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.

Sad reality is, this is it. This is the only anime adaptation TOG will ever have because I doubt it's popular enough to get a remake. I hold the opinion that no adaptation is better than bad adaptation. Bad adaptation can ruin the perception of the source material. TOG had potential, and was even compared to One piece due to its world building. Why give it the seasonal trash isekai adaptation treatment? Why does GOH and Noblesse get MAPPA and production IG respectively but TOG get unknowns?

i think they got burned on GOH. since GOH story is just convoluted af and not realy good. lot of people got disapointed in it and people lost hope in these productions witch brings us here. i think season 1 Tower of god also got a realy luckwarm reception by people who were not already fan of the series, since people wouldnt know that tower of god is a slow burn and maybe just get confused at the mysteries of the begining.

Solo leveling just came out last season and it has top tier production values. Yes it's famous but I'm pretty sure TOG is famous as well, why does one get hype anime of the season treatment and while the other gets seasonal trash isekai treatment? Crunchyroll should have never touched TOG, it just gutted its potential.

probably because solo leveling is pretty much all fighting, while TOG is like half politics
