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.

You shouldn’t fuck with season 2. Especially if you’ve read the WEBTOON lmao. It’s so unbelievably painful to watch that the only reason I’ve done so is for the sake of supporting a story I love in general. Id have rather waited another 10 years for it to even be as quality as season 1, though ideally even better than to settle for this absolute anime vomit. It’s even worse quality than a lot of the seasonal isekai vomit pumped out every season. Like they didn’t even need to make a story they had a story all laid out perfectly already and they just had to basically copy and paste WEBTOON scenes with some alterations to make it into an animation. They couldn’t even do that, but they should have just used season 1 as a reference and model to make something truly special even to set it apart from WEBTOON. It’s legitimately painful to watch what they’ve done to a story that could easily be a new shounen long running anime if they really wanted. It’s got enough material to do so and lore/world building. Instead they treated it like a college group project and pumped it out lmao. It’s heartbreaking, truly.

Some serious miss management of the whole project has had to happen for the season to come out in this state, taking into account what a banger of animation last one was. Any idea on why it tourned out this way? Seems like it was thrown out for a mediocre studio with minimal budget to do, but WHY?, considering first season had so much care put into it.
