For an anime produced by A-1 Pictures, I was impressed. Compared to Fairy Tail and Sword Art Online, the content was a lot more mature. By mature, I'm speaking of sexual innuendo, fluidity of combat, and blood spillage. Many a time do characters die, or come close to dying, as Nanatsu no Taizai is a clash of epic powers. For an anime of its length, I was pleasantly surprised by the sheer quantity of power and strength in so many characters.

The premise: a princess searches for a group of powerful fighters known as the Seven Deadly Sins, each so named for committing a Sin in the past. Now these guys, whenever a new one joins the team, boy you're continually stunned by his/her abilities. Their opponents? The kingdom's Holy Knights, each with his or her own unique abilities. Compared to the fighting in Fairy Tail, the combat here is much more fast-paced and visually enrapturing, so much so that I looked forward to watching more episodes just for that aspect.

That being said, this series shares some similarities with Naruto and Bleach and I won't say why but after you watch it you'll understand what I mean. They have to do with greater power within and the corrupted search for even more power.

The soundtrack was very good, openings and endings superb. Animation was pretty clear. In terms of character development, since the members of the Seven Deadly Sins don't all show up at once, not much really can happen. Some deep and dark things happened in the past, which continually haunt and shadow several of the main characters' current personalities and motivations. I'll just say that Ban is one of my favorite anime characters of all time.
