Episode 1
[spoiler]
Well, this was a fairly engaging start. Really enjoyed the episode despite the 'twist' of him being one of the deadly sins guys being predictable.
The pig was pretty awesome, and the huge pig at the end was even more awesome so I'm looking forward to seeing more of them as well ^^.

Ep 1
[spoiler]
Another fantasy action title to add to the list for this season. I've read the manga for this one as well and I have to say while it starts kinda slow, it gets much better/darker after a few more characters are introduced. I'm definitely not much of a fan of the main character though. I just dislike child and happy-go-lucky protagonists in general. As a fan of fantasy, this is definitely one of the better ones of the season though. Hopefully they keep the ecchi/fanservice to a low and focus more on the characters and the fights.

[spoiler]
Seems to be pretty spot-on in terms of following the manga. My only complaint would be visually the colors are just too bright and vibrant for this kind of show, especially considering the darker turns in takes in the future. I guess A-1 arn't ones for creating atmosphere though. Either way looking forward to seeing the other members of the Seven :D

Episode 2
[spoiler]
I'm loving the basic premise of this. A bunch of people traveling through a fantasy world looking for a bunch of other people is always fun and the show does a good job of making me curious about the other members.
The details are a little rough on the edges though. The drama with the boy felt fairly rushed and it was just silly how the villagers were tugging at the sword in a 90° angle. No matter how much force they apply this way, it's not gonna move, it's gonna break at best. Anybody should see that -.-.
The stuff with the spear was pretty badass though, nice way to end the episode.

[spoiler]
I have a feeling that Diane won't be my favorite character of the deadly sins, but I guess it's nice to have one member down. Additionally to the seven sins the members also seem to be tied to specific animals, it's gonna be interesting to find out what exactly that means.
So for now I'm just looking forward to more worldbuilding and stuff.

Indeed can't wait for Bam! He's by far my favorite of the Sins. He really breaks the harem-like pattern that we have been seeing so far. Much more interesting knight designs to come too! I don't think they really managed to capture the grittyness of the armors in the anime as they looks a bit too clean and polished though IMO.

Ep 5
[spoiler]
Yeah ofcourse, here are some examples of how detailed and "gritty" the armors look in the manga. I believe the author got a lot of inspiration from Berserk.
Elizabth when she first shows up
Seven deadly sins in their armor
Alioni, the first villain

These are all only from the first chapter, but you can get a good idea.

As for this episode, I agree it was pretty uneventful. Some light ecchi and typical shonen-protag being OP. We got to see a little of Bam in the flashback, but hopefully they'll show his full badassary in ep 6.

The armors really look great. Thanks for the pics battosai!

I hoped for more Ban this episode so I was kinda disappointed at first, but it was still a decent episode and in the end I got some Ban in the flashback so it's all good. Probably not the best episode but I still ended up enjoying it a lot which just shows how much I'm enjoying this show. My body is ready for a full Ban fight next episode (hopefully)!

This is way too enjoyable. I loved the reunion between Ban and Meliodas that casually smashed that magical barrier without them even noticing xD. Diane fawning over the serious expression of Meliodas made it even better. The little comedy bits at the end were also fun to watch, especially Ban's reaction to Hawk ^^. With some nice foreshadowing before the end of the episode I'm definitely looking forward to more.

Great to see Ban officially join the team XD he really changes up the dynamic. I really like the team in this state, I feel the characters really balance each other out like this this. Yeah Ban is just great in general, should definitely give him as much screen time as possible.

Wasn't expecting to see King so soon. I guess they really want to set up the characters as fast as possible. Anyway I liked how they did the backstory with Ban. I'm not super fond of King as a character, but hes alright and definitely one of the most powerful of the 7.

Kind of a filler-ish episode, but the one thing that was important is that they introduced Elizabeth's sister and her body guard and this was also in the manga. Not really much going on so I'll talk about how I much I enjoyed the last few episodes with Ban's backstory and how they showed it in small parts instead of all at once like in the manga. Much more effective emotionally. Hopefully everyone understands why Ban is my favorite character.

Yeah I have to agree Meliodas' power does feel really OP and without any really good justification. They still haven't gotten to explaining his origins/backstory in the manga so I really have a hard time sympathizing with him. Ban on the other hand had to suffer quite a good deal to obtain his power and honestly I just like his personality better lol. Either way another fun episode, not too much going on except being introduced to the new character Hauser.

Watching anime where you've read the manga always makes it hard for me to discuss things =/ since most of my posts are just speculation and it's hard to speculate when you know what going to happen. New OP wasn't too bad, I'm surprised this show is getting a decent budget, isn't A-1 working on like 6 shows this season? Anyway I'm not a huge fan of Gowther. They also introduced Guilla's little brother and gave her a little backstory and Diane got her hammer back awhile ago.

Some great action this ep. Diane shows her resilience against Dreyfus' attacks. He really is crazy powerful though, but should be expected of the great holy knight. Kinda sad that Jericho can't see the corruption of the holy knights, atleast Guilla gets what is going on though.

The sudden kidnapping and Meliodas ensuing rage were pretty intense and from there on the episode was just great. So much stuff happening all the time. Honestly, a bit of a slower pace wouldn't hurt the show but this way is fun in it's own right. Whoever that Arthur person is, I'm looking forward to the upcoming battle.

Helbram is a great villian I bet most people were not expecting that transformation, definitely didn't expect it when I read the manga. Although I don't like King much, he is definitely one of the most powerful of the 7 and he really cares about Diane.

Pretty much just the backstroy of King and Diane and the conclusion of the Helbram and King fight. Like I said before King is pretty OP and I don't care for him all that much. Apparently other manga readers don't agree though as he won first place for a character popularity contest.

Incase anyone was wondering what the top 5 were. 2. Ban 3. Gowther 4. Hendrickson and 5. Meliodas
