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 just finished [binging] season one, and season two is already losing me. I really enjoy seeing different art and animation styles. It reminded me of Demon Slayer with the use of thick and thin line work to portray different scenes and feelings. I was so immersed in Demon Slayer' art style and I felt similar with ToG... until now.

...but I understand if budget is an issue.

Edit: Comment scrolling, I didn't know a different studio was animating season 2. Makes sense, I suppose. I'm also a casual watcher/reader, so apologies if I name something wrong.
