(Spoilers ahead btw)
Seven Deadly Sins: Cursed by Light is the final instalment into the NNT series. I was hesitant at first because it was completed during the production of the final season of SDS(I'm looking at you MHA and your mediocre Season 5), but after watching the film. I am proud to say it was pretty good. Though the final season did have to suffer for the second half. The story starts six months after the Demon King's battle. We get to see many things shown, like Diane, King, Meliodas and Elizabeth's Marriage. What happens to Arthur and Merlin(Not a lot though), Zeldris and Gelda's relationship, basically most of the cast from the previous seasons had some updates on their whereabouts(Mostly because this movie really "shocked" the world).
Let's begin with the story of the anime.
Story: 5/10
It had a pretty generic storyline if I were, to be honest, big baddies show up and heroes go serious. As a set-up for a sequel, it did do a pretty good job. This is just starting to the age of chaos after all(hehe sequel time). It had barely anything special but maybe simple is the best, after all this movie was a culmination of all the previous season's. I'm not defending it because it's a set-up, I'm defending it because I liked how simple it was. Although I gave it a pretty low rating, I still liked the story(Still barely anything as a story)
Art/Animation: 7/10
I loved the animation for the movie, it was a middle ground between Season 2 and Season 3. Some part's had very nice animation, while some parts were wonky(Looking at you CGI Supreme Deity). Overall nice animation, not too many wonky faces and some nice backgrounds. Though, I'm sure it could be better if it was handled by a better studio(No offence Deen)
Sound: 8/10
I loved the soundtrack for this movie(Series as a whole). Hiroyuki never disappoints with their soundtrack, it fits perfectly with each moment (I love this man no cap). The final rendition of perfect time made me pretty hyped, I love the soundtrack :D. "Sono Saki no Hikari e" by Akihito Okano was a bop, a fitting song for a final movie.
Character: 6/10
The development between Meliodas and Zeldris is the main focus here. Although I wished for some development between Supreme and Elizabeth, I'm happy that we got to see Meliodas and Zeldris's brotherly bond grow even more. I can't say for the rest sadly. King, Diane, Gowther and Ban already had theirs done long ago. I loved that they showed us Hawk and Mild's bond grow as well as they live in Purgatory. Meliodas and Elizabeth's only development was killing mommy goddess sadly. Seeing Gelda and Zeldris's relationship does put a smile on my face.(P.S The villains in the movie kinda sucks doe(what happened to them lmao), The Supreme Deity also had small screentime too sus)
Enjoyment: 9/10
Can't say I didn't enjoy the bonds between brothers grow. I enjoyed it full-heartfully has a fan of SDS. I'm not being biased just because I am a fan it's just that I did have fun watching this finale and riding to the end with the sins. I loved the comedy, the teasing and all of it till the end(I can't say the same for the animation for Season 3). I'm happy that the final movie was good.
Overall: 7/10
I can say many good things about SDS but I can't neglect that this movie still lacked many things. The overall pacing was haywire, the stiffness of the animation(Sometimes), that horrible CGI Supreme Deity. Still, the overall product was pretty good I wished I could have seen this type of animation for Season 3 and 4(No CGI Supreme doe).
Thank's for reading my review!
