The Worst Anime Sequels & Revivals To-Date

When it comes to sequels and revivals, anime tends to do one of two things; the industry will either lay a series to rest before its time or give thirty sequels to a series which shouldn't be touched.

With the anime industry growing increasingly saturated, it is hard to keep up with all the series which make comebacks. And, for plenty of fans, they are better off not knowing about their favorite franchise's return.

Like any other medium, anime has its low points. There are plenty of sequels and spinoffs which never should have been made, but alas - here we are. There are a long list of flubbed anime continuations out there, and it isn't just primetime shows that have been skewered. Fans refuse to acknowledge the sequels to series like Orphen, Last Exile, and more.

Still, lackluster sequels do tend to follow the industry's more popular series. Episodes will continued to be milked out of a story until there's nothing left to give. Franchises like Dragon Ball and Sword Art Online have been dragged through the mud thanks to their cash-grubbing sequels. If you even mention Tokyo Ghoul's latter episodes, some anime fans are liable to tape your mouth shut.

Here at ComicBook, we are counting down just some of the worst offenders of anime sequels and revivals. You can always give these shows a go if you'd like - just don't say that we didn't warn you.
