Sin: Nanatsu no Taizai

Lucifer, an Archangel and former head of the Seven Heavenly Virtues, is banished from Heaven after revolting against the Lord's will. While plummeting from the skies, she is halted halfway between Heaven and Hell after crashing through the roof of a high school church. Though she is witnessed by Maria Totsuka, a soft-spoken student at the academy, Lucifer swiftly continues her descent into the depths of Hell.

Soon after her arrival, Lucifer is found by aspiring Demon Lord and fangirl Leviathan. The two decide to overthrow the Seven Sins, the authorities of Hell under the leadership of Belial. But with their combined powers, the Seven Sins are able to repel Lucifer and contain her divine powers by placing a Garb of Punishment over her body, transforming Lucifer into a Demon Lord.

Longing for revenge and accompanied by Leviathan, Lucifer makes her way back to Earth, where she forces Maria to become her immortal slave. Together with her new accomplices, Lucifer sets out on a mission to subdue the Seven Sins so she may be free of the curse brought upon by her Garb.

Just had to make a mal review about this. I came for here for an ecchi Yuri, got what I wanted but not only that it surpassed my expectations since it got fully detailed nipples which was great. I saw hot girls doing hot things which tickled my brain a bit. I came for the Yuri fanservice got what I wanted I enjoyed this anime a lot and story was quite decent for ecchi I did like the Dynamics. But overrall it depends on why you watched this anime

for the Yuri fan service=> you will most likely like it
for the plot and writing=> you ... probably won't
overall I liked what I saw I enjoyed the anime it did what it was supposed to and the story wasn't too shabby(for an ecchi ofc))

Mixed Feelings

Creating fiction around religion does not bother me one bit because to me religion is already fictional. This series has a great concept idea for the plot and characters but does not quite deliver it. For example, it's much easier to pull off an ecchi/near hentai story with Lust as the main character than any other.

Animation:
1) the visuals are inconsistent at times
2) the breasts either look weird or ugly and that's weird to me because I consider boobs beautiful
3) sometimes the characters' facial expressions do not match the emotions that they are expressing
4) animation and dialog aren't always synced
5) on ... the 9th episode, there's this bridge/path made of bones. When it breaks, you see the broken bones clearly but in the next sequence, the bones are instead turned into rocks and not only is that inaccurate in terms of Hell's mythology but also makes no sense in terms of continuity


Sound:
1) the soundtrack is poor with the exception of 1 or 2 songs
2) Sakuraba Arisa (Wrath/Satan) can't laugh at all which might be the reason why she doesn't have many roles


Story and characters:
1) I really like some of the ideas that this show presented: creating a story around Lucifer turning against God and becoming the King/Queen of Hell and proving that God is an hypocritical ego-maniac dictator and the rules he made up around the 7 deadly sins make no sense at all. I don't have a problem with the ecchi/near hentai scenes that obviously were the main focus for this anime but taking better advantage of the setting could've improved this show a lot. I also hated how the story is set in the present day.
2) The ending is anti-climatic and SPOILER: Maria's sacrifice felt pointless once she was revived.


For me this anime is a 5/10 mainly due to the waste of an amazing setting and premise.

Yeah so this show wasn't that great but I overall liked it just because I thought the ecchi parts were good.
Ok so for the story part I thought the story was pretty meh idk I feel if anything it was more just basic and mediocre. yeah, nothing really special or great about that part.
The art was anything special either id say that was also just kinda meh. I mean the ecchi parts were good but I don't think that alone makes the art section go to being good.
The sound was whatever it didn't really stand out to me.
The characters were pretty ... bad tbh. I didn't really like any of the main girls, I thought a few of the other demon lords or whatever were interesting but the main cast didn't really interest me too much.
So in terms of overall quality, this id say this show is like a 3 like the story isn't great and the characters all suck like this really is just a pretty pure ecchi anime if you're watching this your probably not watching it because its good you're watching it because it got good "plot".
Anyway, this leads me to my personal liking for this show and id say that it's about a 6. Like yeah, it's mostly because the ecchi stuff is good, but tbh I've seen a ton of other shows that have good ecchi and good well other stuff so 6 is really as far as good ecchi will get with me, well maybe.
