THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Arthur's design looks alright. I'm expecting more of Vivian at this stage of the series though.

Is it also just me or does A-1 really focus a lot on Diane and her butt? LOL. Pretty good episode overall. Nice to see Gilthunder in action again although I feel bad for Diane.

lol~ the pig transported together and broke the door!! Pink hair guy released magical archeries to control their memory...

FukuJun's character released a black dog to transport. Titan girl is too big to put into its mouth. Lucky him, but because she's only there half body, she got attack.

Kimura-san's character, who falls in love with titan girl, is hesitated to attack her (and sort of helped her completely out with his tornado). While being mistaken because of the holy knights, she saved the brother of female holy knight who always close her eyes. Seems like Kimura-san's character and the female holy knight who always close her eyes betrayed the team in result.

Chibi holy knight leader alone.

Lol...me things that Meliodas and ban will kill Gowther if he ever uses that move on them!!! XD

Man I remember these parts making me cringe when I read the manga. Diane suffered too much T^T Poor girl. That was just too sad D:

Lots of nice fanservice shots for her though :P
And King got the first seat view for the goods :3 He didn't get to push though XD

And now she has Hauser and Guila on her side since they obviously see that shit's too unfair and fishy. I just don't know how people like that Jericho bitch. She's obnoxious <_<

Anyway, people who were complaining about the OPness of the Sins should be happy with this arc since they're gonna get REKT quite a bit.

Hawk being based was hilarious XD Knocking the door and the knight down like that XD

Arthur's voice was quite a surprise for me tbh ^^; Well I guess he's meant to feel that young. Nice cut and block he did on Hendy there.

Gowther's HAX ability introduced too lol

Are King's flashbacks coming soon >.< Can't friggin wait!

Read the manga. They are ending this before the start of an new Arc. And the manga is better than this anime. Anime is OK.

Hey "manga-only" people, if the anime's so bad according to you guys, why are you still watching it? Shouldn't you guys at least be some bit of happy that your manga's being adapted into an anime and they're doing an OK job, y'know, not completely rushing through it? Sure, they might skip some details and chapters, but I bet nobody would've watched this if this were an 1:1 adaption. Same goes for other adaptions; they would be boring if they were WAY too loyal to the original source material, and Lucky Star's a perfect example of this.

All dat Diane suffering ;__; and holy shit the animation quality dropped for this episode. Hope next EP's will look the same as the other episodes animation-wise.

We're watching the anime to see how they handle the adaptation of what we read, key word here is adaptation so you expect some degree of respect towards the events and overall story of the source material and yes they are in fact rushing it and skipping some things, if you read the manga you'd understand.

It's all A1's fault if the animation looks so shitty, they pick up tons of projects at the same time thus some of their shows get a very low budget and NNT is sadly one of them.
They could make up for it by having a much more faithful adaptation for the events of the manga but no they make it even worse.

if they keep covering 5 chapters per episode from now till episode 24 it should end perfectly with chapter 101 if you also include the special king flashback chapter, which is where the best ending would be imo, it's a shame they have rushed this series but it's not been a terrible adaptation, missing a few chapters sucks (3 total) but I'll take this over what happened to series like akame ga kill and tokyo ghoul.

as long as they keep following the manga and dont do anything stupid with an anime original ending then this will overall have been a good adaptation.

1:1 should be really boring. 3:1 would be perfect. But they're doing, 4, 5, 6, even 7 chapters per episode.

studio that makes Jojo's Bizarre Adventure knows how to handle an adaptation.

A-1 putting more effort into Diane's ass rather than some good animation. A-1 should stick to their slice of life anime and not touch a Shonen. Fights were done terribly compared to the manga, and too much derpy faces. I wonder why A-1 even picked this up, Madhouse would've done a much better job

Well this episode dashed what small hopes I may have had for a strong finish. I can only hope for some really well directed scenes that leave enough emotional impact to make up for lack of animation.

Yeah that was horrible. Whoever did that cut and the ones with Ban looking coked out needs a good kick in the ass.

That's such a tired argument. No, we aren't going to be happy with mediocrity. We're watching because we love NNT and there's no better fulfillment for a manga reader than seeing it animated. A-1 tries to act like they respect that by making their adaptations 'close enough', but skimping on important events and battles that leave you with half the impact the show could have made. It's typical A-1, they just did it with Magi. Of course, maybe asking it to be HxH(2011)-tier is a bit much, but like Drake said it's because they pick up so many projects that this shit happens. If they put in the amount of focus that adapting something like this requires to be a ''good adaptation'', then a few skipped things here and there can be overlooked.

And lol where do you get 'manga-only people' when those people are in fact watching the anime?

I swear, its like this anime picked up like crazy in the last few eps. Like the first few eps with just the pig, elizabeth and mel I barely even enjoyed the anime, then Diane and them came in and I sort of enjoyed it, but now I'm starting to enjoy is more than any anime this season, even the opening became boss.

Dreyfus is such a shameless bastard. Don't go all ''the Deadly Sin are the evil!'' when you're the one who killed your own brother... A fratricide is a terrible crime. And then framing it on the Deadly Sins? Now, you're just being an asshole.

But because of the Holy Knight stupid behaviors, two of their members have left the boat. Sure, 2 vs 4 is impossible, but Gowther is on its way. That will probably save them both.

PRAISE DIANE ASS. King probably had a loss blood this episode.

Great ep.

meliodas n friends vs holy knight's battle animation is kinda meh imo. Dat arthur kid sure is powerfull to take on Hendricksen lol.

Feel sad about poor diane getting rekt hard. Why do gowther's taking too long to arrive/help? And king didnt help even though he knows that diane is being attacked. Well, we knows that he cant, but atleast he should've done something.

As for preventing the sins from getting elizabeth, Maybe meliodas and ban will have to fight that magician girl with weird mask? Or they'll take on Hendricksen too? And maybe elizabeth will finally reunite with her sister margaret?

Gowther might arrive as well during guila/hauser defence and will help them. We finally get to see guilaxgowther ship lol

Damn i feel like 20mins per ep aint enough for the fights and plot development in this arc.

But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.
