Unironically i can't believe this is not considered a modern shounen classic.
The artstyle is goated. The story is good, the action is awesome, the world building is awesome and unique, the characters are awesome.
I remember when it started it was considered as having big 3 potential.

I quit around the time angels showed up and were jobbers and from what I've heard it got even worse from there, the fuck happened to the author did they just lose interest or go hard on power levels? I think the last fight I payed attention to was Escanor's "Who decided that?" fest
>>
>>287011986
exactly
The first anime, before they started putting numbers on power was the best
>>
>>287011730
It is not. The first season/arc is a classic, it subvert the classic shonen trop, the art is toptier, the only minor flaw is the slight fanservice

It went shit when they introduced powerlevels and made us realize that the whole cast could have ended the serie before it even started but for some reason didn't. The 10 commandements are pretty badly managed and Escanor was good but annoying at the same time due to his strength

The manga became EXTREMELY bad since the twist of you-know-who, Elvis powerup and final battles (3-4 lol ?). Even the ending was underwhelming

>go hard on power levels
that happened

>>287012918
>the only minor flaw is the slight fanservice
as in there should be more fanservice? Yeah, I agree with pretty much everything you wrote
>>
It's not underrated. It might be somewhat unknown in the west but it's hardly irrelevant in Japan. Its popularity and reception are reflective of its quality.

>>287012918
>the only minor flaw is the slight fanservice
this is not a flaw faggot

>It went shit when they introduced powerlevels and made us realize that the whole cast could have ended the serie before it even started but for some reason didn't
This is the main through-theme of part 1. The entire cast is overpowered and could have solved 99% of the Kingdom's (and world's) problems, but they have emotional hangups that prevent them from doing things. This is also why the better received arcs are all about character exploration and basically nobody actually cares about the fights. The fights become good because of the buildup to them, this is why the 10 commandments mostly failed since nobody cared about them, and because Meliodias' and the demon backstory in general is garbage a lot of those fights didn't hit.
>>
>>287011730
I liked season 1 for being this whimsical fantasy adventure about a weird hobbit man & friends that didn't take itself too seriously and all the fights were extremely brief.
Season 2 turns into full on DBZ slop with unironic fucking power levels and scouters and super powerful sayian demons appearing out of nowhere and now the protagonists are suddenly completely outmatched and have to go to the magical cave where time stands still to train and this is where I dropped it.

>>287012963
Nah i meant the Elizabeth/Meliodas stuff, obv there was more going on but it was off putting people, but i think it was only the first episode that was heavy on it

People don't realize how big the first season was. It was JJK/KNY tier lol. Loved this manga, but it had too many flaws

>introducing shit romance, only gowther or escanor is understandable rest is shit or cringe we still don't know why meliodas like eli ffs
>introducing power levels
>every fight became about haxx and merlin/escanor/meliodas power ups
>final bosses are ridiculous, the first form of the first final boss was good but the rest? cmon
>the artstyle changed for the worse but thats my personal thought, probably nakaba got burned

Idk if its me or but i feel the serie become more childish and ridiculous as it went on. If it stopped at the first 13 manga, it would be more talked about


>>287012990
Yeah during the first part, but we still don't get why the sins are pretending to lose to fucking bomb girl and why they keep having "troubles"; By season 2 this theme supposed to be gone so there is no excuse
