Nanatsu no Bitoku is a spin-off series of Sin: Nanatsu no Taizai that was broadcast in Spring 2017 and also created by Hobby Japan. The heavens sent seven angels to find someone that qualifies the heavenly virtues to stop the spread of the seven devils, but these angels are, unfortunately, somewhat useless. These are Michael (Faith), Uriel (Patience), Sariel (Kindness), Sandalphin (Diligence), Metatron (Charity), Raphael (Temperance), and Gabriel (Chastity).

Never expected this to get another series, since Artland died. Let's hope this one is more ecchi. That was the problem with the first series. It wasn't ecchi enough.

Have not seen Sin yet but I'm not lying this news makes me happy.

It's the angels turn now huh? Interesting.

Finally! I enjoyed Sin nanatsu no taizai. It was one of those types of anime that I started to watch because of ecchi but stayed for the story. Even if the story wasn't as great as many people would think I actually quite enjoyed it so I'm looking forward to this.

I read above that it was of the animes that I generate more this year hahahaha
This kind of animes are never on tops of anything, it is easier to draw, I suppose.

I actually prefer the top novels remain without animated rather than got animated by poor or inexperienced producer.

Welp, honestly kinda speechless... Well all I can say is that I hope it doesn't become a disappointment like the last time.

No Deus Ex Machina
No Human Character and if there is don't make her a damn crybaby
Just give us the lewds, nothing more.

I was wondering if they were going to make a sequel...and we're getting it, and it's going to air next season! Hahaha! As much as people dislike Sin Nanatsu no Taizai, the anime was one of the more successful series this year, and I'm glad that we got the Heavenly Virtues to add to it.

where do you get that

Artland was already dying from years of no work and Artland isnt an ecchi studio. TNK the other studio just announced a new project. What are you on.

Well i expected this to get a anime, but didn't expect to arrive this fast omg, i can't wait XD. Bridge is a good studio, Good director aswell (Fairy Tail, Log Horizon) so it looks like it's going to have a good budget

I heard that Sin: Nanatsu no Taizai BD's sold below average but the merch (dem figurines) sold pretty well.

Also no best girl candidates? Asmodeus, Leviathan and Satan were the the top best girl candidates for me.

The problem is that apart from Leviathan, Maria, and Lucifer (aka the main cast) the rest were barely given any time once their introduction episodes were done. Belphegor especially (whom I was looking forward to the most, only to be disappointed with a half-baked intro episode after which she was only shown a couple times asleep). Also, Levi was as insufferable as the always-in-distress Maria.

Anyway, I won't respond further than this as we've gone off topic and I don't want the mods coming after me.

@GangstaCat

DREAMS DO COME TRUE!

I was wondering if they were going to make a sequel...and we're getting it, and it's going to air next season! Hahaha! As much as people dislike Sin Nanatsu no Taizai, the anime was one of the more successful series this year thanks to the figurines, and I'm glad that we got the Heavenly Virtues to add to it.

A new studio with some staff from Sin. I wonder if they will follow the episode format from Sin where an insert song plays in every episode. I hope they up the animation quality.

I love how they're calling it The Seven Heavenly Virtues... When it ain't even pure in the slightest...

For me it had some of the most repulsive fanservice that I've had the displeasure of seeing, far more disgusting than hot, along with zero best girl candidates, I regret not watching it till the end.

I guess I can understand why some of the fan service may be repulsive to some including yourself but that's also apart of the attraction. Also no best girl candidates? Asmodeus, Leviathan and Satan were the the top best girl candidates for me.
