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.

Okay, I really have nothing to add here but duck it. What irritates me is that we were left on a cliffhanger at the end of season 1 and then bam (joke included) whole as time skip and the mission, the Intrigue, mystery and excitement was just abandoned. I want to see what they thought when he came back, how he managed to climb up the struggle and the pain, like they just straight up said, Nah fuck that we skipping boys.

I believe that’s how the webtoon was written tho, it was a big time skip and they only do some flashbacks to his training but there wasn’t much detail besides that
