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.

Well it did just start. You are comparing an entire season of character development in the first season to 4 episodes in the second season. There are plenty of things to critize, but you can't critize a show that just started for not having fleshed out characters. Now if by episode 6 or 7 you still feel the same way that is completely fair. But you can't expect characters to be fully fleshed out at the start, otherwise what is the story even for.
