Nanatsu no Taizai: Kamigami no Gekirin

After saving the Kingdom of Liones from the 10 Commandments, Meliodas and the Seven Deadly Sins are enjoying their time off. However, things aren't as peaceful as they seem, as the Sins are put through various trials to become strong enough to defeat the 10 Commandments and to overcome their past trauma.

With help from past figures, the Sins are tasked with defeating the 10 Commandments and putting an end to their evil plans that began ten thousand years ago. The Sins begin to uncover the truth about each other, as well as those who stood before them. With this knowledge in hand, the battle against the 10 Commandments has only just begun.

Nanatsu no Taizai: Kamigami no Gekirin continues to follow the Seven Deadly Sins and those that they meet on their journey. Through their adventures, they realize that their actions have had greater consequences on the present than they could have ever expected.

I don’t have much to say about this season.
Just like the first and second, it’s good—maybe slightly weaker—but still enjoyable overall. On the plus side, Elizabeth is a bit less annoying this time around, which is a nice improvement.

That said, like the previous seasons, it doesn’t quite reach the level of top-tier anime I’ve seen. It’s good, but it doesn’t hook me enough to binge 10 episodes in a day. My interest is there, but not that strong.

The story is alright. While the main theme seems to center around a love story—maybe not the best one out there—it does at least feel a bit different ... from the usual. It brings some emotional weight to the plot, even if it’s a bit overdone at times. So overall, it’s a decent continuation, but not something I’d call amazing.

Mixed Feelings

**Review of *Seven Deadly Sins* Season 3**

Season 3 of *Seven Deadly Sins* is a mixed bag that, unfortunately, leans more into disappointment than triumph. The series has had some great moments in the past, but by the end of this season, it’s clear that it has lost much of its magic.

One glaring issue is found in Episode 5. The narrative decision to have Elizabeth and Meliodas attempt to stop Ludociel from destroying Derieri and Monspeet doesn’t quite make sense. Given everything that’s happened with the Ten Commandments in Season 2, this sudden moral stance feels unearned. It’s baffling to see characters shift in such an ... unexpected way, especially considering the danger and chaos the Commandments have caused. There’s a disconnect in motivation that leaves viewers scratching their heads.

On the brighter side, Episode 7 finally delivers something rare in anime—real relationship progression. Seeing King and Diane together feels like a long-overdue breath of fresh air. Their relationship has been building up, and now, the series rewards the audience with meaningful development. It’s refreshing, and if more anime followed this example, we’d see less of the typical romantic tension that never quite pays off. The King and Diane moments are heartwarming and one of the few highlights of the season.

However, the good vibes are short-lived, as the season takes a nosedive with Episode 12. This episode is where things really start to unravel, not just in terms of plot but also in production quality. The animation feels like a relic of the '90s, with scenes that are more reminiscent of a PowerPoint presentation than modern anime. There are countless still shots, and characters speak without moving their mouths, giving off an amateur, low-budget vibe that’s jarring to witness. It’s a painful reminder of how far anime has come over the years, and this episode feels like a step back in every sense.

As much as I wanted to defend Season 3, it's hard to do so with so many glaring flaws. The potential for a great continuation was there, but it’s been undermined by weak storytelling and a clear drop in animation quality. All I can do is hope that Season 4 turns things around because it wouldn't take much to surpass this low point.

Nanatsu no Taizai: Kamigami no Gekirin

For a long time, I was afraid of this, I knew what was coming and that very knowledge only made my burden more difficult. A bad anime can be improved by magnificent animation. Fast pacing can always balance the flow of scenes, dynamic animation in harmony with the music, help distract the viewer from flaws and entertain elsewhere. But when an average anime is given deadly pacing and disastrous animation, it's no longer fun. And at the same time, this season has been animated better than the final season. Therefore, for those who have already had traumatic experiences here, stop. ... Finish reading the manga and don't watch the last season. What the studio did here is beyond comprehension. I have a feeling they merely produced this as a bad joke. A good example is that the blood constantly became "milk" or other such "FSK 18" substances. And then again in other scenes, there was a lot of blood. Blood censorship can be seen in just 50% of the scenes. Was this produced by 2 independent groups that have not consulted each other? Or was too much blood too difficult to censor? Why does demon blood turn white? Why does a giant vomit up 2 buckets of questionable white substances? And why is another demon lying in a perfectly normal pool of blood in the next scene? There are so many questions and so few answers.

So much said, I still have to say that the plot and character relationships are nevertheless decent enough to somehow make it through this season. Nanatsu No Taizai is still a simply average shounen. This season just suffers from studio problems, otherwise, it would have reached about the same quality standards as the previous ones. Unfortunately, the pacing here is very poor and the animations almost reach fanmade levels. By "almost" I mean that these reach a peak in the upcoming season.

[Story 5]

Here the rest of the plot is finally revealed, including Gowther's character background. And all of that is fine, it's nothing shockingly great, but that's what the series needed to prove itself. The backstory of the holy war, the connection between Meliodas and Elizabeth. Which, again, is a relatively interesting relationship whose problem became a good core point of a story. This approach is good, I just wish the whole thing had been implemented by a better writer and studio.

In the upcoming season, there is only minimal resolution, and only a few background stories of the antagonists are still open.

[Characters 5]

There is nothing new to say, the characters are the same as in the previous season, only that Meliodas slowly puts on more serious traits, which of course makes him more comprehensible. The rest of the season is devoted more to the relationships of the various couples.

I still find the opponents in Nanatsu no Taizai from the 10 Commandments relatively interesting. They have some wasted potential, but they are not blunt shells, which makes them seem more realistic. They are opponents, but only from the perspective of the protagonists. In their own right, they have their problems to deal with in this world and their burdens to bear.

[Animations 3 / Music 6]

I wouldn't say that the animations have hit rock bottom here, but they aren't far from it. There's no need to even mention why the series is also called "Seven Deadly Frames".

The intro was... bad, really bad. The visuals just seemed like a cheap character catalog that was turned over. The music was okay. The osts suffer significantly this season, unfortunately, because of the slow pacing and their mediocre placement. Otherwise, the anime is only slightly worse musically.


[Conclusion 3]


It hurts my heart to give such a low rating to an average series, but unfortunately pacing and animation are simply important factors. And this season lacked both of those without end. Since this season was supposed to be 70% fights, it makes it all the more tragic. If it were just a story-based season with better pacing, then it wouldn't matter at all.
Content-wise, I give the series a 5 out of 10 without a doubt, that's just what it is. But due to this massive drop in quality, there's nothing else that can be done.

Too bad, among the average shounen, Nanatsu no Taizai was one I relatively enjoyed watching, which makes this hurt all the more.
