What series do you feel took a nosedive in quality due to changes made to it?

Interesting topic. Off the top of my head, Sidonia no Kishi and Psycho-Pass were two fairly recent series that hit the gutter in their second seasons, going completely away from what made them good and instead going for something bland, conservative, and relatively insulting to me as a whole.

Looking at my list though, I gotta point out Date A Live, Gatchaman Crowds, the Arise chapter for GitS, Hayate no Gotoku, Hitsugi no Chaika, and Working!. All of these series were memorable, fresh, and entertaining out the gate. That said, I have no idea what the later sequels for these were trying to get at. Some I wonder how they were green-lit or why the production team would tinker so much with something that wasn't broken to start with. Probably a bunch of other series I omitted, but those eight were the most notable.

This won't be pretty

Kuroshitsuji II
High School DxD
Tokyo Ghoul
Grisaia no Rakuen
Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru
Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya

And that is only of the top of my head (so much more)

To name a few off my list:

Date A Live - S@ was just plain crap. It's like they took everyting I like in S1 and said "F**K THIS!"
Kuroshitsuji II - It was a crap original S2.
Grisaia no Rakuen - just wasn't as good as S1
Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu - just a crap S2
Physcho PAss - The S2 was nowhere near the first. Talk about a divergence.
Natsume Yuujinchou - The seasons started getting more and more bland. just didn't feel the same.

In my opinion, I think that the second season of Code Geass was pretty terrible. However, the show wasn't all that good in the first place imo. Plus, people seem to like the second season more. Hitsugi no chaika & Knights of Sidonia had really bad second seasons too.

haha I'm still pretty bitter about those last two you mentioned. As for Geass, I'm hesitant to look at R2 episodes again though, as I'll probably find even more disappointment on a second glance.

I never thought why am I the only person who actually care about Psycho-pass & take it very seriously anyway. I really don't understand why people loved the first one but ironically hates the second one & the movie here anyway.

I'm just.... upset & disappointed over they ain't bother to solve a questions over what happened in most parts especially character flashback episode. Did I missed something? Am I the only one who actually care about the story, characters & everything but no one want to hear my side of it?

Alrighty then... #fml

Yeah, I agree that Psycho-pass's hype seemed a bit unearned, but it wasn't bad by

any means. Psycho-Pass 2 on the other hand is just a train wreck, and is a real

shame that it had to go that downhill.

Psycho-Pass S2 wasn't great in comparision to its first season, but still a lot better than most of the season's other releases.

I especially agree with zieek on the Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru-part...what a letdown the 2nd season was.

A lot of long-time-airing anime seems to have that problem, btw - arcs who don't matter in the main plot most of the time seem to be the studio milking the customer for cash.

Having seen both seasons three times, I can assure you you will be disappointed. The first season has more going for it than the second, in my opinion. CG is one of the few shows that I consider to be kind of terrible but I still really enjoy it.

Psycho-Pass for sure. But the biggest let down for me was Sword art online 2. The second arc of Gurren Lagann was not the best either. Kuroko no baksuke as well.

haha I'm guessing the third time wasn't the charm for you. Yeah, when you have a dominant, endearing character like Lelouch it's hard not to be entertained. And there are those x-factors like having Jun Fukuyama's voice and the CLAMP designs around. Nonetheless, it's still a memorable series and I can recall random things like all the Pizza Hut advertisements and tame school-related events.

these shows themselves arent ground breaking, but had decent first seasons. Ive watched some bad second seasons/sequels, but these have to be the worst:

sorcerous stabber orphan
beet the vandel buster
medabots

All 3 had nothing to do with their first season, less than nothing in most cases, were all too long and ridiculously boring.

Psycho Pass S2, Darker than Black S2, Gundam Seed Destiny, and Aldnoah Zero S2 come to mind.
