Despite its hilarious fanservice, Seikon no Qwaser is a good anime actually, but yea the 2nd season is indeed bad :(

Black Lagoon? I haven't seen the second season but I've heard that some people don't like it.

Watch it mate, much improvement over the first one. Some people don't like anything.

Pretty much. Many series are usually better or the same quality.

Obligatory Psycho-Pass and Darker than Black. Loved the first seasons, second seasons made me cry over how they ruined the entire series.

Everyone who said Kurobas is wrong.

Hayate no Gotoku!'s sequels/spinoffs are pretty shit. Not that the original was perfect, but it was at least fun. And had Wakamoto Norio.

You didn't present any arguments, yet you're asking me for some? Okay...

Seasons 2 and 3 have more characters. They also actually have character development, and things get moving in terms of story. Season 1 is building stuff up.

Season 2 is the weakest season for me, even though I love the shit out of Murasakibara. It's not bad though. There's Murasakibara, Alex, blond Hyuuga, the hot springs episode, amongst others.

Season 3 is the strongest season by far. It has the Teikou arc, which is amazing, Shuutoku vs Rakuzan and Seirin vs Rakuzan. Finding out stuff about Akashi is probably the most important part of the series (even though I knew what was going to happen since I read the manga), and I really enjoyed Rakuzan's dynamic as a team. It also shows how strong Seirin became, as cheesy as it was, and the last few episodes were pretty emotional. The last episode is the result of a long buildup of 74 episodes that lead to it.

Kurobas certainly has flaws, and there are most definitely aspects I didn't care about (Hanamiya can fuck off and Haizaki needs to be hit by a bus), but I never felt like it went downhill. There were just characters, and therefore matches, I didn't have an interest in. But that's what you get with sports anime.

I don't get what's wrong besides the crappy cliffhanger. I enjoyed the gorgeous animation and the more serious atmosphere in it and the social psychology went even deeper that it took me awhile to understand what was he even talking about.


I didn't even finish it yet, but off the top of my head, the lack of 8man's inner monologues that were so apparent in season 1 really changed the atmosphere for me and I couldn't relate to or understand him nearly as much.

Log Horizon, the first season was really good, the second not that good, isn't bad, but isn't good as the first thought.

Tokyo Ghoul anime was bad from the beginning, but the first season at least was enjoyable.

Psycho-Pass, Chuunibyou, Durarara (it's not bad, it's just not as good) and the worst of all Kimi no Todoke (I really loved season one but season two was just horrible).

FMA The Conqueror of Shamballa. I actually strongly prefer 2003 over Brotherhood. But you will never, ever hear me defend Shamballa.

SAO II was pretty much fan service + story on background, I still can't understand why they ended the first arc, created the second arc which shouldn't be discussed and then created an entire second season using the same rather "nope"-workline.

Sword Art Online, Log Horizon and I think that Accel World will be, the end has been bad.
The first SAO season ended bad, the second season started well, but the ending was horrible.
I like Psycho-Pass, but without Kogami is boring, Akame is very boring. The movie was cool.

Oh, I didn't remember of Tokyo Ghoul. The adaptation was bad. I thought it was good but it was very disappointing. The manga is better?

Dragon Ball. I consider Z even bigger crap than GT.
Psycho Pass? Eh, I obviously like s1 more, but I don't consider s2 that bad... I don't have any arguments for that, though, and they're both on my list to rewatch, so my opinion can change.
What a beautiful Duwang.

-SAO (First season is also bad tbh)
-Clannad (Didn't like the two of them but the 2nd was even more boring)
-Code Geass (Which surprised me considering that the first one was cool)
-Darker than Black (It was alright, but worse than the first one)
-Death Note (Good, but the 2 characters felt like L and Light ripoffs)

Code Geass 2nd season bad o.O What?The 2nd season was better than the 1st one is o many aspects not sure how did you get that opinion.

I'd say kaiji. Don't get me wrong, the second season was still very good but compared to the 1st, it was disappointing


Feel the same, the second season was really disappointing for me

Also, the second season of Tokyo Ghoul was quite bad... Thankfully I read the manga afterwards :p

-lack of hachiman monologue, which it make him look like robots with those expression and what we do make no sense especially first part. in the second part, it's fixed. but the story turned to be cringeworthy drama when the heroine dragged hachiman to fix everything unlike first season when he only doing it when he needed.

Agreed.
Rosario X Vampire needs to be added to the list. But then the anime was a mess so it's hard to say the first season was any good either.
What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about?

Well, not a season, an arc (but very large).

Hunter x Hunter (2011): all the arcs were amazing until the Chimera Ant arc... Very boring.

This is a huge list that I could ramble off lol.

But I will go with Darker than Black, cause while it didn't absolutely need a second season, it COULD have benefitted from one had they gone about it a better way. And I'm not just saying this because of the drunken mess Hei became. He was down, miserable and had lost all hope, I get that and even though I hated to see him that way, I understand it. But Mao in a cuddly critter and those damn twin.... It really could have just been executed better.
