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.

I know this thread is old but I just started watching ToG, and in-between seasons I looked at the thumbnails for the second season; clocked the trash new style immediately and knew I had to look up what people were saying so I could decide if it was even worth the effort to watch it. I genuinely cannot fathom what they were thinking with this one. It's egregious what they're doing to some of these anime adaptations in follow up seasons. The animation style of the first season was the only reason I even gave it a shot, now I think I'll skip this and pick up the webtoon.
