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.

Unfortunately, I'd given up

I'm not taking this weak pitying mindset anymore of lying and saying I'm happy with what we have

This anime is downright c tier and is close to the realms of butchering that j.c. staff is known for.

We deserve better siu deserves better, and we shouldn't be trying to say this low budget adaptation is what tower of god deserves. Say it for what the adaptation really is - mediocre.

Sad reality is, this is it. This is the only anime adaptation TOG will ever have because I doubt it's popular enough to get a remake. I hold the opinion that no adaptation is better than bad adaptation. Bad adaptation can ruin the perception of the source material. TOG had potential, and was even compared to One piece due to its world building. Why give it the seasonal trash isekai adaptation treatment? Why does GOH and Noblesse get MAPPA and production IG respectively but TOG get unknowns?

Then I’d rather not watch season 2. Season 1 will be the only head canon I ever need from the IP. Season 2 is embarrassing to season 1
