The Seven Deadly Sins: Grudge of Edinburgh Part 1

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.

The story line of the over all series is amazing but for me the animation was off did not give me the same feeling as when I watched 7 deadly sins the OG as the animation look like I was made for vedio game and not a TV series I gave off a lip reading Vib as you can see that when they talk the words don't match the lips as as of the characters was made out of plastic or clay actually a big let down and for that reason I think I would not continue to watch it going forward as the original animation was for me much beter and gave of an anime Vib and not a vedio game Vib just my opinion anime shows should always have the original animation feel not the cartoon 2 year old show feel with there animations for education.

I was originally a huge fan of the series, but the animation on this is just too painful. I thought the last season or two of the original show was a drop off... but this, this is just to much. I lasted a whole 5 minutes before turning it off. Seems more like the opening scene to a low budget game then the animation of anime. Seriously disappointed as when they first announced this I was very excited.

I really hope that Netflix actually listen and start going back to the original style because words cannot explain how poor this is. They have the potential to make a great series here but as per usual they have fumbled the bag. Who ever OKed this needs sacking.

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.

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.
