These sequels nearly ruined their series.
Anime sequel series may seem like an easy way to leverage the success of an established title, but the expectations and responsibility that come with following up on a beloved title, especially after a long wait, tend to have the opposite effect instead. Sequels must take great care not to alienate existing fans, while also adding enough new content to prove their value, which is a complicated issue to balance.
8 Darker than Black: Gemini of the Meteor Darker than Black is an entirely original Sci-Fi thriller that managed to attract a passionate fanbase with its compelling characters, mysterious setting, and intense action scenes. However, the issue with its second season is that, while a decent show in and of itself, it simply fails to live up to the expectations set by its predecessor. The much-beloved characters were suddenly changed for no reason.
5 Aldnoah.Zero Part 2 As an original title with no established original source to adapt from, Aldnoah.Zero was always going to be a gamble, coming out at a time when mecha shows had fallen out of flavor, and choosing to heavily rely on CGI, which the anime world was still apprehensive about. In spite of everything, the show found success with viewers who were entranced by the engaging high-octane action scenes depicting the war between Earth and the Vers Empire.
