The Seven Heavenly Virtues

The Seven Heavenly Virtues is a Japanese anime television series produced by the animation studio Bridge, released in 2018. The series acts as a thematic counterpart to the 2012 production The Seven Mortal Sins, originating from a multimedia franchise created by Hobby Japan. The project was designed to anthropomorphize specific virtues, mirroring the character-driven model established by its predecessor, and was broadcast as a short-form series consisting of ten episodes.

The character designs for the series were supervised by Niou Ishii, who also served as the director and writer. The production was conceived to offer a lighthearted, symbolic exploration of moral ideals through an anime aesthetic, leaning heavily into stylized characterization. While the franchise itself has a dedicated niche following within the otaku community, the series was received primarily as a supplementary entry in the broader Hobby Japan lineup rather than a mainstream critical focal point.
