Nanatsu no Taizai Movie 1: Tenkuu no Torawarebito

In search of a mystical ingredient known as Sky Fish, Meliodas and Hawk stumble upon a spring that suddenly transports them to the Sky Temple: a breathtaking land above the clouds, inhabited by beings called Celestials. Meliodas, however, looks strikingly similar to a local criminal called Solaad, and is imprisoned and shunned as a result. Meanwhile, the kingdom of the Sky Temple prepares to defend the Great Oshiro's seal—said to harbour a three thousand-year-old evil—from the malevolent Six Knights of Black, a group of demons who seek to destroy the seal. However, the Demon Clan is successfully unleashed and terrorizes the land, prompting the remaining Seven Deadly Sins and the Celestials to fight against their wicked foes.

The battle progresses well, until one of the Six Knights awakens an "Indura of Retribution," an uncontrollable beast from the Demon Realm. With its overwhelming strength and sinister power, the Seven Deadly Sins and Celestial beings must now work together to defeat the creature that threatens their very existence.

Note: I had to watch the movie German-dubbed in the cinema after watching both seasons with German subs, so I wasn't able to fully enjoy the movie because the dub was not really nice in my opinion...

Story (6/10)
The movie looks to have been done so that also watchers who didn't watch the anime could enjoy it, but that makes it quite "flat" story-wise. There is nothing new and special for all who watched the two seasons, and there's no additional thrill or any unforeseeable plot twist. That's understandable but sad.

The story would definitely not fit for an OVA, but this movie has quite many ... lengths. Mostly in the first half, nothing really happens and only the characters and the setting get explained a bit. The second half was nice as soon as the fights started. The storyline is a little bit random, involving "Sky Winged ones" and a demon fight almost not related to the TV series at all.

Also, it's not clear at which point of the anime story the movie is placed. It has to be at least after the middle of season 2 because of the involvement of all sins, but the overall setting was too peaceful to be set somewhen during season 2?

Art (9/10)
The same as in the anime series. Quite many additional landscape shots that were visually stunning but unnecessary storywise, but that's fine for a cinema movie.

Sound (9/10)
Was also the same as in the anime series, I liked it very much. The ending song was also quite good.

Character (6/10)
The characters are the same main characters from the anime. There is no progress in characterization, and just some small explanations of the already known abilities of the Seven Deadly Sins. The only additional thing we get is a small hint at Elizabeth's abilities and strength (which has also somehow been teasered at the end of season 2 already). And a new special move for defeating enemies. That's okay, but nothing more.

Enjoyment (7/10)
The movie was fun, Hawk did very interesting and funny things and the fights were nice, too. Overall, the humor was the best thing of the movie aside from the visuals. The dialogues seemed fine as far as I could tell because of the problems I had with the dubbing. Sadly there was no additional fanservice.

Overall (7/10)
I am not sure why this movie was made. For newbies to Seven Deadly Sins it gives more questions than answers (maybe they want to lure them into watching the rest?), and for all who have seen both seasons there is nothing new. It's fun, and the story was okay, nothing more. I gave the movie a 6,5/10 overall, which is a 7/10 here on MAL. (for better comparison: I gave season 1 a 9,5/10 and season 2 an 8,5/10)

If you like Seven Deadly Sins, you can watch the movie, but it's not really necessary. If you haven't seen the anime series yet, better watch it first.

Mixed Feelings

I just watched this anime on netflix at its release in my country.I enjoyed the last seasons but this is a original story by Nakaba Suzuki but its far away from the original.(By the way sorry for my bad enghlish).

... Story:7

This story is far away from the original and its the same old boring isekai story wich has more seasons.

Art:8

The art is very good no like JoJo but its great and i like the style.

Sound:9

The sound its great becuse i watched it on netflix and with Adeobe Atmos so at this point i dont really have a review.

Character:6

Norrmaly every adventure,magic anmie has a group wich is pracicaly the same as other anime its a normal group in anime from my experience.

Enjoiment:6

Trough all i said in the upper part i think you understand my opinion on this one is a fair decision to say that is a normall story wich i get a normal amount o enjoiment.

Overall:6

At the final i liked the ultimate move but what they said was in enghlish in anime sometimes charecters say ok or something else but they normaly say nanatsu no taizai becuse its in japanese but at the final its the seven deadly sins this dosen't realy matter with my opinion but i whve to say it.My overall opinion is fair from what is said.

I want to start this review off by saying that I love Seven Deadly Sins as a series. This show got me into anime back when it released in 2014. It was a fun show with an overpowered mc that was very easy to enjoy. I was so into the series as a whole that I read the manga because I wanted to see more of my favorite blonde demon and his crew. When I found out they made a movie I was excited to see more of the cast and some new and interesting characters fight it out against a new enemy. What I ... got was a lazy story with boring characters and villains.

IF YOU ARE A FAN OF THE SERIES JUST WATCH THE FIGHTS.

I am writing this review just after watching the show because I was so frustrated with how awful the movie was.

Story: 1

There is hardly any story to talk about. This is basically just a weaker and boring version of the show itself. The villains themselves are forgettable remakes of the 10 commandments. Honestly that's a huge stretch for how pathetic and boring they were. There is very little that actually happens I found every part of the movie that didn't have a sin in it to be completely unwatchable. Everything felt very lazy and gimmicky.

Art: 8

It is your regular Seven Deadly Sins art with slightly heightened quality. It looks good. Fights were dope. Nuff Said.

Sound: 8

The soundtrack makes use of the music from the show with slight alterations. I will always enjoy this music.

Characters: 2

Anyone on the screen that isn't one of the sins is not worth watching. Skip them. Honestly some of the sins felt weak, like their lines were just thrown together to fit them into the movie. They didn't feel at all like their characters in the show. The non-villain characters in the show were so irrelevant that they are not even worth mentioning. The villains were just Walmart brand 10 commandments with no personality. They never posed a threat to even the weakest member of the sins. Their strength came from the writers finding a gimmicky way to keep any of the sins from 1 shotting them while having a causal conversation with each other. The only reason that number is a 2 is because the sins are still in the movie. ignoring all past characters I would give a rating of lower than 1 if I could to the point where i think they should not exist.

Enjoyment: 2

It gets a 2 only because of the pretty fights. I found myself clicking through anything that wasn't a fight because it lacked any importance and had no real weight. It was just bland and boring. Even though many of the fights themselves held no weight, they still look good.

Overall: 2

The great art and music can't save this movie from being a complete waste of time to watch. It felt like a quick way to release more sins content to capitalize on the popularity of the series. As with many shounen movies, there is no point to watching the movie. I'm not sure if it is canon. I hope to god its not canon. The sins are cool but feel lackluster. Meliodas is Meliodas and will always be sick. If you are a fan of the series just look up a $uicideboy$ amv of the fights. I promise that you will enjoy those more than this garbage.

:)

As someone who usually rates pretty high, I can't find much in this show to bring it above a 2.


This is just my opinion. Feel free to give it a shot and formulate your own. If you are looking for more sins in Anime form and aren't worried about anything else, this is your movie. I just needed to keyboard warrior the review page because I can't believe that money was spent animating this.

Thanks for your time!
