These are animes that used to be pretty popular and while some of them are still are it's just not as they used to be

Criteria:
1. If an anime was based on a manga and the manga gets a more faithful adaptation leaving the first anime to be overshadowed.
2. A season or finale was so bad that's what the show becomes known for nowadays.
3. If a show was highly influential and inspired a lot of other anime that particular anime may not feel original as it used to be.
4. It hasn't particularly aged well.
