Seven Mortal Sins

Lucifer, a proud archangel who defies the heavens, ends up banished to the lowest circle of hell. On the road to damnation she encounters Maria, a high school girl who offers aid. In the fiery underworld she meets Leviathan, who introduces the seven crowned demon rulers tied to the deadly sins. When those seven keep the heavens from regaining control, they seal Lucifer's powers. With her access restored only in a limited capacity, Lucifer teams up with Maria and Leviathan, forming an uneasy alliance as they set out to topple the sin kings. The show blends myth with modern life, using sharp action and striking visuals to explore what loyalty, power, and identity mean when rules crumble anew.

Released in 2017, the series is an original animated adventure created by Kinji Yoshimoto. It features a voice cast including Eri Kitamura, Akane Fujita, Arisa Sakuraba, Ai Kakuma, and Yoko Hikasa, with brisk pacing and a glossy art style.

Reception is mixed, reflected in a modest user rating of 6.9 out of 10 from 48 votes. The show leans into themes of rebellion against authority, unlikely teamwork, and the blurring of divine and mortal concerns, balancing high octane action with mythic lore and a hint of destiny.

While not a household name, the show taps into a long standing fascination with Lucifer as a complex anti hero and with the seven deadly sins as political factions. Its character dynamics, including a reluctant alliance between a human teen and demon rulers, resonates with fans of dark fantasy.
