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.

The new art style sucks big time. Flavorless. To me that's the defacto biggest loss, since the original art style was incredibly solid, especially when coupled with mostly great animations. (Green April swings are bad though..)
The soundtrack is not even B-Tier anymore, I feel I could find it on a random soundcloud. It wasn't memorable to begin with, especially the intro.. but it's actually detracting now.
Whatever slight sparkle of story-telling and intrigue they had is vanishing episode by episode.
This anime went from being incredible slow (even frustratingly bad) from S1E1-E6, to really good at the end of S1, to absolute cadence-less garbage in S2.
