How to watch The Seven Deadly Sins in order

Despite being a fairly short anime compared to other shonen hits like Naruto and Bleach, The Seven Deadly Sins is well-beloved and has several spin-offs to its name – and even a couple of video and mobile games too.

Though the franchise is full of twists and turns, watching the show in full is easier than it might seem. Here’s everything you need to know to watch The Seven Deadly Sins fully.

How to watch The Seven Deadly Sins in release order

While you could watch The Seven Deadly Sins in chronological order, you're almost guaranteed to spoil yourself in the process. So, for newcomers, our advice is to start with the release order.

As the show’s timeline is based on information revealed throughout the series, no nasty surprises will throw you off while watching Elizabeth in her search.

Doing that would make your watchlist look something like this:

There aren’t too many significant changes between this and the release order except for the OVAs. These were originally released at the same time but cover three different time periods, which ultimately changes their placement in the list.
