The Worst Anime You Can't Stop Watching 

Thanks so much to all the folks who've come back to watch this again after the takedown! please be aware that just clicking and watching a few seconds can be detrimental, so if you can, leave it on in the background to ensure the algorithm does not hate me.

To be fair using your opponent's blood as lipstick is pretty metal as fuck.

"Stop adding numerical power levels to anime. You're not making math better; You're making anime worse." - Hank Hill, probably.

Meliodas holding a baby saying “keep your hands off my woman” BROKE ME lmaoooooo

"Imagine if Mineta was the protagonist of My Hero Academia." How dare you even joke about that.

Meliodas’ perversion at least refutes the idea that we only hate Mineta because he is ugly

I'd make a joke about it still being a better love story than Twilight but I'm _pretty sure_ that falling in love with someone, chasing after them even though they're clearly in love with somebody else, finally giving up when they get together with that person and deciding to just bang their kid is exactly a love story from Twilight.

Schrödingers pedophile is now one of my favorite phrases

Escanor carried the anime. If it wasn't for him nobody would talk about it.

It's telling that 75% of this roast is just literally recapping the story and letting that roast itself. Which sounds like I'm saying Geoff didn't have to do much work for this episode, but that's not true, since he actually had to watch this entire show to do that and I know from personal experience that getting therapy after a deeply traumatic event is a lot of work.

"I swear officer, she consented in her past life." made me spit out my coffee 😂😂

The fact they did EVERY anime troupe awfully and I still watched it is impressive

My favorite part of the show is when the demons can push any persons soul out of their body so they can eat it and then they continue to not use that power at any point ever to win a fight, nor does meliodas use it ever despite being a demon.

“if you thought THAT was the end, SURPRISE MOTHERFUCKER! Because we’ve gotta fight a final boss monster who popped out of nowhere and has nothing to do with anything!” man, if Kishimoto didn’t actually send that cease and desist bc of the shadow clones he should have DEFINITELY sent one for that.

Respect to Escanor for being the only consistently cool character throughout the show. As deserved.

I was recently in the hospital and the man next to me was watching it on full volume FOR 7 HOURS STRAIGHT. Made the whole hospital experience significantly worse.

"There's a time and place for fanservice, and Seven Deadly Sins seems to think it's when people are f***ing dying." Let's be honest - Seven Deadly Sins think it's "all the time, everywhere."

Man, the way you describe how Gowther uses brainwashing to get himself a girlfriend, and mindfucks his allies for shits and giggles, it's like someone misplaced a memo that he's supposed to be a villain.

Every relationship is “I met my wife when she was 2, just so happens I was 150”

The sequence at 44:50 is absolutely hysterical to me for some reason and I cannot stop replaying it. Everything about it just has me in stitches, gray-haired guy punching at nothing, blonde guy flailing his weird shadow arms at nothing, the giant girl kneeling over looking like she's having an existential crisis, and everybody else is just vibing. Truly one of the anime of all time.

The moment when Dreyfus comes back and it's revealed that "OOOOH look he was the TRUE mastermind all along!!" was about when I realized how much of an ass pull every single plot turn in this show was.

Shoutout to the Escanor for being the only normal person in the group. He almost had a normal, good, and healthy relationship, he wasn't a pedo, rapist, or a victim.

Jericho got done so dirty with how she essentially goes after the son after being rejected by the father lmao The big Age gap relationships just keep getting worse….

The sexual assault in the first episode already gave me enough reason to dip and never look back. Glad to see my choice was correct

The portrayal of women instantly shut me off. I just thought it was so stereotypical and garbage, so much potential down the drain. And the comparison to Mineta is spot on, how can we be expected to root for a literal predator???

When Elaine got her wings for the first time, I was kinda hoping she would gain an adult form, you know like King did a season later. Author had an out but decided not to take it.

The concept of amnesia has been a disaster for every culture’s literary canon

Seven deadly sins is about pedophilia... The main characters whole thing is that he keeps running into his lover when she's a child, sticking with her until he takes her as a lover, and then eventually she gets her memory back and dies. Also, when she gets to adult hood, the script flips, because he chooses to look 12-14 consistently. His besty is sleeping with someone in the body of a child, and its brushed off as being okay because they are both immortal. Imma stop repeating that point now, as it the blanket excuse for everyone. Merlin reveals that her body is an illusion, and she is actually forever stuck in the body of a 6 year old. When her love interest learns of this, he implies that it's hot, and asks to hear about the baby talk she used to use with her "big sister". The Fairy king meets the giant when she is a little girl. At the time, he looks like a man in his late 40's, and falls in love/lust. Later on when she grows up, he takes the form of a child, and continues his pursuit of her. The protag's brother looks like a tween who falls in love with a busty vampire milf that uses Mommy talk on him. And that is legitimately not even all of the examples. Every relationship in SDS is either literally, or at the very least, visually, between a young child and an older adult. With, "no its okay because they are a vampire/fairy/demon/angel/immortal/curse victim" etc... popped in to justify it.

Trust me, reading the manga as that last arc of fuckery going on was far more painful than the anime. At least with the anime you could binge it all in a day or two. We waited weeks while the demon king kept getting resurrected and characters kept turning evil for no reason other than the editors wanted to wring this series for all the blood it could. This series is a prime example of why you shouldn't create a story based on one good idea.

Kind of funny that Escanor, who is the most relatable and least disturbed character in the story, got yeeted out of the story in the most badass way so he wont witness the shit show that happens in the end

"There are still 16 episodes left." You know things are going badly when the audience looks up how many episodes they have left.

I actually think there's potentially interesting storytelling to be found in the whole 3000 year old Loli thing, if someone besides Interview With a Vampire, would explore the frustration and problems that come with being trapped in a child's body. If the fairies weren't able to alter their age at will, but just stopped aging at that point, there is a lot you can do with that idea to make it something truly great. Claudia from Interview With a Vampire is probably my favorite part of that movie, because the situation she finds herself in would become a nightmare after your mind has matured well past your static body. Her rage over being stuck as a child, while yearning for someone that refuses to acknowledge her as an adult was a genuinely fascinating take on the "immortal" character that doesn't get explored nearly enough.

Wait... Jericho goes for Ban's kid? WTF?

The rock falling out of nowhere to smash Elizabeth had me rolling.

"Her true form is that of yet another 3000 year old loli". As someone who thought Merlin's adult form was sexy as hell, that is just heartbreaking and cruel. WHY make her a loli?!

I think the absolute worst thing about this show is the fact that the fan base absolutely refuses to accept the reality that Meliodas may be one of the creepiest characters in anime history and they are willing to die on that hill.

As someone who was in process of watching this I commend you sir. My brain broke down at the Loli girl moment and I stopped watching it. I was already annoyed by Meliodis constantly harassing Miss Mary Sue with no response from her. So hats off to you because even listening to it I got lost. The only loss I gained was knowing Escanore dies, he was the only one I genuinely enjoyed.

What surprised me is that every single character have sad backstory. LITERALLY EVERYONE. And a lot of them HAVE THE SAME SAD BACKSTORY.

I'm exhausted just hearing the recap of the series, I can't imagine how the people who watched the whole thing must have felt X3

If it turned out the Author got caught with a bunch of CP on his computer, I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest.

The demon king telling the brothers their girlfriends are dead and you reusing the same script for both had me cracking up.... Edit: until you explained it.

This show really is the embodiment of "that was a good idea, so let's do it poorly" Best example is the chaos final fight. The idea of meliotis being stuck in an illusion where he thinks he has to fight chaos alone because everyone else grew old and died is super cool, but it is so poorly written and so awfully resolved that it hurts by how much of a waste of potential it is

I read the Manga as it was released and describing it as a slippery slope of falling down an escalator for 24 hours is much more accurate than I'd like to admit.

I cannot believe I thought this anime was good dear lord I must’ve been really young. Fucked up ships involving sexual assault through reincarnations and memory wipes, showing fan service when people are literally dying, introduces interesting powers or characters for a few moments only for us to never see them again, and so much more. You made me laugh out loud many times with the many messed up things you pointed out that just completely went over my head. Thank you so much for telling us the countless flaws this anime has it was very fun.

Meliodis saying hands off my woman while holding baby Elizabeth was so funny 😭

You know, I criticize Netflix a lot for how they've handled their anime licenses, including when they originally held this show back for months on end before unceremoniously dropping it onto their servers. But then, them doing that means I never remembered to watch past season 1, so really they saved me on that one.

I was once forced to watch an episode of this show without context. When i tried to excuse myself and leave the guy showing it to me put his hand on my shoulder and pushed me back down into the chair. I should add he was forcing me to watch it without sound, on his phone, in a cafeteria.

The shows romance story is essentially a woman gets raped again and again by a terrible protagonist then gets Stockholm syndrome and fall in love with him and has a child.

21:57 "And Jericho finally gives up on him and settles on trying to fuck their son." Sounds like a Twilight plot copy pasta if I've ever seen one.

One thing that you didn't mention is the armor of the background character holy knights. In the early seasons, only the big bad special holy knights had funky armor with weird colors and abilities and shit. The background knights had regular, semirealistic metallic armor. But in later seasons, everyone just has whacky, colorful armor like medieval power rangers. Always bugged me.

I remember really appreciating how Diane and Elizabeth interacted, even though they initially had the same love interest, they didn't constantly fight each other about it, and instead were just very supportive friends to one another. You don't always get that in shonen.

Yeah, I tapped out after two episodes because Meliodas' leechery was just too gross. There's fanservice and then there's whatever the hell this was.

"The Worst Anime You Can't Stop Watching" Wait, this ain't Sword Art Online

Power levels were the worst things to be introduced to this series

I can't believe what they did to Merlin in the end. The complete destruction and decimation of her character at the end was so sudden and so completely out of nowhere, I actually find myself impressed at how bad that was

"That's right, her name is Ass!" I don't know why but this killed me. At least this anime makes sure we know what really matters about this character.

I stopped watching it after the season with the tournament arc done bad, but I can't believe Arthur's little floating plushy cat ended up being the final final final boss lmao, that's such a hilarious ass pull.

*Common story-telling wisdom:* What makes a cliché a cliché is the fact that the audience considers them overused and predictable, but the audience also tend to forget that they are overused exactly because they _work._ The trick is often simply to give some sort of a new spin on them, so they seem fresh. *Seven Deadly Sins:* So, what you're saying is that we should do them at least twice as much?

Merlin accidentally leaving the door to hell open acually sounds like the premise of a great show...

istg bro why did they make elane look like a child? Its disgusting i get that shes a fairy and fairies are small and all but jesus christ this is bullshit.

My mom loves anime. She watches Baki and Bungou stray dogs and her favorite is mob psycho. She tried to watch this one and emailed netflix it was THAT bad. Watching this now to find out what its about and ohhhhhh my god

The fact that they could have made Elaine older and have more adult body would probably somehow save her.

seeing elane who looks like a child pregnant was deeply upsetting. just,,,,, why. why? why does she have to look like she’s 10? why did god permit this to be made? why didn’t he step in and stop this? i think i need to lie down

There was a lot I liked about Seven Deadly Sins, but there was even more that I hated. I was done with the series when Bon's wildly inappropriate and sketchy romance with Elaine came to light 🤮 I know technically she was thousands of yrs old, but c'mon, we all know what it looked like, and when Bon made a point to mention how much he liked her underdeveloped body, that's when I was done.

The f*ing adoptive fox dad sent me flying 😂 It is impressive someone can come up with such convoluted crazyness

I lost it when the Demon King plot started repeating itself. I was listening while jogging and I had to stop because I started laughing so hard.

I actually liked the idea that Meliodas was a demon at first. I thought it was interesting for the main character to be a surviving member of a race sealed away 3000 years ago, especially when the broken sword handle he carries around is revealed to be the key to that seal. The happy go lucky MC knowingly preventing the return of his people and family in order to avoid a world destroying holy war seemed pretty cool for a character representing the sin of wrath. But then he's actually the demon prince and gets a depressingly badly animated magic set of clothes to show his edgy dark side. They really soured the rest of small things I liked about the series.

Remember when this anime was about fighting corrupt knights? It should have been that simple.

The best bit of the story in the video is the dead look in your eyes as you state there are still 16 episodes to go. Also... thank you for doing this and helping me avoid this series after episode 5 or so.

I started this show solely for Ban, but between Elizabeth's whiny voice, the constant sexual harassment by Meliodas, how ludicrously fast-paced everything is and the derpy artstyle, I just could not.

25:12 don't forget, he killed her dad too. Gowther is probably the only character that deserves to be called an anti-hero. Actually, he's just a terrible person.

I now realized that I rationalized the thing with Ban and Elaine by focusing on the fact that she was a fairy, who was supposed to look petite and young and all... But then I realized that no amount of narrative context could ever be enough to avoid the simple question: "Why? *Why* did she have to look like a pre-teen?!" Don't get me wrong, the idea of the thief falling in love with the queen of fairies and then her sacrificing herself by imbibing him with the fountain of youth's power during a demonic incursion is unironically a great setup for a character like Ban. And yet, that one question still stands, GODDAMIT! I feel like an idiot!😢

The animes name should be 7 deadly predators

So sad you didnt mention the whole dramatic part of that damn pig being burned to death only to resurrect as a tiny pig later the same episode. Instantly pissed me off

After ages of dealing with a guy that liked this series too much, this was basically a therapy session for me. Thanks for the mental release man.

This video has been like… I don’t even know how to describe but I laughed a lot. How did the writers think any of this was a good idea? Salute to you Jeff for putting yourself through this pain for us.

Just listening to the plot synopsis I felt an immediate sense of fatigue for this show without having seen it.

I escaped this travesty when my parents walked into the room while I was watching and I immediately felt ashamed of myself, especially since it was in the middle of one of “those” scenes…

I genuinely thought I was going insane watching this show and slowly realizing that each new relationship they revealed was yet another kind of creepy pedophilia lmao. I think anyone who watches anime has built up a decent tolerance for at least some creepy trope nonsense, but this was seriously on another level and I'm so glad I dragged myself out of it before it got somehow worse. I kept telling myself the fights were worth it, then kept telling myself Escanor was worth it, but nothing was worth it. It was Just Terrible.

i cant believe "shrodingers pedophile" fits so well for the king & diane vs ban & elaine dynamic so well

I like the concept of Ban's steal ability overtime as his character develops, developing/evolving into an ability that can transfer/pass on attributes to others. Would be a good case/example of a characters power increasing/maturing as they do/their character develops. It would have been thematically satisfying, if the rest of this shit show wasnt such a horrible/heinous dumpster fire.

For me, Escanor was the best reason to watch. the man defeated two villains without leaving where he stood, and was immune to most disability spells. such as the spell that stole all your stamina and rendered you too weak to stand up. this spell was activated if you showed any hatred for your enemy. but Escanor didn't feel a thing. he then walked right up to the villain's face. "How can I hate those weaker than me? All I feel is pity." This sent the villains into orbit with rage. I freakin' loved it. he was a true Chad.

"The whole point of scouters in the original Dragon Ball was that relying on them too much made the Frieza Force worse at fighting" And thus, Geoff singlehandedly destroyed the arguments that 99% of the Dragon Ball Z fandom keeps having online

A town formed from caves is in fact rather realistic. That's basically Middle Ages Shaanxi. In fact, it would be less likely for an actual stone age person to live in caves permanently than a middle ages person living near a limestone mountain range

seven deadly sins is what people think all modern anime is the show

This video helped me get the punchline of the joke I played on myself like 4 years ago by thinking this was one of the best shows

So it’s true that Jericho gave up on Ban and now wants to bone his son????😳😳 Did the author watch Twilight Breaking Dawn, saw the Jacob/Reneesme imprinting thing and was all “I GOT IT💡”

I feel like I fell for the trap... I have never seen this show and I have no idea why I am watching this but I got about half way and was like "Surely this show can't get any worse". There is an entire 22 minutes left. How can a show be this bad?

I've stayed up for about 19 hours, and Imma write a better version. -All the wanted posters, except Escanor are the characters actual designs -Elizabeth is 18 -Meliodas is not a pervert, and always tries to drift away from Elizabeth, before she dies, and he hasn't met this version of Elizabeth, except a few times, due to the king's orders -King looks the way he does, because he had eaten away his feelings, after he blindly trusted some humans, where everyone, except him and a few fairies were killed. After that he tried to kill himself, but instead was nursed back to health by Diane. Whose parents were outlawed by the giants and died due to a deadly disease, that was caused by humans. -Elaine actually looks like an adult -Ban again, tried to still the fountain of youth, do to him feeling like he could live a longer life, and actually meet people he could care about. After he met Elaine when she stopped him multiple times, he fell in love with her, but still ended up trying to still the fountain of youth. On accident he ended up killing Elaine and cause the forest to wilt, and it became nothing but ash. -Gowther was a former demon, and one of the 10 commandments, and was close friends with Meliodas. After he found out Meliodas got with Elizabeth though, he caused the holy war, by telling the Demon King, And High Angel (made that name up, it's dumb, I know). -For telling him, The Demon King turned Gowther into a bloodthirsty monster, that felt nothing but pain. -After the holy war, centuries later, Gowther met the same princess, who he ended up falling in love with, but she ended up getting married, causing Gowther to kill everyone in the kingdom due to his lust, including the princess. - Escanors backstory is the same, since he is the best character. -Merlin is an actual grown-up woman, and she's a vampire, but has used magic to decrease the sun's effect on her. -Merlin actually likes Escanor but feel like they'll kill each other. Due to her bloodlust for eating people, and his powers. -Escanor got his sin do to him letting a monster eat a whole village and their souls, just so he can get a good fight. Which still wasn't close, and caused him to have a mental breakdown. And that's all I'm doing because I should go to bed and I hate this show since I liked it at first until the final arc of season one, and everything after that punched me harder than how hard meliodas punches ban. This was dumb.

Your description of Gowther’s story arc gave me the absolute creeps. It’s like the Tin Woodsman as sex offender.

The Meliodus / Elizabeth relationship explanation made me feel like I was going insane.

the fact that there is a hentai with better world building than this is enough reason to not watch it

As a big fan of blue exorcist i did NOT expect to be attacked like this!!! Heres hoping season 3 gets more love tho

What really sucks about the falloff from the first season is that there actually was a genuine attempt at setup and payoff. The downfall of the Fairy Kingdom and the actions of its few survivors are important to the backstory of 3 of the sins (admittedly, Diane’s is a bit of a stretch), and many elements of the finale connect back to this moment. One of the major antagonists for this part is King’s best friend, and the demon whose blood is used to power up all the Holy Knights was the one responsible for the forest burning down, and that Ban killed in revenge. It actually sucks that the writing kept doubling down on the worst parts, because I can see potential for interesting connections like that later in the series.

I am genuinely concerned about how often the author of Seven Deadly Sins has his adult male characters marry loltias or people that they helped raise when they were children (and they were still adults). Does anyone know if he's on a watch list?

Today I Learned that I made the right decision to skip this one. Good grief, "My Hero Academia if Mineta was the protagonist?" Can we just stop using SA as a "joke" in anime? PLEASE?!

I gotta admit, I stopped watching when it was clearly obvious that every relationship in this show was excusing pedophilia in some way. I was too grossed out to keep watching.

Say what you will about Seven Deadly Sins, but I think that Escanor's feelings for Merlin are hella wholesome and the closest thing to pure in this entire show.

I never got passed the unconscious booby touching scene. I knew EXACTLY what this series was by that point and I value my time enough to not waste it with terrible art.

The only reason basically anyone does basically anything in this story is to find love, which is weird, right? Like imagine if in John Wick everyone killed everyone else’s dog
