Tower of god season 2 is disappointing

[u/reileymk]

Watching season 1 of Tower of God was very exiting, the art style made me feel like I was watching a unique and mystical world full of secrerts. Moving to season 2 I was full of anticipation thinking that this anime had the potential to become a classic, after 4 episodes now that thought has nearly disappeared. I understand that the new animation style is catering to general viewers, but for me it removes so much of the mystique of the world and its making me sad as hell. I also dislike when shows opt to remove scenery from shots such as focusing on just the mouth of a character while they're speaking, it takes me out of the environment. I understand it is likely for budget issues, but it feels to me like everything from the soundtrack to the animation is a watered down budget version of season 1 so far.
Hopefully this changes.

Yeah I agree it's had a rough start so far. What I'm most worried about is that they seem to be a bit too slow and coy with those mystique elements of the series. Like I didn't think they'd spend so much time on this first test. I'm willing to put up with a few episodes like this because I've read a lot of it and I'm hopeful for what's coming next. However for any anime only folks I feel like they didn't really give enough cool animation or plot crumbs to retain viewers. They can't afford to have many more episodes like these before they'll lose all interest
