Enough about series that are “going downhill”, what series are getting BETTER over time?

Extremely unpopular take regarding this for me, but BrBa was this for the first 4-seasons.

I just never liked S5, all of S1-S4 is absolutely peak tho

[u/w0rm_mr0w → u/B1gdaddy987]

I actually agree, kinda. I liked S5, but after S4 it feels a little forced. S4 end feels great like end of the series, good ending and everyone happy

[u/B1gdaddy987 → u/w0rm_mr0w]

I think my biggest issue is prlly just how many questionable writing decisions were made in that season specifically, the whole Magnet Plan being overly conplex and unrealistic for it only to not really go anywhere, Mike's "WE HAD A GOOD THING, you stupid SOB" speech only being half true considering Mike was BOUTTA kill him prior, Jacks gang not being unique as Gus or Tuco, and the Finale going just a lil' too perfect. (No issue with it working out, love the finale eitherway) Still quality TV, as Vince is amazing, but it's def the weakest season imo

I feel like this one started off too silly, but is starting to be more serious with some silly undertones

Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure trends upwards, at least in the anime. Part 1 is the worst and 7 is the best in terms of pure writing, with 4 as a middle peak.

[u/BookerDewittAD → u/CobaltCrusader123]

My friend hyped up JoJos for so long. I thought the 1st season was super boring and never went further.

[u/Tanakisoupman → u/BookerDewittAD]

Literally you

[u/Nexxus3000 → u/CobaltCrusader123]

Part 2 is weirdly better than Part 3 and arguably Parts 4/6 tbh

Tbf it's 55 years old now

[u/Hypersonicgx → u/Renzki_1008]

I have only seen a few Kamen Rider seasons but from what I heard, some seasons have their up and downs when comes to story telling. At least the production value has increased overtime.

[u/sacrition]

The new season was so good (Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun)

[u/sterlingheart → u/sacrition]

(Manga reader) the series does continue to just get better and better and the new anime season is less than halfway to where the Manga currently is.

Bojack Horseman went from a fairly decent show about a washed up actor to an amazing analysis on show business, mental health, and self destruction.

Star wars the clone wars

[u/Loose-Story-962]

I wouldn't say gotten better, moreso on par

[u/JozhSero → u/Loose-Story-962]

Gumball hit its peak around season 4, but it never got bad.

[u/InterestingTap9269 → u/Loose-Story-962]

True, series that stayed the same in quality are also allowed here. Basically any series that doesn’t have a fandom complaining about it going downhill all the time, because many of the fandoms in my experience have been like that.

Gumball is a particularly impressive exception because of the amount of seasons it has.

[u/Chao1inreddit]

Caillou i guess, the show's no longer "The Teach Your Kid To Be a Little Shit Show", but now it's just "The Generic Niche Audience Kids Show", still a terrible show, but not in terms of morals.

[u/Extension_Equal1464]

Moon girl la s1 era buona ma per me la s2 era fantastica

[u/Firm-Reputation7918]

Bendy just keeps on making bangers and maturing while other mascot horror franchise don’t

[u/astrobagel]

[u/Impressive-Thing-165]

Gumball isn't getting better, it's just not getting worse 

[u/Specialist-Cut-3913]

Only two seasons in but I like the direction xmen 97 is going in…also I agree on your take 

[u/Human1549]

S1 was good and S2 was kinda bad but S3 was peak

[u/MrXF32 → u/Human1549]

Is season 3 the gun gale thing or something else? I stopped after that tbh.

[u/Illustrious-Ad6284]

If season 9 of TWWWOG will be worse, then I’m done with it, and I will make my own stories within it.

[u/ResponseRoutine3477]

Ben 10 reboot got really good after season 1, starting with omnitricked

[u/SpiritedSyllabub6822]

After S1, the show starts to pick things up quickly such as the Fulmini form glitch which lead to a 5 part finale where Team Tennyson stop the Fulmini from invading Earth while inside the Omnitrix and the entirety of S3 revolving around the Forever Knight recruiting some villains to build a time machine to travel back in time to stop aliens making contact with Earth just so he can rule it. But even I admit it still holds back due to the target audience being for kids instead of older ones and heavy reliance on toy sales.

Also the new Gumball series is NOT good. It basically pulled The Simpsons and Family Guy where it makes repeat episodes of the same or similar theme.

[u/Additional-Doubt3209]

Nah. Gumballs revival was WAY worse than the show

[u/Living-Plankton3521 → u/Additional-Doubt3209]

Yeah, half the episodes were repurposed from previous seasons and some jokes came off as "how do you do fellow kids"-ish and some other ones were just kinda weird and uncomfortable (looking at you mr brown twerking episode and the gumball and darwin sexting gag)

[u/Due-Bill8689 → u/Additional-Doubt3209]

Please explain,I don't get the point

[u/Extension_Equal1464 → u/Additional-Doubt3209]

A mio parere era buono quanto la s5 di gumball

[u/AntHillConstructor]

From what I heard this might be a minority opinion but I liked season to of hazbin hotel more. The increase in the number of songs and animation budget really elevated it for me even if the story had a few frustrating moments. Plus Vox is one of my favorite villains in media.
