The second season of Tower of God has premiered on screens, bringing with it a wave of changes in the film industry and several other adaptations. Despite being one of the most popular anime of 2020, fans are left disappointed due to significant cuts made during production.
Unfortunately, this anime has not lived up to the expectations of many viewers who have been eagerly awaiting its release. Fans feel a sense of loss due to the key scenes that have been cut from the show.
One viewer commented after watching two episodes of the new season: “The animation, dialogue, and random cuts make it feel like trash. It’s too mediocre compared to Jujutsu Kaisen or Tower of God Season 1. We just need to read the manga to see what actually happened; the anime is just not doing it justice.”
“The latest episode has to be described as quite poor. The animation in this episode is genuinely disappointing. The scenes between Bam and Love should have been intense but instead felt utterly lacking. Budget cuts are evident, and it’s frustrating.” added another viewer.
Clearly, the negative feedback from viewers does not bode well for the remaining episodes. Historically, a new anime season often starts strong, only to struggle later due to tighter production schedules. The second season of Tower of God may be at risk of facing such a decline.
This is a symptom of a larger issue affecting many anime, where working conditions have become increasingly difficult. According to a survey conducted by the Japan Film and Anime Cultural Association, excessive workloads and strict deadlines are leading to a decline in quality.
Fans hope that Tower of God Season 2 will improve by the end of the season; otherwise, a significant potential may be wasted.
