In a world similar to the European Middle Ages, the feared yet revered Holy Knights of Britannia use immensely powerful magic to protect the region of Britannia and its kingdoms. However, a small subset of the Knights supposedly betrayed their homeland and turned their blades against their comrades in an attempt to overthrow the ruler of Liones. They were defeated by the Holy Knights, but rumors continued to persist that these legendary knights, called the “Seven Deadly Sins,” were still alive. Ten years later, the Holy Knights themselves staged a coup d’état, and thus became the new, tyrannical rulers of the Kingdom of Liones.
Based on the best-selling manga series of the same name, Nanatsu no Taizai follows the adventures of Elizabeth, the third princess of the Kingdom of Liones, and her search for the Seven Deadly Sins. With their help, she endeavors to not only take back her kingdom from the Holy Knights, but to also seek justice in an unjust world.

***THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS***
My experience of this anime can be summed up by the word “meh”. I went into it hoping for a nice twist on the seven deadly sins being the good guys, and some awesome fight scenes, and ended up sorely disappointed. Sure, the characters are known by their sins, but rather than be actual embodiments of said sins, they were simply granted them as derogatory titles, so they fail to stand out as shounen manga characters in that department.
The characters don’t undergo any sort of development across the series, and for the most part are bland and boring. Ban is pretty fun read more

The funny thing about sins is that we all have it. As some part of us, there’s a sin in everyone. It’s simple really because they are natural human instincts. That’s hardly what Nanatsu no Taizai is about though. On the surface, the show seems to talk about the sins in their variety. But really, this series is more about a journey, one that has our heroes find those lost Sins. Like a classic adventure, Nanatsu no Taizai (The Seven Deadly Sins) crafts the extraordinary portrait of how a journey should be in such a fantasy world.
Let’s get something over with first. This series has read more

I just wrote a long ass review on this series, and I accidentally drop my laptap and it shut off before I even submitted it. -_- sigh, I’ll make this one shorter then. if this review felt lacking, its probably because I’m kinda burn out, after putting so much effort in the previous Nanatsu no Taizai review. So let’s begin for a second time now.
In late 2013, I read about 23 chapters of the manga and I wasn’t impress, don’t know if I was not in a good mood or not. fast forward in 2015, and the anime came, I wasn’t excited at all, read more

I’ve always wanted to review Nanatsu, but I just couldn’t give myself energy to do it. There’s a lot of wrong things in this piece, and to flesh out each of them is gonna take time – but I really need to. A lot of reviews on MAL just didn’t get to these points, so I’ll have to talk about them myself.
Nanatsu is your average shonen, with ALL the cliches you can expect to see (overpowered characters, tits, superpowers, power of friendship and shit). But not only shonen cliches, also medieval story cliches: unbelievably unbreakable swords, giant monsters everywhere, kingdoms and knights, games of power read more
