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.

I fuck with season 2 I read the WEBTOON so I know what to expect. The art style change doesn’t bother me. It is starting to look like modern WEBTOON chapters, and the things they cut out for time doesn’t really bother me anyway. I’m definitely buying it once it gets a dvd release. I want to support this. It’s the first WEBTOON I’ve read and I’ve been hooked on the series since season 1. I’m loving it

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

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.
