Synopsis

The “Seven Deadly Sins”—a group of evil knights who conspired to overthrow the kingdom of Britannia—were said to have been eradicated by the Holy Knights, although some claim that they still live. Ten years later, the Holy Knights have staged a Coup d'état and assassinated the king, becoming the new, tyrannical rulers of the kingdom. Elizabeth, the king's only daughter, sets out on a journey to find the “Seven Deadly Sins,” and to enlist their help in taking back the kingdom.

invisibleunicornninja This is a great series with interesting characters and concepts. There is a level of continuity in this series that is fairly unusual compared to other cartoons of this nature. (For example, there is an episode where a window is broken. Though most shows would gloss over it, its casually being fixed in the next scene.) The voice acting (for the most part) is fantastic. The ONLY complaint I really have is that a lot of the dialogue is a bit cheesy and dumb. Yeah its a translation from the original but there is still a lot of clever dialogue that makes it seem like the original was just as dumb at those points. This series has a lot of good action and fun in it. There are a lot of well-developed magical concepts, and overall its just very enjoyable. Overall, this series is very well-done and entertaining. I would highly recommend this.
Erich Bennett Let me say by saying:PROS: You should absolutely watch this series. Great animation, awesome fight scenes, well thought out plot, and fleshed out characters (half of them anyway more about that later). You really get a feel of who the characters are and especially sins they represent.CONS: Now the character development is where this show falls short be it due to number of episodes or budget. Each of the seven deadly sins are the good guys and you understand and get a feel for the characters wrath, sloth, envy, greed, and lust (kind of could of been better). However gluttony (who should of been represented as lust due to her scantoulous clothing wear) is only introduced in the last few episodes and you don't get a feel of her personality. This falls short for lust (who should be represented as gluttony not because of food but because of knowledge) sort of but she is also slothy too. Also pride is not introduced in the show; the knight in the gold armor may be represented as pride since he shows he has a prideful personality but he is never addressed nor introduces himself as pride. Also wrath is supposed to be a demon who is 3000 years old but we don't get any back story on that. So there are small but important chunks missing from this show. And even though there is season 2 they feel more like OVA episodes than anything. Season 3 may answer more questions but it should of been wrapped up in one season.That being said it is totally worth it to watch. Highly recommended for confident protagonists, great animation, and well thought out storyline.
Ana I love this show! This is a great show, in my opinion, for teens and adults, not children though. The way the story starts off is very good and the action only increases every episode! I think anyone who likes Magi ,and battle anime in general, would really enjoy watching this. I love the plot and the speed that the story moves, although, like most anime, there are some warnings to heed. My first warning is that if you are uncomfortable watching scenes with perverted (for humor) actions, this may not be a good anime because the main character can be a little perverted towards a somewhat ignorant / naive girl he travels with. Secondly, the main character's other traveling companion, a pig, swears a lot, and seems particularly fond of calling the bad guys profane names. Blood is a regular occurrence, but violence is everywhere and that's why I don't suggest this for kids younger than maybe about 13, depending on how mature they are. Hope this helps!
alanmarquesleal First of all, the pilot of this is just outstanding. I couldn't stop binge-watching since the beginning. Basically, the story is about a kingdom, known by Liones (which is located inside the Brittania- clearly a reference to the ancient Britain) , where the peace and justice were/are kept by the holy knights. Those warriors are very powerful, according to anime one of them capable of facing one hundred of men. Politically, Liones was unstable due to the weakening of the King and also the attempts of some of the holy knights at developing new powers for themselves. Alongside this situation, there were the especial once holy knights, the seven deadly sins; those sins, who are actually the most powerful holy knights all around Brittania, were accused of trying to take the King down, implying a war between the other holy knights and these seven deadly sins. It turned out that the seven deadly sins didn't have any fault in what happened in that attempt against the king. However, this bad fame still stands even ten years later (the actual time of that story). There is much more interesting details about that story. But what is more interesting is the whole development through its 24 episodes in the first season and there is still plenty of unanswered questions which I hope will be answered in the next season.
