Kami no Tou: Ouji no Kikan

For someone who has been following the webtoon for a couple of years, the sudden announcing of season 2 has left me confused but also hyped because it was so far apart from the first season. Nevertheless, so far the start of season 2 has been great from my perspective, they are following the webtoon accordingly and the choices in terms of pacing are alright.

In terms of animation, I do agree with the consensus that the animation isn't as unique and fleshed out as season 1 but if that was the cut off for the series to continue being animated, I will happily watch it ... as it is now. The action so far has been well animated and we should be patient before we can judge it fully if it was well done or average.

In terms of character building, so far it has only been 3 epsiodes but they are clearly showing everyones motivations and aspirations with a few subtle hints here and there for us who have read the source material.

In terms of story, back when I read it the first time I was left with a lot of questions on why we completely changed settings but believe me, from here on out it only gets better and better. Consider that this anime season in the webtoon is season 2 which is drastically differenet from season 1 which is considered a prologue to the story. The direction behind Viole's character is one of the best things in this show for me and hopefully they do it justice.

Overall I will give this season(so far) 8/10 because the animation is alright and the story's adaption is being handled well and I will definitely follow this till the end.

I can only speak for myself: The first seasons animation was kinda weird at first but after 3-4 episodes I started to love it with the thought that it really suits tower of god but the new animation style is just common for slice of life animes or even worse compared to the slice of life animes these days. I hope they improve the animation - ofc I would wish the old one for myself back but I also do know that the manhwa also changed the art style between the seasons but it was a quality improvment and not, again it´s my opinion, a ... down grade.

Terrible drop in quality from first season! From the moment I started watching the second season I could tell something was really off, the animation has become extremy basic and lacks the character it had on the previous season. I was reading some reviews and saw some people praising the animation, but if you watch one of the episodes from the second season and one from the first right after you will be able to tell how bad it is. The story is incorporatinng new characters but all of them look and act so generic that is hard to get back into this show. Everything, ... from animation and voice acting to even soundtrack has had a tremendous drop in quality that has ruined the show for me. I can understand that not everyone was a fan of the unique animation of the first season, but it certainly gave the show a degree of uniqueness that has been taken away. The first season's animation was well polished and cohisive, making smooth trasintions that allowed for easy to watch scenes. Whereas as this season's animation looks cheap, clunky and the most basic it can. Kinda reminds me of every other average anime that comes out every season that ends up not fulfilling its full potential, and it is a shame because this show doesn't lack potential. The direction and character development has also been horrendous so far, with each and every character spewing the most standard dialogues lacking any feeling or depth. It's almost like you are listening small talk for more than half the episode, and if not, it's cliches that are not even funny and are not even pulled off properly. Now, some people say they must be saving the budget for the fight scenes, but if this is the case, the studio must be about to go under because all fighting scenes have been subpar at most and not that enjoyable.

Overall, this show has become another one of those average shows that has wasted the potential its plot had, another boring, basic anime getting pumped out for the studio's financial benefit that lacks love and dedication. Really sad to see.
