It's officially confirmed by Forbes that Netflix will soon be releasing their second 'Netflix Original' anime for their service, The Seven Deadly Sins (Nanatsu no Taizai), very soon on November 1st 2015. The service will soon announce it completely at New York Comic Con. Unlike Knights of Sidonia, there does not seem to be plans for an English Dub with the initial launch, only Japanese w/English subtitles.

“The Seven Deadly Sins” books and TV series tell the story of seven knights outlawed after they supposedly conspired to overthrow their king. Each displays a starkly different personality and is associated with a different sin, though in typical anime fashion, all are young and remarkably cheerful-looking. A young princess seeks their help when the Holy Knights who exiled them capture the king and start their own evil government.

The first show to be part of the Netflix Original Anime mark was Knights of Sidonia (Season 1 & 2), which received an English Dub. This will soon be followed by the TV version of Ajin: Demi-Human which is slated for appear in Q1 2016.

Forbes was also granted permission to release a trailer for the series:

Do we know if this will be the first 12 episodes or all 24? I'd assume all of them considering how long ago it aired, but worth asking. :)

Definitely looking forward to the addition of this. I can't say I'm the biggest fan of the Seven Deadly Sins, but I'm happy to at least have the option of watching the rest of the anime.

All of Season 1 (aka Episodes 1-24).

In terms of audio, Netflix are providing more information at NYCC so they could announce a Dub option.
 
When most people think of "Netflix Original" programming, their minds may jump to the critically acclaimed&nbsp;<strong>Orange Is The New Black&nbsp;</strong>or the gritty Marvel Cinematic Universe-based <strong>Daredevil</strong>. Last year however, the global streaming service expanded into the world of anime when it secured the rights to Polygon Pictures'&nbsp;<strong>Knights Of Sidonia</strong>, streaming it worldwide under the banner. A year later, Netflix have picked up another Japanese-animated series for their service.

Last year, A-1 Pictures adapted Nakaba Suzuki's fantasy adventure manga&nbsp;<strong>The Seven Deadly Sins</strong>&nbsp;into a 24-episode series and from&nbsp;<strong>1st November 2015</strong>, the entire series will be added to the service's expansive library as a "Netflix Original". The seires will be exclusively available in Japanese with English-subtitles. Kodansha Comics, the publisher of the original manga, describes the series as follows:


When they were accused of trying to overthrow the monarchy, the feared warriors the Seven Deadly Sins were sent into exile. Princess Elizabeth discovers the truth&mdash;the Sins were framed by the king's guard, the Holy Knights&mdash;too late to prevent them from assassinating her father and seizing the throne! Now the princess is on the run, seeking the Sins to help her reclaim the kingdom. But the first Sin she meets, Meliodas, is a little innkeeper with a talking pig. He doesn't even have a real sword! Have the legends of the Sins' strength been exaggerated &hellip; ? Prepare to get swept away by an epic fantasy story and colorful cast of characters that will rewrite the history of manga as we know it!


Netflix will continue to acquire exclusive rights to anime for their service going into next year as well, following an announcement that they will be streaming the television adaptation of Gamon Sakurai's horror&nbsp;<strong>Ajin: Demi-Human</strong>. The series is currently scheduled to be broadcast in Japan from January 2016.

....I tried to merge this thread with the one for my article, so people would be redirected to this one if they saw it on the front page but I dun goof'd. Ooops.
 
So people went apeshit at Viewster for being one or two days late with titles, but Netflix takes 12 months and only ConanThe3rd is willing to say anything?

If Netflix are insistent on acquiring exclusive anime content, the least they can do is not wait 12 months to make it available. I'd have thought it would have been in Netflix's interests to break pattern and release it subtitled weekly, but apparently not.

Are you freaking kidding? A whole year this whole sorrid affair has taken and they can't even put together a dub?!

My thoughts exactly as I do hate waiting a long time for an anime and a year is a F ing joke especially for no dub
 
To be fair Netflix, from what I recall, didn't even mention having it or having interest in it until well after the series started broadcasting. They also said all along they wanted to release it as a finished set rather than stream it weekly.

I think they have waited a bit too long to get the thing out, but on the other hand they never promised to release it when it aired either and it's still better than never having it at all.
 
If they were adding episodes weekly, but started weeks/months after it started to air then yes, I would be rather frustrated, but in this case I consider it to be a catalogue title and I'm just glad to see more anime legally available.
 
Then they sat on it for a year when someone else could have been simulcasting it.

See, this is the sort of nonsense that allows...the other...to have their way without quarter.

I mean, cripes. They're simulucasting Once apon a-fracking-time, something that even Channel 5 didn't want to bother to fart out once a week, over here for goodness sake.
 
Netflix has had the series for ages, the only thing that's been holding Netflix back is seemingly sheer laziness. The only possible excuse I can think of that might even vaguely hold water is that they were waiting for the home video versions to become available to them, but I very much doubt that's it...
 
I can't imagine aniplex (Given that this is the one side of sony that has any synergy to speak of between A1 and Aniplex) would have been all upons to hold it back given it's sort of the stable mate to AoT and everything.

What can I say, I am the terror that flaps in the night. I am the little chicken called "Why not better?" that pecks at your subconscious.
