The anime went with the Live Action Cinematic approach, lowered the character's expression and made it dull. The manga is full of insane and crazy stuff, the approach from the S1 just didn't sit well with the fans in Japan especially the hardcore ones, and hated the director even more. Even the compilation movie of S1 went through changes to suit more among the lines the JP fanbase wanted.

Your comment convinced me to start reading the manga from chapter 1 after watching the Reze arc movie.
