Review of The Seven Deadly Sins: Revival of the Commandments
A IMP Review of: The Seven Deadly Sins: Revival of the Commandments (Dubbed edition) (IMP stands for “In My Prospective”, meaning if someone attempts to correct the way I see the show I have no intention of reading any “corrections”) P.S the names may be misspelled but i did that for comedic effect so ignore it. Let me start off by saying this first and foremost, DEATH IS MEANINGLESS in this season. The first season of this show was charming with a bit of cheesiness but not to much, however this season taught me how i shouldn't give a shit if a character dies because SOMEHOW they canbe brought back, and it wouldn't be a big deal if the first season just revived people over and over but there's a important plot point with Bond and his gal pal which basically became meaningless and in this season the character that contributes to making death meaningless (i'm sorry for spoilers) dies not only once, but twice and STILL ISN'T DEAD! With that said lets begin with...
Story: 3/10. a big reason for this is how death seems to have no meaning in this season but had a big impact in the first season, another reason is how they Commandments escaped in the first place which happens in episode 1 so not really spoilers, People who were dead and we killed off on screen were alive basically just to make sure there were enemies for this season, and lastly the events from the endpoint of the last season were just "all a dream" and for some reason Melodious goes from being adamant about Liz not coming to just plain forgetting about the subject entirely... The facepalming and painstaking shit in the first at least 7 episode was just ridiculous. You have to really stick out the show to find any good parts in it so my rating stands at 3 because it does get a bit better kinda but it gets extremely tropey and and has plot armour shit as well as no idea what a level cap is, unless you mean to say the level cap is Melodious because he's even more bullshit than season one but at least in season one i could expect it.
Characters: The characters are thankfully not terrible in this, even the Dragon sin of overpowered bullshit himself wasn't terrible. However things changed extremely for some characters and others stayed side kicks or got my attention this season. Lets start with whos not right,
Bond: After the half assed (signs of a holy war) thing you'd think bond would be pissed off at Melodious or he'd be more hostile like in Season one but bond becomes extremely passive, unless it has something to do with his loli of course.
Goathar: ... What the fuck happened to this guy? He starts out terrible in this season, fucking with people's memories to the point where we get a cop out amnesia thing happening which puts the group in the line of fire, he constantly fucks shit up throughout the season and the only explanation is a spoiler thing that doesn't really come to mean anything at the end except like one line he says i guess...
Merlin: She goes from being a worthless character who showed up at the last minute to being an important character throughout the story but still being pushed to the sidelines only to be useful again at the end, i can't figure out what the fuck they wanted to do with her honestly LOL? I can only assume she was "to powerful" so they put her to the side until she was needed? Fuck if i know, it just feels like shes being shoehorned in to be more important then she should be, even her power level and interaction with the leader is making her back story seem more important, kinda dumb honestly.
Diana: She didn't exactly change her per say, but she was given a stupid cop out thing and was basically reduced to the "damsel in distress" for the season.
The king of Camelot is reduced to a side character, Guild Thunder and a few other knights are reduced to side characters, Jericho was ok for a bit but ALSO reduced to a side character/damsel in distress, and a few others that could be spoiler potential.
Now onto the good character stuff
The Seventh Sin, Estabone: HOLY SHIT, it only took 2 seasons to get the seventh sin and my god hes is the best part of this godforsaken season. Hes "sort of" stronger then Meliodas, his overall a good character, and he is badass as all hell, what he does is worth watching, he's kinda like thor in a way but honestly fuck thor in comparison.
Melodious: I know i give his overpowered shit crap, but he was a good character throughout the season still and you get to know more about him.
King: I kinda though king was one of the weaker sins unless he was fighting for something he cared about but he's probably the 4 or 5 strongest hitter in the sins and he stays true to his character.
The Princess: She stays true to her character as well and overall i think gets a bit better than expected i guess.
Besides that only a few characters were ok at best i'd say so (mainly because of Estabon) i'll score them 7/10.
Art: It's done by A-1 sauce pictures and was done the same way the last one was basically so what do you expect? It looked good and had some great battle scenes so 7/10.
Sound: Overall the music wasn't terrible or anything but i noticed they used the same tracks a few times in the show so i have to dock point for that, 5/10.
Enjoyment: The beginning was terrible, and the end was kinda dumb, but the middle made be somewhat forget the beginning portion and let me enjoy for a good bit so i'll give a 6/10.
Overall: 4/10, not MALs 4 but my scoring tables 4 you can see on my page AKA bad. (it would have been worse but Estabon saves it a bit) I was hard to sit through a lot of the stupid shoehorned plot but there were times i was entertained so though i might not watch it fully again, i would possibly watch the parts with Eslabon again because they were great.
