The story ofSeven Deadly Sinsis rather ironic to begin with. Each character in the main cast resembles their respective sins greatly. The anime was designed in a Middle Ages European setting which seemed to appeal to the shōnen fans a lot. The action sequences, storyline, and engaging characters make the anime alive. The series has 5 seasons, two movies, and three OVAs, along with two sequels.
A new fan who is just getting into the series might get confused as to where they should start or what the correct chronological order is to watch the series to understand the canonical story properly. In a recent interview, the editor of the originalSeven Deadly Sinscommented upon how fans can start with the series.

The plot ofThe Seven Deadly Sinsinvolving Meliodas, Elizabeth, and their crew might have come to an end with the initial titles and the movieGrudge of Edinburgh. However, the anime will continue to live on thanks to the sequel,The Four Knights of the Apocalypse. This is going to get its own anime adaptation in October, and the editors of the original manga were interviewed regarding the project.
The Editor shared toAnime News Network,
“So while Nakaba-sensei originally made the Four Knights of the Apocalypse for the fans of The Seven Deadly Sins, Nakaba-sensei also cared a lot about making the Four Knights of Apocalypse inclusive for new fans, too. I think you may start with the Four Knights of the Apocalypse and move backward into The Seven Deadly Sins, too, because it is made accessible.”
