Our Review
The Seven Deadly Sins (2014) is a action and adventure series from TV Tokyo. It has built a run of 96 episodes at roughly 25 minutes each. It premiered on October 5, 2014. Viewers rate it 7.8 out of 10. It is currently ended. It runs 4 seasons.
What The Seven Deadly Sins Is About
The Seven Deadly Sins, a group of evil knights who conspired to overthrow the kingdom of Britannia, were said to have been eradicated by the Holy Knights, although some claim that they still live. Ten years later, the Holy Knights have staged a coup d’état and assassinated the king, becoming the new, tyrannical rulers of the kingdom. Elizabeth, the king’s third daughter, sets out on a journey to find the “Seven Deadly Sins”, and to enlist their help in taking back the kingdom.
What to Expect When You Watch
Episodes run about 25 minutes, which keeps the pace tight, the full run covers 96 episodes, spread across 4 seasons and it leans into its action/adventure roots while leaving room for the quieter character beats.
Performance-wise the series leans on Yûki Kaji, Sora Amamiya and Jun Fukuyama to carry the emotional weight, with the rest of the ensemble filling out the world around them.
Cast and Creative Team
Yûki Kaji, Sora Amamiya, Jun Fukuyama, Aoi Yūki, Misaki Kuno and Tatsuhisa Suzuki lead the cast.
Key roles include Yûki Kaji as Meliodas; Sora Amamiya as Elizabeth Liones; Jun Fukuyama as King; Aoi Yūki as Diane; Misaki Kuno as Hawk.
Why It Stands Out
Fans of action, adventure and anime have a clear reason to give this one a shot. It sits comfortably alongside TV Tokyo’s other originals, a 7.8/10 audience score puts it in steady company and it commits to its premise instead of hedging between tones.
Released in 2014 and carried by TV Tokyo with the series still ended, it lands hardest with action and adventure viewers.
How The Seven Deadly Sins Compares
If The Seven Deadly Sins lands for you, the next stops are Avatar: The Last Airbender, Attack on Titan and Star Trek: The Next Generation, which share its action/adventure lean.
Each of those sits at a different point on the same spectrum, so they make a natural follow-up once you finish the run here.
Where to Stream

On the whole The Seven Deadly Sins is the kind of series that rewards a patient watch, with Yûki Kaji and Sora Amamiya doing the heaviest lifting, a tone that stays true to its action/adventure roots, It has held up since 2014 and so if the premise sounds like your lane, the execution holds up.
The Bottom Line
The Seven Deadly Sins is a safe bet for anyone already inside the action and adventure lane, at 96 episodes it is an easy run to work through, the audience score holds around 7.8/10 and so there is little risk in starting it tonight.
Verdict: 7.8/10. Watch it if you want action/adventure you can settle into.
