Seven Deadly Sins is another Netflix anime that when it came out mostly everyone was watching it. I 
immediately bought in and binged the entire season within one week leaving me anime-less for a while as it takes Netflix years to put out another season of an anime. My feelings on Seven Deadly Sins vary from one of my favorite watches to what in the world happened as the seasons went on. The anime follows the adventure of a princess Elizabeth who is searching for the banished and hated group of knights; the seven deadly sins. She stumbles across their leader, Meliodas, unknowingly asking him in his tavern for help on her journey. I love how you immediately understand where the anime is going just by the first episode. You can see how Elizabeth and Meliodas will go on this adventure to find his long-lost teammates and probably will have a hard time doing it.
Meliodas is the smallest and also the leader of the seven deadly sins but as his outward appearance deceives most people we soon learn that he is the seven deadly sin, wrath. The most dangerous, and
lethal, sin of them all, and he proves it in each episode you watch. I love how each one of the sin’s fighting styles is different, with Meliodas he barely fights with a weapon, and when he does it’s with a broken sword. Many animes fall short to me when it comes to actual world-building but Seven Deadly Sins do a great job of showing you how their mythical world works
(this link will take you to one of my favorite fight scenes between Meliodas and the ten commandments)
As a viewer, you are always waiting and guessing which character could be a seven deadly sin as you meet them and they get revealed. We meet Diane the envy sin (who is a giant), Ban the greed sin, King the sloth sin (who is a fairy King), Esconar the pride sin, and Gother the lust sin. This is not their whole team but the ones they find throughout the season. I love how each major seven deadly sins all have its past and issues with each other that the viewer doesn’t know. One of my huge favorite things about this anime is the fighting animation style. It does an amazing job at showing their abilities while keeping it interesting to watch after seeing fight after fight.
Overall if you are into a more fast-paced and fight-centered anime this one is for you. Seven Deadly Sins is an anime that starts amazingly, the adventure draws you in and the plot makes you stay. As the seasons go on, the show loses some of that consistency and starts to fall apart. The animation loses its footing and Netflix as a company doesn’t always put out the best mass content. It comes in at 7/10 for me as it was one of my favorites and the shaky ending doesn’t make it any less of a great watch to an extent.
