FLCL Progressive

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.

Este fue mi segundo año en el Desafío anual, podría volverse un poco habitual esto desafío para mí.
Ya que te permite realizar un esfuerzo por ver animes viejos que están en mi lista.
Este año decidí no hacer el Hardcore (por falta de tiempo), así que me fui con la dificultad Difícil (de 40 animes) tal vez el año entrante (si es que sigo viendo animes para el próximo año) volveré a entrar.
Ha sido muy interesante y divertido el haber entrado a esto desafío ya que gracias al haberlo hecho he conocido muchas personas (que me ha ayudado muchos) e animes muy interesante.
Acá puede encontrar el desafío del año 2021: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/1890

This was my second year in the Annual Challenge, this challenge might become a bit of a regular for me. Since it allows you to make an effort to watch old animes that are on my list. This year I decided not to do the Hardcore (due to lack of time), so I went with the Hard difficulty (of 40 animes) maybe next year (if I keep watching animes for next year) I will enter again. It has been very interesting and fun to have entered this challenge since thanks to having done it I have met many people (which has helped me many) and very interesting animes.
Here you can find the challenge of the year 2021:

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

Who doesn't want a strong lead, and a female one at that? I mean, people stereotype A LOT in this day and age, so who doesn't want this type of unique character once in a while? Note: I tried to avoid shoujo romances as they are seen as common tropes, although there are some that I thought were personally good on the list.

These animes were nominated for Best Anime Ending themes during the Crunchyroll Anime Awards.

Reboots and remakes of pre-existing anime/video games that are generally negatively received by critics and their own communities. You’re more likely to enjoy these if you’re not a fan of the original media.

This stack applies to anime that had an anime/video game adaptation beforehand. If a manga adaptation is included here, it’s because another anime adaptation existed prior to the current one (e.g. Promised Neverland)
