Nanatsu no Taizai

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.

The Seven Deadly Sins is actually ✨your✨ thing if your eyes don't hurt with several ecchi and gags.¡BUT besides that! The show starts well and flows easily, taking all your attention piece by piece. (Almost) all main characters appear in this very first season and tell their background stories meanwhile the battles or other crucial points. The most important thing for you, as a watcher, is to bare some slow narration in the beginning + partly annoying MC's behavior considering poor Elizabeth.

The worldbuilding here is nothing special nor annoyingly common. It's fine and never bothers much. The author purposefully ignored all the idea ... with elves, dwarves, gnomes, orcs as no one already cares about that. There's only a few distinctive races, each of which play their storytelling and lore role in the future.

Magic is not restricted in power level, yet it's not infinite. It's pretty obvious who and why is a mighty warrior and who just stands on the back line. However, there's no silly power-ups or Nakama Bonds (Hi, my lovey Fairy Tail). If characters win, that's because they really possess a good weapon, years of battle experience or natural gift bound to their race. That's what makes the system decent and entertaining.

Graphics and animation are quite cool here, thus, it's pretty easy to get used to everything and enjoy the vibe. For example, I still can't forget first cool fights between Meliodas x Ban. They are actually funny and beautiful~~

As an other point, OPs really rock. Sure, later seasons bring up basic ≈pop or equal-genre songs, but firsts go nicely. They settle the necessary mood for a big heroic adventure which is always a little helping hand during the ≈100EPs show.

In the end, you should watch The Seven Deadly Sins if:
~ You love Fantasy setting.
~ Feel fine with long immersion in a hundred of EPs.
~ Don't mind some cute romance (though action and adventure are the main topics!)
~ Can bare silly ecchi/gags.

---
A little advice in advance: no ovas or movies are important to go. Feel completely free to binge only main story~~

Mixed Feelings

I think my love for this show is largely based on nostalgia, as it was the anime that really got me into the genre. While it wasn't my first anime—that would be Pokémon, followed by Glitter Force—it was the first one I recognized as anime, since I was older than five. It introduced me to shonen, and it sums up the genre well with its highs, lows, and quirky relationships, which I find charming and comforting. It's a guilty pleasure, and I believe it serves as a solid introduction to shonen for those new to anime. It's a good benchmark for comparing other anime—is it ... better or worse than The Seven Deadly Sins? The premise isn't overly complex or inventive, but the characters are solid and enjoyable, especially if you're building your anime journey. I realize that intermediate anime fans might find it boring, but I'd definitely recommend it to people looking to get into anime :)

Nanatsu No Taizai was one of my first animes I watched and thoroughly enjoyed because of the interesting characters, kind of unique power system (from what I had watched at the time), and interesting story. The reason I rate Nanatsu No Taizai so low though is because of the rampant pedophilia and other gross topics that were unneeded and completely ruined the story. It just kept getting more and more apparent with what the Author was okay with and why they added such gross age gaps or relationships in Nanatsu No Taizai in the first place, and the story isnt even worth powering through either. ... Its bland and decent at best, and it just keeps getting more boring the more you watch it imo
