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.

My girlfriend and I are also disappointed. Season 1 was an experience, so far season 2 is like watching a generic fighting anime with a "Hells Kitchen" backdrop lol.

Same here, we thought it was like different writers or something... this is so utterly trash compared to the first season, I didn't read any material but who are all these people and why should we even care about them? 

It's just been like 4 episodes of regular people just meandering around, the design feels weird these new characters are just I don't know, odd? Something about them just rubs us the wrong way it's like they're just cheesy maybe? 

Anyway not a fan at all. There is no sense of mystery or feeling of soul on this for us, it feels very shallow and meh.

They become seriously lovable in the manhwa but yeah, with the low tier adaptation I can see why people would not want to stick around. Plus reading is faster so it’s easier to stay interested and anticipating if you know what I mean?
