Shows that feel likeThe Seven Deadly Sins (2014–2021)

The “Seven Deadly Sins”—a group of evil knights who conspired to overthrow the kingdom of Britannia—were said to have been eradicated by the Holy Knights, although some claim that they still live. Ten years later, the Holy Knights have staged a Coup d'état and assassinated the king, becoming the new, tyrannical rulers of the kingdom. Elizabeth, the king's only daughter, sets out on a journey to find the “Seven Deadly Sins,” and to enlist their help in taking back the kingdom.

If you loved The Seven Deadly Sins, the closest series we have are The Shannara Chronicles (2016), The Misfit of Demon King Academy (2020) and Chainsaw Man (2022). All three share The Seven Deadly Sins' kinetic and epic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Frieren: Beyond Journey's End (2023).
