15sok: That's like the irresistible force paradox, i.e., the "can God create a stone so heavy even he is not able to lift it" paradox. Both are really good. :)

Roboartitec: Yes, Nanatsu no Taizai's basic plot has many elements that are considered cliché, while Kongō Banchō is quite original. However, what I like more about Nanatsu no Taizai is that while it does have fancy battles, it doesn't focus on them as much as Kongō Banchō does. Also, Kongō Akira's goal was as firm as rock ab initio: he had to stop the Banchō protect and then, his brother, whose name was Takeshi, if my memory serves me faithfully, from destroying the world. NoT, on the other hand, is not set firmly at all, and has many other points that make it a very nice read despite its clichéd elements.

As for the anime, Unok, if the current popularity of Nanatsu no Taizai continues consistently, we can safely assume that the anime will be ongoing. I, being a great fanboy of the series, want the anime to begin as soon as possible. Since Denpa Kyōshi, another manga I quite like, has gotten an anime at less than 100 chapters, I thought having chapters very soon would not cause any problems. Seems I was wrong, but I will continue to hope that the anime is released as soon as possible.
