Studio Deen didn't produce this episode apparently (because of holidays) that's why it's so bad, and they will remake the fight, next episode should have way better animation!!there's a rumour that they tweeted this.

Aside from how Elizabeth and friends handle Melascula, this episode is utter garbage
Well, to be exact, the animation of Escanor vs Meliodas is the one which is utter garbage
That epic fight presented with 3rd rate animation, my eyes can't take it

Please tell me the whole season isn't this bad.. please someone for the love of god please.. wow taizai was 1 of my favorite series that has to be a joke but comparing season 1-2 review score to season 3 i guess not...


If you are a manga reader..you wouldn't be dissapointed in ep4..Best animation of this season ..

Nah honestly i'm an anime only fan but series i really like i normally watch manga chapter reviews. Yeah it spoils a lot of things but that doesn't bother me it makes me even more excited once the anime/season comes out.
But ep4? I haven't seen that yet as i said i just wanted to see the escanor vs meliodas fight so skipped around for it y'know? Waiting for all episodes to come out but this season seems like a bummer... So many still frames, bad animation, characters look wtf, etc~

Oh yeah because the fight ended this episode. And it's not like this is the worst this animation been this season. No there's no chance that the studio dropped all the funds they have on the next episode and that they're trying to make the next episode the best episode of this season. There now way that might be happening.

I haven't even read the manga, but something seemed really off with this episode.

The direction was awful, some of the animation was terrible, and even Sawano's OST didn't fit with some scenes. Melodias and Escanor had huge potential to be a massive showdown and it felt flat.

Let's hope they've skimped on the budget this episode and ploughed it into the next one.

Is this a fan theory or something? It makes no sense

That is a "foreshadowing" explained. If you know what I am talking about, Ban has a skill called Mark which he can activate from distance after he puts it by hand on his enemies. Now, when the battle was over and Meliodas had shown to be getting more violent and uncontrollable, Ban put his hand on Meliodas' shoulder for a second. Either they foreshadowed Ban's cautiousness and how he prepared for the worst case scenario, or they completely missed a chance to foreshadow it. Time will tell.
I don't remember a skill like that and I've read the manga. Did I forget?

I believe you did. Just google it. If I remember correctly, the last time he used it was on Melascula or someone during the Elaine-Revived episodes.

after sleepless nights for my most anticipated anime in 2019 and also the best fight scene i had ever prayed for meliodas vs escanor, the manga was so heavenly but after seeing the beginning of the series i was astonished as to how terrible the anination was but i still held on to the show because i had hope that things might end up going well in the upcoming episodes but now i give up there is no coming back for this show it is over i am terribly disappointed, to me a rating of 6. is too much for them

Honestly, to the person who chose Studio Deen instead of A-1 Pictures (who've done the manga justice the past 2 seasons), you have made a grave mistake.

KallenKaslana said:
Bring back A1 Pictures! This season just got ruined by Deen. Where in this season are supposed to be very very good, and all this sh** turn like a cr*p.

There was no chosing. A1 is owned by Aniplex which was main sponsor/producer of previous anime but it bailed out after movie's failure. Newly created production commitee picked what ever studio was available.

Animation production doesn't work the way you think. Episodes aren't made during a week. They are made few weeks before and even then sometimes delays happen. Doesn't matter that Deen outsourced this episode to other studio. They are still animation studio resposible for this show so if animation looks like shit, it's their fault.
Even if episode will be redone for blurays I doubt it will be close to good animation.

Omg the animation in this ep is pretty bad. Studio DEEN actually ruined them all. I can see the potential of this ep but this is done wrong in many levels. Character face and drawing is bad. Melascula is completely static and definitely NOT well-animated. Music choice is also terrible. Pacing is off. Dialogue flow is worst. Fluidity is nowhere to be seen. Static character drawing translation can be clearly seen. Meliodas raging comes out from thin air.

I hate Ban Elaine relationship in this ep. She is useless and willing to sacrifice herself for no reason even if there are other possible ways as shown in this ep. It doesn’t make sense.

Escanor vs Meliodas is a joke.

Almost All the eps in this season is bad, but this ep is EXCEPTIONALLY BAD. I shouldn’t bring my hopes up for future.

It can clearly be seen that average people hate or dislike this ep. from the score.

I decided to lower the overall score from 7/10 to 6/10 due to this ep.
Enjoy your day sometimes.

I didn't watch this season of NNT Because I heard it's very bad, So after this episode was aired I checked youtube to see the fight of Mel vs Escanor and goosh, I literally laughed during watching it.

And I'm here just to add 1/5 to the votes. Bless you Studio Deen.

I can understand some of the criticism, the animation is worst that the 2 prequels of this anime, that's a fact, but is not bad (at least not at worrysome levels like first 2 seasons of dragon ball super). But some of it it's also a nonsense, the fight between Meliodas and Escanor has not happened jet, it has to come on next episode, I didn't read the manga so maybe I'm wrong. You have to think also that is hard to not cut on something from the magas, you can't put it all on the anime on 24 episodes sometimes they do a better job than others, since I din't read the manga I don't know which scenes have they cutted off.

Going to read the manga when I have time and maybe I can elaborate it a bit better or maybe I see that I'm wrong and I join the cry team.

Ugh maybe they are fan of the manga? Maybe they are hyped so much about the sequel since they know the continuation and want to know how the anime looks? Maybe they watch the anime only but they like previous seasons so it makes sense they continue to watch just so they know the story progression? Or maybe they still put faith to this series since again, they are fan of this series?

And they do HAVE right to complain many times if something ruining their favorite manga/anime, it's their right to give their opinion. So what? If your favorite thing being butchered or ruined so bad to the point you can't enjoy it no more the answer is "Don't watch it then and don't you dare criticize it even if you are the fan of the manga/previous seasons"?
No offense, but that's not a good statement at all..
