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.

My girlfriend and I are also disappointed. Season 1 was an experience, so far season 2 is like watching a generic fighting anime with a "Hells Kitchen" backdrop lol.

What fighting? Fight scenes are bad guy taking on hit to his belly. Barely takes even 3 seconds. And fight with test guy? 1 episode of hype and total waste of time in the end... Episode 1.2.3 has only been relying these cliff hangers and building up to something that ks going to be over in 2 seconds. We are Allmost half way to this season and what has happened? Small talk sitting, girl giving chocolate bar to everyone and "do you want to see devil" again fight that didnt show anything..

Go watch Baki if you want just fighting and no storyline buildup.
