This show looks pretty interesting. I wonder who is going to pick it up in the US (if anyone at all, but my bets are on Funi).

Probably Aniplex USA,since it made by A1 Pictures.

Ah. I'm still a bit new with anime production companiess, so I wasn't aware A1 Pictures animes normally go to Aniplex.

Probably Aniplex USA,since it made by A1 Pictures.

It's also likely that Funimation may pick it up, given how Funi has licensed anime versions of Kondansha shounen titles that are known to have a following of some sort (Tsubasa, Negima, Fairy Tail, Attack on Titan).

Well I am okay if Funimation picks this up.Aniplex USA has a stupid crap on DVDs and Blu rays anyway.

Unless Kodansha forces Aniplex (who owns A-1 Pictures) to put the title up for bidding the show will go to Aniplex USA.

It actually depends. Aniplex seems to be part of the production committee, but they may not own the distribution rights for overseas. It really depends on how the rights are split between the production committee members. I wouldn't be surprised if it's Kodansha handling it, but I'm not ruling out Aniplex.

Netflix will stream the Seven Deadly Sins: Four Knights of the Apocalypse sequel anime soon.

 

[PicardMan]

Okay, Telecom is apparently going to produce what sounds like the Seven Deadly Sins version of Boruto or Yashahime and will probably be as controversial as those two aforementioned shows. At least Telecom should be able to do competent animation unlike the previous seasons of the main show.

I get the sense that Boruto and Yashahime really soured you on anime sequels.

And Eureka 7 Astral Ocean for those who remember that. The offspring of the main character sequels have been mostly controversial. Just looked at the wiki and it looks like Percival is not the kid of any of the main protagonists of the original Seven Deadly Sins, so this one doesn't count in the "offspring spinoff" subgenre. That brings a little bit of hope in me.

11/19: The new series premieres on January 31.


12/28: Another trailer posted.

It just didn't come out. Social media is on fire with anger and confusion. Delay?

Someone on reddit just said it went live. I don't have NF right now to verify that.

Just checked that out. It's now out and I guess people just expected a midnight release. Prime time releases on streaming appear to be a new norm.

The News Team's own PicardMan has a new review on the front page of AnimeSuperhero.com:

"Review: “Seven Deadly Sins: Four Knights of the Apocalypse”: Another Inferior Anime Sequel"​

"There have been several sequels to popular shonen anime titles throughout recent years, most of them being rather controversial. Compile this controversy with the controversy about everything Seven Deadly Sins related after seasons one and two, and you get a recipe for contentiousness. For those who aren’t familiar with the rise and fall of this franchise, let’s do a quick recap.

In 2015 Netflix had their first major exclusive license of a battle shonen property and it was the monster hit that was season one of Seven Deadly Sins. A1 pictures created some truly dazzling action scenes and the franchise’s knack for romantic drama excited shippers everywhere. For fans of medieval fantasy series, this was a must-watch show. Season two continued the momentum of season one and introduced iconic villains The Ten Commandments and iconic hero Escanor. In 2018 Seven Deadly Sins released the movie Prisoners of the Sky. It was a standard shonen side story movie that had the flashy action scenes fans expected, but it did very poorly at the Japanese box office and A1 abandoned the series.

The studio that took over, producer Studio Deen, created a production (the actual animation was actually outsourced to an even cheaper studio as Deen just produced it) that will live in infamy for its poor animation quality. Fans have dubbed seasons three and four “The Seven Deadly Frames.” This was followed by two CGI sequel films that were equally derided for their visuals. The franchises’ reputation has drastically taken a nosedive and the question is if this new series can save it."
