I don't mind all that much about a week equal love. If you're literally spend like 12 hours a day with one person, you can grow to love eventually. Otherwise, lots of movies would be "rushed". It just needs to form a chemistry. Plus, this is not the protagonist's love story aspect, so in a way, I'm fine. I don't know about the aftermath and where this story takes us to with this Elaine's situation but we'll see how this panned out.

You have a point. We did turn it to a bad light, but I think it's because it's coming from a female perspective. It was one of the first things I noticed about Blaine, especially when looking at the official artwork:  

Pic
 

If anything this is the worst picture of them all. It made me realize how much I don't like Blaine as a relationship. But also, the whole "fell in love in one week" and now he can't get over her forever thing is kind of...corny. But also, Elaine didn't see any bad in Ban but it's like...how? Ban does a lot of suspicious stuff that's still not excusable. So Blaine is another victim of bad romance writing. 

 

As for King and Diane, I didn't ship them either at first. I was more into Hauser and Diane because they seemed more natural and also, less pedo. But- at the time, King wasn't fully developed yet. Like I said before, King naturally comes off as older because of his personality- regardless of his height. Same with Melodias. And once I read the side story for King I became a full time DianexKing shipper. King spent...how many years with Diane? Over 100? That's why this ship is believable. He's actually been around Diane long enough to know her. 

 

Buuut- with that being said- I don't like the fact that King fell in love with her as a child. That still bothers me. It's honestly...disturbing in it's own right. I'm trying to look past it because it's still the most believable ship but I gotta call it out as I see it. 

 

Another Notp of mine is MelodiasxElizabeth. But that's gonna be another long post.  

 

And as for GuilaxGowther, I just thought it was horrid writing. The fact that Guila still liked him after all of that gave me Naruto romance vibes.   

 

I'm with Trang on this one. Every romance in this series is borderline creepy and cheesy. But if I have to choose a ship it would still be HauserxDiane. It's the only ship that doesn't have any downsides and potential to develop. But that's not happening so...

That artwork is just a stylization I think  :sweat:

But okay if you don't like it, I can't do a thing about it. But what exactly suspicious stuff Ban did?  :headscratch:

KingxDiane... yeah, nothing good in that backstory, yeah, she forgot his love and this tragic, okay. I don't mind in, better than Hauzer, King suffered enough to being stripped even from her.

Mel x Liz... You know what? That's a fanservice on their part, you don't need to take it close to the heart, I mean it. I saw Meliodas's character type before (much better in my opinion than Mel right now), so I know what he is capable of, and fanservice? Damn I read way worth handled, so this is at least excusable. And all those pervy moves of Mel was done in early part of manga, so in last chapters in can't be seen to much.

You know, what is good in all this? That is development, bad or good - it is (maybe not in Elainse and Ban situation, lol, but at least basis of it). It's much better have something pointing out somewhere, than just 2 last chapters, you know what I mean.

Oh, and on Ban's part, I don't think that it's just "love" or "true love", Ban's feelings by my point goes to that she was someone who saw his true side, that's why he valued her so much as not valued sins who didn't bother to look deeper.

Okay since I don't have any else better to do, I'm going to write an essay on why I don't ship Melodias and Elizabeth (even though they are obviously going to become canon). 

 

Let me start by saying that Melodias looking like a child is a non-factor for me, I've said it a few times before, but he really just comes off as an short adult. His personality and demeanor are not child-like, so much so that it's hard for me to even read him as one. He's an adult to me.  

 

Now, let's break apart Elizabeth for a second. If you've ever read the original oneshot Nanatsu No Taizai, then you'd probably be just as dissapointed in Elizabeth's character as I am.  

Elizabeth
 

In the oneshot, Elizabeth had a way more outgoing personality. She was oblivious to her surroundings, and her determination for finding all of the Deadly Sins was strong (not so say it isn't now).  Melodias also had a different personality as well. He was more...innocent. More expression. But that's not really the main focus... 

 

So when the official first chapter of Nanatsu no Taizai came out, Elizabeth's personality was completely changed. She became seldom, pure, soft-spoken- a Hinata. And immediately, the way the "new" Melodias treated her turned me off.  

Chapter 1
 

 

And I think what surprised me even more was that the oneshot Melodias wouldn't have dared to touch Elizabeth like that. This one chapter alluded to what was more to come.  

 

Towards the beginning of the story, Elizabeth seemed to have a real problem with the way Melodias treated her. Remember when there were a whole bunch of Elizabeths and Melodias find out the real Elizabeth by looking at their panties? Yeah. The issue here is that Elizabeth as a character serves the purpose of fanservice, and fanservice only. She may have had a few feats that showed her courage, but the majority of the manga alludes to her showing off her body and being groped by Melodias.  

 

So when she finally awakened her all-mighty "powers", the first thing I immediately thought was- Hinata. Kind of like, how all of a sudden, Hinata is related to a demi-god and she becomes one of the strongest characters out of the blue? Exact same thing. Elizabeth gets holy powers yet we still don't even know about her connection to Liz. And what's another characterization that both Hinata and Elizabeth have in common? Blind love. It disgusted me how easily Elizabeth accepts his treatment of her over time. She completely stopped fighting it, and learned to get used to it. This type of writing is also damaging, and turns away female viewers. 

 

This may also be the reason why Melodias didn't score high enough on the popularity poll.  

 

 

But now let's look at Melodias. He's constantly messing around with Elizabeth and not concerning himself with her consent about the issue. It's nice that he shows that he cares for her- when she's not around, but whenever Elizabeth is near he completely degrades her into fanservice fodder again. If he can do that much, why not actually attempt to care about her. Does he know her favorite activity? Her favorite food? What's her favorite color? He comes off as if he doesn't want to get to know her, and instead only lusts after her. But another issue is that he's immediately okay with leaving her on the sidelines once her story line was finished. And I know that there were deeper feelings under this, but this is no better than when Naruto didn't respond to Hinata's confession. Both of the boys were too nonchalant about the situation, and didn't take into account of the other person's feelings.  

 

But also, there's that "kid" thing again. Melodias knew Elizabeth since she was a child, and now she's only 16. Yet, being the grown adult that he is, still continues to sexually molest her, knowing full well that she's beyond underage. I know the system is different in a fantasy setting, but like I've said before- implications in the real world still hold true. 

 

But overall, if I can't even accept Naruhina how can I accept Melobeth? Of course the latter seems more developed, but is it really? The romantic scenes are at the level of Naruhina, if not less. The "lust scenes" however are super developed. At least they spent more time together....

Yeah I don't take Melodias and Elizabeth to heart, but I definitely don't ship it either. I have nothing better to do so I just wrote an entire essay on them if you dare to read it xD  

 

The part that I bolded- makes sense. Now that I finally got my frustrations out about Blaine, I'm coming into terms with accepting them. And if she was the first person to see Ban's true nature, then hey. What can I do about that? They're already canon, so I might as well be happy for them.  :yes:   

 

But ahh- Ban has done some suspicious things. Like when he took Veronica hostage or threatened Melodias without question. Two times (the first ending up with a scar). 

 

Question:

How did you feel about Gilthunder being face rather than heel all this time?

Oh god I hated that. 

 

I like it when things like that can be foreshadowed ahead of time- not out of the blue. Terrible, terrible writing. Let alone the fact that nobody ever dies in this series. Apparently nobody can ever be evil either.

I see what you mean. I'll say it in short notes:

-Thankfully I'm not the only one that thinks One Shot Elizabeth is better.
-Maybe it's soon to call it out on the pairing because it's not over. Seems to hint at her trying to be useful now. I don't know if it's the story intention but it does suggest Melodias sees her as a replacement, by the way the old man questioned him but quickly brush it off. In other words, maybe it's best for him to see her as a person, not a replacement.
-The spending time together is already over NH, but I see your point, regardless that I don't agree.

Yeah  basically. Well of course, MelodiasxElizabeth has surpassed NH, but it still has the same qualities as NH. The same qualities that made me dislike NH to begin with.

Well, demon clans is happening so...

But I'll say this. I do think it would have been best if that explanation/flashback happened in a side story like Bandit chapter alas before that chapter. Because it's almost close to as Izanagi explanation. I know it was kind of sort of hinted back at the prison, but still, felt like I was hearing a happy song in the background, indicating good guys win (again).

Me tooo! It should have been dealt with in a side story at least. But also, that pivotal moment set the narrative for this entire story. If Hendrickson can been redeemed, then somehow the Demon Clan probably will be too. Nothing is set in stone, but if that really does happen I won't be surprised. (The only thing I got from the prison scene was him liking Margaret so I still didn't see it coming lol)

For a series that has a lot of graphic for a shounen (seriously...) it sure have the same morale as Naruto at this rate. Lol. But we'll see. Well I did say kind of sort of, not fully. Lol.

:confused:

1st - it's... well it's a big rant.

2nd... Isn't you ask too much of shonen manga to be developed into romance aspect? It took Naruto more than 10 years and it still ended as kitten.

3rd one-shot was horrible, that's another story white knight and really clumsy girl.  :down:  Yes those pervert heroes are disliked by females, but that's a rare type now. How many main heroes you could remember like Meliodas? I bet none. Because I can remember two more, and both was from 80 SJ manga's that was hit. Nowadays - many MC are too boring.

4th You taking fanservice too much into account.

5th NH to Mel and Liz? Wow... okay  :sweat:

_________

I came to conclusion that I don't really care about pairings here, more about characters.

Ditto here. The last chapter with that KingxDiane moment almost made me throw up. I laughed my ass of b/c it was so cheesy.

Tbh, the only couple I am interested in is MeliodasxLiz. Even though we haven't seen a lot of Liz, I think she's an interesting girl.

Read the oneshot. It was interesting, but I didn't think I don't think it was necessarily enticing (but then again, the first chapter of the manga itself wasn't that interesting.) I don't like Meliodas in that one shot either. He was too boring to me. But I wish the Elizabeth we've seen in that oneshot would have been in the manga. What I care about girls the most is not how skillful in fighting they are, but their personality. And I dislike Elizabeth's personality in the manga. Her "Meliodas-sama" is so annoying in the anime that I still haven't touched it.

Am I a fan of MeliodasxElizabeth. No, not at all. Never have been, and never will be, unless Elizabeth changes.

Do I hate Meliodas's perverted side? Yes, I do, but what I hate even more is Elizabeth's reactions. She embarrasses me as a girl to be honest, not being able to react appropriately when she is molested. So far, her only purpose was to be sexy eyecandy to the readers. That's it. We'll see what she has to offer as the story goes on.

I read the manga for its story, that's it.

:confused:

1st - it's... well it's a big rant.

2nd... Isn't you ask too much of shonen manga to be developed into romance aspect? It took Naruto more than 10 years and it still ended as kitten.

3rd one-shot was horrible, that's another story white knight and really clumsy girl.  :down:  Yes those pervert heroes are disliked by females, but that's a rare type now. How many main heroes you could remember like Meliodas? I bet none. Because I can remember two more, and both was from 80 SJ manga's that was hit. Nowadays - many MC are too boring.

4th You taking fanservice too much into account.

5th NH to Mel and Liz? Wow... okay  :sweat:

_________

I came to conclusion that I don't really care about pairings here, more about characters.

Yeah I told you guys it would be an essay lol 

 

Asking for a good romance isn't too much at all. I think the excuse of "well it's a shounen" is absurd. Just because it's meant for boys doesn't mean it's supposed to have bad writing in it. If anything, it upsets me that such a thing like Melodias molesting Elizabeth is in a story like this. What does that teach impressionable boys?  

 

Think Sun Ken Rock here. Ken and Yumin have a really good dynamic and relationship. Ken doesn't live solely for Yumin and Yumin doesn't live solely for Ken. And that's in a seinen manga. 

 

I've read lots and lots of manga. I've seen really good ones and really bad ones. And I can honestly say that Nanatsu No Taizai can do a way better job with romance than what they're doing now. But it just doesn't stop at romance.  :ermm: There's also the issue of no dying characters, shounen cliches, etc.  I could write an essay about that too. :twitch:

 

And yeah. NH is ME. Elizabeth is literally NnT's version of Hinata. And she's hopelessly in love with a guy that doesn't treat her correctly.

Yeah.....ah....I don't read the manga for the story either.....I only read it for King. I could care less what happens to the other characters.  :ermm:   

 

Nanatsu no Taizai is one of those stories that I really don't like but I stay because of curiosity. The characters in NnT are so enjoyable, and the artwork is awesome. That's why I continue reading. But the story in general? Eh. No.

That's what I kind of mean. Sorry, I should have worded myself better :sweat: . I'm genuinely interested to learn more about the other members' past.

I don't really care for the artwork, lol. Unless it's One-Punch Man style, artstyle rarely motivates me to pick up or drop a manga.

But to be fair, while the story so far was nothing mindblowing, I think the next two arcs might become more interesting.

I love the artwork in Nnt. Even when I get mad at the series the artwork makes it so worth it. I love the anime/cartoon mix it has. And the characters are always so well drawn. But really, I'm only interested about the fairy forest because- King. Couldn't care less about the Demons.
