I was incredibly confused for the first few episodes of season 2, at times questioning if I was even watching the right show. All the tonality of season 1 has been replaced with a very generic anime vibe. Season 1 was dark, strange, and had such an intensity to it. Season 2 feels like such a departure from that.
Yes the animation was very different, but I think more importantly was how different the show felt. The mystery of the tower gone. The suspense of everything trivialized. Felt like a completely different show.
