With the help of the "Dragon Sin of Wrath" Meliodas and the worst rebels in history, the Seven Deadly Sins, the "Holy War", in which four races, including Humans, Goddesses, Fairies and Giants fought against the Demons, is finally over. At the cost of the "Lion Sin of Pride" Escanor's life, the Demon King was defeated and the world regained peace. After that, each of the Sins take their own path.
Cursed by Light is a direct sequel/epilogue film to the Seven Deadly Sins anime series, functioning largely as fan service for existing viewers rather than a standalone narrative. The plot is thin and episodic, wrapping up character threads without strong dramatic tension beyond what the series already resolved. Acting (voice performances) is competent and consistent with the series. The animation quality is solid for a theatrical anime release with some impressive action sequences, though nothing groundbreaking cinematographically. Novelty is low as this is a formulaic sequel epilogue that recycles the same world, characters, and power-scaling battles without introducing fresh ideas. The ending provides closure for fans but lacks the emotional punch that might have elevated it, given Escanor's sacrifice was already handled in the series.
