REVIEW: Seven Deadly Sins -Signs of Holy War-

These four episodes are clearly set up for a "Season 2" that we're still waiting on.

Everyone's pretty much fine, Gil is a little off but then again post war in the manga he get's kinda fanboyish when Meliodis is around there too.

I like this series for referencing Gowther's manga plot intro as opposed to the alternate one the anime did, and I liked that certain things were first featured in this but made an appearance in the manga, most notable being Vivian's cursed ring from Merlin never being mentioned in the manga but having it used against her in a recent side chapter made by the author while he was off for a few weeks.

My biggest complaint is that I wish there had been more, four episodes is really short and feels tight, especially when it's all just slice of life style things that weren't the major focus of the first 24 episodes. This really makes episode 2 stick out sorely since it doesn't mesh with the other three episodes that much, all it is is a drag out fight with Meliodas and Ban, but the other episodes were all people goofing around and doing everyday tasks, it's just a little off.

Also one thing I really wasn't a fan of was spoiler[ the totally random shots of Escanor in the opening and the final scene, clearly their setting people up to be interested in him but he says nothing and is kinda just tacked on for fanservice. I also wish that these episodes had done something with the Gowther Guila story since the anime ended last season with them as the couple but in these episodes they don't interact at all and their "Relationship" is kinda critical to Gowther's subplot and I wished they had teased some of that.]


Overall I like it, preferred the first 24 episodes and plan to by them when Funi puts them on discs in a few months but I'm more looking forward to the next larger more substantial stuff that they hopefully animate soon.

and that there have me really concerned. now that funi have the license for the whole series, if there is an actual second season, will they do like with black lagoon and hellsing ultimate and have that season being dubbed by the original cast which everyone knows that outsourcing it to bang zoom will cost them a crapload of money, or will they use their own dubbing studio? that there should be the second part of the 64 dollar question. the other part is that will this get an adult swim broadcast? considering that jojo is about to end its run and AS cant depend of DBS all the time , this series would pretty much do well on AS since its a shonen type series through and through.

Meanwhile we are waiting for Cyborg 009 Call of Justice. Seriously, it was released the past week

It was OK series, but I really would prefer a full cour of Arslan instead.

Yeah I am still salty as all hell that this caused Arslan Season 2 to be cut short. They could have fit another volume of the novels into the four episodes they lost to this.

It is in the works. Should be up by sometime next week. Same with the Gantz CG movie.
