Excuse me if I'm stretching and going a little overboard because I haven't watched a ton of Anime yet, I think I've finished 10 or 11 or so series. But my goodness, is it just me or does the second half of many anime just horrible? It seems like after the main story idea ends, they just sit in a room and say "okay, we gathered a nice fan base, how about we throw in all of the things that we originally thought were horrible in order to milk these characters for even more money.

The reason why I say this, I just recently finished watching Sword Art Online, because when I read the description I thought, okay, anime, video games, virtual reality, swords, and death game? Sounds like a win! Then I started watching it, and although it wasn't the best thing I've ever seen (I had just finished watching AoT so my mind was somewhat bias) it had enough good for me to get into it although it was the nerdiest nerdfest I'd ever seen. I watched the entire SAO scenario and although I thought it was very rushed, it was pretty good. The main story ended. And then it happened.



Example number 2, Death note, probably my absolute favorite Anime that I've ever seen, started off amazing! Everything about it was beautiful, the art style, the characters, the story, the concept, the mind games, EVERYTHING.


There's tons more that has fell into that mold, too many to mention in detail, and I wonder why? Is it just me, or does it seem like they seem to take dumps on anime after the main story ends? Hopefully AoT doesn't do that.... but I'm starting to worry.

I've brought this up numerous times. The creators get high off of success and simply jack off on a blank piece of paper to create the script for the second part. :/

I can give examples of more anime that got better in the second half, so this just seems selective, and not something with a pattern.

i haven't read the manga but i am not holding my breath :")
@OP: some anime have a very good start to the point that they can survive on hype alone afterwords , so no need to further make good stuff , the fans will watch anything related to said anime even if it's utter shit!!!
examples: naruto, bleach, FT ....

Did you seriously watch Death Note thinking Light was going to win? That is your own fault, lol.

They killed off L one of the animes best characters midway through. The rest was ok but without the interaction between Light and L the series just wasn't as good at least in my and the OP's opinion.

I think most either stay the same or get better. There's also certain genres that are more likely to do that. For example most episodic SoLs never do that to me and instead usually get better.

Death note was only one season wtf are people on about.

It is true however that a lot of 2nd seasons sucks because they weren't intended at all, and it should be obvious why that could be a problem.

Death Note may not have had a second season but it had a second arc like SAO and like SAO it was sub par to the first one.

I didn't say second season, I said second half. And I'm also not saying that there isn't some that get better, because I'm sure there is. I just know a lot of the ones I've seen have went downhill, extremely fast at that.

I'm pretty sure there are plenty that get better as it goes on and the story develops more. It just seems like some of them are written on toilet paper.

And this Jojo that some are speaking of, I think I'll check that out next. Hopefully it doesn't have hundreds of episodes.

I know some people were talking about second halfs (like the OP) I was talking about some people in the first page.

Also sao was trash since the start, but I guess it can get worse?
