"The Seven Deadly Sins" fans were appalled with the confusing release of "Signs of Holy War" which Netflix has mislabeled to be "Season 2." The labeling fiasco resulted in mixed responses that also went viral on the web. It seems that the airing of the four-episode OVA further hyped up the highly anticipated "7DS" season 2 as it allegedly sets the mood for the new season.
When Netflix released an official announcement saying that season 2 will be aired on February 17, millions of "7DS" fans went lollapalooza. Fans begin to post their excitement on their social media accounts.

Unfortunately, when February 17 came, the network did not show a "season 2" episode. Instead, Netflix aired the four-episode OVA titled "Signs of Holy War."
It turns out, the network mislabeled its digital announcement with a "season 2" marking when it officially announced the Februay17 episode. What was shown was the four-episode OVA which is an extension of "The Seven Deadly Sins" Season 1.
The confusing release led to mixed responses that have surfaced on various social media accounts. In a Reddit discussion, a lot of fans expressed their disappointments.
However, there were solid fans who still expressed their endearing support to the anime series. Instead of hate talks, some managed to refocus their energy on the thought that the four-episode is a good sign leading to season 2. The mistake appears to have hyped up further the excitement for season 2 of "The Seven Deadly Sins."
This positive vibe was also noted in another report. The airing of "Signs of Holy War" is just trying to set the mood to prepare the fans of "7DS" for the upcoming season 2. It was actually a brilliant move from the network to air a follow-up to season 1 as it also serves as a springboard for the new season's plot.
The Inquisitr notes that the "Signs of Holy War" poses an avenue to present several potential plot points for season 2. The publication further explained that anime fanatics should also understand that production companies usually wait for the manga to tackle several arcs prior to the production of the upcoming anime. The same has transpired with popular franchises like the "Attack on Titan" and "Tokyo Ghoul."
There is still no official statement from Netflix regarding the labeling fiasco and the final release date of "The Seven Deadly Sins" season 2. Since the "Signs of Holy War" seems to set the mood for the next season, fans of "7DS" may just patiently wait a little further for the new season.
