An anime created by one of the greatest manga of all time. This anime started off very good and seemed like it would've been one of the anime that would stay true to it's source material.

I was a little disappointed when I realized the route it took.

After episode 3: rushed pacing, cut scenes, story changing. The Nanatsu no Taizai anime blitzed through over 100 manga chapters and crunched them into only 24 episodes. From a manga, that has a deep story line such as One Piece, which has amazing foreshadowing and and gives just about all of the content shown with it a purpose, no ... matter how small.

Though this anime had great animation, art , and overall, caught the essence of the series, it very much disappointed a fan that read the manga before the anime even began.

Gowther's story was changed, it cut out Dreyfus' fight that he had with Hendricksen along with his son and skipped an entire two chapters that was characterization of Elizabeth's sister.

Anyways, as an anime, yeah, this was a fucking awesome ride, but as an adaption, it was tragic.

Basically, what I'm trying to say by this review is to those of you that haven't read the manga and watched the anime first, read the manga because the anime skipped on a lot of important details that the anime left off on and sped through this decently paced masterpiece.

I give it a 9 as an anime.
But a 5 or 6 as an adaption.
