I was gonna post Promised Neverland.

It is the worst offender of this. It goes from a legit 10/10 to a 5 at best.

The Promised Neverland's second season is a 2/10 at best. 5 is waaay too generous. >.>

With that being said Deathnote season 1 is 10/10 and season 2 is just very ok.

Promised Neverland deviated so hard from the manga that it wasn't even funny.

One-Punch Man, both the manga and the anime. The novelty really really wears off fast imo.

Just wait until you see The Promised Neverland. It will really recontextualize how bad it can get.

I watched the first season and loved it, but could not think of where they could go from there. I'd imagine it's either keep having him beat the big bad with no problem, or just turn into a traditional shonen.

Good luck. Hopefully you didn't read the manga. It flat out pissed my brother off *bad* when season 2 came out and we got... what we got as he was super into the manga.

I felt that pain. I watched 2 episodes of season 1 with someone who wanted me to see it. This was while it was first airing. I got hooked so hard I went and read the entire manga that was out at the time before season 1 was even halfway done airing.

So when season 2 did what it did..oh god. It hurt.

Seven Deadly Sins 1st Season. Each season after that fell off and got worse and worse. As I understand, it's more of a source material issue than an adaptation issue

Ye. Season 1 is so good and then Season 2 just feels almost vindictive at how much it actively hates the material. I was legit dumbfounded at the ending, and kind of just sat there bewildered for a couple of minutes trying to figure out WTF I just watched.

Same can be said about Death Note as you can sorta tell where they were supposed to stop writing but ended up being forced to continue on past its prime. Funnily enough, their next manga, Bakuman, ends with them making a manga that's a lot like Death Note and what they did with that manga was exactly like a bit "fuck you" to the industry that forced them to continue on. They ended up getting the manga to end exactly when they wanted and thus was cemented as a GOAT since it ended on a high note.

Reading and watching it really made it obvious that they were throwing shade too.

Highschool DxD tbh. The slice of life/fanservice stuff stays about as good (maybe even gets better) in the later seasons, but the main plot goes pretty far off the rails. I preferred the more focused, somewhat restrained plot in season 1

This. The thing is, the original WEBCOMIC still managed to hold up all the way until ONE gave up on it. The manga quickly became generic and worst of all unfunny, completely watering down the jokes and satire in the original WC to make the series more "safe" and quickly became a series more about unironic Shonen hype that the original premise was intended to parody.

It was probably the editors who wanted it. Maybe even because they weren't getting enough votes in and it needed to change. Probably told them to stop with the gags or something.

I almost said this, but remembered I hated it almost from the start.

By the time it got to Alfheim, I can't remember another show that made me that infuriated. Maybe HIMYM's ending.

This the most objectively true answer. In a world where Promised Neverland exists, it will always be the right answer to this question.

Rising of the shield hero. Making a minor reoccurring background character the main focus of the season just because they got promoted to new team member was a bad choice.

It is the worst offender of this. It goes from a legit 10/10 to a 5 at best.
I was waiting to binge it until everybody started shifting on it. I want to watch out of morbid curiosity, but don't want to waste the time.

Id go with Shield Hero. I only got about 4 episodes in before I tapped out. It was so boring.

Just watch the first (it's actually not that bad, so you might as well) and last episodes then. While the train goes hard off of the rails in the episodes in between the last episode is the one that really encapsulates while people despise Season 2 so much. It... is the worst ending to an anime period, and definitely is a contender for the worst ending across all mediums. It is just insane how disrespectful it was.

Dragonball Z. Yeah really.
The Saiyan saga is amazing and something I genuinely enjoy rewatching. The other sagas definitely have their moments, but for the most part they make me feel like "ugh, get it over with already"

The ending of the anime was fine. It was the ending of the manga that went in a rather strange direction.
