![]() ![]() "But dude, it's a comedy, who cares about the story?" is what you might be asking. Maybe those are all secrets that are planned to be revealed later, but I doubt that as they were all presented as a matter of fact that shouldn't be questioned and because from what I experienced of Chinese fiction so far, it frequently doesn't really dwell on explaining the stuff. Something that I'm not also very fond of is that almost nothing is explained, be it the scissor telepathy or the transformation that are both used frequently or even the world setting where a teenage boy just nonchalantly accepts the idea of becoming a killer of hire without any moral stutter. A little twist here and there to the usual format would have been nice. While some of those self-contained stories were fine, mostly it was just somehow predictable meh. This show is episodical and unfortunately except for the first episode and the finale it follow exactly the same formula - the protagonist accepts the contract, the protagonist tries to fight the target, some sob story plays out and the protagonist ends up not killing the target for reasons. too harsh of an expression, but they are certainly not that interesting. That said, this somewhat fails at the rest of the departments. I would honestly say that the animation alone is enough reason to watch this. This combined with the unusual (at least for anime) character and setting designs makes for an enjoyable parade of animation with plenty of sakuga moments. Looks like Scissor Seven had noticeably higher animation budget than usual Chinese animated series and it shows. Let's start with the best part - the animation. Is it "worthy", or should another one have been picked? ![]() Scissor Seven is the first Chinese animation to be picked up by Netflix. S02 is vastly different from the previous season and overall it may be a sequel but it surely isn't a spiritual sequel. **To briefly give my 2 cents about the sequels: The 4 extra episodes are loyal to S01 and very well worth a watch. I highly advice to give this series a try, because it might just as well bring some life into your day and cleanse away your worries. It is heart-warming, fun, and so kind that it still feels weird to have discovered a true gem by simply browsing Netflix for 2 minutes. I have nothing but respect to give in return.Įnjoyment-wise, I watched Scissor Seven in a good time because it was exactly something I needed to cheer me up after a shitty day, and when combining this with how good the show actually is (I already rewatched the entire thing to ensure I wasn't just hyping it for no reason), I can only say that my personal experience with this show was nothing less than blissful. This series doesn't spoonfeed anything as it very clearly and entirely trust in the audience, showing mad confidence in its own content. ![]() The series is almost slice of life with its execution as the only party who gets to actually realize how great of a person our main character is is esclusively the audience. The series is entirely humble, it shows massive respect towards human life and greatly values the awesomeness of its characters, but in the same time, there is a complete absence of flamboyance in the narrative. And he does that by simply being a reasonable, good person. Be it a pair of lovers separated, family being torn apart or even suicidal person planning to end her own life our main chacters unites, fixes, and heals. During his sneek-peeks into his victim's life, he learns about his victims, makes his own conclusions, accept these victims as who they are, and instead of ending their lifes, he ends up making a difference in their life. the stories are humor filled life lessons where, instead of doing his job, he ends up quite literally doing the opposite of killing. Our story centers around a scissor-wielding, shapeshifting, hairdresser/assassin who is ready to kill any man, woman, or child for mere 88 bucks. This anime is pure joy to a point where it could as well be labelled antidepressant. And when I say you should watch it, I really mean you should, because Scissor Seven is absolutely fantastic. Scissor Seven is a Chinese anime produced by Netflix and you should watch it English dubbed. Imagine a series which comes with One Punch Man's humor, attitude and fight scenes and combines them with Mob Psycho 100's heart, love and kindness. ![]()
