GR Anime Review: The Seven Deadly Sins

[@KhaosElement]

I really liked that Meliodas was so OP. I don't know why. I think I get bored of the Shonen trope of main character gets beat to near death and has to recover. I just liked that Meliodas got to go beast mode and win. Same with One Punch Man. I do love this show though, I recommend it to everybody I know.

[@sethbudrik8906]

KhaosElement I agree. As someone who has watched every other Shoenen of the Last 15 years to some extent, it was nice to see the heroes being so overpowered and all of them are somewhat useful for once. I'd have a bigger problem with this and OPM if they had 100 plus episodes though. 12-25 is manageable though and refreshing

[@KhaosElement]

Exactly. I just wanted to see badasses being badasses. Also, having somebody other than the protagonist being useful was just the best.

[@YightLagami]

KhaosElement Kinda disagree. Being OP isn't why they're good, it's the execution. If by concept alone, it wouldnt nearly be good.Like if any of you have watched a shounen, there are many moments where they outright and flashily one shot an opponent. Remember when OPKirito one shot and be badass against every opponent he fights?

[@KhaosElement]

I actually don't enjoy Shounen anime a ton in general. One, because of length, and two because of the predictable story nature of it. Bad guy shows up, bad guy crushes everybody, protagonist gets buffer through convoluted story mechanism, protagonist beats bad guy. Rinse and repeat. I like the idea of Shounen, but just get bored by that. I liked OPKirito. Well, in the first game. I hated that series with a passion once the first game ended. I like Saitama, I like Meliodas. In fact, the only bog-standard Shounen I enjoy is DBZ, and only because it was my introduction to anime. Well, and FMA. I respect that you like the typical Shounen character, that's awesome. It's just not for me.

[@TheHiroyukiutatane]

*+KhaosElement* Did he even say he likes typical shounen characters? He only said "just being OP" doesn't automatically mean "good". What makes a good or bad character is the execution regardless of the character's OPness.

[@saljpal3]

you think Meliodas is too op now? wait till season 2.

[@barley2469]

Season 2 will actually be more evened out. The ten commandments are the one's who are OP.

[@Pipehiguita]

´+Common Sense no, even with them Meliodas is still the most OP character so far

[@garrisonlandry2336]

I was just about to say the same thing, because damn chapter 177 was not pretty

[@barley2469]

Pipehiguita he definitely has more of a challenge in some parts though.

[@saljpal3]

Common Sense only early on, once he has his full strength he's basically wiping the floor with everyone.

*Me after watching the series to the end* Damn meli is stonk

[@terronova]

I haaaated the fan service of this show... would be so much better if Elizabeth wasn't useless eye candy.

[@CeruleanRogue]

Agreed... And the sad thing is that the author is REALLY weak when it comes to writing female characters. I don't think he knows how to write them outside of some veneer of sexuality, as oddly enough Merlin is probably his most developed female character and she's... Well yeah... Honestly Elizabeth feels like she also belongs as the main mary sue character of a bad young adult novel on top of being a stock shonen damsel. She's their weird mishmash that just doesn't work.

[@terronova]

It seems to be a strong trend in the manga/anime world... I get the feeling it might be because of the conservative gender roles in Japan, and that perhaps most writers are men. Even HxH suffers a bit from it, though mostly in the lack of female character rather than the lack in quality of female characters.

[@benjinocap]

Btw, Elizabeth wasn't useless eye candy if you watched the whole thing. She did her part, and I think she will do more in other seasons. No spoilers if you've seen past me. I've only watched episode 1-24.

Oh and ever heard of That 4 episode thing called "signs of the holy war"? They animated 4 episodes exactly enough so that they have the fillers between the two arcs just for the lolz?

[@lancelotxiii9089]

I agree with the harassment thing. So unnecessary!

[@QDJW]

Lancelot Knight Toriyama does it and he's a genius

[@backbiter8787]

Lots of anime have pervert characters who harass the women in their vicinity, but theyrarely do it like 7DS does it.

[@sarah2cold377]

i liked his harassment personally just because there wasn't the cliched response of unnecessary violence or ear piercing screeching. plus miliodas as a character was super likable from the beginning so that helped

[@android19willpwn]

I liked how pretty much all of the sins were established as piece-of-shit human beings right off the bat (even if they weren't actually human). It was kind of a nice change of pace, even if they kind of forgot about that with some of them later on. That being said, it did irk me that none of the female characters were done particularly well. Not bad enough to make me dislike the show, but things like Diane being afraid of bugs and Elizabeth being completely useless except for literally one time and having barely any personality just kinda bothered me.

[@zhaoyun255]

There is a reason for a MUCH MUCH later in the manga which was why she was fine with Melodias. Not even Melodias's former lover but Elizabeth's REAL origin.

Seven Deadly Sins was such a fun series to watch. I always felt like I was having a good time watching it, and like Arkada the episodes went by pretty quickly. The manga is fun too, although A-1 Picture's action animation and Hiroyuki Sawano's track greatly enhance the series as a whole. All in all, a pretty good Shonen action series to watch if you want to have a good time.

[@b1merio]

I thought this show was kind of middle of the road. Not bad by any means; just not particularly great, either. Also, yeah, Elizabeth does seem to rather enjoy getting groped, which is kind of weird.

[@android19willpwn]

Yeah, I found it to be good, but not great. And kinda the low end of good. But still good. I mean, I did watch the whole thing and did so over the course of like a week, so it was doing something right.

[@BrandNewAlien]

b1merio I think it's a nice change up from the classic grope to uppercut combo that is in EVERY OTHER anime

[@corvixcorux8850]

The Baws Cause that's the fucking normal reaction. No girl wants to be groped without consent. Unless she wants to bang too. But Elizabeth doesn't even want that. She's just indifferent.

Hey, but Kikyo and Kagome are the same person and let's be honest here Kagoma is a lot better than Kikyo. But what I'm trying to say here is that Elizabeth's character is really bad just like how Kikyo's character is really bad, if that makes sense to you.

[@royalRoy5]

Funny thing is: most of the "flaws" you pointed out are actually points I really like about this show. I really enjoy Meliodas as a protagonist. I find his pervyness (only) towards Elizabeth (which makes story wise a lot of sense, but for that you have to read the manga) hilarious. And I love how stupidly OP he seems to be at first, like all the seven deadly sins. But this first season is just a scratch on the surface of the story and is in fact just the setup for the actual overarching narrativ. There is a lot awesomeness to come for future seasons, aswell as lot of bullshit, such as power levels for example. The charakters are really good written, too bad that one single season is not enough to explore it all.

[@MathewDHennen]

I loved this anime, I like to equate it to a D&D adventure where the main characters are all level 15+ and fighting level 10-15 opponents. It's not until the ending where the villains realize they are woefully out classed and need to do something drastic to power level themselves.

[@feeblemind]

the fact the characters started overpowered is what I actually liked.. The build-up of power in typical shounen is annoying... this series is more like the characters already have pasts are already insanely strong and it's more about them reacquiring their power that they already had more than gaining some new power through some cliche training arc. Also slight spoiler... the people they fight throughout the show are pretty fucking weak... that first season was more of an introduction to the characters. The things that will happen in season 2 will VERY much PUSH all the characters to the edge. You can't expect a challenge from the magic knights when the 7 or them ( COUGH 6 ) were already suppose to be the strongest knights in the kingdom.

[@dejanhaskovic5204]

@@manuelcampi8956 >A shounen without any kind of growth Theres growth both character wise and power wise. Are we even talking about same anime? The problem seems to be with you expecting every shounen to follow chsracters since the time they learned to walk. I see no problem with Meliodas and Escanor being too strong or whatever. Powerlevel is irrelevant to me as long as it doesn't overshadow other characters which in this show it doesn't unlike some others like late stage naruto and almost entire dbz. It still manages to make a compelling and interesting plot because fights and power isn't the main focus of the show. We see lots of character's internal struggles, the evolving and dynamic relationships between them, and so many questions and mysteries that are yet to be answered even after season 2. The way they deliver meliodas'es and other's backstory bit by bit is honestly brilliant and not many shows manage to pulls this off right. Not trying to be disrespectful, but the way you judge the entire show based on a single merit that doesn't need to be neither good nor bad is just dumb. Also, you are stepping into the gatekeeping territory bud.

You need to review these 4 anime for 4 vary different resins. Overlord - The only anime based on the concept of mmos that is good.

Wakfu - These is a french cartoon that keeps getting labeled as an anime, so would be a good April Fools day ep.

Masashi Kishimoto has ended Naruto and Shippuden, probably for good. However a second series with Boruto (Bullet), Naruto's son, is still ongoing but with another author, KODACHI Ukyo, and artist, IKEMOTO Mikio.

Rodney Paul first most prominent is diane her entire character this ark ever since her second amnesia, it has served no real purpose that could've of been done with her memories intact (in fact I i could argue that it would've been better with her memories during some of the future events and would've actually helped her grow) instead it has done nothing but regress her character from a independent, knowledgeable, confidant battle harden warrior that contributes to and is proactive in discussions and events with other charcters that helps further the plot to a disty, oblivious, dependant, unintelligent, side character that only ever reacts (or should i say overreacts) to situations and is just dragged along and supported by other characters. Hell at this point she only serevs to progress kings romance ark, when was the last time she did anything for herself. All of which could've been avoided by the BS Anmeisa thing that was only used because nabaka didn't want to finish her romance plot with king too early. And that's just one problem I have another would be the introduction of power levels and his over reliance on one or two broken characters that are so OP they kill any and all tension and worry in the story. Ever since galan entered with 26,000 power it has turned into dbz again not in a good way. Escanaor and Mel at this point might as well be goku and vegeta were as any problem comes into play everyone just bacsilly says what dbz characters say wait Mel/goku and escanaor/vegeta to destroyed them without breaking a sweat. Everyone else has been demoted to either spectators or cheerleaders. Name the last time or any time in the near future where the holy knights Hauser,guila,gilthunder etc were actually important or useful. I like this story I really do it's just some plot discisons and choices that I can't stand or at the very least comprehend them, they make no sense and even hurt the story over all.

I kept trying to get further in this show, but I just can't get past the main character committing serial sexual violence and it all being played off so casually with a not-so-subtle undertone of "It's okay she secretly likes it." It's an awful and totally played out form of "humor", and I wish shounens would just give it up already.

@@nonameneeded2943 I fail to see the “credibility” you mention. Events such as these happen regularly in many anime and are never meant to be taken seriously. Those who do are most likely people who can’t go throughout a normal day without pointing out minor problems in other people’s lives. I would also say “sexual violence” is a wide stretch. Whoever compares sexual violence which is a serious problem to sexual humor is insulting to those who *have* experienced that.

[@sterlingmuse5808]

What I really enjoyed about the Seven Deadly Sins was the group dynamic between them. Every single one of them is way overpowered compared to almost everyone else in the setting, but with the exception of Ban none of them really care about that. Instead, they each have more human goals. And in the middle of that, they all act like a real group. It feels similar to other really well-done groups in shonen settings, like the Phantom Troupe from Hunter x Hunter or the Straw Hats from One Piece.

[@GamerGod353]

Havn't seen your videos in a long while actually. KZbin just never shows me of you uploading anything UNTIL NOW! Now About this show. I love it a bunch, I actually find most of the series to be a breath of fresh air on something new for a change. And the seacond season is getting their release and are getting REALLY interesting with the "demons" thing. Also about the seventh sin....he should be geting revealed soon...hopefully...

[@BuddMcAwesome]

the one shot chapter showed elisabeth with so much personality, and was completely destroyed by the editor possibly because that personality and fun attitude is completely gone by the time the first chapter of the serialised version kicked in . the edits were obviously forced and that pig-pub thing was a giant mechanical steampunk spider-pub... A GIANT MECHANICAL STEAMPUNK SPIDER PUB... what was so wrong about that they had to change it!?

[@CrazyCactuar42]

While the Steampunk spider bar is awesome, it would've conflicted with the whole medieval setting.

[@BuddMcAwesome]

Nope i disagree. it would just make the setting more unique

[@trebot9292266]

if you've looked the general flow of the series thus far, there is no tech, only really magic. So having steampunk in there with it would require the flow of the show to change.

[@BuddMcAwesome]

Season 2 made this series better. I'm excited to see it go further.

[@N0XEL]

In the manga power levels are a thing so power ups for most character happen pretty often, even hawk, so I don't see Meliodas being op a problem.

[@KazeVongola]

There is a manga called "Ubel Blatt", that has a very similar premise (came out before 7DS), but with a much darker tone. I'm still hoping for an anime adaptation, but because the manga (probably) has mature rating it is highly unlikely. Then again we do have multiple anime adaptations of Berserk, so I'm still hoping.

[@Kuma5655]

I kinda like how overpowered the sins are. It gives more backing to their titles and while they'll have to present them with a real challenge later to stay interesting it's nice to establish their strength.

[@rirdan9342]

Meliodas is super OP, but the show makes it work. The intent here isn't to have a big bad villain that they all can't kill (Mostly), but to just enjoy the journey of Melodias and his crew.

[@stuffwithsoph8264]

Without the fan service, and if Elizabeth was a better character, The Seven Deadly Sins would be so much better. But I love Ban as a character, I also love how it shows the Sins as more than just "horrible" people.

[@davemarx7856]

I'm a bit older. DBZ was not my first anime. And for a good while I just stopped being interested in anime. But now, I know there's a large selection of anime to watch... more than I can really filter through. Admittedly, that's my own fault for dropping anime like a hundred pound weight that just didn't want anymore. So, I've been looking around the Tube for... Anime. Anime lists, anime favorites, anime genres, anime reviews. And I'm glad I found yours. Out of the videos I've been looking through over the past two weeks, yours is the one that I've found to be the most informative. Most are just vague lists that gather 5-10 genre specific anime. Others are reviews but... they lack a bit of professionalism. People sitting in front of their computer after having just watched an episode of their favorite anime and blurting praise or criticism. You, however, clearly approach your reviews over time. I'm guessing that you write a script, edit the script, revise the script, ball up the script in frustration, write a new script and then finally record some footage. Then you probably cut half of that footage. This review has made me subscribe. I'll look at a few videos over time and I'm confident I'll be able to find animes that I can enjoy. I'm confident in that because of the information you gave in this review. And the information you didn't. I don't think I heard you say the word "spoiler" even once. Probably because you contemplate the review before writing or recording. So you plan from the beginning not to include major spoilers. That's good. But the information you gave me was even better. You told me how short the series is, you readily admitted the shows tropes even after stating your enjoyment of it. You're honest about what the show does well, what it doesn't do well, what you like about it and what others might not like about it. I'm rambling at this point. Great Review. Subscribed. 🍺😆

[@sunshine5721]

Well actually meliodas is one of the most sad characters. he just hides his emotions

[@Denied1213]

Elizabeth is totally into Meliodas and got less nervous over his actions over time. It's implied that she doesn't quite 'get' what's wrong with whats happening- she was locked away and sheltered and got very little "education" and at first she was afraid to have him stop helping her. It's never quite explained that way in the manga or anime, but implied quietly. Subtext is actually one of the Seven Deadly Sins' strong points, surprisingly. In many ways, this season covered the "Prologue". I hope they make a season two, soon after where it ended here, both of your character complaints are answered. In many ways, Meliodas being OP was a driving force for things to coalesce, and establishes precisely how hard things are going to get.

[@nightflame2037]

Could you update it with season two out now? Maybe it's just my own bias towards the show (it probably is xD) but it feels like some of the problems you mentioned in this get fixed with season two- especially the OP stuff. With Meliodas, it really gets well explained in my opinion, and he does face challenges in season two. Ban does, too, but not as much, I'll be honest. I don't know... Season one got me interested in SDS, but season two made me feel satisfied that I started watching it

Loved that in almost every fight, I got the feeling that they actually fought with the intent to kill and there was no moral dilemma or moping about it like in akame ga kill. They are skilled soldiers who kill for a living. And the tone of the show at first was that, when the first kill happened I was pleasantly shocked. The first impression of the show was pg-13, minimum blood and only knock-outs, but people actually died in the show, it was awesome. almost a little madoka surprise to the show.

[@goncaloferreira6429]

Season 1 review 1- 7 deadly sins doesnt trick you, it immediately shows you the tone it is going for, nonsensical and impossible to take serious, even on the later episodes. 2- Full of cliché characters and situations. 3- Mostly uninteresting characters, both heroes and villains. Everyone has a sad backstory, told in flashback pieces or episodes. That is normal but the execution is everything. 4- Intro and outro songs not great. 5- very well animated fights but the fights themselves lack stakes 6- meliodas is op and doesnt use his special trait at a crucial moment, leading to a forced and nonsensical finale.

How about making this "Review Week Of Awesome" an every week thing? I mean, keep the same level of quality and all that, only do it every single day, including Saturday. If you make them, my end of the deal will be to watch them, so I guess that's a pretty equal workload between us, right? Oh, and not only will I watch them all, but so will everyone else. So all you gotta do is research, watch, write script, record, and edit. Easy! (Haha I guess sane GR would be the compromise for my idea. Love these reviews greatly and how the review seems to come from a place of love for the medium. Gigguk's "The Perfect Anime" video should be seen as well, and I consider these two to be the best along with my other personal favorites Digibro and DXFan69 as the go in depth and make long reviews that analyze what makes them tick. Love this guys, and we who love anime as fans should be sharing and respecting one another as it would make the experience even more enjoyable.)

Good review as always , though im kinda seeing a pattern in shonen anime. You kinda tend to "forget" that not all anime were ment to be 1x 25/1x 13 episode season and that alot of writers still strife to get a weekly manga going like one piece. I think all shonen anime creators want the same popularity as one piece and tend to "plan" for a loooong show , so yes only 6 sins were seen in this season , but s2 is coming next year :D
