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!

A really fun anime.
moviemaker-705-4778977 August 2018
A great and fun action anime. I like the second opening of this season 1. I like the characters, the animation and the action sequences. I suggest 14 and up. If mature enough 12 and up. The English dub is pretty good for the most part. If you like shonen anime, give it a shot.
First 3 seasons 10/10, last 2 are 4/10.
brandon-benzi18 September 2021
Beautiful first 3 seasons, both in cinematics and the progressive evolution of the story, one piece at a time. Character presentation is the best point of the series, together with battle cinematics.
4th season is absolutely to forget, terrible with obscene drawings and pointless developements in the story.
Last season got better with drawings but still levels under the first 3. Storytelling is quite good this time but the ending turnt out to me pretty hurried and banal.

Epic in the making
abhilash-nanda198831 October 2014
In the ocean of animes, you find only a few gems. Most of them are roughs, but this one is cut.
This series boasts of Yuki Kaji (Eren: Attack on Titan fame) at the helm, with Hiroyuki Sawano (Again Attack on Titan fame) commanding the music and composition with **PERFECT** blend of humor, epic badassery and great emotional quotient while creating an universe with potential of grand scale wars.
I particularly like the main lead who seems the smallest but is actually the strongest with a idealistic mindset, I know, I know it's total shounen, but also shows a gleam of maturity which makes you wonder what he can do when he is angry. Am really waiting for it to see.
Another high point in the series is the interaction between the various Sins till now, they are different from each other like ice and fire, but remain together with a strong both. This makes the lead the most impressive that he can manage such diverse powers and knit them in a group.
Music is top notch as expected which creates the tensions extraordinarily. If at all just listen to the music, it's just awesome.
The pig is another character which serves as the friend and brother of our protagonist (again unusual interactions) and is the great comic element of the show.
I would say just go and watch it. It's fun and has something for everyone.
I would like to give it 9.5/10. But I will give it 10, for it warms my heart with its incredible music and great storyline. **PERFECT**.

Fantastic
thefamousman25 April 2018
The anime is fantastic, the start is a bit strange at first, but you would love it later. The story is one of the best i have seen. The animation is decent. The thing i love most about it is the characters. Everyone of them is so special and different (especially the Main character). If you want a postitive anime with a great story, awesome fights and adventures, and last but not least funny moments, than thats what you are looking for.
Slow, then fast, then breathtaking
ostaph2 November 2017
This show starts off pretty slow for a couple of episodes as it sort of staggers when all the main characters start showing up. The show is very good. The music is amazing, and always changes every few episodes, while keeping the same feeling. The characters are extremely memorable, they all are different aspects of the 7 deadly sins, and thus creating very differing and interesting dynamics between the characters. The story, while sometimes admittedly cheesy, is extremely good and has lots of meaning to it. I was severely depressed before watching this show, but this show really portrayed the beauty of life, the grimness, and the silliness all in a perfect balance that really keeps things interesting throughout every single episode. I would highly recommend giving this show a watch, it's truly something special.
My Absolute Favorite Anime
mariaivanova-098118 November 2015
Out of all the Anime i have ever watched this is one hundred percent my favorite.I definitely recommend this to everyone and would love to see it get more attention.One reason i recommend this is that the characters are great (especially Ban and Elizabeth).Another reason is that the music is beautiful especially the opening,(Netsujō no Spectrum)i cant stop listening to it. Also i have to say that the animation is great. Lastly i cant not mention the story which has lots of moments which surprise you but they are spaced just so there not to common or rare.So over all this is an amazing anime which i believe deserves a ten out of ten rating.
Loli shounen
Movi3DO9 September 2021
Sate Sate Sate...
A shounen full of loli and explosions.
In the first three seasons, this anime was not too bad. It definitely presented itself as a typical shounen anime. However, many characters had great charms, making the show refreshing enough to be fun. The characters were not bad either, especially the side characters. I liked Ban the most with his touching and sad backstory that I can feel for. Other sinners like Diane and King were pretty good also.
However, about season 4 until the end, the story became messy with mostly crazy strong characters one up each other and explode stuff. Then season 5, the last season came and the series just became silly. The second half of the last season was completely pointless and random. With its big array of characters, many were out of place and should not be in the series in the first place. The most annoying character of all was the pink pig Hawk, with its sole purpose of being useless and screaming throughout.
The animation in an anime usually should not be a detrimental aspect to the judgement of the whole series, but in this instance it is. I cannot take the show seriously as everything looked like kid toys and angry children.
Overall, it was painful watching the later end of the series. Rating of each season: 7/10, 6/10, 7/10, 6/10, 4/10. As a whole, 5.5/10.

Great Show!
mercfma13 December 2015
~*!Make sure to watch each episode from the very beginning(before the opening song) and also after the ending song! If you skip it or let Netflix auto play you WILL miss content and backstory of the show!!*~ So I saw this on Netflix and a friend watched it and bugged the crap out of me to watch it, so i did. I was not disappointed, it had everything i look for in a "good/decent" anime. To start things off one of the main characters is a talking animal which is hilarious, he's one of the best characters from any show not just one of the typical "animal characters". If your into the typical shounen animes like "Naruto, Bleach, Fairy Tail, Hunter x Hunter, One Piece", etc its a given, you ARE going to enjoy this show. Now to start it off i love the animation and the artwork, the world the show takes place in is beautiful it completely immerses you into that "fairy tale" type atmosphere with the forests everywhere and all the mysteries of the world itself. The fight scenes are awesome, completely over powered, over the top fighting. The story is very straight and to the point right from go, and that in a way kind of makes the show feel a little shallow & rushed but it works for it & I still think its one of the better shows. I do wish they would of drug the show out just a little more though, I feel that would of given it more of an emotional bond & room for more details making it not as "empty?" feeling(not sure if thats the correct word to describe what i mean but i think you'll understand after watching it). The music is amazing! Both the opening and ending themes are all really enjoyable and can be listened to over and over again and the music & sounds during the show are great and all match well. I love the voice acting for the English dub, I thought they were all great and everyone matched very well. Every single character is great, from the main crew to the side characters they're all fun and a really good cast. At the time of writing this their is currently two OVA episodes which i highly recommend watching if you enjoyed the series as they both shed details to the story that you probably don't want to miss out on & are funny as well.
4/5 Why? Its really funny, definitely one of the funnier shows I've seen lately. The characters are all freaking awesome & cool, if your into completely overpowered, over the top fighting then this show is right up your ally. The animation is great, especially the fight scenes and the artwork of the world itself is some of the most memorable from any show I've seen. Music is great, enjoyable opening and endings, the English dub is amazing i loved it entirely. My only sort of complaint is the story, it's very simple and straight to the point & almost a little rushed making the show feel like "something" is missing. But it is just the first season so perhaps with the continuation of the show it will go more in depth. That being said though this is definitely one of the better shows, its hilarious, has awesome fights & abilities, great dub, and awesome memorable characters. Can't wait to see whats in store for the upcoming season!

Incredible start, lackluster finish
LeArgonaut2 October 2021
Signs of a Holy War and Revival of The Commandments were absolutely incredible. I've watched them over again a few times now, and it doesn't get old for me. The first half of Dragon's Judgement was also pretty good, as I am a big fan of Van.
Aside from that the show went pretty downhill. It went from cool fight scenes and a good story to everyone trying to establish that love and friendship is the force that beats all. At some points they actually start discussing relationships during fight scenes, as opposed to showing any actual action. Very disappointing as this was one of my favorite series.

Starts on perfection, disapoints shortly after
adrianojvds5 July 2021
Warning: Spoilers
You start watching it and it's perfect, the plot, the animations, it just grabs you on your seat and you just want to keep watching episode after episode until the second season ends. Then, here comes the third season, the fights start do become almost dull and it's mostly one puch or kick or some sort of technique with some weird name that ends it. At the fourth season and so on, it's even worse, apart from the drawings don't even look the same, the fights are based on big lights or explosions with one or two moves, when I say one or two moves it's literaly someone lowering an arm or flinching a finger, and boom, explosion, all, the, damn, time. Dunno what happened but the show died from there on, the romance multiplied 20x and the plot twists are over 9000! Just managed to watch the 5th season, with much cringe, just to see what was going to happen, at the end, instant regret. Don't know if i'll have the will to see a 6th season.
The Seven Deadly Sins is deadly good fun.
Johnny-the-Film-Sentinel-21876 April 2017
I love anime; there's no curve-balling around that argument for me. It's one of Japan's finest contributions to the world of entertainment, and The Seven Deadly Sins is an entertaining albeit derivative piece of that ever-expanding yet established medium.
We have a pretty-boy protagonist, an animal sidekick, a hot-chick, a giant hot-chick, an immortal tough-guy, and a green pig who's as big as a mountain. And considering the oddities in anime, this isn't that odd a thing to have in a show of Deadly Sin's ilk.
There's good animation, good scenery and nice action to top it all off. The characters are well done, though they're not anything groundbreaking for animes in general.
Seven Deadly Sins is a solid watch you should probably check out whenever you like. After all, it is on Netflix. And this is worth an anime fan's time.

Really Great Anime
princess-mii2228 April 2018
Loved watching this one. It had a good mix of fantasy and action. The storyline always kept me entertained. I wish it was longer! I need to find another show to fill it's place.
They do over sexualize some characters, but you will find that in a lot of animes.

Writing is very good. The story hooks you in and, at the end of each episode, I wanted to know what happened next. BTW, it took me a few episodes before I caught on that there was usually a short scene, *after* the end credits of each episode, that was relevant to the storyline.
Our heroes are likable and, for the most, pretty easy to identify with on a basic human level.
Probably my most favorite character is Hawk, the talking pig. Aside from being able to talk and fly, he really has no special powers. But he, at times, exhibits a courage and decency that outshines some of the heroes.
In terms of audience, it's probably best geared for an adult audience. There's a bit of sexually suggestive boobs and buttocks humor that was a bit tasteless and not really essential to the storyline or the character involved.
All in all, it teaches you about human values and life without becoming preachy or pedantic. In this, it reminds me of the anime, "Avatar: the Last Airbender".
I am hoping this series does well enough that they will add at least a couple more seasons to it..

Good but goes down hill a bit

This is a tale of ancient times, an era before the human and none human worlds were forever divided. When the holy knights defended the realms wilding their magical powers they were feared and highly respected, but among them a group emerged that betrayed the kingdom and became immortal enemies to the Holy Knights. They were known through out the land as the seven deadly sins.
The first season was brilliant
The Second season was also excellent
The Third was definitely the worst season.
The Fourth season was better then the third but still wasn't as good as the first two.
The animation when A1 was handling the series was top quality but when Studio Deen took over while it wasn't an abomination but you can easily it declined in quality.
The dub by Bang Zoom Entertainment was good as usual with a top tier cast.
The intro's and endings were both great can't remember if there was one I didn't like.
Still though regardless of it's faults I still enjoyed the series and it's two films.

Seasons 1-3 are great, 4 is horrible
nico-18516 August 2020
Season 1-3 has great character development, good fights, good fun and a great story line. Clearly 8/10.
Season 4 is beyond horrible. The fun has completely gone, the story is a complete mess and the worst part is the "ending" if you choose to suffer though all the episodes hoping it will somehow improve A 2/10. Something went horrible wrong here.

saprater23 December 2016
I first tuned into The Seven Deadly Sins a couple months ago, watched maybe 3 episodes and then cast it aside as some sort of weird, overly fluffy cartoon. Couldn't, for the life of me, figure out why Netflix recommended it to me or it came with such a high rating. Then, after having it pop up in some lists a few more times, I decided to sit through one more time. A few more episodes in and I was hooked!
This one didn't win me over from the very start. The heroine starts off a vapid crybaby. The hero is a bit of a perv and painfully optimistic and happy. Plus, he looks like a kid, which make his pervy nature even more disturbing. However, once the action starts, you see the more serious side to these characters and a surprisingly intriguing plot that does not leave you unsatisfied. It's a really interesting blend of Arthurian legend and Dante's Inferno with some glimpses of the same comedic/action/drama pull as FMA. Can't wait for season 2!

Great up until dragons judgement
pepipup6 October 2021
The series is comical, it has quite the good humour i wasnt expecting. The story is a bit manic at times but you grow to love it.
My problem is by the 4th series, imperial wrath of gods... youll find yourself overwhelmed by so many characters to keep track of. This is forgivable because you see progression in certain characters which is great to see.
Now dragons judgement.. dont even bother.
I was so disappointed by that series, the lack of care to the story, the animation is so lazy as if they no longer care for their audience. (Like im talking old style freeze frames with minimal movement, which would be fine if it werent for the fact that the rest of the series animation had been perfect) I lost respect for the creators because, yes you made films, yes youve stretched the story out... but you did that.. if your going to create another series it need to be on par with the rest.

A wonderful anime
asselandstrom15 July 2018
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).
Why season 4-5...?

The only show who's last season worst than GOT
deshaunlover15 August 2021
Unbeatable Anime in some Aspects for sure.
darshantejani0073 December 2017
One of the BEST Anime + Manga ever watched.
The anime is surprisingly positive, unlike the impression we get from hearing its name for the first time. Even though it starts off slow, it picks up the pace like an exponential curve. This is a must watch whether you are a fan of Shōnen or not. I couldn't stop myself but read the manga on the very day I completed the 1st season. The power- ups are really amazing and carefully thought out for each and every character.
This series boasts off its incredible universe just like Naruto. The story-line gets better and better. The art of story-telling of this series is as good as a story from Oda ( creator of One piece). A well thought story from the very first episode, just like the Harry Potter Universe. The story and its characters are perfect blend of Love, friendship, Dreams, Morals and Trust.
Even though it shows groping/butt-grabbing of the main Characters in the initial episodes, I request you to please be patient. The manga explains all about it eventually. So please don't lose your mind over that. This is all a part of the plot.
Points:
10 points for the animation. Positivity keeps spilling out of the Anime.
10 points for the Characters. I think this is the U.S.P. (Unique selling Point) of the Anime. Every single member the Sins has been given enough backstory. I definitely feel attachment to the characters after one point in time.
9 points for the story-line. Although I would give here 10 points if we were to count in the Manga! Manga fixes the missing links between the past and the present. Still I Can't deny the fact that this anime absolutely takes pride in the amazing story-line!
9 points for the Enjoyment. Though it has its own moments of fun, sometimes you get annoyed over the groping/butt-grabbing. Apart from that, I have sincerely enjoyed the entire Anime.
9.5 overall. It's a thrilling, positive, Action-packed, Full of Mystery and Adventurous Anime.
To summarize, This is an action-mystery-adventure anime which is going to get loads of better in the upcoming Season 2. I'd suggest you to take part in the Sin of giving this anime a shot. Definitely worth it.

"Ayy, Captain"
nerminegergis3 May 2020
It's heartwarming in a sense. They somehow take you from the laptop screen and get you super invested in the story. Every character unfolds, little by little and no matter how ugly it gets, you find yourself indulging in the details and grasping what's happening. At no point, you will be lost or bored.
I highly recommend this.
