The four-episode "Seven Deadly Sins" OVA (original animation video) just wrapped up last Sunday. After the airing of the special episodes, fans of the anime are now wondering when the second season run will start airing.

According to reports, the announcement of the upcoming "Seven Deadly Sins" season 2 will be detailed on the 43^rd issue of Kodansha's "Weekly Shonen Magazine."

It was previously announced that the production of a new television series season was given a go signal for this year and it will have the same staff who worked on the series' first season. However, when the OVA was released, it was revealed that it had a different working team to that of the first season.

It is also possible that the team working on the second season of "Seven Deadly Sins" is the same to the team who produced the recently released OVA. It is also speculated that it will continue the story that transpired in the four-episode special.

The recent OVA was helmed by Tomokazu Tokoro, while the first season of the anime was directed by Tensai Okamura. Nothing changed with the lineup of voice actors and the Chief Animation Director. Tatsuhisa Suzuki still lent his voice for the lead character Ban.

As for the plot of "Seven Deadly Sins" season 2, it is speculated that Meliodas will finally get the victory he has longed for. The new season will also see Meliodas getting his full powers, which means that it will be used to an expected strings of action-packed battles.

The manga author of the series Nakaba Suzuki is rumored to be eyeing three-story arcs with 100 chapters each. However, there are still no reports whether the manga artist has completed the planned story arcs. It is possible that if the source material is still incomplete, the anime series may be delayed.

Fans are still hoping that "Seven Deadly Sins" season 2 will be aired anytime before this year ends.
