Post anime blues?

I don't feel the same with ecchi animes but it saddens me to finish watching a series, knowing the manga or light novels go on, only to realize there isn't another season nor will there be anytime soon. That's the moment when I feel there's like that huge gap. If the series was decently ended I usually don't feel like that, exceptions aside, though I would like the anime world to have gone on a little longer in some rare cases where the anime ended too soon for my opinion and didn't wrap up the stories of the people inside it properly the way they deserved

I won't tell you more than that you probably want to read Rosario to Vampire the manga and also Rosario to Vampire II (the second series). The anime's don't do the manga's justice.

But yes, getting to the end of an anime can be disappointing, especially if it's something like Air Gear, where it was unfinished and discontinued. Avatar: The Last Airbender, in contrast, was complete and wrapped up nicely.

Sounds like you watch a lot of crappy anime to me.

If its a good series or game, it'll leave that "gap", the want/need for more.

Had my fair share of PADS for sure. Just makes me want to find better anime to fill the hole, and then when that's done, repeat the process. It's a never ending cycle lol

I've been watching anime off and on for a long time and not really... until just a few days ago. I finished a series and got really depressed because of the way that it ended. I mean seriously depressed with that awful feeling in my stomach, and I couldn't stop thinking about it. I think I was a little too attached. I'm still upset about it but I think it'll eventually go away...

:S

After I finished Steins; Gate, I had no idea what to do with my life.I was just on space, acting like a robot but thinking the anime all the time.So damn good, I almost cried when I finished it.

And the best part is, PC game of it will come later in March ^^

I feel what you are putting out there. The Ghost in a Shell series left me with a deep blue after it was over. I loved the series so much, I wanted more! Nothing really has filled the void. I could honestly lose myself in that universe. I enjoyed Gilgamesh, however the ending was a bit strange and I wanted it to wrap up a bit better. Elfen Lied was another series that completely ruined me for a few days after it was over. Such and intense story and mysterious ending. I recently watched High School of the Dead and that prompted me to take a break from anime. So many unanswered questions!

Noir and Madlax were both wonderful series. After I finished them, I had serious issues. I think it took me another year to pick up another anime. Nothing compared!

I usually feel more about this way about the not so great anime compared to the good ones as the good ones usually have a decent ending to them. The reason is that I invested so much time into the series and gotten to know the plot and characters that if it doesn't reach a satisfying conclusion, I feel that I have to make up all these what-ifs to justify my time spent on the series, and that clashes with the reality of things. Not only could I have saved myself from all these unwanted feels, but that I could have done something better, like watch a better anime. So I guess it is more of me trying to starve away the feeling that instead of making better use of that time, I spent it on something that gave me these post anime blues.

If you've only watched the anime for Rosario+Vampire, you are missing out. The Manga is about 100 times better. (It also just ended, so I am really sad as well, lol. All that's left is the epilogue) Claymore also seems to be coming to a close as well, I'll be sad when that ends.

I think the problem with the Heavy action packed shonen series is that they drag them out far too long, and you lose interest in the characters.

IT depends of what u like :) i dont like watching the same gender all the time ... and if you wanna see a sad anime u should see Angel beats :)

Pretty much after every episode when I got halfway through Steins;Gate. For Sora no Otoshimono not so much, because Tomoki is just hilarious.

Haven't been watching a a lot of anime recently, but I've been catching up on some mangas that gave me the blues.

In particular, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure - Stone Ocean, Monster and RahXephon did, for different reasons.
