The Seven Deadly Sins, along with Elizabeth Liones and Hawk, have won the Kingdom of Leones back from the Holy Knights. At long last, it's their time to indulge in the peaceful lives they fought for.

I don't think anybody really considers this a proper second season, these can be considered more like season 1 OVAs or specials. They certainly weren't marketed or released as such which made a lot of people salty, but that's something that became somewhat of a general trend for this series as time wore on so looking back it isn't all that surprising. There isn't a whole lot story-wise. For the most part these seem more like little slice of life adventures in the world of Nanatsu no Taizai than anything. We get some lame stuff at the pub, blue balled Ban vs Meliodas fight, boring relationshipdrama. Just not a whole lot to even comment on. It does serve a purpose in bridging the gap between seasons but honestly you could probably skip over it and you wouldn't be missing out on much. 7/10

Hawk is a nice guy-Gilthunder First of all,the title "Seisen no Shirushi" or "Sign of Holy War" is pretty misleading,there's whatsoever not enough content that does justice to the hype the title created,unless we pay attention to extra couple of minutes here and there,secondly it would be wrong to call it a sequel,more of a mini-series or 4 part OVAs. EPISODE 1- Our evergreen Hawk wants to have fun,ok. EPISODE 2- Finally the most awaited fight BAN vs MELOIDAS,wait it was just a prank. EPISODE 3- Romantic development between Titan Diane and king which the least people care about. EPISODE 4- Another 20 minutes of misery just to see Vivian'sfutile try in conquering Gilthunder's heart. Tbh,pretty much everything is irrelevant for the progress of the plot. It's like half of the characters have gone through some personality changes,especially Gilthunder,Jericho although Elizabeth is still useless as always. The art is quite mediocre from the beginning,so nothing to complain about. Overall,The series is a big letdown,expected way more than this.

Just 4 episodes of a pleasant midway between the first and upcoming second season, Signs of Holy War offers the same endearing quality that the first season did -- bright, cheerful characters who are insanely powerful and are facing quite the deadly opponents, which are right now in the shadows. Hence "Signs of Holy War." One might think that these 4 episodes are unnecessary, but as I've said in another review, narratives don't always have to follow a completely plot-dependent structure. As the Deadly Sins just won, what else would they be doing but taking a light breather? Chilling around the bar, drinking and makingmerry, pursuing love... It's like a casual look into their life outside of fighting against an antagonist. But these 4 episodes also show some insight into the relationships among and between the Deadly Sins. King's love for Diane, Ban's desire to be with Elaine clashing with his loyalty to Meliodas, and so on. You see them more as people. More character development/filling out. So if you've seen the first season, go ahead and breeze through Signs of Holy War. RATINGS Enjoyment -- 8.2 Resonance -- 6.4 Overall Quality -- 7.5

Seven deadly sins continues its excellence from the first season! When considering the little amount of episodes,I usually don't have high expectations on this.But when considering the plot,it seems like seven deadly sins has lots of things to offer in this new series. The story continues the story left off in the first season and all the mysteries and actions are back.In the first episode of this new series,the story revolves around the most classic comedy character Hawk,who runs away from the restaurant. Don't think it's a stupid idea for such comedy beginning story in a popular title because all the characters personalities are back from the originaland I saw the characters are all describled well in different events and you definitely don't want to miss it. In the later episodes,They also manage to put some new storyline as well,while trying to stay closed to continue the story left off in the beginning.Character relationships are becoming closer and closer,while the invasion of evil forces are becoming larger and larger.From all these evidence,I believe something extreme will happen among the conflicts between the evil forces and deeper relationship. Nevertheless,I think the side stories doesn't really fit this series.Considering the short period of episodes,I think that they should introduce more about the upcoming threat rather than focusing on side stories.As always,main plot should be the main focus. On the animation and sound aspects,the visual,sound effects and the music are as perfect as the original.For those who are impressed by the seven deadly sins visuals and sounds,you definitely can't miss this series.It also includes both refreshing and cool op and ed,which must attract most of us! In general,I think it's still a decent series,since I really enjoyed the enhanced character description.The series focus a lot on developing deeper and closer relationship among all the characters.Though I think the layout of the plot in this series could be improved,It seems promising enough for our long-awaited fans. Story:7/10(35%) Art:8/10(10%) Sound:9/10(10%) Characters:10/10(25%) Enjoyment:8/10(20%) Overall:8.25/10(A)<Outstanding>

Oh my god. is that what i have been expecting since the beginning of 2016? The main anime was masterpiece but this one is just rushed anime compared to it. Let's Begin with the story. i don't see a story , i could link these episodes with the past OVA. The fights offended the sins with the lack of creativity and dullness. but i think the point of this series was peaceful days after the war. Art: The art is beautiful , colorful and pleasing to see.But the animation is poor, i think one episode of the original series had more budget than this whole thing. Characters: They changed so much , Gilthunder who was a badass is now a silly crying-baby , Also jericho became 10x more tsundere but i won't complain anymore here Sounds: A Bunch of good Voice Actors/Actresses. Neat OP & ED. Totally can't complain. Enjoyment: As a big fan of nanatsu no taizai , Of course i enjoyed seeing the series back with more adventure , comedy and lewdness. Overall: i'd say it is fine , but it wasn't as good as i expected.
