This is one of those animes that 12 year olds and angsty teenagers will love for all the action, shock and awe, and ethically questionable shameless fanservice. But if you are even a normally functioning, semi decent human being, you'd be embarrassed at yourself for ever watching and liking this as you grow older.
The characters pulls powers out of their asses in fight scenes. Overused Clichés and tropes thrown around at the walls to see what sticks. Character Motovations doesn't makes sense. Main protagonist is a child looking overpowered walking deus ex machina with a hidden edgy powerup mode who fails willingly when its plot convenient. And he molests the primary female protagonist at every opportune or inopportune moments he can get his hands on her, and no one calls him out on this…

Nanatsu no Taizai has been an anime that despite being a typical shounen has little to no complaints (that's what I am seeing) so I expected it to be at least decent. Oh boy, even Fairy Tail is better.
Story: 2/10
A typical shounen anime overloaded with pointless fanservice. The anime started with finding the remaining members of the sins then a random fight festival which were both a pain to watch because its too generic. Then we have the next arc dedicated to finding Gowther which is kinda ok. The only decent part of the show. After that the absolute shitshow of a finale start. A generic villain fighting against a set of overpowered bums. This said villain has too little build up for me to sympathize to him and his half-assed motives. Is it entertaining to watch? Never, not a second. O…

Garbage anime. The plot was looking good in the first few episodes but by the end of the show it turned into a parody of itself.
The characters are nothing special, none of them get any development, except Ban and King, all the other characters feel bland with little to no depth to them.
Meloidas, "captain" of the "seven deadly sins" is a pervert and that's pretty much all we get to know about him. The main characters are called sins, because, hey it sounds cool!
TL;DR
This is just another mediocre anime with fanservice to hide the terrible writing and "cool" character names to conceal the lack of depth. Don't waste your time with this show.

[First review] [bad english]
Story: 1/10
Like every cliché shounen, The Seven Deadly Sins has a mediocre and linear story, that is only used to justify fanservice and nonsense fights. The plot follows Meliodas, a very dumb and innocent dude (despite he always abuse his friend Elizabeth and, sometimes, turns into a demon), who is unjustifiably determined to help the princess that he knew 2 seconds ago.
It's basically a generic copy of Fullmetal Alchemist, but one thousand times worse.
Art: 5/10
The animation is fine, but the trait is just terrible, and the character design is so badly done.
Sound: 5/10
The sound composition is, ultimately, just okay. It's fundamentally common teenager J-Rock, and nothing more.
Character: 1/10
Nanatsu No Taizai's characters are quite one-dimensional, al…

[Spoiler Warning]
I don't know why many people find this anime so good when it's really not.
The anime gives us first the introduction of the characters. It was ok, I guess...Still, I was annoyed at the character of Meliodas. Why? Because he is a fucking sexual harasser with the girl who joins him: Elizabeth. Touching her boobs and ass and looking at her panties... Is that supposed to be funny? Because I'd find it rather disgusting than something for laughs. Besides that, the other characters were very neutral for me, but this Gowther guy who appears almost at the last which had a mysterious aura was kind of interesting like you want to know more about him and the pig makes an exeption as the second one being a sympathethic character who cares about his friends and is always protecting th…

I've always wanted to review Nanatsu, but I just couldn't give myself energy to do it. There's a lot of wrong things in this piece, and to flesh out each of them is gonna take time - but I really need to. A lot of reviews on MAL just didn't get to these points, so I'll have to talk about them myself.
Nanatsu is your average shonen, with ALL the cliches you can expect to see (overpowered characters, tits, superpowers, power of friendship and shit). But not only shonen cliches, also medieval story cliches: unbelievably unbreakable swords, giant monsters everywhere, kingdoms and knights, games of power and sexism - A LOT of sexism. I'm actually surprised no one has talked about it until now. But let's move on and I'll flesh this out later.
The story is a huge cliche, but has some interestin…

I have never seen an anime that I liked this much, with so many plot holes. I HATE plot holes and its the only thing that always gets me with anime. Usually if there's one plot hole, I drop it, but this one some how managed to make me want to keep watching despite the plot holes. I don't understand.
+points for the anime:
I do like the main concept and story idea. The main character is intriguing, and overall the cast was good. And there was a descent amount of romance in the plot. The fighting scenes were well done and it gave the this bad ass feel to it with and made overpowered characters that weren't actually overpowered because all the characters were OP. weird sort of balance.
Main good point I have for this anime is that it is heavily plot driven (in a good way). despite the plot h…

PSA Warning:
Out of concern for your eyes, if you are allergic to stupidity do not read my review. This is my first ever review and is therefore bound to suck. I have never been much of a writer either. However if you still wish to continue you have my condolences.
SPOILER FREE REVIEW
Nanatsu no taizai is an action adventure oriented anime with a lot of light-hearted humor to kind of gloss over the serious tones that the show throws at us every now and then. The show is good for a fun watch as it doesn't provide much in terms of character development, with such a massive cast of characters though, that is to be expected. This doesn't however take away from the fact that a lot of the characters are indeed very fun and interesting. The show will give backstories to many of the characters,…

Story: 8/10
The story isn't that bad. The main heroin rounds up the seven deadly sins. Along the way, we learn more about them.
Art: 6/10
The art was pretty good. But, I got turned off a bit somehow. I don't know why.
Sound: 6/10
The sound was alright but, I didn't hear any music in the middle of the episodes. Maybe it is just me and I got distracted with the Meliodas and Ban's fights.
Character: 9/10
The characters have horrifying and gruesome backstories which enhance their character. However, Merlin is only introduced for like, an episode and I really wanted to see the last sin.
Enjoyment: 7/10
I enjoyed the series but, some of the fights got repetitive after a long while.
Overall: 8/10
Overall, I enjoyed it but, got turned off in some ways.

Everybody sins. You and me, friends and family, neighbors and strangers; nobody is averse to acting sinful. The severity, though, changes depending on the circumstance: a rogue thought doesn’t do much harm nor does a little bit of desire. But other, more malicious movements can harbor emotions with greater intent to maim. This is where atonement comes into play. For while sinning is bad, it’s the good we do to make up for our grievances that truly matters. Nanatsu no Taizai takes this idea to heart, crafting an anime that needs no forgiveness.
STORY
Taizai begins innocently enough. Elizabeth Liones visits a local pub where Meliodas, the now infamous “Dragon’s Sin of Wrath” resides. Seeking his and the other Sins’ aide…

The Seven Deadly Sins.
I first saw the manga of this show and then forgot all about it.
But then one of my friends gave the first five episodes to me.
I am still thanking him for that.
To the review,
The one thing I really love about this anime are the characters. The personalities are just amazing and they make the show even better. Here you have adventure, comedy and all other shounen-like genres packaged in a single show. And packaged well.
There were also some awesome battles and epic moments that make you go "hohoho" . The show should have been longer as they were some unanswered questions, but hey, its still a pretty good shounen anime.
Hope I did good on my first review!

The story of how I came into watching Nanatsu no Taizai (or Seven Deadly Sins, whichever do you prefer to call it) is rather an odd one. The series isn't exactly on my anime watchlist back when it aired on Fall 2014, and I only watched it when I noticed Animax channel in my region began airing the series during winter. Considering the series seems like a good harmless shonen fun, I decided to finally watch it since I don't watch that much anime in that season. And it is quite good fun shonen, although it takes a while to get there.
The series story are pretty much what it says in the synopsis and follow the standard 'gather comrade in arms to overthrow evil ruler' plot (with some twist along the way of course). In a way, it make sense to see why Nanatsu's appealing to its fans due to the…

Nanatsu no Taizai is one of those shonen type story for teens that is actually quite enjoyable to watch. I'm not fond of shonen's in general, I love One Piece and some classics but my interest for the genre stops there.
Story: Nothing amazing or original there.
Long story short, the kingdom has been overuled by Holy Knights, the princess is looking for those called the Seven Deadly Sins to help her save her country. 5/10
Art: SHOUNENNNN, I mean, the art doesn't make the anime, i thought the action scene animation was quite poor too. 6/10
Sound: None of these terrible OP/ED, decent soundtrack, nothing I'll listen to again. 6/10
Character: The MC's are cute, kinda like Luffy's crew - they are linked by a powerful bond of friendship that will save them when the big fights come - don't exp…

Nanatsu no Taizai is an epic adventure of the main character, Meliodas trying to get into a young girls pants, you could consider Meliodas a pedofile, since he is over 3000 years old, anyway the animes pretty good, its got some unqiue characters to say the least. The animation lacking to be honest, theres alot of animation derps and farts. If you are looking for a shonen anime to clench your thirst of that sweet innocent butt of action, i guess you would enjoy this animu.

A group of knights have overthrown the kingdom and started an uproar, dubbed as the "Seven Deadly Sins." Soon, they all suddenly disappeared and the people rejoiced over their supposed defeat. Ten years later, the kingdom is overflowing with pride, yet a hidden darkness lies within as a girl comes up to a bar...
"Nanatsu no Taizai" or "The Seven Deadly Sins" is a recent anime released by A-1 Pictures that illustrate the adventures of a certain group against a kingdom deemed corrupt. That's basically it in a nutshell, so here is my review of this series!
Story: 8/10
The story basically follows a young girl named "Elizabeth" who seeks out to search the Deadly Sins for a certain purpose. And from then on it's load of adventures and especially action in forms of duels, battles, etc. Very s…

No Spoiler.
Plot( 9/10):
I think that is important to look at the tags of the anime. Talking about Nanatsu, I can see this tags: Action, Adventure, Fantasy,Shounen, Supernatural.
Seeing this tags, one question crossed my mind: What means a “good adventure”?
The word “adventure” originates from the latim “ad venture”, which means literally “what lies ahead”. Putting this in a anime plot perspective, adventure will be the problems, conflicts, battles, etc… that the characters have to pass by to reach one determined goal.
Answer my own question, what means a “good adventure” ?
A “good adventure” in a plot means one multiplicity of conflicts, battles, problems. Conflicts, battles, problems, have to permeates all kinds of questions of a fantasy world, so talk about politics, ethics, moral, r…

Nanatsu no Taizai also known as The seven deadly sins is one of the few shounen anime that breaks the generic shounen barrier.
Story- You can read the synopsis on the story.Elizabeth the main girl in the story is looking for the seven deadly sins basically her and the captain which she ends up finding out who he is look for the rest of the members in the seven deadly sins Elizabeth is not in it btw.... spoiler. It is kinda of a generic story but the characters really make it enjoyable and the adventure aspect is just so good and the journey makes this really enjoyable.The fights and abilities of the characters were awesome the only thing i really kinda was dissatisfied with was the pacing but again in 24 episodes you cant really do much when the story and characters should have made a big…

I just wrote a long ass review on this series, and I accidentally drop my laptap and it shut off before I even submitted it. -_- sigh, I'll make this one shorter then. if this review felt lacking, its probably because I'm kinda burn out, after putting so much effort in the previous Nanatsu no Taizai review. So let's begin for a second time now.
In late 2013, I read about 23 chapters of the manga and I wasn't impress, don't know if I was not in a good mood or not. fast forward in 2015, and the anime came, I wasn't excited at all, until..... lets start with the review. ;)
Story:7/10. The story revolves around Meliodas and Elizabeth who both goal is to gather the seven deadly sins, although initially there goal for gathering the seven deadly sins is different, in the end their reason for wa…

The potential of this show was extremely high when first watching. It seemed like a perfect candidate for a long running show like Fairy Tail or One Piece. The world was seemingly huge, the characters were plentiful and interesting, the story left time for adventure and side stories but unfortunately we were only blessed with 24 episodes.
The story was a little rushed and could have had some interesting filler arcs or side stories. I can only speculate that the budget was the main reason for a measly 24 episodes, luckily we're most likely getting a second season to continue the manga.
The art and sound is extremely average. I won't bother to elaborate.
The characters are what make this show interesting. I love each character for different reasons but my favourites have to be Ban and K…

The funny thing about sins is that we all have it. As some part of us, there’s a sin in everyone. It’s simple really because they are natural human instincts. That’s hardly what Nanatsu no Taizai is about though. On the surface, the show seems to talk about the sins in their variety. But really, this series is more about a journey, one that has our heroes find those lost Sins. Like a classic adventure, Nanatsu no Taizai (The Seven Deadly Sins) crafts the extraordinary portrait of how a journey should be in such a fantasy world.
Let’s get something over with first. This series has the infamous studio known as A-1 Pictures in charge which spells out for some controversy. Known for their other adaptations such as Sword Art Online, Magi, Blue Exorcist, and other related works, they have creat…
