Isn't everything "just" a thing though? That's kind of the issue. Your values and thoughts and achievements, and your moral victories or stances also potentially lack meaning. How you approach this will vary. Either you strongly assert that they do and claim the responsibility for imposing meaning on an insensate universe, or you consider it to be "ain't none of this matters. None of this matters" situation.
A given bodies interpretation of what that really means will vary. Some will say that such a stance amounts to "I'm tired, utter suicide" or that in fact, changing your relationship to reality is enlightening and involves becoming one with the Universe all Buddha or Force Ghost like.
You aren't going to "live" the way you are now though, not for any meaningful period. You'll change. (probably die, although if we or you avoid death in the mechanical sense, you will still change, and possibly lose all sense of current identity).
Quite the pickle.
But to OP: get out and exercise, to tide you over get weapons grade antidepressants. This may only make you able to function, you might not actually be happy. You will also want to exercise more. Although, this depends on how much you want to live and accomplish. If you don't want to, we won't be hearing from you, clearly.

I still get that feeling sometimes but ho-ly hell when I was a child I would break down in tears. That feel would wreck me.
For me, it isn't so much the empty feeling from finishing a good series; its the empty feeling of not being able to decide on which series to start next.

I've been having a bad time with this lately for some reason. Usually I've never had much trouble getting over it, but right now it's just not letting me go.
Rewatched Girls und Panzer a couple of months ago and the Film as soon as it became available, then marathoned it all again for good measure. Now I'm even getting GuP dreams night after night. Haven't watched any other anime in a long while because I'm still so fucking hung up GuP for some reason.
Roughly a year ago I realized that I never finished Marimite's season 4, so I rewatched everything and it pretty much killed my libido for weeks. It was alright though, instead of the big emptiness Marimite left me full of love. Still though, for a month or so all I cared to watch was nature documentaries and some select episodes of Marimite here and there.
Fafner. Not sure if I like the way they did certain things
>>143241932
I've develop a fear of finish series due to this.
At least it get better now that there so much in my backlog that I have some way to cope with it.
Used to also feel empty after finishing a series, but eventually got used to it due to all the marathoning.
>>143243952
yeah, the effect was even worse because I was an edgy fucker just like that in high school si I accidentally ended up self-inserting hard as fuck
Felt like I lost the friends I never had in real life when I finished the damn show
Gintama was the worst for me, I was constantly watching it for 9 months then suddenly there was none left. I'm not ready for it to end either, no matter how bad it gets. I also finished Jojo part 3 this week, listening to this ED after watching parts 1 - 3 really gives me that empty feeling, I don't have the motivation to watch part 3.

Haruhi, NHK, and Evangelion were the worst for me in this regard. Haruhi is blatantly easy to self-insert into, NHK is easy to relate to, Evangelion shits on you. I would add Spice and Wolf to the list but the characters are so dynamic that I can't really get drawn in, I'm forced to watch enviously from a distance.

>>143265324
Good question.
Habit I guess. When there is no emotion involved appreciation becomes quantitative rather then subjective. So I'm more concerned with the finer points of narrative, animation, style and humour.
The difference I guess is that liking something without emotion is a completely rational and reasoned exercise, whereas before I would like things or do things, without having a reason.
>>143262030
My emotions are disconnected but I still feel physiological responses to stimuli. For example, I don't sense the emotion of fear at extreme heights in my mind, but my palms do start sweating. Physiologically everything seems to be still working fine - its just disconnected from the cognitive side.
It hasn't affected by sex drive, but its very difficult for me to connect with a woman emotionally during sex. So sex becomes very much like 'paint by numbers' where I follow a set pattern or strategy to reach climax for her and myself.
I guess I have sex because my body tells me to, not because I want to.

Sometimes thinking about how the story would've (or should've) been, or what the characters did wrong to end in the shit they did, is the only way to cope with the story I get overly emotional about. With or without self-inserting. I like to think I maintain a certain degree of dignity with self-inserts, like no mary-sueing, but that is probably wrong.

I'm hype as fuck for the next season.Although is it really one whole season for one match? Or did I get misled by the previews?
>>143257714
I think it was actually an issue with the manga too; iirc, the author wanted to end the manga earlier, but the editors and such made him continue it on arbitrarily because it was so popular. So his heart just wasn't in the rest.

>the emotional connection transcends physical bullshit
You should be able to separate the two. At least in the real world. Drawings are ideal objects filled with your own emotions towards them, so it should be mode difficult to fap to them. Real people are just people, any kind of emotional connection with them is provisional precisely because of the complexity of the personality. So you can just fap without second thoughts, knowing that that other person masturbates to some porn as well.

This. VNs will fill that void for months, and by then, new shows will be out that are worth watching.Unless you're one of those fags that thinks everything after TTGL is shit, in which case, please fuck yourself.

Oh god this.
My life would be empty without the archive. Making a fresh thread for some obscure anime that will get less then 10 replies just wont cut it for me anymore.

For me, it was regret with not coming to /a/ sooner. I actually did watch Haruhi (second season) while it aired, but I didn't go to any forums or anything about it because people who like anime were generally shitheads, in my opinion at the time. I remember feeling betrayed and lonely each week as Endless Eight aired and having no one to talk about it with...
It was that fall season that I started going to /a/. When I found out everything that I missed with E8, I felt the sorrow in my bones.

>you'll never have friends like that

I empathized the most with the girl, the squirrel one, whatever the fuck, Kiri-something maybe?, and so finishing that series left me empty and depressed because she got almost no closure at all. It fucking sucked, I still feel sad about how cast aside she was. I hope she found friends...
>>143270031
but real people have flaws and drawings can be flawless
>>143270152
the rating needs to be close to 8.
Otherwise it's total garbage and a waste of time. I'm just not stupid enough to enjoy bad shows or moeshit crap like love live

>>143270764
>the rating needs to be close to 8
I don't know what system you're using, but if you're looking at shit like MAL, then you're fucking retarded. I've seen plenty of shitty shows on MAL rated an 8+, and I've thoroughly enjoyed, as in 8-9/10 enjoyment, several shows rated around a 7 or below. You can't judge it until you've at least watched a little of it, stopping after only 1-2 episodes is understandable (although you can't make blanket statements about it's worth at that little), but to use an arbitrary and flawed rating system before even trying something is garbage.
>>143271058
imdb and MAL when used together usually appeal to me. Cowboy Bebop and NGE are the only two I that I didn't enjoy, despite how smart and deep they were. However if I have to enjoy something with a 6 or 7, I usually can't overlook the obvious repeated insufferable flaws unless I have a thing for them. Like oreimo is pretty good for incestfags but the MC's sister is a total bitch at the same time and doesn't develop till the last episodes so I can understand why it's rated low
>>143271289
I think you're too fixated on the ratings. Just look at the premise for a show and the staff, etc., then decide if you want to watch it. It sounds like if you see it has a low rating, you're going to look for flaws. Stop being such a snob.
>>143271289
Your a bit of a sheep anon, just pick stuff that appeals to you and watch it. Then make an opinion on it later and shitpost that opinion to oblivion like the rest of us.
This always happens to me when finishing a really good series that I deeply enjoyed.

>>143271887
If you don't like a show, just fucking drop it and move on. Its not rocket science and you sure as shit don't need to look up ratings on fucking mal of all places first. Free thought is a good thing.
>>143271887
>I don't want to waste time on bad stuff.
I so fucking hate this shit.
First, I'm pretty sure that your time is not so extremely limited and valuable that you don't have 40-60 minutes to watch a few episodes.
Second, "experiencing" is not time wasted.
Third, it's rather pathetic if you allow others to "tell" you what to watch based on their experience without even trying.
Like this anon said >>143271572
Do you basic research about the show and if that hits, watch a few eps to get a taste of it. If it's not good, drop and move on. What did you lose? Pretty much nothing. Deciding on what to watch based on rater cretins (reading some comment on the quoted sites is hardly above YouTube comment quality apart from it being much more pretentious) is a sheep mentality. Not to mention that you can miss very good stuff just because it does not fit the taste of the commons.

I doubt there is anything worse than having nothing to be nostalgic about at all. The rest of /a/ may have shit lives, but at least they have the memories they share with each other. I have had nothing. No friends except for that one guy who let me watch youtube with him, no internet at home until I was 13, no games, no cartoons, no TV, just boring fiction about saints and shit. I haven't even been aware of the existence of most things in the world for a decade even though I'm turning 20 this december. Tried doing highschool only to drop out, tried homeschooling again and failed senior year twice.
Never had anything

No memories is better than having only memories of roleplaying on a Sonic the Hedgehog forum, blocking out the shameful memories, then finding the pictures of your OC that you saved on a backup CD you made 10 years ago.

Sometimes that guy would also let me make flipnote animations, and one time I made this edgy flipnote with stick figures killing each other with linkin park playing in the background. It became pretty well known on the shitty site we used but I never found out until years later because I wasn't allowed to use the internet.

>>143276014
The absolute worst i've ever gotten was when I binge read the Wheel of Time. I spent 2 weeks holed up in my room reading from the time I woke up until my eyes couldn't stay open and I fell asleep. I had dreams about the magic and characters and stuff. I didn't read any more books for like 6 months, and since then I've limited myself to no more than half a book a day. I didn't think the same thing would apply to manga though.
Probably the only thing that kept me sane was that there were a few different perspective in the books. I shudder to think what would've happened to me if I had read the entire series in only the MC's perspective.Especially since Matt was the best character.

This is the right mindset. Of course, melancholic or sad anime will make me feel sad but after I'm done with the waterworks I feel happy after just because it was a good show and I'm glad that I was able to experience watching it --Clannadbeing the most recent thing I can think of watching where I've gone through this pattern.

After watching anime like GuP, Saki, Strike Witches, Upotte, or anything similar, I felt empty inside for quite a few days. I would rewatch Saki episodes for some time before I stumbled upon Daphne. I was looking around for recommendations for anime similar to cute girls doing military/tournament things, and I would drop most after the first few episodes. Daphne turned out to be quite interesting and I found my waifu as well.
>>143241932
we've all been there. That fucking void man. Dunno which is worse when it ends or when it stays on hiatus Like berserk.
Also i know some will mock and insult me but have any of you have such huge voids over the end that you go and read fanfictions in a sad attempt to get more? God forbid even write some.
Also, does get it get even harder to get invested in new series? That also a thing that happens to me.
