No animation budget.
Anime
Anime that suffer from a considerable drop in animation quality in at least one episode. This can vary from weird looking faces to changing animation technique, using cutouts to make up or making an episode with basically no animation.
I looked in TVtropes, CBR and AniDB for some of these.
If you know of another case, feel free to tell me!
Note
It must NOT be done on purpose, like FLCL, (most of) Shaft's anime or Masaaki Yuasa/Studio SARU anime
It will count here even if the errors were fixed in physical releases.

This is the case that impresses me the most of them all given that it took five years of development hell.

Some episodes suffer from this, especially from Meakashi onwards.

Episode 10 looks drastically off-modeled. I think it was because episode 9 looked way better than the rest of the series.
Fortunately animation goes back to normal by episode 11.

While SHAFT has the tendency of using live action imagery, this time they had to use it even for the backgrounds.
Almost all mistakes were fixed on physical release and all streaming services use the BD release as a base so it's unlikely for someone to see it unless you manage to find the broadcast version in high quality.

I love this anime but I won't deny that they tried the hardest to do 39 episodes with such little budget and keeping a consistent quality. It looks fine overall but there are like 2 episodes with almost no animation. Similar case to Evangelion.

Compared to first season, the animation is more static and models are inconsistent.

Episode 9's broadcast version looked horrible. And I mean horrible.
It was fixed on physical release.

Fun fact: Due to the awfully animated cabbage scene there is an unwritten rule on anime production that no matter how low your budget is, if you are going to animate cabbages, make them look good.

While Shaft is known for having a minimalistic style, the first season of Hidamari Sketch takes it to the extreme. It looks more off-modeled than other contemporary Shaft anime like Negima!? or Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei.
Animation quality increases noticeably from season 2 onwards.
