    If you want to see an anime with great story, great charachters (with good voice-actors) , breathtaking soundtrack, beautiful animations and want to see the concept of all the 7 deadly sins in an anime, this is just the series for you. In my opinion this is by far the best anime i've seen, and oboy have i seen good anime, for exampel dbz, dbs, aot, naruto, fma, fmab and this just beats them all to be honest (especially with the soundtrack).

    I love this anime series, one of the only actual good ones out there. I really hope they make a proper 2nd series. And maybe even a 3rd series. My favorite episode was when King remembered the days when him and Diane were living together because it was so adorable also how squeaky Diane's voice used to be was a bit shocking.

    I have to point out right from the start that I've only watched the first 4 episodes and intend to watch the whole season or to the point that annoys me more than it manages entertain.Reading some of the other user reviews I saw that people get put off by the over-sexualisation of the main character, that doesn't bother me as much as the non responsiveness of the girl who's the victim of his groping. I just think having breasts and buttocks being copped merits a response, any response at all would be nice and would certainly add to the comedic effect. Some characters are to bland while the others are over the top but still they manage to be likable.The story is decent as far as I've seen. The story-telling is too fast though. Some reviews mention plot twists, but twisting a plot that hasn't been fully explained or haven't been given time to settle is wasted. Also I felt like the writers don't give us enough time to get immersed in the show's atmosphere before important plot points and new characters get introduced, that takes away from the importance of those moments.Fight scenes are crucial for this type of show, the ones I've seen so far are on the poor side. I truly expect them to get better as show progresses and things I figure should disappear or lessen considerably are: Scenes with series of unintelligible fast attacks. You know...when the two characters disappear and reappear in blurs and still images. That must've been cool when first seen but now just come of as lazy. Also characters shouting the names of the moves. So far the haven't explained anything about the source of the knights' power, maybe it doesn't matter, the names of the moves usually reflect the type of technique being used, the elemental power imbued or amount of power. Without any information regarding the source or kind of powers, tell me why I should care about that name.Conclusion: If you are addicted to TV shows as I am and you enjoy animes you should probably give it a chance. But if you are a hardcore anime fan looking for excellence, look elsewhere. I would compare it to Bleach, Seven Deadly Sins being a little more mature, or to the filler episodes of Naruto, with a less engaging background universe and more "freshness".

    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.
