What was anime name? my teen romance comedy is wrong as i expected?? I'll watch it too

PADS is a common experience. Personally what helps me is watching or reading stuff about it. There's a lot of good videos on Oregairu on YouTube, and there have been some rewatches on this subreddit that might be fun to read through.

Rewatch

I usually watch a comedy show on an old funny movie. Maybe play a video game that requires a lot of brain power puzzle solving or ill play through an RPG. I would suggest anything that you are passionate about so your brain focuses more on that.

I recently watched Devilman Cry Baby and I can' t watch any other show now

You're not alone; this is quite common and is often called post-anime depression or post-series blues. It's not that the anime "did you harm," but rather that it created an intense emotional connection, and when it ends, there's a feeling of emptiness and abrupt departure.

Some things that can help (based on many people's experiences):
Give it conscious closure: reading analyses, discussions, or selectively rewatching it helps process the story instead of "abandoning it abruptly."
Change the tone; don't jump to something similar immediately. Watching another romantic comedy of the same type usually worsens the comparison.
Separate fiction from personal expectations: Oregairu resonates because it touches on real insecurities, but its resolutions aren't realistic models for daily life.
Return to your own activities (exercise, hobbies, studying). It sounds basic, but it helps rebalance your emotional focus.

If this happens very frequently or intensely, perhaps the problem isn't the series itself, but rather that you're using fiction as your main escape. In that case, it's worth examining what's missing outside of the screen.

Many of us experienced this with Oregairu, Clannad, Your Lie in April, etc. It's not uncommon. The key is not to get stuck in that void and to use the experience as a trigger to understand yourself better, not to isolate yourself further.

Dude!! I was in the same position. I also completed oregairu and had that feeling.. and then searched how to get rid of it. Don't worry it happens...especially when you are attached to the characters. You can try watching any other comedy or action series. You are not alone.. don't worry..it takes time.

To balance out the more serious anime I watch, I often alternate with lighter, comedic shows to help me cope with the heavier themes of the first ones.
