The Seven Deadly Sins: Grudge of Edinburgh Part 1

It hurts the eyes.

Stick with producing the way the original series is was made without CGI.

This was a really hard watch after such amazing previous shows and even movies.

Netflix needs to return to the natural feel and emotion of the hand drawn feel of the manga or it will lose audiences who are loyal to the series and franchise.

The story is good and I feel if it was done without CGI it would have been more enjoyable and lead into the new series with more fanfare and enthusiasm.

This is one of the better manga/anime series and has a very strong loyal fanbase though it hasn't got the young Pokemon audience.

I started the series last week and binge watched it all, including the movies. Whoever decided to change the animation style for Grudge of Eidenburgh should be keel hauled and gang beaten with a sock soap. It's TERRIBLE. It's so bad that it's hard to watch. I don't know if this style is cheaper then the old style but they need to banish this animation style and leave it locked away.

Besides that, I am pleased that they are continuing the story with the 7 deadly children. I am looking forward to seeing more in the future as lomgmas they discontinue this awful animation. I am still currently watching it though. I just felt so strongly about the animation change that I had to get on here.

The animation, although wonderfully done, was a horribly bad choice for this series. This type of animation is more appealing towards a younger, kid oriented audience. TSDS was created for an older, more mature audience- specifically one's who were already in love with the original animation style. This was a very poor choice when the series, itself, was already popular enough to begin with- no need to "fix" what wasn't broken.

Story wise, I enjoyed it - especially seeing most of the original characters again. The story was engaging and kept me fairly interested. I feel I would have been more invested had I been able to get past the cringy animation.

It's good and I'm excited for the continuation of the series and can't wait to get into the plot. But a huge downside is the animation. The graphics are waayyy off of the original art style and it's too 3D. And as much as it doesn't seem like lazy work, the quality of the art isn't the best compared to how it was in the earlier series. Just in general the animation is too 3D and off brand of the original. And the animation reminds me of video games. It just isn't the best animation I'd say.

However, the plot will be amazing and I'm excited to watch the new generation, the children of our favorite sins, in this with the chaos to come. And I really hope we see Arthur.

It's been discussed how changing animation style can sometimes backfire - a classic example being the remake of 1997 Berserk. Moving on from that...

The change in animation style wasn't really noticeable after 5 minutes. The best seasons of Seven Deadly Sins are the first 2 and there is no follow-up movie which is as enjoyable as the first 2 seasons. That said, this movie was rather average, I'm glad I watched it but it's not high on "re-watch value". There's a nice mix of familiar and new characters and a I'm curious to see how the show continues. I'll definitely be watching the next instalment.
