--Spoiler alert for season 1.--
"Nanatsu no Taizai is an amazing anime!" "It's so fun and well produced!" Or so they said. To be 100% honest, no clout chasing or hate for it, Nanatsu no Taizai is by far, one of the worst Netflix produced series of all time, this includes live-action series, even. But how does a terrible series get so famous and even a fourth season as I'm writing this?

Story: 6.
Not much to say, if you read the synopsis you can expect the show to be good, nontheless. If you thought that, you're dreadfully wrong. At least not that bad, but certainly simple and ... if you ask me, too simple. But to be fair, story is what show does the best, if we are counting fight scenes' context, even if sometimes it gets tedious as fuck.

Art: 5.
Why is it that this show is so shining and colorful? It's almost as if when watching it, you want to turn your monitor brightness to 6 or search for a night mode button. Now I know, some people don't really care about the art pallete, but man, this show has demons and they're almost the most bright red color humanly possible! Now, something good is fighting scenes, which aren't as bad as you would expect for such poor artstyle, and they can sometimes prove to be somewhat fun to watch! However such colours are hurtful to watch nontheless.

Sound: 5.
Now, I'm no sound expert, but I'm pretty sure the hitting sounds on this show are just the whip sound effect Jacksepticeye uses for his intro. Musically talking the OST is repetitive, and the soundfonts are recycled over and over and over again, and man, it's hard to listen it without thinking: "Isn't this the OP?"; however the melodies and composition are fairly good and interesting.

Character: 2.
And here is where the show just takes everything good it had and fucked it up! We have Meliodas, a disgusting, raping brat that is constantly harrassing Elizabeth every chance he has, and I can count with my fingers the episodes in which he didn't do... naughty things with the princess. And if having a dumb protagonist is not enough to convince you of how trash the anime is, how about saying that Ban and Helbram are the only characters who made me chuckle during the WHOLE FUCKING SERIES. If I were to explain why I hate every character besides them, I would take a LOOOOOONG fucking time. Their designs too are so fricking simple that it almost makes me feel like the manga was made by a 4 year old child; their way of interacting feels empty, and it doesn't quite feel like realistic.

Enjoyment: 3.
I hated watching this show. It hooked me sometimes, but no. Even if the second half is considerably better, it can't compensate the dumbness of the first 13 episodes. That is 13 over 11 episodes that I actually enjoyed! It was so unreal how I even made a deal with myself: If I give this season a 6 or more, I will watch the second season. Nope.

Overall: 4.4.
Would I recommend this show to a begginer? No, of course not. A good shounen is Mob Psycho or Kimetsu no Yaiba, now that shit is amazing. But seriously, how did this show get famous? Well, it's all thanks to Netflix catching newer weebs to the web that is Nanatsu no Taizai, the show that thinks literal sexual assault is funny, love triangles are sad and appreciated, and dumb characters are law.

And from the shadows emerges a good film that can challenge Kimi no Na wa in the art style, but has a pretty typical story! Give it up for Koe no Katachi!

This story is about a kid that bullies a deaf girl during 6th grade, and it really didn't make a lot of sense to me, you just bullied her because she's just deaf? Sorry bro, that's a stupid move.
Afterwards, the guy was about to go hit the death, a.k.a. suiciding, but for some reason, he just stops, after quitting on his job, selling all his stuff and getting his mom a illion yen. He ... then proceeds to look for the girl he buillied to only find out that she's totally okay. It was actually akward to see them meet up, but not in a bad way! The scene was really uncomfortable for both of them and really, I feel them. Now he has to find his ways to be with her as he becomes more sociable thanks to being around Shoko.

Characters are pretty stable, and I geniuenly hate many of them. It almost feels like some of the voice actors knew the characters they were playing were actual shitlords, so they emphasized on making them as bratty as possible.

Animation was very nice, and the amount of detail was astonishing, I really feel impressed and admire the staff for the film.

HOWEVER, and this is where I just throw shit at the film also BIG SPOILER ALERT UP AND COMING SO IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED THE MOVIE, PLEASE DO IT IS GREAT AND I WOULD HATE RUINING IT FOR YOU. Well, all that said, here goes nothing: I really do not appreciate how they paint deaf people as innocent, never-hurting people. At least, I feel like Shoko was pretty much a princess trapped in a castle, but there's no dragon; she could've saved her butt several times, but the way she behaved was just dumb. Really dissapointed at her attitude. Also, why does she have to be deppresive as well? It feels like the mangaka was thinking on a quick plot twist and he came out with that idea, which is OK, not all people can finish work on the time due, but even though he could've shitted on that, it was really shocking and made me feel paranoic as soon as I saw Shoya saving Shoko but then falling. Since it couldn't have ended better, he survives and apologizes to her. I feel like the end was pretty swell to its intention but lame to it's base.
