What, Vivian is also in this OVA episode? Ugh..doesn't look like her obsession with Gil is over yet.

At least Merlin is also in this episode. Best mage in the series :D
I find it slightly amusing at how Vivian got punished by her, as always. Merlin looks good in her working outfit too! God I can't take Gowther seriously with that pink shirt

Eh, overall I think the special series were okay, nothing too great but has its funny moments here and there.

Also, nice ending, good tease for the second season.

lol~ Megane guy already wore outfit for the shop. Asking for Sakamoto-san's character's help on the shop, which gets fewer customers. She wants them to follow Mamo's character who seems to get followed by recently. The attacker seems to attack others with magic except Mamo's character.

A lonely boy got megane guy and wants him to hang out. It turns out he looks like his deceased mother.

lol @ "full counter" just using sugar cube. She is the lady (with mask) who fell for Mamo's character from first season, and wants him to drink the pill that charm him to her. Showing how cruel Sakamoto-san's character by giving her cursed ring. She told her the real scary side of Majin.

The group has told about the king's visions. It has already begun, though.

Announcement about new TV series.

And so it ends. Tbh, the side stories were enjoyable, but the ending parts of this specials with Hendricksen and Dreyfus were the best parts.

And at the end the demons will finally be released. Cannot wait for the next season!

OVA felt kinda pointless overall unless you were REALLY craving slice-of-life with these characters. They reestablished who these characters are over these four episodes, but jammed almost all of the actually plot-relevant details into the end of the first episode and the end of the fourth.

Anyway, the important bits for anyone who watched this RAW, didn't understand what was going on, and couldn't wait for subs:

Episode 1: Meliodas confronts a goddess (I think?) speaking through a horn about a lie she told a friend of his (?). She then taunts him about how if everyone knew the truth about his sin, they'd all leave him. He then destroys the horn, and declares that he has things he'll put his life on the line to protect, even if it makes everyone his enemy. She laughs at him.

Episode 4: Suspicious signs/omens coming from the direction of the new and rapidly-expanding kingdom of Camelot to the south. Then a warning that if the red demons awaken they'll take over the world, which segues directly into that one guy from S1 breaking the seal/curse placed by the goddess(es?) on the demons and awakening them from their (not so) eternal slumber.

A-1 must have a lot of confidence in Nanatsu no Taizai to have made what's a 4 episode teaser for season 2.

Note: I don't read the manga so I don't know all the terminology & names, and I only remember the general plot of S1.

This OVA series was so full of down right fillerish content.
You'd think they'd make it their priority to reclaim the items needed to resurrect the 10 commandments ASAP but nope they're just full SOL mode, even if they thought that they wiped Drefyus and Hendrickson, you'd still suspect that they had an ally trying to do the same thing.
So tired of the Hendrickson and Drefyus endless storyline btw, just give it a conclusion already and move on with the 2, it's still ongoing to this day.
So Merlin cursed what's her name huh, that wasn't in the manga, seems odd to add such a thing considering the recent event of the manga
What's her name called Merlin a demon, dropping some hints huh.
"Children of the sun" did he just say that in the enchantment lmao? I don't really remember that in the manga.

Really what's the point of showing "him" in the op and the end of this episode if you're not gonna do anything with him, just keep him as a surprise for season 2.
S2 should be named "Nanatsu no Taizai - Praise Za fucking sun", I expect S2 to be better than S1, don't drop the ball on this series A1.

I think the side stories are a bit unnecessary somehow.As this is an intro for s2,they should focus more on the ending part rather than side story.Though I agree that the side stories really helps character description.

Overall,this series is fairly good but could be better,because somehow the layout of the story is more likely s2 but unlikely an intro for s2

Anyway pretty pointless episode besides the quick mention of the 10 commandments and the after credits scene.

Unless you want episode 3's KingxDiane content, these 4 episodes didn't have much to offer.

Yeah, I'm pretty much sick and tired of waiting for the subs at this point, and it doesn't sound like there was much substance in this anyway, as was the case with the three episodes before this one.

Oh well, onto season 2 we go.

Couldn't find a subbed version which is a shame

So much Merlin and she's mah fave so I want to know what she was actually saying
The waitress outfit was cool but it just didn't look right on her idk

But man, the two biggest hype moments in there:

- The silhouettes of a certain group of demons appeared during that whole Merlin/Vivian thing and I think all the manga readers here will have recognised them

- The guy heading in to the cave at the end, legit had to stop myself from screaming when I saw him bcos you know the devastation his hype train will cause

I've already accepted the fact that this anime has been a major letdown since the first episode, but I'd still like to finish it.

Why is it taking them so long to sub the last episode?

If we do get a season 2, I hope it'll be better than this filler abomination.

Just a rant.

Well, Nakaba Suzuki sensei really wrapped up the mess A1-Pictures did on season 1.
But I'm still angry with them because they promised a second season last year. But this shit we had got.
Anyway, since this is a just a bridge to the second season, I'll rate it a 6 (or 8 if I feel like it) out of 10 score overall.
Haters always gonna hate.

Nice final episode. Nice to see more Merlin & Gowther.
LOL Gowther & Hawk in the Boar's hat uniform. Merlin looks great in one.

Gowther trying to cheer up the little kid. So confused about Human emotions.
So Vivian was after Gilthunder & thats what she looks like.

Merlin can be really scary. That curse ring.
Arthur & Camelot are under attack.

Ohh Ten Commandments & Escanor tease at the end. Excited for the announcement for Season 02.
Overall a nice 4 episode special & wonderful to see the Sins again.

7/10.

there's a sub on 7deadlysins tv. It's not by a top sub group but it's good enough to still understand the whole thing.

Gowther, as always, is pretty adorable and funny. I was surprised that we didn't focus more on him, though I wasn't expecting Vivian to return. She's crazy!

The animation could have been a bit better this episode (Gilthunder, Howzer, and Griamore looked off in a lot of frames), but this was easily the best show A-1 put out this anime season, even with it being 4 episodes (B-Project was incredibly inconsistent, and don't get me started on Qualidea Code's animation).

All this foreshadowing and plot build-up is getting me excited for more to come. I'll definitely be watching the second season when it comes out, and I'm interested to see if it'll be stronger as a whole.

Oh, and Ban is still the best character from this series. I also wish we got a little bit more from him, but Episode 2 was probably enough. XD

Overall. this was cute, entertaining, and not what I expected from this show at all, but in a good way. 9/10

Glad to see Pelio was finally introduced in the anime! I was worried he was going to show up right when it was most convenient for the plot.

Overall a fun 4-episode special. A lot of filler along with some key events...7/10. And now to wait for season 2!

This was some pretty decent filler material while we wait for the second season. It was funny at some points, but I mostly cared for the post-credit scenes with Dreyfus and Hendrickson. This episode's post-credit scene was such a huge cocktease, hopefully season 2 comes soon! And that cameo at the end......

Props to Nakaba on trying to fix up A-1's bullshit by adding Pelio in this episode.

Lol Vivian sorta got her promise ring from her precious Gil, so in the end everybody's happy right?

This was overall ok. Not really hyped for the new season because I know that A-1 is going to fuck that up as well.

Fun episode, Gowther as always still trying to understand the emotions of humans. XD

Merlin looked good in the waitress outfit. :3

So the 10 genereals of the demon king are called ten commandments and they're gonna be our main antagonists for the next arc? The finial minutes were interesting, Did Hendrickson release the demons? :o

7/10 , Episodes were fillerish but still fun to watch but the entire show was mostly like a huge teaser for the 2nd season.
Wondering if I should pick up the manga or wait for the next season now since I wanna know what happens.

Overall, too slice of lifeish for my tastes (considering it could be interwoven into an exciting regular narrative pretty easily).

Also, the last 10 seconds weren't subbed. Are these the teasers for the second season or what?
