I agree, but still hold firm that the pace won't be lightning fast. As I said, we haven't even seen all the Sins in a series called "The Seven Deadly Sins". If it's only 2 cour (22-26 episodes), and they're covering 90+ chapters, that's just way too condensed. Ideally, 2 cour series should only cover six to seven volumes (eight at most) - nine is really stretching it, and anything beyond that will make the series suffer.

If you don't like my example of AnE, than refer to my HxH example - 38 chapters in 20 episodes, going at a relatively fast pace. For the record, Nisekoi will not make it to 90 chapters (which is good). I don't want NnT to go too slowly, but a fast pace would ruin it just as much (look at how Magi suffered from it). I'd say 2.5 chapters per episode is ideal, with 3 or more for the action heavy parts, but alot of chapters end on cliffhangers, which may make that difficult to pull off.

In my opinion, ending it with Gowther's introduction would be the best route (59 chapters, along with Bandit Ban and the first two extra chapters - in roughly 24 episodes), though it would leave a lot to be desired. Ideally, Byzel wraps up a lot without introducing too many concepts, but the pace would be too slow (unless they include filler). This is why I'd honestly prefer it to be a long running series.
