The Seven Deadly Sins - Reviews

Nanatsu no Taizai

Started reading the manga after the first season of the anime was over. At least at the time, I was still curious how everything would develop. Meanwhile, the manga has taught me that curiosity is apparently punished.

The story of Nanatsu no Taizai was built on a solid foundation, also with mediocre world-building and character background. There's nothing wrong with that, I found some backgrounds a bit interesting. Especially from Meliodas, Elizabeth, Estarossa. At least they were interesting, and one of them was even a bit surprising. The backgrounds of the remaining characters were also okay and at least matched their personality and the structure of the character.

The actual main story consisted of the typical "good versus bad" cliché which did not bring any twists about the process and was extremely flat. The only twists had something to do with the characters, their motivations, and backgrounds. In other words, the actual plot is bad. Everything built on the obvious war from start to finish, which ended up being quite disappointing as well.

It doesn't surprise me that the Shounen make these mistakes all the time. But Nanatsu no Taizai is again a nice example of a bad power system. In the final arcs, it was hardly possible to estimate who was stronger because someone was constantly being given a new form of "true" form, had new techniques, or suddenly had power-ups. The final fight against the main antagonist was also extremely sluggish and not worth mentioning. Definitely, the best fight in the manga was the one that turned out to be the worst in the anime, kind of ironic.

The setting and the system of the world, as well as the skills, were also nothing worth mentioning. It wasn't uncreative, but there was a lot more potential available here.

The drawings and representations developed normally from start to finish. The manga was not rich in detail, but you could at least see that he already had most of the scenes in his head.

In the end, Nanatsu no Taizai was just an average manga, although it had potential in terms of characters and story and could have been a much better shounen.
The rumors are circulating that the manga is getting a new sequel. How it will be and whether it will have essential content that can lift the first manga is of course unclear.
