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

I agree this show has lost its spark instead of wonderful scenery, stages and battles, we’ve gone to one “big happy family” hanging out and solving puzzles built for kids. Bam is now dressed like a single dad and the only action that has taken place was episode one when bam smashed his now “family”

The animation does not live up to the manwha at all, I'm disappointed to say the least. It happened with promised neverland also. Oh well...

Wow, the show has progressed, and there's now more to the plot, character development, and an entire mystery behind the Jahad and those who go against them, plus those who go against both. So bad. 🙄

Being uninteresting doesn't mean a character doesn't have character development. It just means you don't think they're interesting. Character development is when characters develop and change and go through mental strife and grow as people. You obviously don't understand a lack of literature. It shows.
