Line 20:
* Similarly, ''[[Macross 7]]'' took the idea of a song being the key to saving the world and ran as far and as fast with it as possible. The result is going from a sad, desperate struggle for humanity's survival to a rock star fighting space vampires with [[The Power of Rock]]. To be fair, the original Macross had a lot of silly moments as well, just not to the extent of Macross 7.
* The second season of ''[[Minami-ke]]'' is loathed by a significant percentage of the show's fanbase, caused mostly by the combination of low-budget animation and an increase in [[Fan Service]] to silly levels. Luckily, the third season met with a lot better reception.
* ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]] StrikerS'':
** It''StrikerS'' was a Contested Sequel even before it aired due to the [[Time Skip]] aging the nine-year-old main characters to adulthood; some were relieved that people might finally stop judging them for watching [[Lolicon]] bait, others saw it as an insult to the original. Later accusations came from the copious amounts of [[Demoted to Extra|screentime]] [[Spotlight-Stealing Squad|shafting]] resulting from the franchise's [[Loads and Loads of Characters]], the heavy reliance on the [[Expanded Universe]] to [[All There in the Manual|explain many minor events]], and the return to the slow pace of season one rather than a quick-moving plot like ''A's'' had.
** It appears that the people behind Nanoha noticed how splintered the fandom became as they're making money out of both factions. On one hand, they've released a lot of ''StrikerS'' side materials and created [[The Movie]] to make the first season more StrikerS-like. On the other hand, they started a whole new video game series which is an [[Alternate Continuity]] centered around ''A's'' where the heroines had yet to grow up and the phased out characters are still prominent (and playable).
** ''Force'' is a good example as well. A lot of fans dislike the new characters, the slow pace, the overall [[Darker and Edgier]] feeling, the somewhat questionable writing, and {{spoiler|Signum suffering the [[Worf Effect]].}}
* ''[[Naruto|Naruto Shippuden]]'' has become a Contested Sequel over time due to the [[Spotlight-Stealing Squad|focus put on Sasuke and the Uchiha Clan]].
* If it's a series of ''[[Digimon]]'' that's not ''[[Digimon Adventure]]'', it's a Contested Sequel.
Line 30:
* ''Bubblegum Crash'' is this for fans of the original ''[[Bubblegum Crisis]]'' series.
* ''[[Dragon Ball GT]]''.
