The official Twitter for the TV anime adaptation of Nakaba Suzuki's "The Seven Deadly Sin (Nanatsu no Taizai)" manga has revealed on Wednesday, after the final episode airing of the anime's final season, an updated visual to commemorate the completion of the TV anime series after almost 7 years since the first episode of the first season was aired last October 5, 2014.
The first two seasons of the TV anime adaptation titled "The Seven Deadly Sins" and "The Seven Deadly Sins: Revival of The Commandments" were produced by A-1 Pictures, which ran October 2014 to June 2018 with a total of 48 episodes. 3 original video animation (OVA) episodes and 4 special episodes were also released during that time. The third season of the anime under the title "The Seven Deadly Sins: Imperial Wrath of the Gods" was then premiered on October 9, 2019 with 24 episodes animated by Studio Deen in collaboration with Marvy Jack.
Season 3's Studio DEEN and Marvy Jack returned to handle the fourth and final season's animation. The staff of the new season of the series reprised their roles which includes Susumu Nishizawa as the series director, Rintarō Ikeda as the scriptwriter, Hiroyuki Sawano, Kohta Yamamoto, and Takafumi Wada as the music composers, Rie Nishino as the character designer, and Chikako Yokota as the sound director.
An anime film adaptation of the series titled "The Seven Deadly Sins: Cursed by Light" is scheduled to open in Japanese theaters on July 2. The film consists of a whole new story not present in the manga and will decorate the 'finale' of the series.
The first key visual features the characters on the story and reveals the film's premiere date July 2. Studio DEEN is animating the film with Takayuki Hamana serving as the film director. The scripts are written by Rintaro Ikeda.
The series is based on the Japanese fantasy manga series written and illustrated by Nakaba Suzuki. It was serialized in Kodansha's Weekly Shōnen Magazine from October 2012 to March 2020, with the chapters collected into forty-one tankōbon volumes. The manga features a setting similar to the European Middle Ages, with its titular group of knights representing the seven deadly sins.
