Good ep.

The Meliodas vs Ban fight was good. Ban got rekt.
The Diane vs Hauser fight was meh.
Music was pretty good this ep too.

Yo what's up with these garbage shonen adaptations these days, and this series was extremely popular before it even got an anime, why would you ruin it's anime adaptation?


My guess is the studio. A-1 is pretty shit all around when it comes to adapting Shonen. If this was picked up by Toei, it probably would have had a longer more 'faithful' adaptation. At the cost of horrible animation, shitty soundtrack and ridiculous amounts of censorship. Seems like the only studio that tends to not go full retard when adapting manga is Madhouse.

In my opinion, this show should just replace Fairy Tail. Don't know why A-1 continues to run Fairy Tail, can't see the ratings being so great considering all the filler. At least this manga has more potential to be the next big Shonen than Fairy Tail.

Meliodas and Ban fighting was fun. Really liked how they went all out and Ban having forgotten Meliodas's trump card meaning that Ban wanted to finish it!

Diane's way of winning and turning the attack against the user as a smokescreen to break the rules xD

The Cain fight and the suspicion that was eased is quite interesting.

Ban inciting anger to make the final fight more interesting!

Ban vs Meliodas was just mindless fighting. They were fighting just for the love of it. They didn't hope to achieve anything from it. Yet I enjoyed its. Was kinda cool.

Well, going by the majority here, I guess they're starting to fuk up things. I'm not a manga reader so I don't know. Just hope it doesn't end up sucking. So far this anime has been quite entertaining.

I love this episode and i love this series very much. As anime only i don't feel like rushing, skipping so it's made well. I don't have to read Manga to know that Tokyo Ghule adaptation was garbage and was rushing skiping stuff (it was obvious) and Akame ga Gkill after 18/19 episode went total bulls*it.

So as for anime only this show i great, probably IMHO best shonen in recent years right now.

And personally, after I read manga I Never watch anime adaptation. Or maybe after many years. For me is masochistic to do that becouse adaptation is always worse in every aspect. + I know the story so is boring and waste of time 2 times reciving the same story.
3 setps to become Masochist:
1. Read source material
2. Watch anime adaptation
3. Suffer
Bonus Step: Tell everyone that anime is crap becouse Manga/Novel is better (duh..)

How to find the worst trash anime ever, so bad that people should be ashamed for even knowing this trash exist:
1. Check your favorite anime
2. Enjoy your shit taste pleb
Works everytime for everyone.

What a great fight between Meliodas and Ban. So at the end that's another one of the 7 Deadly Sins.
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30

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.

srs? still no subs? I've been looking forward to this episode ALL WEEK and THIS is the week subbers get lazy? smfh


I always watch the RAW first now, and watch the subbed later to see if my japanese IS actually improving :P

Maybe you should start doing something alike if you truly like this show as much.

While I am enjoying the series, it's definitely not enough that I'd remotely care about watching it raw, especially when I know virtually no Japanese and watching it raw feels like a spoiler. I was just really excited for the Meliodas vs Ban fight and HOLY SHIT IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT.

Not only was that fight awesome, but the entire episode was incredible. The action, the comedy, the character interactions - all gold. The best episode yet by far.

I'm not a manga reader but frankly I don't understand what there was to complain about in this episode. It was all fights, and that already made it seem slow paced even if it was an adaption of six chapters.

So they're skipping a bit so they can do all of arc 1 in the 24 eps they have whilst still keeping all the plot points they actually need. Better than an awkward cut off and a wait to get season 2, let's be real.

It just feels good man, it's an easy watch and isn't too preachy. The characters are mostly likeable too. Just an enjoyable series, I feel like they're doing nothing but wanting to give some light entertainment and that's great :D

Cool episode, the Ban/Meli fight more than made up for the rest of the tournament :3

Guyz I really recommend reading the manga. I really enjoyed the anime thus I started reading the manga...and Gowther's Arc is really cool but now they wanna skip it which is shit...Plus I don't see how they're gonna introduce him in this arc since in the manga he is not near bizel in the slightest, moreso in the battles.

Also trust me the battles in the manga were waaaay more epic...I was honestly expecting them to finish this run with the start of Gowther's Arc or maybe the end of it...that would have been a great finish and then have a new season for the infiltration arc.

Also I do not like :


Overall it was an ok episode, but considering the manga can't say I like the turn of events this is taking...
I am better than you.

FUCK YOU A-1 YOU DID IT AGAIN.

VERY RUSHED DISAPPOINTING EPISODE. My god the last episodes were doing fine and you butcher one of the best fights in this arc. Goodness gracious. The start of the tournament until chapter 50 was my favorite yet the adaptation didn't even reach half of the epicness the original scenes had. Even King vs Guila was better. I just hope the next episodes won't be as bad as this.

That was an awesome fight! I can't wait to find out what the mark on Meliodas's forehead means, I'm almost certain he's not a normal human. Diane vs Hauser was a lot shorter then the manga but it was still fun to watch.

Ban vs Meliodas was pretty badass, but I do think Meliodas is too OP without the show giving us any hint of an explanation for it. Ban is definitely the better and more fleshed out character between the two at this point.
I probably regret this post by now.

THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Interesting first meeting. Both are strong. It seemed like Suzuki-san's character got advantage, but KajiKaji's character won. Titan girl saw him somehow released the power to crime. Titan girl vs. Kimura-san's character. A green hair guy spotted, newly appeared member of Nanatsu no Taizai?! (I heard that the seiyuu who voiced him was Yuuhei Takagi)

Kimura-san's character using his wind/tornado power (lol @ Sukebe comments), and she used her power to win. KajiKaji's character vs. drunk old guy. Wait, he was also part of Nanatsu no Taizai?? He admitted loss because he heard that KajiKaji's character wanted to protect. Titan girl vs. KajiKaji's character next.

Inoue-san's character after obtaining power is different.

lol @ chibi preview part about Sukebe comment again.


Mother of confusion.. using the voice-actors' name instead of the characters' name.. Lol..

I just saw the raw version, Meliodas vs Ban wasn't as epic as it was in the manga, it was still good, maybe I would have felt for the fight better if Yasuharu Takanashi was the composer for this series instead of Hiroyuki Sawano, I swear, without vocals Hiroyuki Sawano can't compose for shit, his work is mediocre to shit at best, he's really overrated and the Seven Deadly Sins is a amazing manga and it deserves better music than what it's having.

The animation/artwork seem to have dropped in quality compare to the previous episodes, A-1 Pictures are just rushing through the series faster pacing than the manga.

I didn't care for Matrona(Diane) vs Hauser and Meliodas vs Cain.


Same feeling.. Sawano's quality has dropped in this anime.. His music also seems somewhat repetitive with all those drums and trumpets which I am hearing from SnK to Kill la Kill.. and then Aldnoah.Zero and now in this although A.Z's music was epic..


Well, they seem to have cut some details from the manga while adapting.. they are not even going to show us the Gowther's arc? o.O I had a feeling that the green haired fellow was Gowther.. what the actual fuck.. if they do skip on showing the Gowther arc, that means they are directly going to plunge into war? :/

Ban seemed to have the advantage with his Snatch and physical punches that made Full Counter useless.
However, when Meliodas enters Wrath mode, he's bound to win the fight.

Sadly enough, Hauser lost to Diane because she went seriously.
Also, Cain Barzad aka the Flame Barzad is from Danafor. He wants to confirm that Meliodas did nothing wrong.
And Meliodas did confirm his sin. He failed to protect his friends before so now he wants to protect them all.

Diane might win this tournament because of jealousy.
Meanwhile, Jericho is ready to test out her powers.
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling.

This is becoming more and more like Fairy Tail. Fanservice and overpowered protags, not to mention Meliodas' Vanish Counter that can negate any special attack, though it's still good as a mindless entertainment. And Hauser... I guess I was a bit overestimating him, didn't expect he got rekt easily by Diane. That heavy metal power! Ban reminds me of Hisoka and is still my favourite character so far, his fight vs Meliodas was intense.

Ban vs Meliodas was fucking epic. Some of those faces Ban made during the fight were sick.

Ban still remains the most badass character in this anime.

Great episode one of my favorite episodes so far.

9/10 seeing people complain about skipped content is starting to get really annoying. Quit comparing it to the manga and enjoy it for what it is.

Wrath Meliodas is crazy.

He's even more OP than Meliodas already is.

Hope we get to see Wrath Meliodas go all out against someone within the episodes left.

Would also like to see a backstory on Liz as well.

So glad I didn't read the manga before watching this cause I'm enjoying the shit out of this.

This Anime is pretty much original at this point......Here's hoping we get a re-make sometime after this "Adaption" finishes. Like seriously how hard is it to make a consistent manga adaption these days? :/ Ugh, at-least the Manga is great. Guess we'll have that to look forward to every week instead

Well, I'm a year late to the party and this is a long shot, but does anyone happen to know what song is playing at the beginning of Meliodas and Cain's fight? The one that starts right when he reveals his Danafall crest.


EDIT: I found it on my own, haha! For those reading in the future, it's the 11th track on the second OST, called 9雷&セ2内-4:罪. Why do the Nanatsu no Taizai OSTs have such strange track names...?
