Is seasonal anime falling off in the back half a common phenomenon? (hexbear.net)

I find it easy to start anime but difficult to finish it. I've started several anime but they always seem to get boring a few episodes in. Is this a me problem or does seasonal anime have a massive drop in quality in the back end?

For example, Train to the End of the World is a pretty fun show but the last two episodes have been either boring or weird. Is this sort of falling off common in seasonal anime?

Anime endings are so rarely good.

Gainax had some crazy magic that made them create amazing endings running out of budget (Gunbuster b/w, Eva).

This is the exception though, most anime endings are at best mids.

Back in the day this was because mangas were ongoing so you'd get a thrown together anime ending.

Nowadays though, I couldn't tell you why.

Afaik the black/white in Gunbuster's episode 6 wasn't a budget thing but a stylistic choice
