| Giving me slight Arifureta vibes...maybe the protag is a little less sociopathic though |
| Episode 1 Fate was dealt quite a bad hand there, and it doesn't help that he's resorting to working for guys who are Holy Knights in name only as Rafale, Hado, and Memil are all giving the Holy Knights a bad name. It's a great thing that Roxy is not like them at all as she has been looking after Fate's well-being. And then Fate's secret power awakens as he can hear the inner-thoughts of others, and once he got his sword Greed, he's a formidable fighter. Not a bad start, but it doesn't do anything to stand out, especially when Fate is dealing with a bunch of sociopathic creeps like the Vlerick siblings, as well as that kidnapper at the end that in the past Fate would have ignored, but with Gluttony activated, he knows that this guy is dangerous and he needs to do something about that guy. |
| Our delivery of shonen cringe as arrived. I'd be more impressed if he actually had to eat people to boost his stats. |
| Grimdark Fantasy has entered the chat. So this is basically My Lousy Skill Keeps Me At Level One, But It's Really An OP Skill That I Can't Tell Anyone About (And BTW This Is Not An Iskekai It Will Just Remind You Of One). Still not sure if he takes the skills from people/monsters he kills. If he does then what the heck is a guy with mind reading and appraisal doing breaking into places when his skills were tailor made to be a con-man? |

| So, it's another generic fantasy world that inexplicably has game mechanics. It looks passable so far, but I don't have high expectations. |
| Episode 2 And it makes sense now why this show is called Berserk of Gluttony as whenever Fate's hunger is at its limit, his eyes glow read, and he needs to slay monsters to feed it. In the meantime, the Vlericks show just how much they disgrace the name of the Holy Knights as Hado sends a guy to abduct Sahara, but thanks to Fate he was able to free her. And then Roxy reveals that his father died on a quest, and needs Fate to fill in for him. This episode focuses on Fate's abilities and limitations as it goes to show that having extreme hunger is the worst possible thing. |
| So once a week he needs to depopulate a small town. Better hope the monster spawn rates keep up. Are the nuns really going to go "Oh sweet, goblin ears!" or are they going to go "Oh God, a bag of ears?!"? |

| @runec Yeah either someone's going to recognize it as a gold mine or they're going to think they just got threatened with bloody murder. |

| Episode 3 The Holy Knights badly need reforming, but above all Fate needs to keep his emotions under control when his sword talks to him as that really got him into trouble. It's a good thing Roxy was there to cover for him when that happened. A simple apology should have been enough when Fate inadvertently shouted something that was directed at his sword, but the knight took it as an insult. And then the Vlerick siblings are bullying a poor kid who is just looking for his mother. Roxy is inspecting, though the said beast she's looking for happens to be Fate when he goes hungry as Fate needs to keep his hunger in check or else he will go berserk and there's no telling what he will do. |
| Is there a reason why *every* Holy Knight aside from Roxy is a prick? You'd think there would at least be 1 or 2 others that weren't total assholes. |
| This show, Kingdom Ruins, and Ragna Crimson all have terrible, one dimensional, bad guys |
| Cursive is the future. - Nate Bargatze |
| Ragna Crimson at least has Crimson, who is the Fun kind of Chaotic Evil |
| I'm having second thoughts about sticking with this show. Fate is painfully stupid. Needs more Roxy and less Fate. |
| Episode 4 And now, Fate visits Roxy's ailing mother Aisha, and it's easy to see why Roxy is not like the other Holy Knights as growing up without her father made her needing to work harder to get her positioni. Then Kobolds attack and it took more than Fate's Gluttony ability to slay that beast. So after Aisha gives Fate her blessing, Roxy is assigned to go to Galia, which Fate knows is a trap orchestrated by the Vlerick siblings. And with Hado going on a hunt to tade down Corpse, which is Fate's moniker when he's activating Gluttony, things are now getting personal. |
| Hurry up and frenzy already. I want to see him wipe out several city blocks before Roxy kills him. |
| Those sword transformations are so stupid looking. I'll be shocked if the sword doesn't eventually become some kind of armor. Then again I doubt I'll still be watching if it ever gets to that point. |
| Cursive is the future. - Nate Bargatze |
| Of course it's a scythe. Gotta be 100% maximum edgelord. Why did he waste his stats using the bow special attack on the knight when he could have just run him through like he did anyway? |
| Am I wrong for wanting to see a scene of Hado's siblings reacting when they found his dismembered corpse. I would like to laugh at their stupid faces when that moment happened. |

| @Greylurker I kind of wonder if they won't even care Who exactly is overseeing these Holy Knights anyway? |

Episode 6
Oh look -- a butterfly.
Oh look -- a butterfly.
| @marklebid Yeah, something wrong with that kid. So he's gotten ahead of Roxy....now what? |
| THis show gets worse and worse each episode. I thought it might actually be decent in the first couple episodes. WTF was with resolving the cliff hangar from last episode in the first 2 minutes f this one then just flitting off? Horrible direction even for a horrible story runec said: So he's gotten ahead of Roxy....now what? Who knows...apparently after brutally murdering that other guy he's going to shy away from confronting the Holy Knights who make SAO villains look reasonable |
| Grandpa has to know about Greed otherwise Grandpa is surprisingly chill with how massively suspicious Fate is. Still waiting on Lust to show up and really elevate this show on the trash heap. |
| She's right. Resetting his stats there was mind numbingly stupid. |
| Soooo....exactly how does she level up Lust? |
| Sure, we've had one skull faced edgelord. But what about second skull faced edgelord? |
| Just finished binging this whole series. The worldbuilding is much better than I expected of an anime of this type. I'm actually rather intrigued about how the Deadly Sin skills and weapons' lore and specific interactions, as well as the world before and what could have possibly created their goddess and caused her to create the Skills system. The characters, however, are NOT this anime's strong suit. The villains are cartoonishly evil, "Roxy-sama" is a cartoonishly pure love interest, and Fate is a cartoonishly dense protag. |
| Didn't she say she was going to sent him to jail if she beat him? She just let him walk away without actually solving her problem with him. I like how fast we went from "How do I reach the Domain of E?" to "Reaching the Domain of E was actually super easy". He should have just revealed himself when he first got there. It never seemed like he had that good of a reason to be hiding his identity from her in the first place. |
| That was the big finale? Really? "You've found your support" Oh, so now as love as he has his waifu he can keep a lid on Gluttony- "Glutton wants to eat your waifu's soul" Ah, well then. 5/10 |
| It was... okay. I kept expecting Fate to go berserk on people as his gluttony got worse, but he kept it under control. All that angst about the gluttony doesn't seem justified now. If there's a sequel, I'm not sure I'd watch it. 5/10 |
| That was it? this series was cruising to a 5/10 anyway, but that "ending cements it. |
