I honestly hadn't heard anything about this anime. I saw it as a recommendation to one of my favorite animes and decided to give it a try. I was not disappointed. I really enjoy action/adventure/fantasy/comedy and I think Nanatsu no Taizai did a good job balancing those elements. You won't find anything revolutionary from this anime but it will be a fun ride. Some of the characters are really interesting while others are very stereotypical. I am hoping for a second season.
