Review of The Seven Deadly Sins: Revival of the Commandments

The sequel I desired, but not the sequel I expected it to be. Pretty much the show starts off with a big thump, direct continuation from the first season. As strongly and unexpectable it could be, the rest of the show didn't follow the tempo. At the start we are getting familar with an old-new, even greater threat than before. To be honest I felt like it was the most generic way the show could possibly go and further on I realized I was right. Post-intro part gets only slower and slower while implementing stuff which doesn't feel that important for the main plot. A LOT clichés for fantasy-supernaturalanime world has been used, not many explanations that I wanted and some that looked like a filler... Well I feel like vast part of this season was one big filler.
Getting to the point, I didn't notice much of the story development (possible spoiler here: show ends in like half of what it wanted to tell!), not much of the character development (well, it tries to tell us about one thing, it tells but then it repeats it over and over in next episodes).
As long as the story is not doing its best, it can be still quite enjoyable.

Getting to the art, I don't know if the previous season was similar, but I noticed quite a few scenes here and there that were literally boring which lead my attention to focus on the art and what I noticed was poverty... It's understandable to make some cuts on the less important moments or backgrounds, while focusing on the first plan, but... Literally when making some 'fill in' dialogue, scene is one and long frame, with almost none movement, probably they expected to cover it with some nudity.
I would say that it's fair most of the time with some really awful moments.

I'm not really good with rating sounds, so I'm gonna say that it's avarage with some good tracks and openings.

Character development feels poor, focusing on few and neglecting all the rest, not much to say without a spoilers, but I didn't learn many new things about most of the cast. Good example of decent character introduction, but poor development (that was present all the time) is Escanor - such potential, mysterious and undiscovered character has been revealed with flat backstory, well, atleast his behaviour was interesting, but not much time was invested in that.

Coming to the end, show is fine, enjoyable but it got noticable flaws, that make it taste like an undercooked pork.
