i have been looking for new anime and i keep seeing nanatsu no taizai popping up. Everytime i read the summary it seems boring to me. But because so many people like it i might give it a try. anyway my question is: do you recommend me watching it and why? people say it looks like akame ga kill or fairy tail and i disliked both of those. is it good for someone whos 21 years old?

You can describe Nanatsu no Taizai in any word but 'boring'. It is probably one of the best adventure shows I've seen lately. The premise might sound like AGK or Fairy Tail but once it develops, it's definitely different, in a good way. The characters are pretty fun, so is the story in general imo.

It's definitely much better than Akame Ga Kill. Nanatsu no Taizai doesn't have the best plot or characters but the show is really enjoyable. I like the atmosphere of the show too - it's lighthearted but can get dark at times. And I really like the relationship between the characters.
For you, I don't think I can judge if you'd like it because of your age. Some older people like shows aimed at kids, some younger people like mature shows. Since we have similar taste, you probably would enjoy NNT.

I haven't seen it either -- and personally I also think from what I've heard and the synopsis it's probably terrible

but if you try it out and find out otherwise let me know

After all I was quite surprised with Hitsugi no Chaika (really didn't expect much of that) but it was a pretty solid watch

hmm then i guess i will watch the first episode to try it out and if i dont like the first ep i wont force myself to watch more. I think im done watching anime aimed at kids since i disliked the last few anime i watched aimed at a younger audience.

I'm 21 and yeah it's great so far. The characters are OP but they struggle too during battles. If I can describe Nanatsu to Taizai it's more of a mature Fairy Tail with One Piece kind of atmosphere feeling to it without the nakama powers. Have only watch the anime though, will read the manga when I feel like it.

is a slightly improved fairy tail

also if you don't like cliches this is not the anime for you this is pretty much a collection of cliches

Nanatsu No Taizai is a great shonen action/adventure. It's very simmilar to Fairy Tail in many ways such as the comedy, ecchi, adventure aspect and characters; however , Nanatsu No Taizai wins with the story. Unlike Fairy Tail where the only real plot line is Natsu finding his dragon father and then random self contained arcs that start and finish within 30 episodes, Nanatsu No Taizai has it's plot planned out well in advance. There is a lot of foreshadowing and backstory to each character which makes this so much better.

If you think by reading the synopsis that this anime is about searching for these Seven Deadly Sins and then stopping some war and that's all there is to it, then you're wrong. This anime is amazing and definitely worth a shot at watching.

It's your typical Shounen. If you hate all the love/friendship drama and little to no deaths then it's not your cup of tea. If you just wanna have fun, then yeah.

Nanatsu no Taizai is going very well. It has some similarities to Fairy Tail but is a lot better (In fact I hated FT). The plot is pretty good too.

I think it's pretty good though I wouldn't say it's amazing...yet.

It's a lot like Akame ga Kill in a way that the good guys are portrayed as the bad guys the main difference being that AGK kills off a lot of characters while in NNT, most of the characters have been fairly safe due to the absurd amount of plot armor in the show. Akame ga Kill tended to be more serious (most of the time at least) while NNT has been, for the most part, fairly silly but still entertaining.

I'd give it a 7.5/10 so far though that might change.

I would not recommend the anime if you want the true experience of Nanatsu no Taizai. If you want some enjoyment, then sure, watch the anime. But if you want something good, read the manga. The animation is subpar when compared to the art style in the manga (The fights are done better too) and the pacing is too fast (They're adapting 100 chapters of the manga into 24 eps, so yeah. That's expected).

Taizai does the "good guys" portrayed as bad guys thing like Akame ga Kill. The difference is though, Taizai doesn't foucs only on that. It's just the first saga, Taizai actually focus on a Holy War of some sort. The villains also aren't terribly written like in Akame ga Kill. It's better than Akame in every way, except for killing off incredibly generic characters.

Taizai is only similar to Fairy Tail to those who are ignorant of Arthurian Legends, British Literature and Celtic Mythology, which is actually Taizai's inspiration. I think it's a disgrace being compared to both Akame and Fairy Tail. It;s better than those in every way.

You should try this then.

It's not that terrible, still better than any airing shounen anime.

One of the best action anime in a while if you ask me. Great soundtrack, fantastic animation, fun characters... and there's blood, lots of it, so if that's a deciding factor then there you go.

I don't like fairy tail at all but I am really enjoying nanatsu no taizai.. I was put off by the echii jokes at first and they still aren't really my cup of tea but they are tolerable and don't get in the way of enjoyment.. It's a fun series to watch with lovable characters.. the pacing is a bit fast but it's not too bad. It's a bright series about friendship which I personally like these sort of series if the character interactions are done right and nnt manages to do it really good.

I think it's only really similar to fairy tail in the first ep of nnt and ft pilot are very similar but after that not really.. besides the echii jokes.. nnt has an actual structure and plot to it.

It keeps getting better. Really enjoyable.
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.

Its one of those popcorn worth series that you can watch for pure entertainment. If you're looking for deep characters and good well built plot then this series isn't for you.

It's not that far off from fairy tale just a bit better IMO.

The anime is rushing things (5+ chapters = 1 episode) which isn't what you should be doing. For example, the Byzel arc is what took NNT to another level, but the anime just made it off to be SSDD.

The manga is indeed, "really that great"; the anime however, isn't a meticulous adaption.

But that being said, it's still enjoyable.

Well this is just my own opinion but you asked for it.
It is indeed similar to Akame ga Kill where the good guys are portrayed as the bad guys, and is similar to fairy tail with its overall ambiance. That said I only started watching with low expectation and it surprised me, the story seems well thought, and much more engaging than fairly tail. The character's are packed with life and are a barrel of laughs. All in all you just got to give it a shot, although I do advise not having high expectations in the first few episodes, it gets way better, similar to hitman reborn.

It's fun enough and fills the hole decently if you're in need of a shonen show. I watch this and One Piece to get my weekly dose of adventure.

The plot is a little cliché but once it devlops it get very interesting.
It has :
- One of the best love stories in the manga's world.
- Cool characters.
- Epic OST.
- It's funny.

It's far better than Fairy Tail. Its first 150 Chapters are far better that the first 450 chapters of Fairy Tail (I personnaly don't know what would happen after chapter +483 so I don't tell it's totally better than FT)

You'll get addicted to the manga !

Honestly, I can't describe this anime as anything other than "generic."
And they managed to take it to an entirely new level of generic endings with... Yeah, the ending.

It's a better version of Fairy Tail, and that's really it. It got lots of shounen clichés and a stupidly OP MC, but atleast I found the cast more likeable.

The plot is pretty generic and isn't anything new but the characters add life to the series. There are moments when the characters, namely Elizabeth, Meliodas and the others can act stupidly and it can be frustratingly too shounen-esque in its delivery.

The love stories/ships feel sort of forced, depending on how you see it. I'm not a fan of any of the pairings, tbh.

My favorite character has to be the straight man which is the talking pig, Hawk.

Every man for himself i guess, i could barely finish it. In my humble opinion it is not one quarter as good as akame ga kill was. I found most of the characters utterly boring unlike agk and whats worser is this show is filled with long talks before fights and ironically it doesnt even courage to actually kill any main charavters. While agk in the other hand kills characters that are far more developed
