After 4 long years we get this garbage adaptation handed to us on a plate, I guess at this point I’m kinda numb to it, Tokyo ghoul, promised neverland, beserk, claymore, the list goes on & on, it’s a shame it really is, tog is my favourite manwha oat & I believe it’s one of the pioneers for Manwha’s getting anime adaptation it should get the love it deserves with a good studio & good animation but alas it is what it is, we can only hope things change if there’s even going to be a s3.

I realize humans don't like change, and if something isn't to the exact specifications you wanted and or slightly different from your expectations, it completely ruins it for you and you can't focus on the bright side. I mean I get it, I much preferred the style of season one too, but its been four years, things are bound to change. Be happy there was an adaptation in the first place and it didn't get postponed to oblivion like no game no life. Also the animation isn't actually bad at all, if the first season had the same style, I guarantee you'd think the animation's as good as ever.

it's not that he's complaining it's that he's trolling if you scroll down you will see a tread just like this one bashing season 2 just because they didn't like the animation. not only that but somehow people like this keep lowering the score after each episode even if the episode is good they just ignore it and say bad animation there for bad story it's getting annoying

No clue. Me and my friend personally think it’s alot better so far than the initial season. These same people don’t have the balls for calling shows like konosuba bad for a studio change as well.

It's because even if the studio changed for Konosuba, it didn't become a pile of disappointment. How hard is it to understand that? Studio changes do happen and it's quite common nowadays but people don't mind it as long as they are actually putting effort and are trying make it as good as the sequels. You don't see that for ToG s2.

i completely agree with you i mean if there's anything i have to thank crunchyroll but it seems like i can't bcoz they have decreased the animation quality and one more thing is why did wit studio drop this if they had continued with correct pacing it would be definitely something huge like aot current studio is fine with the pacing but not with the animation it is one of the mid animations i have seen so far

Despite your statements i personally believe that the story is just on the same level as the initial season and the studio change doesn’t bother me one bit.

One punch man was in a very similiar state so was overlord? Did i enjoy the shows less? no. Because it’s not noticable.

The rising of the shield hero had the same very thing happen to it. Now that one was terrible it involved alot of fighting but the studio couldn’t deliver.

Why are people complaining about the tog sequal’s animation? It’s leagues better then your average studio and the animation is actually good.

Which is also why it’s such a disgrace of you to call the studio straight out bad. Did you even watch some of the fighting scenes? Compare that to the rising of shield hero season 2 and tell me it’s bad to my face and they aren’t putting alot of effort into this.

I’m actually interested and since nobody is saying, so, to all the "non-haters" can you actually explain to us "haters" what you hate so much about the adaptation? What have they got so wrong from the source material? Or is this just a case of "the rising of the shield hero" S2 and "That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime" S3?

I don’t want to hear about animation because that’s a subjective thing, I agree the style looked cooler in S1 but the animation quality isn’t bad in S2

Season 2 feels underwhelming compared to the first. S1 was packed with thrilling fights, character development, and stunning scenery that drew me in. Unfortunately, S2 doesn't deliver the same impact. The art style has become generic, and the characters lack depth, blending into one another without leaving much of an impression. The pacing is painfully slow, and so far, even though the manhwa readers say it's how it should be, very little of significance has happened - all the random characters, who are significant in the future, advanced to the next floor. Yeey! The only intriguing moment was at the beginning, when Bam transformed into Viole, but since then, the excitement has fizzled out..

I've never watched Shield Hero or Slime so I dunno what's up with that, but I'll answer your question. Other than the art style and animation, my problems with this season:

- Directing. So many awkward camera angles. And what is up with all the close-up face shots? The camera pans on the characters' faces so often that it's distracting and an obvious way of cutting corners, from having to draw other things out.
- Rushed pacing. Episodes 1 and 5 were fine, 2 was passable, but 3-4 were horrible. Episode 4, especially. Even as a manhwa reader, I had to go back to understand what the heck was happening. And they somehow excluded the most fucking important part of the game - the conclusion. The explanation of how Wangnan's team passed despite him giving Viole the connector. No one in their right mind would exclude that.
- Numerous character interactions were cut that makes you care more about the characters and understanding their personalities/views. Some people might not think it matters, but the cut parts add up and the slice-of-life portions play a big part in what makes this season of Tower of God, in particular, so great. Also, a lot of the dialogues that were cut were a baseline that build up to dialogues that were included in the anime, so some conversations the characters have in the anime feel so unnatural and out-of-nowhere.
- Passion. It feels like they're adapting things by going through checklists of what to adapt instead of actually putting effort and care into what they're adapting. Quick example, in episode 5 when Noverick tells Dan to not do "that" or Khun will cut his fingers...uhhh, not do what? In the manhwa, Dan was wiggling his fingers like as if insinuating that Khun and Rachel have romantic relations, but in the anime, he didn't do that. What the heck? So many weird changes/omissions, even in the smallest details, that makes some part not make much sense and obvious there's no one looking or caring about these errors. Also, minimal character outfit changes in the anime when there are a lot in the manhwa that highlight the little quirks of the characters.

I CARE about their opinion. I care about hearing all these opinions especially when I hear many people saying "it's better than last season" when I feel the exact opposite. Helps confirm I'm not insane and it's fun to find people that share your same feelings and opinions on things (that's one reason why we have forums in the first place).

This season is so bad. I'm having more fun watching this season's random isekei that should have had a way lesser budget and uses shitty CGI. The season's just a let down. After 4 years, who would have expected this? Well I guess I should now. From now on, whenever an anime takes 4 years for a new season I'll keep my expectations low.

The real issue isn't even the animation which is still by all means unappealing, it's the directing that is absolute garbage. The new director (absolute newbie) has no sense of breathing room when it comes to spamming Kevin Penkin OSTs 24/7 and this is something that everybody should notice cause seemingly quite scenes would have this loud music for no damn reason. This hurts getting immersed into the plot structure since we're erasing the atmosphere build up to get there. It is also laughable to see how disjointed his episode 4 came out to be with his storyboards, if it were any other director they would have demanded a retake for almost every single cut.

TOG S2 is a complete downgrade in every aspect and while TOG S1 had its faults, there was at least an attempt at creating an atmosphere with it's art direction, selective use of Kevin Penkin's soundtrack, and even competent animation staff that knew their limits and strengths. TOG S2 just completely decimates that in a way that just moves the plot forward with little care to the atmosphere of TOG, a lifeless project on the level of fan work with subpar layouts, awful animation corrections, bland color designs, mediocre use of the soundtrack, sound design, voice acting direction, blah blah blah.

I read the manhwa until some point in the second season. The first season cut out a lot of material but had its own good atmosphere and nice animation. Direction and using music was good. This season is just bad. If this is the level, I think there is no point in counting too much on next seasons. Due to this adaptation, the manwha lost all its charm. Everything is stiff and unfinished. Animation sometimes looks like slides.

I was hoping that after so many years it would be better, but it is several levels worse. This is very sad, because this particular series deserves solid performance

If I were to describe this season, I would use the words: zero commitment and passion in creating this project. in the first season there was more commitment. You can't see it here. It looks as if they treated it as an average series that you need to do, to have peace and a paycheck and that's it

I always find it hilarious to read the comments of the people defending the so called "haters and complainers". Their reasoning and arguments are beyond stupid which makes them sound more like crybabies than the ones making the threads.

if for the love of God, you can't see that there's something wrong with the production which has no passion and is just getting adapted with no second thoughts. The direction is an absolute mess, the animation is mediocre/bad, art style is generic and the only thing that is incredibly good is the soundtrack.

No one is hating on TOG itself. It is the studio and the staff that are clearly ruining it. I also was very hyped when I saw the first episode, but everything downgraded after that.

And for the people who wanna see Urek vs Bam in a much better animation and quality, look at the trailer for the mobile game.

I’m kinda mixed on it so far. The pacing is still a bit fast, but it’s better than season 1. The animation sadly has been lacking. There’s some good scenes, but they’re too few. I do appreciate that they didn’t censor it a lot. I’m on episode 8 and they’re already starting the Workshop arc. I really REALLY hope the rumors about it being 20ish episodes are true, because the score will plummet if it’s still 12 or 13 episodes.

I am mixed because the story is being told better, but the action scenes are gutted pretty hard for the most part.
