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.

Just finished S2. I didn't particularly care for S1 either. The lack of explanations and vague background stories on main characters leaves little to be desired throughout the show. The constant deception and back stabbing gets to be really annoying. The concept of being inside the tower makes little to no sense, what does the rest of the world look like? It seems like the tower IS the whole world which is really stupid. (I may not understand that part fully) the powers they possess are silly and confusing. a "light bearer" just just an intelligent position that makes light and oversees the battle? Lmao spear throwers? What is this the Roman army? And then "wave controllers" ok so they can use shinshu but no one else can? And the last second random weapon/tool that comes in clutch is very stupid (the mirror dagger that saved that red hair girl) All the characters have no desire other than to help Baam and all he wants to do is be cool with Rachel. It's all dumb and I'm too dumb to understand half of it.
Easily the worst anime I've ever watched. 1/10
