THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
This episode is Ban's chance to take revenge for everything Melascula has done against them. She also revealed her true snake form!

Not going to lie though, Hawk's bravery made me smile. A really noticable part this episode imo of the episode is Melidas awakening his true demon form. Truly a sight to behold when he takes on Escanor. Elaine also came to the battlefield because of course, she's not going to just sit back and do nothing. Respect. This seems fitting for a mid-season episode considering the monster they just fought against together.

KajiKaji's character heard what princess did.

Titan girl regained conscious and knew what she did.

It seems like princess knows young Sakamoto-san's character.

That lady appeared in front of them, and changed form.

Suzuki-san's character is the first target and his girlfriend (& FukuJun's character's sister) fights to save him.

KajiKaji's character finally was able to escape from sphere. Sugita-san's character went to face him.

When that snake was about to run away, Suzuki-san's chracter face her, but got her poisonous attack. Princess undid the poison. Titan girl and FukuJun's character also face her.

Fairy girl wanting to end the enemy, which means herself, too.

Sugita-san's character vs. KajiKaji's character continues.

Barrier cube this time.

January 8 next (of course, there's no regular shows on new year), with New OP and ED!! (very excited about new OP)

Some of the Ban / Elaine stuff was ok, and the OST choices were good. Melascula also looked better this episode. But that's the end of the positives. The pacing of this episode was awful, Meliodas vs Escanor started, and ended at a really weird point. The animation was awful, the art was awful. In all honesty, the fan animation is far far more enjoyable than this. Unless for some reason episode 13's animation is vastly superior, this fight is ruined. If you don't, please, go read the manga from the start of this season (197). I'm just disappointed.

I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me, but this season apparently cemented itself as comedy of the year.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

The animation in this episode was beyond bad, it was just... sad.
It supposed to be the best fight in this season and ended being garbage, they are not even trying to do it right
I'm really hoping the next episode will have better animation, at least a decent one

Even I who have been protecting and defending the reputation of this season can't defend this episode. This episode had a few good scenes, but mostly it was really bad stuff. This also was the first episode were the pacing felt completely off to me. I still hope this episodes budget was dropped this abysmally low was because next episode is gonna have (hopefully) the best animation in this season. Considering that the bulk of the fight is happening next episode.

What was this ? Is this an off season April fool joke or something ?...

I must say I actually enjoyed it in an hilarious way holy shit this was bad, 'Deen' clearly doesn't give a shit I mean even 'Lerche' manage to take fight animation seriously in 'Radiant', a manga that doesn't even sells as much as NnT for God sake.

Was waiting all days for this specifical episode and...BRUH, hopefully next one won't gonna be this level bad lmao.

I'm still on episode 3, but i saw some parts of this episode that i was waiting, since Escanor v Meliodas is the best fight in the manga.

Lmao, i was asking myself if they would ruin it like A-1 ruined Escanor v Estarossa in season 2 well... it's like 10 time worse.

Now i really wanna see how can SOMEONE defend this show. Really, even anime-only people.

Please do read the manga (from 197, if not earlier). There's the fan animation but also a coloured manga version of the fight too, both of which are better than the real thing.

Well, it seems they wanted to make a tribute to the 5th episode of Dragon Ball Super with the Meliodas vs Escanor fight. Fortunately, I thought it was going to be bad after seeing how this season has been for the moment, so I'm not very disappointed.

Also, farewell, Melascula, you were one of my favorites of the Commandments, but you had to lose, like every supporting antagonist ever. Was fun having you in the series while it lasted.

Guys, it's not even studio Deen adapting this. It's 100% outsourced to a no name studio called Marvy Jack. And for those that don't know, Marvy Jack did... the entirety of Junji Ito Collection for DEEN. This was bound to happen the moment Aniplex bailed from the production committee and yet they still decided to go ahead with another season 1 year after the second one ended. Still this is beyond what I imagined, fan animation are legitimately better than this garbage. Please for the love of god stop watching this anime.

Holy shit. This is ridiculous. I actually enjoyed the Meliodas vs Escanor fight thoroughly. What an enjoyable fight! I've never experienced this sensation before.

So, arguably the best fight in the manga has been reduced to few chops, cloud of dust and a stab? Or the fight is not yet finished?

Dude what i see is when the frames are starting to become quick (mostly in a fight) the animation DROPS SO BAD.
The moment where Escanor called his Divine Axe Rhitta and when he walked to Meliodas was well animated! The music was also like a final battle theme it was such a good moment and hype. BUT THEN THE END. Havent they thought by their selfs that its bad? 9:27 was my fav moment it was so good. You really could see that Escanor had a destiny and that he was the only one who can stop him.

This is my sad farewell to this anime. In the beginning, I was full of joy watching the story begins, the characters in the previous seasons were more or less interesting with a funny and smart script. It got gradually worse until this season when I could barely keep my eyes open and not snore. But what made me so angry were those unnecessary dialogues (Deadly Poison, Neutralizing poison, etc.). Almost every simple scene had to be explained by a (beep,beep,beep, yes I'm cursing) sentence or word as if the audience is mentally challenged. What happened to this anime, why? Who cares.

Ya I've kind of been in denial about this season's animation quality but just comparing the fight scenes animation to season 2's, it's not even close. Really disappointed. Escanor vs Estarossa was one of the best anime fights ever but I have a feeling nobody is going to remember Escanor vs Meliodas because of the bad animation. One punch man all over again but even worse. 😢😢😢

Actually, when escanor jumps to get Rita, there are only 5 or 6 frames for the full jump and fall

Man the art and animation quality was worse than I could imagine, from the bad fight scenes to bad art quality smh. Deen made Escanor look like an average buff guy where as in last season and in the manga he has Broly level muscles. I don't usually rant about this but that was terrible to look at. It's even worse seeing how people loved this fight in the manga.

I've always been a fan of Nanatsu. I was looking forward to the new chapters of the anime and was excited to see how the story would continue. When they changed the animation studio, I had some doubts, but nothing serious. I was happy to continue enjoying Meliodas and company. When the new season started I was worried about the direction the series was taking, but it seemed to get better episode after episode. I was wrong. Very much so.

Everything about this episode is wrong. EVERYTHING. The animation was terrible, the worst I've ever seen; the sound effects were terrible, all the sound except the soundtrack, that was a 10; the episode progressed too slowly, we saw almost nothing. But the worst thing of all was the battle of Meliodas vs Escanor. I accidentally saw some spoilers on the internet and I already knew about the battle, so I had tremendous expectations of what it would be. They totally ruined it. The animation was totally lame, it looked like they took the panels from the manga, colored them and moved them around a little bit; they put in unsynchronized sound effects that totally take you out of the battle; everything was awful, the fight totally sucked.

I've never read a manga in my life. From now I am going to start reading Nanatsu no Taizai and from there I will move on to other works. Yes, I'm dropping Kamigami no Gekirin, I can't take this anymore. Goodbye, see you.
