7. Psycho-Pass

The first season of Psycho-Pass was made by Production I.G., a studio known for high-quality shows like Haikyuu!! and Eden of the East.

Tatsunoko Productions took over the production of the second season.

In the first season, the team was so exhausted and overworked that they had to contract episodes 17-18 out to another studio.

As a result, a lower quality than usual and forcing them to eventually remake the episodes.

Nevertheless, this change was not for the better.

The animation quality remained relatively stable, but the story itself took a nosedive.

The second season of Tow Ubukata, who took over for Gen Urobuchi, wasn’t that much and didn’t remember its own rules.

Would Production I.G have done a better job? Hard to say – but the quality definitely changed between the two series.

6. Hayate the Combat Butler

Hayate the Combat Butler has actually changed studios three times.

The original 52-episode by SynergySP, the second season by J.C. Staff, and the third and fourth by Manglobe.

The first season followed Kenjiro Hata’s manga loosely, while the second season ret-conned most of the events of that season and followed the manga closely.

The third and fourth seasons were both side stories based on minor characters that were written by Hata but not included in the manga.

If any more Hayate the Combat Butler is released, it will likely have to change hands once again, as Manglobe has since gone bankrupt.

5. Spice & Wolf

Spice & Wolf was originally animated by Imagin, a little-known anime studio with few titles to its name.

For its second season, Brain’s Base took over the animation, but many of the original staff stayed on board.

Major changes included Toshimitsu Kobayashi becoming the new chief animation director and character designer in lieu of Kazuya Kuroda, as well as a complete change in animation staff.

The voice actors and other roles remained the same.

Some feel that Season Two was a step down from Season One, but others have the opposite opinion.

4. Fairy Tail

Originally, A-1 Pictures and Satelight produced Fairy Tail.

After that, A-1 Pictures and Bridge produced the two sequels.

The reasons for this change were never confirmed, but there are significant differences between the first series and the two that came after.

These differences are many, but they boil down to a change in tone, character designs, and color palette, and in adherence to the manga.

Satelight’s season was brightly colored and light-hearted, while Bridge’s seasons are drawn with darker, more muted colors that underscore the more serious themes the seasons deal with.

Bridge is also more diligent about closely following the manga instead of relying on filler arcs.
