Second season my ass
Feh, just finished two shows in a row that seemed to end early, with their stories halfway finished. And you know how that goes, IF there is a second season, which is almost never guaranteed, it will be years off and you'll have forgotten the series by then. (AnimeChart CAN alert you to a next season, if they haven't renamed it too differently.)
"No Longer Allowed in Another World" crapped out with 5 of the 8 major opponents still kicking, and no clear plan, and this goofy coffin-car that makes it hard to take seriously. Also annoying to me is that with the addition of the kid sidekick, Tama has been demoted to pairing off with him all the time, and made sillier. It was fun at the start, but somehow it lost that. Although it still was good in that each defeated villain went a different way.
"Failure Frame: I Became the Strongest and Annihilated Everything With Low-Level Spells" also ran out of track halfway to the destination. They made it to the dark elf witch who would be able to translate the ancient spells needed to finish off the evil goddess, and that's where it ended. Not a bad looking dark elf witch either, for the whole minute she was on screen. It turned out to be a fairly average example of the genre, and free from the protagonist rules-lawyering his powers into something greater than they were.
While I'm at it.
"Bye Bye Earth" got nowhere except setting up a potential pairing for Belle.
"The Ossan Newbie Adventurer, Trained to Death by the Most Powerful Party, Became Invincible" was pure Shonen trash, complete with tournament arc and obtaining the first Dragon Ball expy. The dark elf girl was wallpaper.
"My wife has no expressions" ended up kind of trite. With very little in the way of challenges to the relationship, and not a lot of thought or introspection on Takuma's part. Plus way too much of the annoying baby robot.
Ririsa is still going. I stopped watching Suicide Squad halfway though. I pulled down the new Monogatari series and added that to the huge unwatched Monogatari folder. NieR Automata is also stalled. So I can't say how badly any of those ended yet.

Huh, just found out there's a third season of Beastars scheduled for December. I didn't see it at first because it's on the OVA section of LiveChart.

I tried to watch the final episode of No Longer Allowed, and it was just a string of WTFs. The ugly new costumes, the sidelining of the girls, the presence of Space Dandy Wannabe, and a car right out of Wacky Races. Ugh.
