What's the Story?
THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS: GRUDGE OF EDINBURGH is set 14 years after the events of the original The Seven Deadly Sins anime.

A villain from the land of Edinburgh has placed a curse on Tristan's mother that has left her gravely ill.

Along the way Tristan finds other victims of Edinburgh whom he helps and befriends throughout his quest.
Is It Any Good?
This action adventure is best for fans of the original show otherwise viewers may be left confused. The Seven Deadly Sins: Grudge of Edinburgh is a movie follow up to the popular The Seven Deadly Sins series. Set 14 years after the end of the original anime, this movie is a companion piece that continues from an already well-established lore and setting. Characters, settings, abilities, and even the villain's motive for revenge all require a prior knowledge of the series. As a standalone film, however, viewers may enjoy some of the action sequences and positive messages, since Prince Tristan often exhibits the ideals of compassion and heroism. Overall, The Seven Deadly Sins: Grudge of Edinburgh is best left to the fans of the long-running anime series.
