Why do I feel sad after reading an anime?

This feeling of emptiness and emotional exhaustion suggests your subconscious needs to digest the story and the characters.

Of course, this type of reaction may be a sign of deeper mental health problems that need addressed by a professional. For most fans, the blues is a natural part of consuming engaging stories. As a librarian, I’ve seen readers with book hangovers that share the end-of-an-anime depression. They often don’t want to jump into a new book immediately.

How to write an anime review?

Writing a review about an anime is one of otaku culture’s favorite pastimes, and it offers some outlet for creativity. Most reviews tend to become rants for or against an anime if you write it while you are still hooked on it. It’s a good way to purge your feelings and thoughts. The adage to writing is to write drunk but edit sober. So after you purge yourself of all your emotions, save it as a draft. Don’t hit publish! Do something else for awhile and come back after you are over the blues. Then edit and rewrite the post. You may find your thoughts have changed after your subconscious has chewed on the story for awhile. After you give it a revision pass, you should be able to safely click publish. Good writing requires some distance.

What to do after binge watching anime?

Everyone needs a creative hobby. No matter what it is, make time for it. After binging on an anime, you’ve likely neglected your creative hobby. Now’s the time to return to it! You can use the story you’ve finished as creative fuel. Even if you aren’t into drawing anime characters, themes and other elements of the anime can offer inspiration. Sometimes I’ll find elements of an anime appear in my writing. And if you don’t have a creative hobby, take the time to experiment. Try different things until you find a hobby you enjoy. After bingeing (and who doesn’t binge nowadays?), the shift toward something creative will help the twinge of guilt you can sometimes feel after burning hours in front of a screen. Anime may inspire you to try a new hobby like an instrument or even playing a game like go.

In fact, you should be decreasing your smartphone and social media use anyway. Excessive use of both have strong links to depression, lack of focus, and other problems. As you walk, you will think about the story you just finished. It’s fine to indulge those thoughts a little, but don’t completely fall into them. The point of a walk is to spend time in the present moment and focus on what is going on outside of you. This allows your subconscious to take over the mulling process. This better allows the story to remain with you; particularly, when it has a deep meaning for you. A walk gives your emotions time to cool if you are the type that gets emotionally involved with a story–or angry if it ends poorly.
