Back when Nanatsu was still good, haha.
To be honest, this isn't exactly essential viewing for franchise fans. These episodes function more as a bit of supplementary material bridging the first and second seasons rather than a crucial part of the story. Don't expect major revelations, plot-altering events, or anything fundamental to understanding the rest of the series, that’s not the goal here.
In practice, we get a series of extra episodes focusing mainly on lighthearted situations involving the characters. It’s the kind of content designed to capitalize on a cast that had already won over the audience and to showcase a bit more of their interactions before the main story resumed. And despite their simplicity, I think these OVAs do a good job of fulfilling that role.

This season takes place after the Seven Deadly Sins defeat Hendrickson and ends just before they leave the Kingdom of Liones.
Watch it only if you're a die-hard fan of the characters—someone who gets excited just seeing them on screen and enjoys whatever they do, no matter what. Otherwise, it’s really not worth your time.
These four episodes barely add anything to the overall story. There are a few small moments that might be relevant in future seasons, but even that’s uncertain.
Compared to the first season, this is honestly trash. The plot is boring, and most of the conversations feel pointless and don’t contribute anything. I'm only bumping the rating up to a 3 because of the final episode—it was slightly more interesting and seemed to add a bit more to the story’s progression.
So ye…

I went into this with mixed expectations after feeling conflicted about the first season of the show. The potential to be good is still there, and the first season of the show made a pretty decent job in making me want to know how the story continues. I was a bit confused to find that the sequel of the story is listed with only 4 episodes and was even more confused when I got through them.
This "season" basically consists of four episodes, which resemble four OVA episodes because nothing interesting or noteworthy happens. Skipping these episodes wouldn't result in missing out on much. The only somewhat important scenes to the plot are the ones after the credits, and that's about it.
Most of the things that happen this season are inconsequential and add practically nothing to the universe…

The Seven Deadly Sins: Signs of Holy War
To clarify, these OVAs are the transition from Season 1 to Season 2, where you can see the little events in between, including the introduction to the 10 Commandments. And to be clear, the title has no relevance. The topic of the holy war is dealt with in just 5 minutes during the 4 episodes, presented piece by piece at the end of each episode. The rest of the episodes are simply small fan service, the everyday life of the characters, and comedy.
Which honestly makes it better than the first season. In these 4 episodes, there was less time to ruin anything, giving the viewer just decent humor, embellished with some character development and relationship progression. It was enjoyable to watch and I had to smile several times. Less impressive as…

I don't think anybody really considers this a proper second season, these can be considered more like season 1 OVAs or specials. They certainly weren't marketed or released as such which made a lot of people salty, but that's something that became somewhat of a general trend for this series as time wore on so looking back it isn't all that surprising.
There isn't a whole lot story-wise. For the most part these seem more like little slice of life adventures in the world of Nanatsu no Taizai than anything. We get some lame stuff at the pub, blue balled Ban vs Meliodas fight, boring relationship drama. Just not a whole lot to even comment on. It does serve a purpose in bridging the gap between seasons but honestly you could probably skip over it and you wouldn't be missing out on much. 7/10

I can only acknowledge the pointlessness of this season.
While signs of holy war are simply serving the purpose of being a filler arc, the arc is still somewhat enjoyable. Only it has no effect on progressing the story and very few characters experience any development. The animation is decent but feels awkward at times and there's nothing to comment on in terms of sound design.
The stories that take place during this season are minor considering the large scope that this world presents. Comparable to Naruto filler episodes where characters would have mini journies that don't progress the main story. While these are enjoyable, I feel like I'm forcing myself to watch them simply because it's another season of seven deadly sins.
The animation is great, characters don't feel like picture…

Four episodes? Just four episodes?!
A very very very predictable series, and a very very very boring one too. I don't know why everyone is raving about this series. It's very predictable. I knew what was going to happen episodes behind. It's that predictable and boring.
It's just too predictable, it's annoying. I found myself yawning and getting distracted by something else apart from this series, that isn't good for me. Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood is the best anime for the Seven Deadly Sins.
With that being said, the artwork is great. Don't get me wrong, I liked the artwork, it's just the series that's boring. Netflix has the artwork down. It's good to be fair.
I found myself saying meh a lot. It's just too predictable. Again and again, I do not like this predictable series.…

I personally don't like this series, but after I made a friend who likes this, I decided to give it a second chance and watch every season, but man. It's not good, and honestly it's useless to watch this season- you could easily skip to season three.
I don't know why they only made four episodes, but they could've made it work a whole lot better. The ending of season one made it seem that this season would be about the travel to Camelot, but for some reason all of the four episodes are basically just filler. No one gets character development (though they didn't get that in the first season either...), and the only worthwhile story line is between Diane and King since the long-awaited battle between Ban and Meliodas was just clickbait.
Music always slaps though- I truly enjoyed the open…

Just knocked this one out yesterday, and while I wasn't completely disappointed, I also didn't completely engage with it. Another reviewer mentioned that the title is misleading. I concur.
It's not a bad filler story, but it really doesn't live up to the title, and the story itself isn't nearly as good as the main series. It's a cute little romp, and worth giving a go if you really love the series, but it is skippable.
There is also a fight in this one, but it really doesn't live up to any of the other fights we've seen so far, so that's not really something to look forward to either.

The story is excellent, and accurate to the manga. I can't deny that i like the fact that they respected most of the story from the manga
(excepting Gowther's bc it was already changed from the previous seasons, and also i didnt like that they didnt put a certain scene from Gowther's past) BUT in rest the story is actually very good!
The animation is bad tho-...like, really bad. I want A-1 BACK!! DEEN STOP IT!! You destroyed some epic fights ..i mwan ive seen fanmades better than some certain fights in the new season..uh
The soundtrack is good, ngl and the voice acting is awesome! Can't wait to hear some new characters!!
the anime is like:
Story 10/10
Characters 10/10
Voice Acting 10/10
animation wtf/10

The second season of Seven Deadly Sins is really not even a season at all. It is 4 episodes of mostly filler. That being said it does not make it any less enjoyable.
Many have complained about personality changes however this is not true, everything is developmental. Diane changes as she regains her lost memories. Gil is a lot more laid back and less serious now that Margret is safe. Jericho's opinion of Ban changes due to the fact he saved her brother and herself from the Demon.
At the end of the day Season 2 is probably best called an OVA but it is still a good watch

What a pleasant little surprise!
I don't know if this is considered as season 1.5, season 2, some OVA's, or what, but it certainly was worth watching, and you should probably watch season 1 - this - 10 commandments.
Not only is it some nice new shenanigans with the characters we love, it also adds more character depth, ties up some loose ends, and foreshadows nicely what is to come. ^^
A quick, enjoyable watch!
And that's mostly all I have to say about 4 episodes of content, but for some reason AnimeList wants me to write essays all the time so I guess here is some filler text. :D

First off, VERY misleading title, seeing as the ending AFTER THE CREDITS is the only REAL story development we get out of this "season 2" of the seven deadly sins. I use quotation because it was so short that if my internet hadn't been down the last 4 days i could have finished it in like 2 hours. Although watching this was kind of a nice break from the series plot points and started doing a little more character development (which they threw out the window COMPLETELY) and fooled around a little with the characters in a canon OVA style show. I find it sad to say that the only appealing part to all of this was the visuals and the fight scenes(love me a good SDS fight). and also, more fanservice. the one thing that brings down an anime in my opinion. Welp, here's to hoping the REAL season 2…

Warning possible Spoilers
Usually I don't dig filler episodes, but SDS Signs of Holy War was actually ok from what it showed and honestly it just made the sins even more fun characters.
Story (9/10)
Now these episodes take place in the aftermath of the battle for Liones and before Meliodas along with the others leave the city.
Each episode had a specific focus, the first focused on the characters recovering from the battle and chasing Hawk around the city, because of a joke Meliodas made. The second episode focused on the fight between Meliodas and Ban as they settle the score. The third episode focused more on the relationship between King and Diane, while the final episode pretty much cleared up whatever happened to Vivian after the battle and also shows Gowther trying to understand h…

Just 4 episodes of a pleasant midway between the first and upcoming second season, Signs of Holy War offers the same endearing quality that the first season did -- bright, cheerful characters who are insanely powerful and are facing quite the deadly opponents, which are right now in the shadows. Hence "Signs of Holy War." One might think that these 4 episodes are unnecessary, but as I've said in another review, narratives don't always have to follow a completely plot-dependent structure. As the Deadly Sins just won, what else would they be doing but taking a light breather? Chilling around the bar, drinking and making merry, pursuing love... It's like a casual look into their life outside of fighting against an antagonist.
But these 4 episodes also show some insight into the relationships…

This is filler. It is literally only filler.
The story doesn't pick up in any shape or form from where season one left off. At the end of the first season Meliodas absconded with Elizabeth and went off with the other Sins to Camelot sans Ban who went off to "explore the world". In this 4 episode series they are all still in Liones with no mention of leaving. Ban is still there, Gilthunder is way out of character, and Diane is a regular sized person for no explained reason whatsoever. The continuity with the first season is almost zero.
It's not uncommon for an anime to have filler... but this is literally advertised as a second season. And it isn't even close.

Ya know I really wish I could have given Signs of a Holy War a better score but I'm bitter for how damn short it is. The show was a lot of fun. Not a Season 2 as advertised by Netflix. More of a season 1.5. The series was mostly episodic with not a lot going on. Kinda daily life in Liones before the journey continues.
If you have completed these episodes. I'd love it if you checked out my Review and Discussion from my You tube channel in the link below. I could really use the support and constructive criticism from the fan base to get better and keep putting out good content.

Hawk is a nice guy-Gilthunder
First of all,the title "Seisen no Shirushi" or "Sign of Holy War" is pretty misleading,there's whatsoever not enough content that does justice to the hype the title created,unless we pay attention to extra couple of minutes here and there,secondly it would be wrong to call it a sequel,more of a mini-series or 4 part OVAs.
EPISODE 1- Our evergreen Hawk wants to have fun,ok.
EPISODE 2- Finally the most awaited fight BAN vs MELOIDAS,wait it was just a prank.
EPISODE 3- Romantic development between Titan Diane and king which the least people care about.
EPISODE 4- Another 20 minutes of misery just to see Vivian's futile try in conquering Gilthunder's heart.
Tbh,pretty much everything is irrelevant for the progress of the plot.
It's like half of the character…

This may not have been another season, but it's still a really good mini series. These four episodes don't necessarily add a lot more story, but to me they just seem to be fun filled episodes with some more great fighting, although brief, even more perviness from Meliodas, and some nice interactions between characters like Diane and king and others. As I said, there's not much story, but I don't think these episodes were meant for story. Overall, I still really enjoyed these episodes and I was laughing a lot, and also, the ending makes a good set up for a another season , which I hope gets announced.

Oh my god.
is that what i have been expecting since the beginning of 2016?
The main anime was masterpiece but this one is just rushed anime compared to it.
Let's Begin with the story.
i don't see a story , i could link these episodes with the past OVA.
The fights offended the sins with the lack of creativity and dullness.
but i think the point of this series was peaceful days after the war.
Art:
The art is beautiful , colorful and pleasing to see. But the animation is poor, i think one episode of the original series had more budget than this whole thing.
Characters:
They changed so much , Gilthunder who was a badass is now a silly crying-baby , Also jericho became 10x more tsundere
but i won't complain anymore here
Sounds:
A Bunch of good Voice Actors/Actresses.
Neat OP & ED.
Totally can…
