Synopsis

The “Seven Deadly Sins”—a group of evil knights who conspired to overthrow the kingdom of Britannia—were said to have been eradicated by the Holy Knights, although some claim that they still live. Ten years later, the Holy Knights have staged a Coup d'état and assassinated the king, becoming the new, tyrannical rulers of the kingdom. Elizabeth, the king's only daughter, sets out on a journey to find the “Seven Deadly Sins,” and to enlist their help in taking back the kingdom.

ManiakJiggy This is How Movies Should Be Made
Protraph Lack of good storyline.
mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
thefamousman The anime is fantastic, the start is a bit strange at first, but you would love it later. The story is one of the best i have seen. The animation is decent. The thing i love most about it is the characters. Everyone of them is so special and different (especially the Main character). If you want a postitive anime with a great story, awesome fights and adventures, and last but not least funny moments, than thats what you are looking for.
Arnaud Classic shounen without any original content. The characters are so basic, a lot of events can be foreseen. The fan service is pretty awful too. Elizabeth just seem to not care when she's getting harassed by Meliodas. It could have been interesting if there was some dramatic scenes but ZERO PROTAGONIST died during the whole show ! Even Veronica who was supposed to be dead miraculously resurrected due to Elizabeth overpowered magic. A lot of important things like the sacred weapons are left unexplained. How did Ban get his nunchaku back ??? How can Gowther survive after he ( or she ? ) got his head chopped of ??? The only good character in my opinion is Hawk who brings some fun to the show. However some backstories are pretty well written but there are ruined by bad characters in my opinion. I also don't see the relation between the animal and the sins... Wrath with dragon, OK why not but greed with fox ? Anyway , I just feel that the whole universe is not credible... Way too much important things left unexplained and way too much clichés.
danielrice617 I love this anime series, one of the only actual good ones out there. I really hope they make a proper 2nd series. And maybe even a 3rd series. My favorite episode was when King remembered the days when him and Diane were living together because it was so adorable also how squeaky Diane's voice used to be was a bit shocking.
bio_enrico I have to point out right from the start that I've only watched the first 4 episodes and intend to watch the whole season or to the point that annoys me more than it manages entertain.Reading some of the other user reviews I saw that people get put off by the over-sexualisation of the main character, that doesn't bother me as much as the non responsiveness of the girl who's the victim of his groping. I just think having breasts and buttocks being copped merits a response, any response at all would be nice and would certainly add to the comedic effect. Some characters are to bland while the others are over the top but still they manage to be likable.The story is decent as far as I've seen. The story-telling is too fast though. Some reviews mention plot twists, but twisting a plot that hasn't been fully explained or haven't been given time to settle is wasted. Also I felt like the writers don't give us enough time to get immersed in the show's atmosphere before important plot points and new characters get introduced, that takes away from the importance of those moments.Fight scenes are crucial for this type of show, the ones I've seen so far are on the poor side. I truly expect them to get better as show progresses and things I figure should disappear or lessen considerably are: Scenes with series of unintelligible fast attacks. You know...when the two characters disappear and reappear in blurs and still images. That must've been cool when first seen but now just come of as lazy. Also characters shouting the names of the moves. So far the haven't explained anything about the source of the knights' power, maybe it doesn't matter, the names of the moves usually reflect the type of technique being used, the elemental power imbued or amount of power. Without any information regarding the source or kind of powers, tell me why I should care about that name.Conclusion: If you are addicted to TV shows as I am and you enjoy animes you should probably give it a chance. But if you are a hardcore anime fan looking for excellence, look elsewhere. I would compare it to Bleach, Seven Deadly Sins being a little more mature, or to the filler episodes of Naruto, with a less engaging background universe and more "freshness".
