The story is about the journey of a Princess of a country to look for the missing seven holy knights who were protected the country before. But these seven knights already been missing for 10 years, and she has to look for them by herself. She then found the leader of the knights but he was only a boy with a talking pig who was running for an inn business who named Meliodas. Anyway, the story then started from here. This is an anime series with fantasy, adventure and action.

Story        :
The Seven Deadly Sins were once an active group of knights in the region of Britannia, who disbanded after they supposedly plotted to overthrow the Liones Kingdom. Their supposed defeat came at the hands of the Holy Knights, but rumors continued to persist that they were still alive. Ten years later, the Holy Knights staged a coup d'état and captured the king, becoming the new, tyrannical rulers of the kingdom. The third princess, Elizabeth, then starts out on a journey to find the Seven Deadly Sins and enlist their help in taking back the kingdom.
 
Characters :
 
Meliodas

The leader of the Seven Deadly Sins and the Sin of Wrath with the symbol of the Dragon. He is the main protagonist and owner of the Boar Hat (豚の帽子亭) bar. Despite having the appearance of a child, Meliodas is actually a lot older and very powerful. His most distinctive trait is his Dragon symbol carved at the top of his arm, just below his shoulders. He has demon blood flowing in his veins. He is very perverted when it comes to Elizabeth.
 
Elizabeth Liones
The Third Princess of the Kingdom of Lyonesse who, along with Meliodas, is searching for the Seven Deadly Sins in order to fight against the Holy Knights. She is a main protagonist and becomes a waitress at the Boar Hat bar when she begins traveling with Meliodas. During her adventures with the Seven Deadly Sin captain, she starts to develop feelings for Meliodas and pointed out by Gowther, is in love with Meliodas, much to her embarrassment.
 
 
Hawk
A talking pig and Meliodas's companion. He is introduced as the cleaner of the Boar Hat bar who helps clean the disgusting food scraps. He often scolds Meliodas for his perverted ways.
 
Ban
As the only survivor of the Fairy King's Forest, he took the blame of, and was convicted for, destroying the forest, and killing its guardian saint, Elaine. As a result, he was sentenced to death, and became known as the Sin of Greed due to his apparent greed for immortality.
 
 
King
After supposedly ending Helbram's life, King took on the sentence for ignoring Helbram's mass murdering of humans continuously over the a period of five hundred years which is close to sparking a war between humans and fairies. He was consequently sentenced to an imprisonment for a thousand years, and was recognized as the Sin of Sloth as he ignored the atrocities committed and turned a blind eye.
 
 
The characters above are just some of the main ones, there are more characters are in the anime series. You may watch them in the anime series. OK, let us take a sneak peek of "The Deadly Seven Sins"as below :-








 



 









 
 
Personally, I like this anime series as it is funny sometimes and the talking pig, Hawk is very cute. The Princess Elizabeth is lovely. Another, the giant girl, Diane, she is a girl who likes Meliodas very much. Overall she is a lively girl.
 
Well, the fighting scenes in the anime series are good too. I think it is amazing of the art works. Thus, I think the ladies would not mind to watch such anime series. FYI, The show's first opening theme song is "Netsujō no Spectrum" performed by Ikimono-gakari and the second opening theme is "Seven Deadly Sins" which is performed by Man with a Mission, while the first ending theme is titled "7-Seven" which is a collaboration between Flow and Granrodeo and the second ending theme is "Season" which is a major label debut of Alisa Takigawa.
