(The) Seven Deadly Sins (TV).

Any reason to why it's not reviewed on here ? Just curious.

I don't doubt it will get a second season (much to my dismay) but it'll likely take the Magi route and wait about a year before continuing again so they have more source material to work with.

I already knew what the Captains plan was before they explained it in the anime. It was so incredibly obvious that I think I lost respect for big bad's intelligence.

But what gets me the most is why on God’s green earth wasn’t the captain using his full counter BEFORE that final tactic? I mean it just makes no [expletive] sense. He had plenty of instances in which he could of done it. But he didn’t because……………I don’t even want to know anymore man. This anime is so forgetful of it’s established rules freaking Patrick Star would be impressed.

So if Hawk is alive but mini now does that mean all the other people who died are the same way too? Or does no one care? I’m betting on the latter . Don’t me wrong I’m glad Hawk is alive but there better a better explanation than “duh…….shit happens right?”. I’d like it better if they at least acknowledged why this happened by indicating Elizebeth’s strong feelings to bring Hawk back were stronger than they were for everyone else that way it sets up another strong emotional moment due to the nature of Elizebeth’s sympathy.

Probably the best thing about this episode was Gilthunder actually acknowledging that the suffering he caused people in the end cannot be easily forgiven. I'd like to see them handle this development similar to how Avatar did it. But from the ending it doesn't even look like he'll have time to think about what he's done since the plot happened before he could. Don't you dare ruin one of the only moments I've liked so far show!

This is a series that runs on shock factor not coherent linear progression. Instead of giving us characters we can feel sorry for we are giving douchebags who when it’s most convenient make a sudden leap towards redemption when it’s rather unearned. Instead of making them sympathetic we have to see them only as jerks so we can be fooled by their 180 heel turn later. It’s that kind of manipulative writing that will NEVER sit well with me. I’ve seen that shit so many times in shounen it’s not even funny.

you're going to be stupid and watch another season of a show you don't like, aren't ya?

Because people cannot enjoy a fun show that likes to make action go over the top, you have to feel dismay over it. Fine I was not going to go through your post apart but here we go.

That is because you are familiar with the genre, not because it is obvious in universe, after all it was a secret technique.

Well it was not even just a full counter that is what he needed to use to do much damage, he had to build up damage to unleash a full counter at high power. We can see that the mention of taking damage more at that point that he had largely already used full counter as a way to deflect damage during the fight.

Or you know, the damn talking pig is not normal. We have no idea what Hawk's origins are, but he seems to have a giant pig, which is apparently his mother, and carries a building. What was on Hawk's ear, something about star pig? The secret behind what the deal is with Hawk seems to be something to be revealed later in a series, kind of like what the deal with Happy is in Fairy Tail as a cat.

We know that he was being forced to act a certain way, and which was to act like the overzealous Knights he was a part of. And even if it was done to protect someone close to him, he did feel guilty and started to try and set things straight as soon as he was able, and planned to do more. Was that enough or do you actually want to see him suffer more.

The show really did throw the shock thing up to 11, and in my opinion is done in knowledge of how things are done in shounen. You were not meant to watch it expecting a normal story, you were meant to follow what crazy things can happen in this world of shounen fighting. What events could push the characters to push their strength, and where their limits were. There is saying what you did not like, and then there is mistaking the core theme of a series as bad writing.
