Its my personal opinion but I think Gintama, it's not that funny anymore there are more serious arcs now.

Just about every other anime that continues with a second season goes down hill. I can't remember the last time I watched a series that only got better as it kept continuing.

The Promised Neverland would be the best recent example. I could go into my own reasons, but all of it has probably been ranted to death already. Instead, I'll leave you with that its first season is at a strong 8.57 score, whereas its second season that released earlier this year is at 5.44...

I disagree with Re:Zero having gone downhill. I can only assume that you're missing Rem lol.

I guess going downhill is a significant difference between s1 and s2, and that s1 was good and s2 and everything after were not. I have multiple animes where s1 is the best but others are good too and it's actually hard to find some that really got shit after s1 because usually after a strong start it stays at least enjoyable. It also excludes animes with a volatile quality like jojo and animes that go downhill but later than right after s1. I looked at my whole list and the only ones I found are beastars and Quanzhi Gaoshou, both have a cool first season and a meh second one.

Re:Zero. Season 2 is a snore fest. If the MC had above average intelligence the whole Sanctuary arc would only be 5-6 episodes long.
Season 1 had dynamics and was going forward, season 2 is only running in circles like a blind rat.

I absolutely loved the first season of Dr Stone, but hated the second. It's not like I feel the quality dropped but I really didn't enjoy the 2nd.

How about those CGI Ghost in the Shell abominations that came out after GITS: SAC 1 + 2? Ghost in shell worked much better when animation and CGI went hand in hand.

SEED Destiny messed up the story and ended up hated by a lot of Gundam fans.

Akito the Exiled only got worse with time and more OVAs. But End of Evangelion takes the cake as far as being a slap in the face to fans who enjoyed the Mecha fights of Eva.

I actually hate Darker than Black: Gemini of the Meteor the most. How could they remove Hei's powers like that and give us a lame new MC in return?

The first season of Highschool DXD was definitely the best. It kind of fell off for me after that.

Mugen train was a downhill to me.
My hero academia's manga is also going downhill in the latest chapter. It was releasing peak chapters every week and now it is falling flat.
Dr stone stone wars was weak.
That time I got reincarnated as a slime was not only going downhill, but it had one of the most lamest villains I've ever watched in an anime.
After the Gugu's arc, To your eternity has also went downhill and became your typical shounen.

Kemono Friends 2, a good example because the characters design/art/animation is overhauled, the main character is replaced & the storyline is like a copy of prequel not like a sequel

gintama had some funny comedy but what came next is an abomination, the mangaka started crating a nonsensical plot with nonsensical drama because he ran outta jokes. Gintama should have ended after Benizakura arc

Squid Girl was a decent slice of life comedy but the second season was crap, there's really only one funny joke in it.

- Tensura: S1: Let's build an country with interesting characters, world setting, happy slice of life and a prepare future seasons with a potential antagonist.

S2: EDGINESS!!!


- Gunslinger Girl Il Teatrino: they "moe-ized" the gils and brought bright colours in the grim "film noir" that was set in season1. Plus some very important gory and disturbing parts of the manga were censored.

- Aggretsuko S2:
since that very moment, I lost all the empathy I had for Retsuko! No matter how mush she is in pain from the moment she refused this dream life, she deserved the shit that happens to her.

- Danmachi: S1: I have to become strong to deserve the love of the beautiful warrior who saved my life. Let's ignore the other girls to love her and only her.
S2: Let's ignore the blonde beauty and let start adding girls to my harem in a mansion.

- Chaika the coffin princess: I saw the end coming miles away... and WTF with the cannon girl?

- Overlord: with godlike powers, there is nothing that Ainz did in season 1 that I would not have done myself... from season 2 and afterward however he starts to be corrupted by the powers he have, starts doing immoral unnecessary things and become less and less lovable as a character.

Promised Neverland (Obvious and with a huge gap)
Tokyo Ghoul (Obviously too but much less worse than TPN)
My Hero (Gradually, with the exception of some arcs)
Psycho-Pass (Didn’t watched the S2 yet, but heard a lot of issues)
To Heart (RMM was really bad, breaking almost everything of S1)
Tokyo Revengers (If they make other seasons, that will be worse and worse tbh)

These are from what I watched.
Reviewing is not easy.

I don't know what they were thinking. The second season was a mistake.

Attack on Titan, I wish that entire series stayed like season 1, above average shounen with a unique premise but no, it had to try and be all super serious and mature, well look how that turned out, for me at least, not good.

Attack on titan. The first season was somewhat ok, I liked all the tension/mystery created, but thing onlu got worse. I didn't like season 2 and 3 as much as season 1, but they weren't that bad...season 4 and the whole final part are just atrocious.

Damn, I didn't think I'd find a relatable take on Squid Girl here. Second season just didn't land it. The experience was definitely more stale, especially the comedy. Lost the vibe overall.

Seriously, i don't even get why. Did they adapt all the good stories fom the manga in season 1 or what?

I honestly can't even remember any episodes from that season off the top of my head. The only gag that stuck out to me was the one where she plays house with that little girl, they reenact a soap opera.

ReZero dropped off a cliff. I really enjoyed the first one and was pretty hyped when s2 was finally announced. Boy, what a disappointment. It's so bad, it retroactively ruined the first season.

The original Higurashi series also. It was an epic fail when it comes to answering the many questions raised in the first season. It mystifies me that it's so popular.

Tokyo Ghoul (After Season 1 it's dead)
Promised Neverland (Season 2 is biggest shit)
