SEVEN MORTAL SINS ANIME REVIEW
(The views and opinions are based on anime-only nerd and from binge watching the series in one go.)

“If God will destroy the Earth and create a new in the appointed time, then why did he create his precious beings in the first place? I’m only protecting what he will destroy.”
- Lucifer, the Demon Lord of Pride

Sin: Nanatsu No Taizai or Seven Mortal Sins follows the story of Lucifer, the proud fallen angel from Heaven, on her mission of becoming the Leader of the Seven Mortal Sins of Hell.

There a few types of anime fans that have seen this; the one ... who watched it and hated it, the one who have mistaken this from the Nanatsu No Taizai/Seven Deadly Sins anime, the one who finished it because of the ecchi genre and the one who finished it because of the plot. And I belong to the latter.

The story itself was good because we’re talking about the Seven Deadly Sins, considering there was a lot of fan service given. Many would say, “This should have been made a hentai.” Yes, maybe, but if you are an anime-nerd like me loves binge watching a lot of anime; then you can give this a shot. But beware of the ecchiness right from the beginning. Though there was less of the fan service in the later end of the series. If you loved the story and logic of the Deadly Sins of humans, then I recommend you give this a shot.

The animation was good enough to satisfy the fan service shown to us.

The opening and ending theme suited well the ecchi genre of the anime. And the soundtrack was lit. It suited well the action scenes of the anime. Considering the fan service, the soundtrack gave light in the story and fight scenes in the anime.

The characters are simply lovable. Fan service aside, each mortal sin and their side stories are simply relatable. Well maybe because we are all sinners which why we can relate to the characters.

Overall, the enjoyment of this anime would be what type of anime fan are you? Are you the one who watches because of the genres? Or are you the one who finishes because of the plot? Everyone has their own tastes in watching an anime. And I’m one of those who liked this because of its plot. And I also hope there would be a season 2 because the plot really picked up the story in the last episode. It’s not that good but is enough to satisfy your anime cravings.

[UPDATED]
CHAIN CHRONICLE ANIME REVIEW

I'm writing this after marathoning the series in one go. As well as without the knowledge of the Movie adaptations nor playing the game of Chain Chronicle.

Chain Chronicle: Light of Haecceitas revolves around Yuri, Aram, Phoena and the Black King Suppression Army in dealing and fighting against the Black King and his Army.

In the first episode, we saw a glimpse of Yuri and the others losing to the Black King. So basically, the whole plot of the series is gathering back again the others in order to try to defeat again the Black King. Did it went smoothly the second time around? ... Find out for yourself.

Like I said before, since it was based on a game don't expect much of a storyline. Though the story ins't that great and kinda feels pathetic, the animations and fight scenes was damn great. It overhauls for its poor storyline. It kinda feels like I'm playing a video game. The soundtrack is good as well. Especially the opening and ending themes.

Another thing about this anime is that we've been introduced to too many extra characters that doesn't blend well to the story. Especially in the latter part of the anime.

Overall, it was a decent anime to me. It is not highly recommended but it can at least be on your watch list for its superb animation and soundtrack as well as a decent amount of enjoyment.

ONIHEI ANIME REVIEW

Onihei tells the story of Arson Theft Control's chief, Heizo "The Oni" Hasegawa on how he captures and deals with the thieves.

I'm declaring that this anime is the best hidden gem of Winter 2017.

Everything about this anime is enjoyable to watch. The story's great because you learn the underlying reasons and secrets of every thief. Every episode you will learn a new thing.

The art's good as well. It was set on traditional Japan so every bit was great especially the soundtracks. It's like I've been to Japan after listening to that opening song. It was damn great.

The character development in each episode ... was also outstanding. You can view yourselves in their shoes after you finish an episode. You will feel their story. Just the narration in each episode was damn excellent.

Overall, it was great anime to me though I really wanted more than 13 episodes. It is highly recommended to those who don't have an anime to watch yet.

elDLIVE ANIME REVIEW

elDLIVE revolves around Chuta Kokonose, our main protagonist, on his adventures of being an elDLIVE Space Patrol.

Honestly, I am saddened of its rating here in MAL. I am huge fan of Akira Amano since I finished watching/reading the Katekyo Hitman Reborn. And I was very hyped when this came out last January.

Like Katekyo Hitman Reborn, this series started very slow. I think this whole first season is all about character development, since it's only a 12-episode anime. I honestly want more seasons though that may be unlikely since only a few appreciated the anime.

The story started slow in the first few episodes but ... it delivered in the latter part.

The art is mediocre and it's unusual to see that type of animation. Though the soundtrack is very good especially that ending theme.

The characters look similar to Katekyo Hitman Reborn though some of the characters are aliens since it's an anime about space protection.

Overall, it's a fair anime to me. If you've endured the first 15-20 episodes of Katekyo Hitman Reborn, then you might as well give this a try. It's a slow starter but it will give you something to look forward for until the very end. And hoping for more seasons to make Chuta Kokonose more like Tsunayoshi Sawada.
