Sequels that had a considerably worse reception than the first/previous seasons.

The most common causes is continuing a story that fans considered completed or a bad/rushed adaptation.

Not including reboots/remakes/alternative versions.
Not including airing seasons nor seasons from less than 2 seasons old after airing.
Not adding sequels that had a score higher than its direct prequel, no matter if its score is lower than the first season, for example:

S1: 8.5 S2: 7.4 S3: 7.6
In this case I won't add the third season.
Not adding inter-season OVAs either but adding sequel specials meant as finale.

This is NOT based on my personal opinion although I might leave it here but it won't have any influence on the scale.
This list is MAL's score-based.
With "best" season I refer to the season with the highest score.
Difference must be more than 0.50 points unless next season of a previous one that was put here has a lower score of more than 0.1

TV, 2020, 24 eps Me:- Author:6
Score difference from best season: -0.97

Personal opinion: GOU had potential to be decent despite KAI being a great conclusion to the story. Not horrible, decent as best in fact although at times I felt like it was a parody of the original.

Tanoshii Muumin Ikka Bouken Nikki
TV, 1991, 26 eps Me:- Author:5
Score Difference: -0,76

Personal opinion: They took off everything that made the 1st season enjoyable. This feels like the weakest episodes of S1 but turned into an entire season, plus getting rid of any continuity and narration that made S1 special.

Ah also, animation is way worse.
