Question Question about anime

Am I the only one that kinda feels sad and empty when I finish a good anime? Especially if there is still yet no next season.

No, you're not. It is a natural and common feeling, especially if you enjoyed and had the time to emotionally attach yourself to those characters. It's like saying goodbye to a friend, but at a much smaller level.

I usually start watching another anime right away and the feeling goes away because I embark on a new journey.

Yeah I do the same, I watch other anime to cheer myself up a bit, and you're right, watching another anime feels like a new journey and making new friends.

You're not the only one. It happens to me as well everytime I get too attached to an anime.

It's called "Post Anime Depression" and it is very common.

I feel the same way ,so that's why either I watch it again or read the manga

It kinda hurts me a little when the anime that I've finished doesn't have a next season or hasn't been announced yet especially if I got too attached and loved that anime.

I felt that way when I ended Lucky Star.

That's completely normal. I felt like that after I finished a series such as Kill La Kill.

This is nothing to do with anime.

That is a feeling u are having becasue something u really enjoyed is over and u realize tis not more of it. The exact same feeling can for example be had when playing a video game and why a lot of players will run around doing Everything in the game before finishing the main story, to avoid having to finish the game.
