Sin: Nanatsu no Taizai

Lucifer, an Archangel and former head of the Seven Heavenly Virtues, is banished from Heaven after revolting against the Lord's will. While plummeting from the skies, she is halted halfway between Heaven and Hell after crashing through the roof of a high school church. Though she is witnessed by Maria Totsuka, a soft-spoken student at the academy, Lucifer swiftly continues her descent into the depths of Hell.

Soon after her arrival, Lucifer is found by aspiring Demon Lord and fangirl Leviathan. The two decide to overthrow the Seven Sins, the authorities of Hell under the leadership of Belial. But with their combined powers, the Seven Sins are able to repel Lucifer and contain her divine powers by placing a Garb of Punishment over her body, transforming Lucifer into a Demon Lord.

Longing for revenge and accompanied by Leviathan, Lucifer makes her way back to Earth, where she forces Maria to become her immortal slave. Together with her new accomplices, Lucifer sets out on a mission to subdue the Seven Sins so she may be free of the curse brought upon by her Garb.

That moment you realize you've been rooting for Hell to win....

I'm surprised that i'm only now watching this. I enjoyed this.

The art is awesome, Especially when you realize this is very echi material in this and shows like that tend to be very low budget and very lazy art. If i had one complaint then i'd say its turn the fucking lighting down ffs. There are some scenes it can be hard to see anything.

I like all the characters and all but one of the Seven Sins.

Lucifer ( Pride) :
She being the main character means that she should be a fun character to have ... on screen. For the most part she is. I can't really recall anytime i found her to be annoying or have any flaw in her character really. I don't like how defenseless she can be. Especially when she is meant to be the strongest Angel ( Now Demon Lord) The amount of times she could've been killed but wasn't because of the villain is a ton. Also i got really confused with her name. Cause she is called Lucifer when that is the name of the Devil aka Satan. So i thought we were getting some alternate version of the bible that has the Devil/Satan start out in the modern day and some type of weird crap happens with time and even though it starts out in modern day it also affects the past or some dumb crap. But nope cause later we find out that a character named Satan is in this. Doesn't explain shit and i guess it's for the best.

Leviathan ( Envy ):
She is one of the two companions that Lucifer has. She can get annoying at times i'd say but for the most part she is a good comic relief character. Kind of sad that she doesn't have some ultimate form where when she is pissed she turns into some type of Leviathan that you'd find in old stories.

Astaroth ( Melancholy ) :
Not much to say about her. She was the first Sin we are introduced too that isn't all that rude. Makes sense cause her name is melancholy. Not the most interesting character but she isn't bad either.

Satan ( Wrath ):
Having someone named Satan and not having their attribute be Wrath is just plain wrong. Only other thing that would work for someone with such a name would be Slyness. I like her. Defiantly up there with my favorite. I especially like her character design. Her job of guarding the Gates of Hell also seems to be a very fitting position.

Asmodeus ( Lust ) :
She's a whore, Not much else to say...... Well i guess i do like her character but is one of the more forgettable conquest that Lucifer has to overcome and as a result not leaving much of an impact on the viewer.

Beelzebub ( Gluttony ) :
It'd figures that Japan would give the sin with the biggest reputation of being gross over indulgence to a cute and petite looking loli. She's also 1st or 2nd best girl and if you disagree then you're wrong. Also the only normal character among the group of sins.

Belphegor ( Sloth) :
The fuck is that tail ? That shit bugs me and i'm not even sure why. But the girl is fun and probably has one of the funnest conquest that Lucifer has to overcome.

Mammon ( Greed ) :
Now for Greed i'm not sure why but i like'd her character. Even with her having a forgettable Conquest. I don't know what it is about her. Also her putting people into dreams to take care of her babies by breast feeding the victims is an interesting power....

Belial ( Vanity ) :
With her it's just... She isn't all that exciting or interesting of a villain. The plot with her is so obvious that other characters start calling her out on not noticing it. For her to be the incarnation of Vanity she's also not all that special looking. You'd think she'd be more beautiful like a Princess then looking like a discount slut. She's also just not that great of a character overall. I guess she's not as bad as i make her out to be but i feel that they could've made her better.

Now with the one human character in this.

Maria ( She's a human so obviously this spot is N/A)
I like her and she is an awesome partner for Lucifer. I ship them and even the show does. I just wish we got more of her on the screen and i'd even love for us to see her interacting with her friends and family that have no idea where she went and see their reactions to Lucifer being around her.

Really the plot where God and Heaven are wanting to destroy earth is something i find to be dumb. It's like they had God just be a cliche typical villain that want's to destroy Humanity for X reason. We don't even see him.

I kind of wish we got a ending with both Maria and Lucifer together. I feel it'd be better.

Show also has some pretty awesome music, Especially that ED.

Overall a pretty fun show that i'm not sure why has such low reviews. If it's because you are watching the censored version then i feel that's not much of a reason and just find it somewhere else to watch. I defiantly see this being more at a position around a 7.4 - 8.0.

Mixed Feelings

Creating fiction around religion does not bother me one bit because to me religion is already fictional. This series has a great concept idea for the plot and characters but does not quite deliver it. For example, it's much easier to pull off an ecchi/near hentai story with Lust as the main character than any other.

Animation:
1) the visuals are inconsistent at times
2) the breasts either look weird or ugly and that's weird to me because I consider boobs beautiful
3) sometimes the characters' facial expressions do not match the emotions that they are expressing
4) animation and dialog aren't always synced
5) on ... the 9th episode, there's this bridge/path made of bones. When it breaks, you see the broken bones clearly but in the next sequence, the bones are instead turned into rocks and not only is that inaccurate in terms of Hell's mythology but also makes no sense in terms of continuity


Sound:
1) the soundtrack is poor with the exception of 1 or 2 songs
2) Sakuraba Arisa (Wrath/Satan) can't laugh at all which might be the reason why she doesn't have many roles


Story and characters:
1) I really like some of the ideas that this show presented: creating a story around Lucifer turning against God and becoming the King/Queen of Hell and proving that God is an hypocritical ego-maniac dictator and the rules he made up around the 7 deadly sins make no sense at all. I don't have a problem with the ecchi/near hentai scenes that obviously were the main focus for this anime but taking better advantage of the setting could've improved this show a lot. I also hated how the story is set in the present day.
2) The ending is anti-climatic and SPOILER: Maria's sacrifice felt pointless once she was revived.


For me this anime is a 5/10 mainly due to the waste of an amazing setting and premise.

Not Recommended

Yeah so this show wasn't that great but I overall liked it just because I thought the ecchi parts were good.
Ok so for the story part I thought the story was pretty meh idk I feel if anything it was more just basic and mediocre. yeah, nothing really special or great about that part.
The art was anything special either id say that was also just kinda meh. I mean the ecchi parts were good but I don't think that alone makes the art section go to being good.
The sound was whatever it didn't really stand out to me.
The characters were pretty ... bad tbh. I didn't really like any of the main girls, I thought a few of the other demon lords or whatever were interesting but the main cast didn't really interest me too much.
So in terms of overall quality, this id say this show is like a 3 like the story isn't great and the characters all suck like this really is just a pretty pure ecchi anime if you're watching this your probably not watching it because its good you're watching it because it got good "plot".
Anyway, this leads me to my personal liking for this show and id say that it's about a 6. Like yeah, it's mostly because the ecchi stuff is good, but tbh I've seen a ton of other shows that have good ecchi and good well other stuff so 6 is really as far as good ecchi will get with me, well maybe.
