiness is closing in. Now that i'm older, i've it more stressing in school, and i'm worried that it'd affect not only my school life but daily life overall, I really don't know what to do about this, I just feel like I don't want it to end this fast.
i started watching anime since the quarantine and i have seen alot of them, but the anime that hooked me with the whole anime overall is TQQ and last day i went to see the movie and it is perfect but why do i feel hallow inside my chest and rather than happy, i feel empty even tho i enjoy it very much but i cant bring myself after leaving the cinema, i guess maybe i realize that my favorite anime has finally ended.....ended forever.
I felt the same way about your name, other shows have left me somewhat sad but this was the first anime I cried in and rewatched multiple times. I don't know why, but Shinkai's other films didn't hit me the same way.
i still remember, over a year ago, when i first watched code geass. knowing that it’s the end of lelouchs story and i won’t see any more of these characters gave me a feeling i’ve never felt before. it still lingers on to this day. i’ve had it happen with other anime but none of them have given me this feeling stronger than code geass.
I'm currently watching 'Black Clover', and so far, I've come across many things I can relate to in my own life. The way Asta, one of the main characters, never gives up in the series makes me want to never give up as well. Another example is the way he trains his body, which is incredibly intense. This has made me realize that I need to get back to working out and improving my diet.
I recently felt that way after i finished my gacha animated series, even though i have intended sequels and other fictional works planned, i still have that feeling
I get this every now and then from many anime. However I think from all of the post-anime depression I've experienced, I wont be ready for the day One Piece ends.
Romance and slice of life anime really does hit hard for me. It could be either tipical romance like horimiya and shikimori-san to deeper anime series like erased. I still get goosebumps and this sad feeling no matter how many times after watching any of the endings again.
nah "I Want to Eat Your Pancreas" hit me sooo hard when I watched it, I was depressed for like a whole week and a half, but oddly I actually found myself wanting to go outside and enjoy nature more than anime or videogames during that week and a half, and I was much more determined and focused when I did work, to think a movie was able to make me actually change my life so much and make me follow "live everyday like its your last" is crazy and that's why I think anime/manga is the best way to present an idea/story cuz it doesn't feel like a massive task like reading a 500 page book and the only thing that limits what you can present is your imagination.
man i've just watch your name movies, and I feel voidness and sad in my life. I didn't know its so weird and its so emotionally attach. previously i've never feel like this before
Finishing a romance anime Quintessential quintuplets season 1 and 2. Quintessential quintuplets movie which is the final of the story which is not in any thing Which makes me feel depressed 😔
I'm feeling literally like this rn after watching that anime, even though it has a happy ending, I still feel depressed, and I can't moved on when I found out that they're living in the different timeline, and that the girl was dead all this time 3 years ago 😢
I finished Your name nearly 3 years ago and everytime i watch something about it makes me reminded of the empty feeling of finishing the movie everytime.
I suggest you guys two best romance anime..... 1. More than a married couple, but not lovers 2. Oregairu ...these are must watch....it was really super.... I want more like these anime ... you can suggest me please 🥺
My Dress-Up Darling. Finished it 5 days ago, still feel down. This my first romantic anime. The anime made me feel happy. Even though I am 30 years older than him I identify with Gojou and wish I could meet a woman like Marin. But I think another part is Season 2 is still an unknown. If it does come it could years from now. I am new to anime so the fact that after a first season there may not be another is an adjustment for me. Nothing to do but wait and hope. At least I can read the translated manga as an alternative as they are released.
every time I finish an anime I feel empty and lonely I just finish your name and it was so sad at thee end :( like it also happened with every other anime like a silent voice and call of the night 🥺 I feel so voided and empty and I just want what happened in the movie to me does anybody else feel that way?
i just finished two romance anime’s (The angel next door spoils me rotten and More than a married couple but not dating) and i too feel empty, i feel so conflicted finishing romance and slice of life anime’s especially because as he mentioned in the video, those two genres are usually easier to relate to and to imagine yourself in. It makes me want to just lay in bed and stare at my ceiling. i guess this is the affect anime has on me though, one second i’m totally escaped from my reality but the second the anime ends i just feel empty
Oh also I get this feeling when I remember this manga I read in fifth grade called amulet as if I’m remembering and reminiscing on a past life or times with like someone who was close to me and is now dead but yeah this is crazy how something someone thought of and wrote out would have so much effect on people
I watched erased, angels of death, violet evergarden, and a silent voice. I just wanted to see what happens after the ending of each anime. I especially liked violet evergarden since I was basically spectating her entire character development.
I just finished reading 'sleeping dead' a few hours ago and I can't even listen to any song because they remind me of it and it makes me sad, my heart is in pain
I recently started feeling this after watching mushoku tensei and deeply relating to rudy, especially with how season 1 ended it really hit me and after watching all of season 2 that is out so far it helped a bit but i still feel that hole like nothing before
This literaly happend to me after every anime I watch. I finish watching horimiya couple hours ago and then I start exploring about this fealing I get after watching every anime.
@@krmi45x ikr, it's my first time I watched anime not the kid ones I use to watch like bayblade, pokimane not those but I watched normal anime for grown ups as I was being forced by my anime friend I didn't know this would happen to me even as a 17 ☠️
mushoku tensei ln left me flabbergasted it was amazing but now i dont feel like reading or watching any other series and i just wanna reread the ln and prolly the manga too
Today i finished watching "Prison School" after the show ended i felt sad because i know it wouldn't have a season 2 which means that the series has fully ended i could try reading the manga but i know the ending gonna be bad i feel sad and empty this always happens when i finish an anime that i truly liked.
I kinda just need closure so imma comment. I know its not an anime and kinda childish but i had the nostalgic urge to watch a show i watched in my childhood. So i watched adventure time and now that im older, i can really say that it was a great show and im truly sad that it ended
I got PADS a few years ago when I watched all the episodes of Wataten and, now, I think I have it from finishing Gushing Over Magical Girls. Utena might have magic powers. But she still seems like a real person. She has low confidence in the beginning but, as the show progresses, she makes friends and gains the ability to talk to people. I found myself rooting for her as if she was real.
I just finished your name, mind if ironic that the visuals of this video is your name, regardless this anime broke me the fact that they found a way to keep loving each other regardless of the situation they are in, mitsuha and taki changed their fate, their minds may have forgotten but their hearts didn't.
I just finished the sixth season of bnha, and knowing that the seventh season is coming soon is the only thing that makes me feel a little better. The backstories of the characters, especially Touya, had a big impact on me and my pov of the anime.
These deep loneliness and void holes also trigger emotional breakouts After finishing attack on titan I cried so hard. There is no way ima get over it😭
For me, to avoid this problem I always plan the next anime before watching any anime. So that i wont have that time for this syndrome. But lately I've been scared from running out of romance animes and feel one BIG emptiness for a long time
this is the reason why i simply try hard enough to on and off watch/read anime/movies itll drain me emotionally and physically been like 1 year that i actually watched an anime movie and here we go again im cucked.
The anime that struck me down, once it ended was Higehiro, in fact I just finished it an hour ago, as of now Im just sitting down my chair, clueless, I wanna die
Ive had this after the first season of Oregairu. Other than not caring and openly valiong love for grades I am so like Hačiman and so wish someone had helped me like he was helped.
I can relate to this, recently i finished watching "Komi can't communicate" and i just cant get over how the story, characters and character development was so beautiful. And i am kinda jelous of the relation between Komi and Tadano. Every episode gave me this feeling of good in me, but after the final episode i broke in tears not becouse of the ending but i realised that this anime will never be real or i will never have a relation just like between Komi and Tadano.
I just finished watching MHA and if you guys watched it, you know that it ended in a cliffhanger and the next season is coming in april 2024... It was such a beautiful anime, taught me so many things. Especially how bakugo (one of the characters) apolagized to Izuku. I miss it so much and whenever i go back to my computor to figure out what to watch next, i end up crying. i wish someone could erease my memory so i can rewatch it. Im literally going through a heartbreaking rollercoaster. Such a nice anime. oh, and here the tears come out, while im wring this. Thanks for listening to my ranting lmao. bye
When the anime is super long and great, it just feels like you grow with them everyday you watch one of the episode. So when you spent time so much time watching the characters grow and improve, it feels like you are apart of their journey, thus growing more attached to it. However when the day finally comes, the realisation that the anime is coming to an end soon hits you, you feel empty and lonely. It feels like a part of you is gonna leave you.
Honesty can relate
Naruto
True fr bruh🙂
Yup, happened with me with hunter x hunter
@@adararelgnel2695 Yes with HXH and also YYH & Gintama as well for me.🥲
It honestly feels like leaving your best friend that you’ve known since childhood,
Oh yeah definitely. That sort of connection that you have to eventually break off just makes your chest feel so heavy.
Agree
For me it's because it opens and fills a void in my heart, but when I finish it, it becomes empty again. (But this low-key feels like the people who say "it's more than just a cartoon, it's life"."
because it is life. it will forever be engraved in my head. in my heart.
ok ok, getting a little too emotional here😅
I'm currently going to the worst case of Post Anime Depression I ever experienced and it just consumes me...
Funnily enough, it's a manga that I finished reading for the first time over 10 years ago. The name of the manga is "Anatolia Story" (or "Red River" in some countries) and the physical paper volumes have sat untouched on my bookshelf for several years after I first read through them. For some reason, I recently decided to reread the manga. I still had a vague memory of the story and characters, but much of it was just a blur.
I never expected that this manga, years after its initial purchase, could shatter me so emotionally. I was probably too young at the time (I was about 14 when the manga was completed) to really understand the story and characters, and to be fully emotionally invested in this world.
Reading the last chapter really caused me physical heartache and by the time I reached the last page, tears were rolling down my cheeks. It was as if I had found old familiar friends and a familiar world and lost them just as quickly. I spent endless hours looking for more material on this manga (funnily enough, it was made into a musical in Japan about three years ago), but the emptiness inside me is still painfully present. Knowing that these characters never really existed in this form almost tears my heart out at times.
Although I am immensely grateful to my 10 year old self for originally discovering the manga quite by accident in a bookstore, I have also thought that I could have avoided this pain simply by never touching the volumes again.
In any case, I sincerely hope that these feelings will soon pass and I can look back on this fantastic story with positive feelings.
Ahh I relate to this a lot. I just finished a manhwa (touch to unlock) and im now completely shattered. Have you gotten over it? You have right? How do you feel about the series now looking back? Atm I too wish that I had never read touch to unlock and wish that this pain passes soon.
@@ujjwalrao6832 I’d like to say I’ve overcome the worst of my post-anime depression, but let’s be real-the manga is still living rent-free in my head. At this point, I probably think about it and its characters at least once a day.
The story’s ancient Anatolian setting in the Hittite Empire sparked a whole new obsession, and soon I found myself down endless rabbit holes of documentaries and articles about this long-lost civilization. Surprisingly, this helped soothe my post-anime depression a bit, but it also introduced a different kind of melancholy. I couldn’t shake this haunting thought: how could so little remain of such a grand culture? It’s strange and sad to realize that billions of people lived, loved, and fought in a world that’s all but vanished, leaving behind only fragments and ruins.
So, am I the poster child for moving on from post-anime blues? Probably not. I tend to latch onto things that move me this deeply, and that can turn into long-lasting obsessions. But here’s the good news: while I still think about the manga daily, the sense of loss and grief that hit me like a truck when it ended has gradually faded.
@@xPoemi glad to hear that your grief has subsided and youve piqued my interest as well. I might have to check this series out but I'll wait for a while. Dont want post anime depression again so soon.
@@ujjwalrao6832 Oh, I’d be absolutely thrilled if my comment inspires someone to pick up this manga! Especially since I don’t really have anyone to discuss it with-I’m out here fangirling solo!
I’m not sure what kind of stories you usually enjoy, but this one’s a romance set against a fascinating historical backdrop. Sure, there are plenty of historical romances out there, but what makes this one special is the setting: the Hittite Empire in ancient Anatolia. The Hittites were one of the most powerful and advanced civilizations of their time, thousands of years B.C., yet they don’t get much spotlight outside of archaeology circles.
What I find incredible is how deeply the author researched Hittite culture, bringing to life their way of living with stunning detail. Many of the major plot events are based on actual historical moments, which makes the story feel really authentic - even though there are ofc some supernatural aspects to it.
If you do decide to give it a try, please let me know! I’d love to hear someone else’s take on it-I’m dying for someone to talk to about it!
can i say a sad thing, when i finish an anime, i feel empty for weeks i try to cover it up by watching another anime but after i do, i just feel more empty and in the end i forget it and its just so sad. I imagine heaven would be a place where everything wrong is right and this includes it. :(
Just finished watching bunny girl senpai and im feeling like im at my lowest low ever. Watching anime is a great and beautiful way to escape from reality, but the consequences are heavy.
Just binge watched the same show in one sitting like 4 days ago and I've been craving to find another anime like bunny girl senpai. I didn't realized I was feeling empty until I stumbled upon this video
@@Wall-u9h I know I am a bit late but you should try Kokoro Connect... Its pretty same if you are looking for similar anime... Good day ❤
Same here but for bunny girl sempai, darling I the frankx, and nisekoi
Same thing happened to me when I finished it last year! Now, there is the movie sequel from 2019, so it's not actually over yet! And I just found out today some theaters showed a double feature of 2 more movies, so the story is still going. We don't have to be sad about it...yet lol
I’m here after watching horimiya and it’s made me realise what real life looks like but also left me extremely depressed after it was done…..
Just finished "This Art Club Has A Problem", just randomly clicked on it and I got attachted to it. It's a very underrated and short anime. Finished all episodes in 2 days and I feel empty inside after I finish. I felt sad.. that I can't experience what the characters did after the ending, I miss their smiles, cries, voices and happiness. I felt sad.. and it's more sad that the characters I liked were never real in the beginning.
Just finished Tokyo ravens and got that post anime depression hard😮💨 but for real tho I’ve been reading this webtoon called down to earth and the main I connect to it so much and basically the main character hasn’t gotten over his ex after almost 2 years now that’s not the whole main theme or anything but basically I got somewhat of the same thing going 😅 and reading that manga actually feels like it helps me get through it like how he does and it makes me feel less lame and pathetic for still missing a girl after so long 😮💨
But yeah that’s my experience ✌️🖤
5 days ago, it was around 2 am. I was bored and suddenly a black clover ad popped up. I decided to try it out and omg i an happy i did. Throughout the next days, i became more interested i had been than in any other anime. I was hooked, and was just so so joyful whenever i watched it. It was like no other, i watched it hours and hours a day without getting bored. Then, it came to an end. I know there is manga and i know that there is a chance it may continue later, but i dont think ill ever get that same squealing joy back. Its been around 5 hours since i finished it and i just dont know what to do, i want more. I tried turning on other things like the new one piece episode but it didnt hit the same. There was something special about that and its now my favorite anime. I will remember it forever even if i somehow finished it in 5 days.
It’s definitely an escape. And it sure feels like I’m scrambling to find something new to fill it with. It sucks because you wish you could run away to a place that you might be accepted and be loved. When you live your life alone in your own head with no friends or even family at times you do anything to try and find some glimpse of relief. I just feel like it’s been getting harder to find any. I think animes portray what you wish your life could be like with everyone helping everyone with their problems. I’m sorry nobody really gonna read this long ass thing but if you do thanks! It just sucks being alone but it’s not alone like missing being in a relationship. It’s just like I have no one 0 zilch. But I’m there for anyone and everyone that I can. I give all of my friends 100% of my effort when they’re having a hard time. But I’m always the adhd kid that’s never sad. It just hurts to be extroverted with no friends that’s all folks thanks for coming to my Ted talk
I felt the exact same way. I was SO isolated in my highschool years. My highschool had just 6 people and I always felt like I put so much effort and energy into making things fun and being everyones friend and no one was able to give me the close connection that I so wanted. I was sooo lonely. I watched anime and I cried watching other peoples sincere relationships be so perfect and so happy and so helpful to each other. I longed so badly for such relationships. I even created imaginary friends to try to fill the void. But life moves on and life changes. The second I was finished highschool, I left, I went over seas. Im not lonely anymore, because of that, I have no desire to watch anime lol. But I still remember the pain so vividly and keep coming back to see if there is something I can do to heal it. Thanks for coming to my ted talk as well.
Let's become friends man recently watched steins Gate and seriously I am crying inside alone my soul longs for a friend with whom I can spend time.....
True treasures are friends which are not got by birth
@@adararelgnel2695Where did you move? All Anime makes me want to do is to move to Japan 😂
I just finished the Fruits Basket series... I first watched it when I was in the 3rd grade and when I heard there would be a remake I put it off for a long time. Now I'm turning 25 and for that last 3 days 😅 I've been binging the series and movie. And I realized that I've been putting off is because the issues the characters go through are so real in my life. But at the same time Fruits Basket (Tohru specifically), practically raised me. It was like watching all my ideals, morals, and mannerisms manifest itself. Nostalgia is great for reminiscing, but it's also heartbreaking and scary. Idk why but seeing my favorite anime charactes as old frail grandparents symbolizes that their journey is almost over. And that is what I'm feeling right now. It's like I want to say "thank you" and "goodbye" all at the same time. My chest really does feel empty, but at the same I feel this immense sense of gratitude. I think any form of media that explores heavy topics is profound and ground breaking, but anime/animation is whole different beast. Maybe it's because we wish to see the world as beautiful and colorful as them or even escapism. But to all those who love anime, it feels safe. And if that makes me weird, I guess I am 😁!
Here after finishing Aot... Literally the best anime to exist and it will always hold a special spot in my heart ❤️
🦋🦋
same here bud :(
I can't agree more :)
On point bro. After finishing aot, I went on to kaguya sama love is war and now I am completely destroyed. 2 animes whose ending leaves you a shell of your former past
Here after finishing Darling in the Franxx im crying even after 10 hours
Terror in resosnace ending really hit different, the twist in the last part of the last episode was a big surprise turning from a happy calm ending into a depressing ending.
I am still emotionally unstable cuz of its ending.. idk how to cope and i am really sad feel so empty inside .. i just want them to alive.. what am i supposed to do
I just finished watching "Horimiya" and it made me feel so depressed but also made me realize that you should always cherish the moments you have with your friends (if you didn't know, I'll be a Junior in high school). I also love how the community shares about their "PADS" and it makes me feel relieved that I'm not alone. After this, I'm going to start spending more time with my friends and family. Thank you all!
Same, I feel empty and depressed, or even unmotivated whenever I finish an anime. I don’t know to be honest. Romance anime series always hits the most, I can really relate to it. Once the series end, I’ll never be able to watch them progress and improve. It’s like a movie with an ending. Every anime is going to have an ending and it makes me empty. I also have an anime list of romances and other genres, so I can come back to them.
I also finished HoriMiya, and I felt so empty after finishing it.
But this just doesn't happen with this specific anime, it also happens to me with every other anime, I get the feeling loneliness, sadness and emptiness.
It reminded me that, someone or something, will eventually leave or disappear, and that you should cherish every moment before that happens so.
I rarely express my emotions, but commenting this made me feel a little relieved and safe.
U feel so empty I just don’t have the heart to wacth the “memories they had in season 2” is this true for you?
It’s not even new content it’s a rewind and the ending gave me pads
dude
I've been feeling this "emptiness" since I watched "your name" 4 days ago and I find this video very therapeutic
thank you so much for the video and keep going!
Thank you! I definitely felt that too after watching Your Name
How do you feel now?
@@shasmex yesterday i completed Cyberpunk Edgerunners and damn it was tearjerking anime! not much as 'Your name' or "weathering with you" but its hit differently i still feel sad about it!
Bro I am going with the same problem I finished Your name 4 days ago and now I feel emptiness in my life... I can't think of anything but only them like what happened to them after the ending I cried so hard after finishing it.... I can't even focus on studies please tell how you overcome this..??
@@injamgaming4611 same bro
Such an underated video. Finished assassination classroom and I haven't felt this kind of depression for a while. You wouldn't think that such a show would impact you this much. I remember watching half of the show a few years ago and stopping because I thought it was bad. Man was in wrong. So recently I decided to give it a try again. And this time I finished it and realized how incredible it really was. Guess it shows how I've grown a person because now that I've watched it again, I can appreciate all the things it had that I didn't before. Anyways I love that show and it will always have a special place in my heart. Keep up the videos!
Me too brother I just finished assassination classroom and it was such a wholesome show which is the main reason why it had such a deep connection with my heart. All the characters felt so relatable and experienced life like everyone does. But when the sad parts kicked in, it just made a hole in my heart. I've watched big animes like Naruto and AOT, and their storyline was unique & amazing but after watching A.C. I realized that even if the storyline isn't that complicated and even if there are a limited number of characters in the show, it attaches to your memories and emotions. Now that it's finished, I just wish I was a part of class 3-E with Koro Sensei. Maybe I'll rewatch the show after I'm old....
This happens mainly in slice of life and romance genre since we can really relate to it. It just hits really hard when u realise that cannot watch them progress, having fun in their life ....
This also happen in comedy anime like saiki k and gintama.
True.
Yea..
Damn bro yes very real i envied fictional characters because I could've had that and he had it
here after finishing aot which I tried my best to delay yet I watched it and now just can't get over them.
I am just stuck watching theories and stuff related to the ending and going through the debates on each controversy and most importantly getting onto those ice-breakers which many missed to notice.
Hope, I'll start studying now...
Same
I just finished Kaguya-sama and god i feel empty . This show was such a trip... I first thought "meh" and after have finished the anime and the manga, i can say Kaguya-sama is one of the best work of fiction ive seen. Sometimes it hurts and it contibutes to make me feel really empty, but the moments that hits the most is when all these amazing characters have a good time together. We are living the story with them, are nostalgic with them about the funny moments that happened and can feel what they feel. I think Kaguya-sama Love is war is really a masterpiece that goes well beyond just a comedic romcom anime. I dont even know why this show impacted me that much. Not like Cyberpunk Edgerunners (which has hit alot too) , because the event that make you feel that empty is obvious. To this date I just dont know how Kaguya sama impacted me, but I know it did pretty hard.
If you read that, im sorry for the bad english :(
Bro this is the reason I watched this video, Today I finished it and ever since than my chest feels heavy. Every time I think about the panel where they said "bye shuchin" it literally brings tears to my eyes.
Same thing with me. I just can’t move on.
bruh! same!! i finished the anime + manga! (even skim thru manga, so i will watch the anime adapt later) but now i have a void inside! u people are ahead i life, i request a reply
same bro@@rony_shahab8742
you are right... I almost finished reading the manga before a few days but stopped so as to not relive the emptiness but boy.. then i started and literally completed Hunter X Hunter after a month and the emptiness is back again..
Finshed two rom com animes for the past week. Though the first one "Oresuki" was good to the point I wish there were fan translations for the LN so I could read it more, finishing the second one "OreGairu" hit just like how my other really good series were. I encountered OreGairu before but dropped even when I didn't finish watching episode 1 it's cause it didn't fit my groove back then. After seeing it appear in tons different anime compilations, I decided to give it a go again. And after 3 seasons and 2 ova's, damn it was so good. I don't know why I feel so attached to them despite me not having encountered the exact same situations those three but maybe its those small things that I saw myself in the story. But you are right, Anime is a form where people consume to escape the harsh reality only to once face again that reality when a fantasy has ended. Oregairu wasn't the only anime or light novel/manga series that made me feel like this. I guess IMO, those series that make me feel this way are those who had complete adaptations of their source material since its that when I realise that there is no more leeway for a continuation to happen.
man you good now ?
@@sramos1336 still in it but getting better bit by bit. Probably could take a week or more. Extra pressure from reviewing of my final exams in college isn't helping.
Just finished watching Quintessential Quintuplets in the cinemas. Been a fan since the start and to see the anime series is done is giving me happiness but depression as well. Welp time to deal with PADS again by searching fan made endings and finfics.
Did you get over it?
Just finished the movie and I can relate
@@NotBlastketchup nah i still got it plus the movie is out online so its gonna be much worse
Nahhhh same 💀💀💀. I feel extremely empty now ....
glad im not the only one to also have PAD because of QQ

I haven't really watched anime but experienced this a lot with animation in general. A long time ago it took me months to recover from "How to Train Your Dragon" for some reason. There were a few others and now I'm going through it with "Avatar: The Last Airbender". I didn't really know what it was and only recently discovered PADS. Your video described everything I was feeling perfectly. I hoped it would get better with growing up but nope.
finishing a romance anime hits diff man, i want to continue spending my days emerged in the anime
I agree
Ride your wave, your name, and words bubble up like soda pop were super hard to get over for me
I just finished Solo Leveling an hour ago and I’ve gone and cried. I wished for a world like this so much because it was just so cool. I looked at the side stories and saw the world built in it and how it’s a parallel to the world I want to have. That’s why I’m experiencing my own Post Anime Depression.

I tend to feel like this too when a character leaves the anime, even is its temporary, it still hurts. For example when Eris left in jobless reincarnation, that hurt..😢
After watching toradora i felt empty when ever I remembered the series or saw it on a anime website or a recommendation I felt empty and heart broken
I feel this way whenever I hear the music 😔 it’s so good but it’s bittersweet.
I love toradora so much bro
I think you hit the nail on the head. It's a realization that you don't have any close connections like what they show in the story. The people around us are so... disappointing.
so i just finished my first anime ever (m/31)and i was struck with this deep emptiness that i couldn’t really describe. i’d felt something similar after watching certain films with heavier subject matter, but this feeling was different and MUCH more acute
id never really given anime a chance, but something was calling me to watch Serial Experiments Lain after seeing a reel by bôa talking about how their song duvet had a resurgence in popularity thanks to this anime
i couldn’t put it down, and finished all episodes in one day. when it was done, i had this panging in my chest - like something inside me had just been altered forever & there was no undoing it. i thought at first it was due to the nature of the show (and although i know that has to play SOME role) but i found myself violently searching for ANYTHING similar to Lain.. like i was trying to fill this hole that just got discovered and torn open. and this struck me in a kinda profound way, especially since anime was never something i had engaged with or thought could engage me in such a way.
i guess all of this is to say thank you for making the video and helping this newcomer work through this unfamiliar feeling. i appreciate it & glad to know im not the only one who got affected in this way after watching an anime that seemed to hold me so closely
Since the first real manga i’ve finished in the last 3 days i won’t ever engage in something like this again. It’s too much this depression
I've finished a lot of school romance series, and it's really getting sad because some anime sometimes end with goodbyes and unclear endings
Your lie in april was one for me, just made me cry...
I just finished SAO and honestly I feel exactly this way and I didnt know why hence googling why and finding your video! You definitely hit it on the nail! I only dream for someone knowing something about season 5!? Please someone help me
When ever i reach the last ep of the anime i just dont even watch the episode and just leave it there so I dont know how things end
lmao sometimes i do the same
I know all these characters doesn't exist ,but for some reason they live in my heart.. so when it ends it feels like our journey comes to an end and we hope we can continue our journey together but we can't..
just watched oregairu all 3 seasons and am fellin this darkness .Really a masterpiece
I guess the reason i feel super empty is simply because the characters i came to like and love, i won't ever see them again. In a way, they are more real than even some real people to me because even in real life there are people that feel fake or not real, while these "characters" not only show emotion, but also make *me* feel things. It's like friends thar i'll never be able to see again.😢
I had just finished “Tomo-Chan is a Girl” and after finishing it I definitely felt a hit of emptiness and loneliness due to being such opposite of the main character in some ways. He’s athletic I’m not, he’s strong I’m not, he found his love I have not. Now all I want to do is get better and stronger since that’s all I can do for now.
Anime truly is something else it’s amazing and beautiful the way I get sucked in to the story and love for the characters.
bro i felt the same too
i just finished fruits basket and i relate to tohru sm and i feel like i really connect to her and i just love the beautiful plot and relationships and everything !! but , i am so upset i finished it when i can close to the last episode i hesitated sm if i should watch it because i really dreaded finishing it :(
Yeah I can really relate the same when I finished some romance anime!
I just finished watching toradora and man it hurts as hard as when I finished ddlc and God the music in toradora is very similar to ddlc which made me even more sad, I love it and hate it having this feeling.
I love toradora
Just finished full metal alchemist brotherhood.. I feel so empty realising that I will no more be able to continue the journey with ed and al.. When I watch a good anime I start imagining myself as a real part of the story, struggling and laughing with the characters together.. So when an anime like this ends I feel so lonely..
This is a seriously good video :)
I was looking for something like this because i finished Cyberpunk Edgerunners today and i know its not the exact same thing as described in the video. Because its not just that iam sad the anime has ended but that the Ending itself hit more then i expected.
I knew that it wouldnt be a happy ending from friends who watched it before me and I was really critical of the anime in generell when i started watching, but from episode to episode i just felt how i was getting more and more involved. In the End it was so painful to see it all play out and then for it all just to be over. Definitely stared at a blank screen after the outro for some time.
This video actually made me cheer up tho, thanks alot :)
No problem, glad i could help
I can relate to you and many others how I feel like I’m experiencing my own life, when I really want my life to go almost the exact same way as the main characters in the shows. Being emotionally attached to the characters in the show is truly a blessing, regardless if they’re real or fictional; it just feels amazing in a way. I also don’t rlly like anime at a younger age & yet now, being into it for just over a year now, I really wish that I was into it when I was young, being one of those people in the entire anime community. I also feel like I am dealing with Post Anime Depression, and yeah, I’m alright, although it keeps coming back to me, but thank you for this video 🥲❤️🩹🙌🏻
The issue I realised while reading dandadan is that I lost time and love. I never experienced teen love/romance I lost years just being completely closed off , off being too scared. This is what makes me sad.
Black clover hit me different, it was the most joy an anime has ever causes me. I got hooked and watched the whole thing in 5 days. I cant stop thinking about it, it was truly a masterpiece. I tried curing it by reading the manga and watching other animes but it just didnt feel the same. Im just praying they start continuing it, and soon
Fr bro i feel the same and it's just sad😥
I would say the same thing.
just finished comet lucifer, that ending made me cry like ive never cried over an anime before.
and after i found out that the anime was finished and next season was cancelled my hope of a better ending and maybe a twist or something got crushed and i fell into this deep sadness and void kinda state with zero motivation to do anything. I mean i still am kinda in it.
comet lucifer will always hold a special place in my heart
Just finished Frieren Beyond Journey’s End season 1 and now I’m struggling to find something else to fill the void.
It’s the movies. It’s the goddamn movies that wrecked me, like your name, Silent voice, I want to eat your pancreas etc (you used footage from them for the video so I guess I’m not the only one). Those are the ones you wake up the next day and you’re depressed, or even sick, even if there’s a happy ending and I can’t comprehend it
Bro same😂 I watched pancreas a few days ago, and still have pads. No other work of fiction ever made me so sad😢
@@vikramo6994 just feels unjust. She was an amazing girl who taught the MC how to live and open up more. He learned so much for her and she was murdered. No conclusive dying in his arms or anything, just seeing a news report on the TV on the day he was going to confess to her. Horrendous feeling, especially when he turned the last page of “living with dying” and it was blank after such a happy entry about her finally getting out. This movie will stay with me forever.
@TheFirefly_Official tbh Sakura reminded me of those who I look up to and who love me, (no I do not have a gf yet lol) and her death reminded me of how valuable all these people are.
Currently watching an Anime right now and I am just preparing to feel that feeling once I finish it, I already know it is going to be painful, but hopefully I will move on like what Arctic said I should do.
I finished watching "High school dxd" 6 hours ago And I was connected to some characters and felt that pleasure when Issei finally confessed his feelings to rias, In other words I wanted to be in their world, Even if you connect it with my guilty pleasure or something, But I really felt emptiness and couldn't move on after finishing whole 4 seasons, I couldn't wait for 5 season which is to be released in 2024....
Yeah! It helped me to improve my self, And took me from loneliness to a wholesome life but till It(anime) didn't ended.
I haven't written any comment this big till now. But, feelings........
Can't be expressed.
Still this video made me finally realise and move on from that anime, I realised my responsibility in my real life, I was so depressed and I didn't even knew why but I know finally!
Thanks to the creator of this video, I know that my favourite anime(High school dxd) Hasn't ended, Has it's 5 season upcoming in the next 4-5 months but You still made my night bro...
Love from India❤
Honestly around 2 years ago I finished watching High School DxD, and even though it's an echi anime, the plot of it and the romance of it made me feel so empty that i went into depression for a 1-2 months, rewatching it many times afterwards, but at one point forgot about it. Lately i've been rewatching it and the same kind of feeling is hitting me, where i'm close to the end and the feeling of emptiness is closing in. Now that i'm older, i've it more stressing in school, and i'm worried that it'd affect not only my school life but daily life overall, I really don't know what to do about this, I just feel like I don't want it to end this fast.
i started watching anime since the quarantine and i have seen alot of them, but the anime that hooked me with the whole anime overall is TQQ and last day i went to see the movie and it is perfect but why do i feel hallow inside my chest and rather than happy, i feel empty even tho i enjoy it very much but i cant bring myself after leaving the cinema, i guess maybe i realize that my favorite anime has finally ended.....ended forever.
bro he didnt marry miku or nino :(
Really sad when shrek ended 😭😭 the best anime 😭😭😭
looool
You make my day man😂😂😂
You still alive right
I felt the same way about your name, other shows have left me somewhat sad but this was the first anime I cried in and rewatched multiple times. I don't know why, but Shinkai's other films didn't hit me the same way.
i still remember, over a year ago, when i first watched code geass. knowing that it’s the end of lelouchs story and i won’t see any more of these characters gave me a feeling i’ve never felt before. it still lingers on to this day. i’ve had it happen with other anime but none of them have given me this feeling stronger than code geass.
I'm currently watching 'Black Clover', and so far, I've come across many things I can relate to in my own life. The way Asta, one of the main characters, never gives up in the series makes me want to never give up as well. Another example is the way he trains his body, which is incredibly intense. This has made me realize that I need to get back to working out and improving my diet.
whoops... i'm 3 years late.
Dame i needed to hear this...
Feeling bad.Helps me out that im not the only one
(sorry for bad english)
I recently felt that way after i finished my gacha animated series, even though i have intended sequels and other fictional works planned, i still have that feeling
I watched both parts of Mushoku Tensei Season 1 today(02 december 2022), and now i have depression because i need to wait till 2023 to the Season 2
Start reading web novel meanwhile, you will be amazed at how the story will develop.
I get this every now and then from many anime. However I think from all of the post-anime depression I've experienced, I wont be ready for the day One Piece ends.
Romance and slice of life anime really does hit hard for me. It could be either tipical romance like horimiya and shikimori-san to deeper anime series like erased. I still get goosebumps and this sad feeling no matter how many times after watching any of the endings again.
Like me quintessential quintuplets
Your Name did that to me too. Not the only anime movie to do it, but definitely one that hit me hard
I just finished Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid and i never thought it would make me reflect on my life.
nah "I Want to Eat Your Pancreas" hit me sooo hard when I watched it, I was depressed for like a whole week and a half, but oddly I actually found myself wanting to go outside and enjoy nature more than anime or videogames during that week and a half, and I was much more determined and focused when I did work, to think a movie was able to make me actually change my life so much and make me follow "live everyday like its your last" is crazy and that's why I think anime/manga is the best way to present an idea/story cuz it doesn't feel like a massive task like reading a 500 page book and the only thing that limits what you can present is your imagination.
man i've just watch your name movies, and I feel voidness and sad in my life. I didn't know its so weird and its so emotionally attach. previously i've never feel like this before
Finishing a romance anime
Quintessential quintuplets season 1 and 2.
Quintessential quintuplets movie which is the final of the story which is not in any thing
Which makes me feel depressed 😔
sadge
Same bro
You never told me you’ve been making these videos! Dude your voice is made for content like these! (still need to finish this video )
yoooooo Josh thanks lol! Yeah I'm really starting to enjoy making these sort of video essay types of videos, although they don't get many views ;|
@@ArcticZombie It’s true that in a commercial business, quantity can matter. But never lose sight of the quality regardless of how much or few.
I felt this stupid feeling for hundredths of times, yet I never ever get used to it and it feels so bad
I'm feeling literally like this rn after watching that anime, even though it has a happy ending, I still feel depressed, and I can't moved on when I found out that they're living in the different timeline, and that the girl was dead all this time 3 years ago 😢
I finished Your name nearly 3 years ago and everytime i watch something about it makes me reminded of the empty feeling of finishing the movie everytime.
I suggest you guys two best romance anime.....
1. More than a married couple, but not lovers
2. Oregairu
...these are must watch....it was really super.... I want more like these anime ... you can suggest me please 🥺
My Dress-Up Darling. Finished it 5 days ago, still feel down. This my first romantic anime. The anime made me feel happy. Even though I am 30 years older than him I identify with Gojou and wish I could meet a woman like Marin.
But I think another part is Season 2 is still an unknown. If it does come it could years from now. I am new to anime so the fact that after a first season there may not be another is an adjustment for me. Nothing to do but wait and hope. At least I can read the translated manga as an alternative as they are released.
Yeah I loved that series as well and feel the same way. Definitely hope a season 2 comes out for it 🙏
Down bad
Bro then plz don't try the quintessential quintuplets I feel so empty 😞
@@AssetCuss Oh really? I haven't watched any. Do you still feel that way today?
every time I finish an anime I feel empty and lonely I just finish your name and it was so sad at thee end :( like it also happened with every other anime like a silent voice and call of the night 🥺 I feel so voided and empty and I just want what happened in the movie to me does anybody else feel that way?
i just finished two romance anime’s (The angel next door spoils me rotten and More than a married couple but not dating) and i too feel empty, i feel so conflicted finishing romance and slice of life anime’s especially because as he mentioned in the video, those two genres are usually easier to relate to and to imagine yourself in. It makes me want to just lay in bed and stare at my ceiling. i guess this is the affect anime has on me though, one second i’m totally escaped from my reality but the second the anime ends i just feel empty
Oh also I get this feeling when I remember this manga I read in fifth grade called amulet as if I’m remembering and reminiscing on a past life or times with like someone who was close to me and is now dead but yeah this is crazy how something someone thought of and wrote out would have so much effect on people
Great job using a silent voice while doing this it’s an absolutely mind boggling anime
I watched erased, angels of death, violet evergarden, and a silent voice. I just wanted to see what happens after the ending of each anime. I especially liked violet evergarden since I was basically spectating her entire character development.
sakurasou no pet na kanojo makes me feel this feeling. I wish I could live in this world... Wait it never existed and that makes me even more sad
😔I feel the same way man
I just finished reading 'sleeping dead' a few hours ago and I can't even listen to any song because they remind me of it and it makes me sad, my heart is in pain
I recently started feeling this after watching mushoku tensei and deeply relating to rudy, especially with how season 1 ended it really hit me and after watching all of season 2 that is out so far it helped a bit but i still feel that hole like nothing before
After finishing Weathering with You i lowkey forgot my name for a second.
Got that feeling after rewatching bunny girl senpai. It’s one of those anime’s where u just wanna re experience it for the first time all over again
This literaly happend to me after every anime I watch. I finish watching horimiya couple hours ago and then I start exploring about this fealing I get after watching every anime.
Lol same but it's different for me as I can't even forgot it after a month
@@retrogamingfrenzy2373 To me sometime I feel it for week-2, but sometime eaven 1 month
@@krmi45x ikr, it's my first time I watched anime not the kid ones I use to watch like bayblade, pokimane not those but I watched normal anime for grown ups as I was being forced by my anime friend I didn't know this would happen to me even as a 17 ☠️
Attack on Titan hit the absolute hardest
Just finished Demon Slayer manga
And now it feels odd ..
Feels like 'Hope we get a second part of this anime ' but there is nothing we can do .😢😢😢😢
mushoku tensei ln left me flabbergasted it was amazing but now i dont feel like reading or watching any other series and i just wanna reread the ln and prolly the manga too
It just hit me with the quintessential quintuplets
Nino is bae
Today i finished watching "Prison School" after the show ended i felt sad because i know it wouldn't have a season 2 which means that the series has fully ended i could try reading the manga but i know the ending gonna be bad i feel sad and empty this always happens when i finish an anime that i truly liked.
I kinda just need closure so imma comment.
I know its not an anime and kinda childish but i had the nostalgic urge to watch a show i watched in my childhood.
So i watched adventure time and now that im older, i can really say that it was a great show and im truly sad that it ended
I got PADS a few years ago when I watched all the episodes of Wataten and, now, I think I have it from finishing Gushing Over Magical Girls.
Utena might have magic powers. But she still seems like a real person. She has low confidence in the beginning but, as the show progresses, she makes friends and gains the ability to talk to people. I found myself rooting for her as if she was real.
I just finished quintessential quintuplets and it left me with that feeling. Oh how I loved that anime.
same thing here , i just finished it and i feel empty now
@@Fear_hg I would tell you to watch the movie, but I watched it and it left me with that same feeling
@@brandonjose8985 ive seen the movie as well and now i decided to read the manga
@@Fear_hg I still got to buy it
Lol
Even though I didn't finish an anime series and am still waiting for the next episode to come. I feel the same sense of emptiness.
I just finished your name, mind if ironic that the visuals of this video is your name, regardless this anime broke me the fact that they found a way to keep loving each other regardless of the situation they are in, mitsuha and taki changed their fate, their minds may have forgotten but their hearts didn't.
I just finished the sixth season of bnha, and knowing that the seventh season is coming soon is the only thing that makes me feel a little better. The backstories of the characters, especially Touya, had a big impact on me and my pov of the anime.
These deep loneliness and void holes also trigger emotional breakouts After finishing attack on titan I cried so hard. There is no way ima get over it😭
For me, to avoid this problem I always plan the next anime before watching any anime. So that i wont have that time for this syndrome. But lately I've been scared from running out of romance animes and feel one BIG emptiness for a long time
this is the reason why i simply try hard enough to on and off watch/read anime/movies itll drain me emotionally and physically been like 1 year that i actually watched an anime movie and here we go again im cucked.
The anime that struck me down, once it ended was Higehiro, in fact I just finished it an hour ago, as of now Im just sitting down my chair, clueless, I wanna die
I watched the whole thing when it was first releasing and I went through the same thing now I’m depressed about relife
Ive had this after the first season of Oregairu. Other than not caring and openly valiong love for grades I am so like Hačiman and so wish someone had helped me like he was helped.
I just watched toradora and I'm feeling the same void that I used to feel before and it feels good.
Same! I might rewatch it in like a week or so but man whenever I hear some of the ost or outro songs i get a bittersweet feeling.
@@luna7137 soo true
I can relate to this, recently i finished watching "Komi can't communicate" and i just cant get over how the story, characters and character development was so beautiful. And i am kinda jelous of the relation between Komi and Tadano. Every episode gave me this feeling of good in me, but after the final episode i broke in tears not becouse of the ending but i realised that this anime will never be real or i will never have a relation just like between Komi and Tadano.
I just finished watching MHA and if you guys watched it, you know that it ended in a cliffhanger and the next season is coming in april 2024...
It was such a beautiful anime, taught me so many things. Especially how bakugo (one of the characters) apolagized to Izuku. I miss it so much and whenever i go back to my computor to figure out what to watch next, i end up crying. i wish someone could erease my memory so i can rewatch it. Im literally going through a heartbreaking rollercoaster. Such a nice anime. oh, and here the tears come out, while im wring this.
Thanks for listening to my ranting lmao.
bye
Bro same I loved mha so much and It was even my first anime
Same feelings too. I wish certain anime could lasts forever.
Fr but have you seen season 7? It’s like 10000x more sad then season 6 so
