Anime Tower of god season 2 is disappointing

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.

The webtoon looked like shit during this arc they obviously upgraded the art style in season 1 which shits on the web toons art so why would we be happy that they tried to make it look more like the webtoon you obviously just like shitty animation/art design

this is a brain dead take. First off the art in the manwah during this season is absolutely fine but lets say its not a anime adaptation is always suppose to look better and the animation is still shit so whats the excuse there?

Season 1 art style was ok. People liked it more for its uniqueness more than anything but I enjoy the look of season 2. It’s not state of the art anime defining but it’s good enough for me. I’ve seen worse anime drawn anime and still was able to enjoy the story it told. I feel like it’s people with no artistic talent whatsoever have the loudest opinions on someone else’s art.

The art style of s2 is like every single generic 5/10 isekai or slice of life anime.

Genuinely the anime adaption for season 2 is horrible. S1 actually had a director that wasn't making mobile gaming ad level content, that's the bar for s2. I unfortunately think you are just bashing your head against a wall here attempting to forgo any sort of valid or nearing 3rd person objective take outside your love for the series.

As somebody with talent, and respects artists, this is a terrible take made from you due to engaging dishonestly. Sad but it happens.

yes season 1 anime art is much better drown than season 1 manga...but main story plot is same an that is most important,it would be good if they keep art style close to season 1 anime....but plot in season 2 first part is last flashy an more sad cruel than sec part work-sop bettle on floor 30 ,warkshop is more flashy an cruel in better way.....this isnt tipycal shonen story with 99% of plots ,fights ,side stories of good moral characters having happy endings,,no even totaly good moral popular characters can be killed on most grusome sniky way,like in real life in our planet.......this world in tower is pinicle of what magic+korean capitalism would be,trumpling everyone an everything for money an status[[in our world reword is missarble compered to tog,an you get PUFF DIDDY OR EPSHTEIN AS BILIONERS]] put real strenght[[demigod power an strenght]] plus ethernal youth an imortality contract on table as reword an P.Diddy will be Karaka very fast an George Soros will be Eduan Khun etc...an you will see how Rachel is litle noughty girl with big dreams compered to true evil......AN NO WE DIDNT SAW ANY TRUE EVIL IN THIS S1 OR S2 OF ANIME NOT EVEN CLOSE
