Yakusoku no Neverland 2nd Season

Fuji TV's noitaminA (ノイタミナ) late night programming block which currently broadcasts on Fridays from 00:45 to 1:45.

These anime suffer from production issues that leave the source material to be cut, rearranged or completely abandoned - rendering it not cannon at all! These decisions don't necessarily ruin the series, but its something to take into account if u are after the full plot from the original author. If u enjoy these I highly urge you to read the manga for full experience!

*Filler episodes are not labelled here, do not expect Bleach and Naruto here*

Every once in a while, a much-awaited sequel to a popular anime comes out and baffles the audience with unwelcome anime-original story changes coming as a result of diverging from the original author's style and vision.

Or, in a similar vein, the IP holder decides it's time to resurrect a story that was by all means finished (or close enough to it) with a completely unnecessary sequel or side-story that fails to live up to the original and makes the whole franchise worse just by existing. Even worse if it retcons the original to invalidate a major dramatic plot point just so that the sequel could happen.

In either case we're left with something that many fans will plead you to pretend it doesn't exist, and honestly... you should probably listen to them.

This list doesn't include manga/LN adaptations that started diverging from the original storyline already in their respective first (or only existing) seasons.

This list also doesn't include sequels that people actually asked for but they ended up horribly made (i.e. Berserk 2016, One-Punch Man S2).

It obviously doesn't include sequels that adapt bad source material without changing it (e.g. Food Wars S4 onwards); while a caring adaptation team will sometimes try to remedy the faults of the source, it's not expected of them to do so.

Fate and Gundam franchises aren't included simply because I just can't pick anything in particular from their enormous(-ly bloated) universes as an example of something unnecessary. You aren't losing anything by ignoring most of them.

This list constitutes my personal views and stances. If something isn't on it, it likely means I haven't seen it or don't have an informed opinion on the matter. Feel free to shoot me suggestions via DMs, but make sure you have a convincing argument if it's not something that's already on my main manga/anime list. I don't promise it'll end up here, but I will consider all suggestions.

Anime that seem to have researched the subject that they are handling.

for sci-fi for example, that would be how accurate the science is.

For the inner masochist in you! The 40 lowest rated, completed, full-length anime on MAL of at least 10+ episodes, updated at the end of every season. Minarai Dive is considered a + because of it's borderline anime status and odd length episodes, and Dimension high School is a + for being partially not anime.

"*Sigh*, What happened here?"

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

Pt 1: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/18405

Anime that mainly focus on Action, but have a story that is focused on too. All are binge-worthy. The whole series is listed in the watching order.

Challenge: Can you watch all the following anime without losing brain cells?
Stay away!!! Reasons why they are bad or underwhelming: Bad animation, bad story, summary of previous seasons as whole episodes, bad endings, unrelated to source material, rushed plot or no continuation of previous plot. Every anime in this list suffers from at least one of the above problems.
