Does this series get any better? The characters and humor are alright, but the battles make absolutely no sense.
>Meliodas effortlessly beats every opponent in his path
>wait, no, he can't beat Guila
>then he can't beat Helbram, even with demon powers
>but later, he fightes evenly with Hendrickson, who is stronger than Helbram
>King effortlessly beats Guila, because he has his weapon
>King is powerless against Helbram, despite having his weapon
>wait, no, now he can beat him for some reason
>Diane effortlessly beats Helbram, because she has her weapon
>Diane is powerless against Dreyfus, despite having her weapon
>Ban can heal from any attack
>except when the plot requires he can't, then the enemy will magically have the power to give him injuries he can't heal from
If you're not going to have tactics and strategy in a battle shounen, you have to at least default back to power levels. But Nanatsu no Taizai doesn't even have that. So far, characters win battles when the plot wants them to win, and they lose battles when the plot wants them to lose.

While it's not as apparent on the Manga, it is an issue that characters change power leves so often, and such contrived ways sometimes, that you really can't take that seriously at all, if you ever did.
In the manga they ended up going with numerical power leves, probably because of what you said.
Anyway, it's a battle shonen manga, this is not that unorthodox. Law of "whatever suits" might seem too arbitrary, but at the same time it can work and it is, in fact, quite a popular show.
I don't follow it too closely though, only when i really got nothing else to read.

No, it's shit.

The Sins weren't really serious against Guila. Mel lost to Helbram, because he went full demon. Higher raw power is not always better. Hendrickson isn't even that powerful, he was just keikaku man. Even Arthur could go 1-on-1 with him.
King didn't want to fight Helbram, he was dicking around. After Helbram tried to kil Diane, King got serious and beat him.
Diane is fucking powerful, but Dreyfus' ability is 'I win if I want to win'.
There are only really few ways to harm Ban. King tried it with petrification, and there will be soul-eating demons later. What Jericho did was something time-freeze related. It's not that Ban couldn't heal, his wounds were frozen in time.

maybe the director doesn't know how to make fights exciting?

>Dreyfus' ability is 'I win if I want to win'
Then why did Dreyfus need Hendrickson's help to kill his brother? And why does Dreyfus seem to fear Hendrickson?

Oh boy. I could answer, but these are actual plot points in the next season.

>Hendrickson [...] was just keikaku man
He is but a little baby. Only Frau-chan deserves that title.

You just kind of have to go with it. Don't think too deeply about the power levels.

>>154360183
I would agree, and then the mangaka wrote in actual numerical power levels. That's about when I stopped reading.

It's dumb shonen anime
don't think about it

So was a S2 confirmed or not?
