I love anime, but I can be pretty picky. I made the unfortunate mistake of watching Attack on Titan as my first anime ever, which is good because it’s what made me fall in love with the genre, but bad because it’s the best anime I’ve ever watched and now it can be hard to find a new show that gives me the same sense of all-consuming obsession. 

Luckily, I discovered The Seven Deadly Sins on Netflix last year, and it did NOT disappoint. This show has everything: humor, action, adventure, and the kind of romance that never gets resolved, so you get to spend the whole season yelling at your TV because WHY WON’T YOUR OTP JUST GET TOGETHER ALREADY OH MY GOD THE TENSION. Fun times.

About The Seven Deadly Sins show

The Seven Deadly Sins tells the story of Princess Elizabeth Liones, who runs away to seek out the help of the eponymous Sins after a band of corrupt Holy Knights takes over her kingdom. The Sins are a band of former knights, each with unique magical abilities, who have disbanded after allegedly attempting to overthrow the Liones Kingdom themselves. Elizabeth reunites the band and together they set off on a quest to take back the Kingdom through the power of having really awesome powers (and, you know, friendship). 

Whenever I watch this show I find myself desperately wanting to cosplay every single character because all of them, even the minor characters, have such great looks. Since wearing battle armor or a tiny neon leotard isn’t super practical for every day life, I’ve put together a few outfits based on my favorite characters from The Seven Deadly Sins! 

Elizabeth Liones

Elizabeth may seem like your typical damsel-in-distress princess, but she is actually sweet, selfless, optimistic, and courageous, and she proves herself a valuable member of the team, endearing herself especially to the leader of the Sins, Meliodas.
