Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for fantasy fans and animation lovers.
The mood: Feel-good.
The pace: Moves along nicely, at 1 hr 19 min.
What might put you off: Rated PG-13. Probably too much for younger kids.
It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).

With the help of the "Dragon Sin of Wrath" Meliodas and the worst rebels in history, the Seven Deadly Sins, the "Holy War", in which four races, including Humans, Goddesses, Fairies and Giants fought against the Demons, is finally over. At the cost of the "Lion Sin of Pride" Escanor's life, the Demon King was defeated and the world regained peace. After that, each of the Sins take their own path.
