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.

I've read only a couple of chapters and it looked really interesting. I do hope it does well.

This seems like Fairy Tail.

Will probably be better than Fairy Tail.

Well Fairy Tail doesn't set the bar too high.

Other than Kaji being absolutely unfitting for protag, this seems good.

«Chuckles» October 4th, 2014 12:00 AM

The manga is fairly meh when it comes to the quality of art but the anime looks pretty good.

Read it you'll see why

Weeaboo Name October 6th, 2014 7:52 AM

Well that wasn't very good. First impression is that I'll like the protagonist though.

derozio October 10th, 2014 2:57 AM

What's with this season and boob-grabs? First Parasyte and now this. XD;

First episode > FT's first episode. I'll probably like this more. But nowhere near best of the season for me. Liked the OST that plays when the MC stands upto that bulky general dude.

Weeaboo Name October 12th, 2014 3:12 PM

OST is by Sawano, noticed during the second episode.

derozio October 17th, 2014 10:08 PM

^ is that so? It seemed different enough from the generic style he's been using these days. Which is why I couldn't figure it out. :o

Either way, I liked how he caught and threw it back. Total style, brah. Would like to see the other sins - the giant girl should be interesting, hopefully! :p

Altairis October 18th, 2014 8:34 PM

Probably the opposite of you guys lol. I loved Fairy Tail so this probably won't be as good in my mind. I will probably like it but I can't really see it as being best of the season for me.

Weeaboo Name October 18th, 2014 9:30 PM

I don't think it'll be anywhere near best for me or dero either.

derozio October 22nd, 2014 12:38 AM

^ word.

But I'm enjoying this, surprisingly. Except for the fact that Melodias grabs Elizabeth's boobs and her ass at every single instance he gets the chance and the show is absolutely cool with it and it is played for laughs. I don't like that, to be honest. It was funny at first, I admit. But the joke got old. Now it just comes off as tasteless rather than legitimately funny. >_>

Weeaboo Name October 22nd, 2014 2:00 AM

It isn't supposed to be hilarious, it's fanservice.

derozio October 22nd, 2014 2:03 AM

It isn't working even when you consider it fan-service, though. Like, I'd get it if we get ass/cleavage close ups. But just ass/boob grabs? Naah.

Whatever you'd like to call it, I just find it tasteless and stupid in this show. Doesn't fit at all. >.>

Weeaboo Name October 22nd, 2014 2:09 AM

I think you will be in a minority on this topic. Is better than the asexual/beta protags we usually get in shounen mangos.

derozio October 22nd, 2014 2:12 AM

The problem it ultimately ends up creating is that it diminishes the role of the princess to that of merely a doll to be fondled. Which I dislike.

Weeaboo Name October 22nd, 2014 2:15 AM

It takes away from her role of standing around and looking pretty whilst men fight?

derozio October 22nd, 2014 2:19 AM

It takes away from whatever potential she'd hold in any dramatic scene yet to come. I mean, if she's so easily played around with, I'd take any dramatic scene focusing on her that much less seriously. I'd prefer her to be a useless character over the kind of character she is now - being a useless doll. Not even a character.

Weeaboo Name October 22nd, 2014 3:08 AM

Don't see it like that at all. She wants to achieve her goal and with the help of Mel she will do so. I'd put up with his bad habits as well in her situation too. Of course the writer wasn't thinking like that when he created her, he just wanted write a submissive qt.

The fact that her reaction isn't ''KYAAAAAA MC-KUN NO ECCCHIIII'' /slap is great.

derozio October 22nd, 2014 4:04 AM

I'd take a generic-as-**** "KYAA MC-KUN" /slap over comedy/fanservice like this any day.

But that's just me.

Anyway, moving onto something else, you did mention Sawano doing this but...apart from that track that played when Mel stood up to that knight in ep 1, nothing so far has sounded like Sawano to me. Does that mean Sawano is finally getting out of the shell he's carved for himself and is finally doing something different? I mean, AoT, KlK and Aldnoah had some REALLY close tracks.

You are what is wrong with the world then.

That is the bit that made me realise. How it breaks down to silence and then starts up again in full orchestral mode is certainly something I associate with him.

He is known for his 'epic' stuff and there haven't exactly been any moments for him to give that OST. If you listen to his soundtracks there are usually a few real memorable ones and a lot of standard stuff.

The Undisputed Era October 22nd, 2014 7:42 AM

I think I like the fact that Meliodas is a "Comedic" person but still has what seems like darker stuff locked up.

I'd love to see what will happen when he gets really enraged/angry.

Weeaboo Name October 22nd, 2014 7:43 AM

Spoiler..
Spoiler:
I think his wife died.

derozio November 17th, 2014 8:22 AM

I think the same I guess, Laptrap.

I've been enjoying this a lot more than I initially thought I would. The first 2 episodes were kinda meh in comparison to the latest ones. I've been liking it a lot more since Ban joined haha. Liking his character a lot. <3

Oh, and ojou-sama went and made herself useful in that latest episode! Pretty surprising considering how easily she's played around with generally. I didn't see that coming. :p

Strom Thunder December 4th, 2014 6:41 AM

The Anime used to be one of my favs. I watched it some months ago. I really loved the first 2 episodes. But I didn't continued further. Because it took time for the next episodes to get an online upload plus the site where I used to watch got me up with some advertisement !
