Parents' Guide to The Seven Deadly Sins: Grudge of Edinburgh Part 2

The excessive wordiness of the title reveals a lot about how convoluted this story is. Indeed, The Seven Deadly Sins: Grudge of Edinburgh Part 2 isn't a sequel that stands alone, and even if one is familiar with the original movie, it's still best enjoyed by those who are already fans of this series, as this will not garner any new fans on its own.

It's the usual anime excess of "kitchen sink" storytelling: There are so many side stories and so much exposition that it's hard to figure out what exactly happened, even if it is only a 54-minute sequel. Aside from the central conflicts between Tristan and himself and Tristan and Lancelot, the lack of context with the other characters makes it difficult to care one way or the other how this turns out. Furthermore, in the middle of all the characters' transforming into monsters or fairies and swordfights and spellbinding, etc., there's a truly bizarre attempt at humor involving a man burying his face in the cleavage of his wife after reuniting with her and shaking his head in joy while the other characters look on and laugh. That said, that one moment, as weird as it is, unlike most of the rest of the movie, has some entertainment value.
