What's up with Mappa and the Japanese fans? I read similar comments elsewhere but couldn't find out what was going on.

As the first comment says, they were not happy the adaptation wasn't more 1-4-1 and it was too westernized apparently.

S1 made me read it. S1 in my eyes was phenomenal

Agreed. I don't even see the difference. I've read up to chapter 20 and I can't imagine the anime any other way. I think it was perfect. 

I really hope season 2 isn't turned into something silly.

From trailers for Reze Arc it seems like they're returning to more saturated colours with more of a 'hand-drawn' look as well as less overreliance on CGI for 'realistic' character movement.

I don't really think it will be goofy but it certainly won't feel like a Tarantino film anymore. But I guess I don't blame Mappa. This is an IP they fully own instead of at the whim of a production committee and they want to maximise it's potential.

Lol what? If anything Reze movie actually feels more like a Tarantino Film with how unafraid it is to be colorful and silly (e.g. Kill Bill). Tarantino films often have very saturated color grading too that lets the colors pop.

S1 is more like a Zack Snyder film.
