This show has got to be out of my age range but I'll still give my pretty exact POV of it.
First and foremost I'm just going to say it, I thought the show was boring as hell all the way until maybe the last two episodes where I guess something actually... happens? The wait for the climax was excruciatingly long and I could only have made it this far because the episodes were short. Why did I think it was boring though? Well it pretty much got overhyped for me when I was seeing bits of it (mostly action) on my socials and I was surprised to find out the show was from China after wondering where the Japanese sub was (which I will touch upon later). Anyways yeah basically I got disappointed at the lack of action and the amount of what was basically a version of Peppa pig to get near the end.…

When i first begin this show, i had little to no expectations for this show only because the first ep was pretty much that, there was little to no interesting characters or plots that I wanted to see. But let me tell you the show started to become more and more interesting as each ep went by, turned out to be one of my favorite shows to watch that season.
The story begins with a guy who wants to be a professional assassin. What happens next is where it gets really interesting. I believe the method in which the creators take this average guy and take him down a world of mystery to something that is super interesting was executed beautifully. You start of with a pretty boring introduction and then you get slowly pulled in to the story and it only gets more and more interesting with every e…

The spouse and kid had previously seen this Netflix hidden gem, and once season 3 dropped we committed to a re-watch so our memories would be fresh.
Art 3/10
Let's get the bad news out of the way first - I HATE the art. It's terrible for 2018. The style, everything. I'm guessing they did this series as a "proof of concept" as the episodes are short but it's obvious the art is low quality. The interesting thing is if you watch it you can almost see the manga panels from which it is animated. This scene, one panel. Transition. That scene, the next panel. I've never experienced that when watching an anime before.
Story - 6/10
Wu Liuqi, a Beef Offal seller with great Scissors skills is persuaded by Bo Dai (his Blue Chicken friend) to become an assassin so they can earn more money to pay o…

Fun story you should watch, available in many different languages
The art style is unique, and quite fluid during battle scenes
The characters are cute, yet has a badass vibe to them
My only complains are the sound effects, and the details to fights. If added a tad bit more dramatism (preferably more bass boosted, or maybe just something that makes the punches more alive), the audience would be more immersed in the show and I would give it a 8-9 overall. What I mean is that the punches feels weak in the show, and the fights has like no impacts to it's surroundings (ground breaking, walls crumbling), that it made it feel a little dull.
Other than that, it's a good show, well done China.

Scissor Seven is a comedy series about a psychic barber assassin. Yes, that's what it's about.
The biggest appeal of this series is the animation. It could be more intense, but other than that, it's really smooth and nice to look at. The animation contributes to the entertaining battles as well. The one-episode appearance characters are pretty simple, and the main character is a 'loveable loser' kind of archetype at first. His chicken mentor guy is pretty cool too. The story starts episodic, but eventually becomes more focused and climactic. It's predictable, but entertaining enough.
The comedy is the main part I guess, but it's honestly hit and miss for me. It's very crude and low-brow, and I can only take so much of that. My favorite jokes were the really zany ones and the more visual…

Scissors Seven is the literal definition of "hidden gem"
This is ridiculously good, like sooo good. Don't read any review and go watch it. (sorry for mistakes in this sentences my english is far from perfect)
I randomly fell on the show when i wanted to find something to watch in the bus. I wasn't ready for this. In just three episodes on my, i was sold !
Just few default for a maximum enjoyment. Episodes are short and that impacts the narration of the hero's past who profile behind. Also the show rush the explanation of his universe in the last part.
The rest of the show is amazing. The Art is very original, it give us a fictional world with a strong personnality, intentionally unrealistic and i love it. Combined with an animation amazing especially in the fight : very fluid.
And that'…

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. Scissor Seven is a Chinese anime produced by Netflix and you should watch it English dubbed. And when I say you should watch it, I really mean you should, because Scissor Seven is absolutely fantastic. This anime is pure joy to a point where it could as well be labelled antidepressant.
Our story centers around a scissor-wielding, shapeshifting, hairdresser/assassin who is ready to kill any man, woman, or child for mere 88 bucks. Except he never does that. Vast majority of the stories are humor filled life lessons where, instead of doing his job, he ends up quite literally doing the opposite of killing. During his sneek-peeks into his victim's…

Scissor Seven is the first Chinese animation to be picked up by Netflix. Is it "worthy", or should another one have been picked?
Let's start with the best part - the animation. It's great. Looks like Scissor Seven had noticeably higher animation budget than usual Chinese animated series and it shows. 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. I would honestly say that the animation alone is enough reason to watch this.
That said, this somewhat fails at the rest of the departments. Well, maybe "fail" is too harsh of an expression, but they are certainly not that interesting. This show is episodical and unfortunately except for the first episode and the finale it follow exactl…

I don’t know how to convince you to read my long review, I might have to say something click bait, I will explain the BUTT character in my review, yes that butt that only appeared in the ending song, yes it has a back story! Please hold on…
Amongst a sea of saturated Japanese styled animation, Chinese animation have struggled to create a style for itself. When The King’s Avatar (Quanzhi Gaoshou) was initially released, there were comments on how characters have Japanese looks towards them – which I have to agree, if you ever watch anime you will know what I mean, it’s the way how Japanese anime draw eyes and hair, it’s not something you see in the western animation. Cike Wu Liuqi have managed to develop a style that is unique and simplistic, but still pleasant to the eye. I got to give it…

Overall Score: 9.3 (Must Watch!)
Tl;Dr: Good comedy anime, with amazing fight scenes. Watch it.
Story: 9/10
This show boasts a story that involves everything from goofy to badass, something that genuinely surprised me. The episodes usually consisted of a Now, that's not to say it's perfect by any means. There were moments where it felt like things were a bit poorly paced, especially when it came to transitioning from goofier, comedic moments to actual serious fights. However, this was a rare problem so I can't really take any points off for it.
Now, just to be clear, this is a comedy first and foremost. Think of it more like watching something akin to Mob Psycho: all of the fights are really cool to watch, but very few end without some goofy stuff happening.
My only problem is that t…

This one is a very unique anime, it is very beautiful, it deals with very interesting and moving themes and the way he dares the media "animation" is especially exceptional.
I think more productions could learn from this work, which is very little known but is already a masterpiece.
animes in general are much more resistant to trying other types of productions, mainly aesthetically, where there is still a great standardization, different from American cartoons that normally have their own style for each production, like Steven Universe, Adventure Time or even South Park, among thousands of others, in addition to the resistance of the otaku public when compared to other types of animations.

You know, I feel like the word underrated is overused. The term gets slugged around too much and has lost its meaning in the process. Scissor Seven, however, is not just underrated, it's a hidden gem.
It's the biggest strength by far is its creativity. It goes for everything. Ranging from the vast array of characters, and the absurd story, the unique animation, abrasive dialogue, or the beautiful action sequences. I promise you this is not a gimmick to garner views solely off of shock value, or this "random = funny" approach. It's as if the creative minds behind this received these blank cells, canvases, and scripts unaccompanied by restrictions and censorship. The show felt and looked like a passion project that was done by professionals.
The story, more specifically, the story progress…

"That was amazing. Am I right?"
SUMMARY
Strengths
-Amazing animation
-Good comedic timing
-Decent world-building
-Fun and interesting characters Weaknesses
-Lacks a little bit of exposition
-Not too present story
-Kind of abrupt beginning
-(Not really a weakness but) Lol what do I watch it in sub or dub?
What do I need to say to get you to watch this show? It is grossly underrated and unknown, released two years ago, yet it became one of my favorite comedy shows.
STORY [6]
This isn't really a plot-driven show. I suspect that the second season is a bit more story-based, but currently there's no eng sub or dub for it. The show is centered around Seven, a broke kid in "Chicken Island" who can control scissors with his Qi. His only friend is a blue chicken named Dai Bo, and together they d…

STORY:
Scissor Seven is a funny, quirky show with excellent animation. I feel like this might have been adapted from a webtoon or something because the pacing is break-your-neck fast. I still know next to nothing about any of the characters, but I would not mind seeing more of them either. (I see there are some OVAs, so hopefully, they flesh out the story). By the time, we find out some interesting character backstory, it’s the last episode ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Also, the last-minute world-building felt abrupt. Just bam! Here’s the guy who has come to take you out, and it is because of xyz! Still, that was a good fight scene tho, so I am not complaining.
If you’re here for a bunch of blood and guts, this ain’t for you. For a show about assassins, there is not a bunch of killing, which is certainly n…

Killer seven or scissors seven if your a Netflix viewer.
it is a quiet funny short Chinese anime with tons of visual gags some come of as immature but before you have time to sigh it throws another funny joke the main character is a wanna-be assassin but he's not good at killing he actually has a kind heart
ART 10/10
the art is all over the place and fast pace its very different then Japanese anime with more of a western style'
story 7.5/10
the story is surprisingly deep each episode has a different small story with a over arcing plot and with the OVA's it gives backstory to the side characters.
characters 10/10
the character interactions a very funny and Awkward the side characters are very fleshed out along with the main group.
recommendation 10/10
I would definitely recommend its…

97 were impressed!
1 thought the story pacing/plot was a bit nonsensical at times
1 thought the animation chugged or got lazy in parts
1 thought the voice work was just so-so
Killer 7 is coming in strong with the new year packing a punch and taking my lunch…money. *cough* This one’s pretty good and I’m glad I spent half an afternoon watching it yes you heard me just half an afternoon. This bad boy comes packed nutrient rich with tasty anime flavors and is consumable in its entirety including its 4 OVA episodes in a little under 4 hours thanks mostly to the shows 12-15 minute run time. Killer 7 presents something fresh, unique, and fun and along side it’s short run time there’s really no reason not to watch it. Heck even if you’re the sort of plebeian who watche…

I honestly never expected to have watched this underrated Chinese anime in my whole lifetime....regardless if it was on my watchlist for a very long time.
I didn't expect to see a Samurai Jack\Saitama type of character who was inspired by a historical figure and that folks is Wu Liuqi AKA Seven as you probably have never heard of before you watched this anime lol!
Seriously the dude was so effing badass and just pure funny the way he interacts with unique characters he bumps into. I really liked how the show deep dives into what these main characters are going through behind the scenes (cancer, forbidden love, family issues,etc) because we all have a life story to share at the end of the day! I have to advice anyone that's planning to watch this short Chinese anime to bring tissues as t…

Cike Wu Liuqi is one of these animes you usually wouldn't watch untill you are alone at 4am, doing nothing and seeing it being in a "recently uploaded" list. It's the typical anime you watch without any expectation and would even eventually judge a bit lame at the first sight, before watching every episodes of it without skipping any opening or ending and without being able to stop.
The anime will first grabs you with its humour and, its simple plot and its unexpected shitty plot twists while accompaining this with a very good ost and animation (taking in consideration the first impression you might have of it).
Don't take me wrong though, despite being "simplistic", the characters you will encounter aren't on the story just as flower pots, they are well made even if they are used in ve…

Hey guys,
It was so fun to watch and it really made me laugh (some times even cry xD)!!!!!
I've really loved it!!! You will love it tooooo !!
You should all watch it because all the characters have their own story and it really could touch the bottom of your heart. ^^
When I started watching it looked very strange (the drawing I mean) but later you get used to it and it's very awesome.
Btw the music was so epic, I have never skipped ending (it was very sweet).
I really want another season, thought. :U
And..... It deserves a bigger rating !!!! That's my opinion :)

Killer seven is an amazing short Chinese anime . It already gained huge popularity in China ,but seems pretty low key elsewhere so I don’t know if there’s sub but it should come one day.
It has simple but well thought plot , the animation feels cheap and more of a hand drawn style but everything runs fluidly and there’s no animation glitch or deformed face like in some Japanese anime. The fight scene are extremely fluid and well executed we can tell the budget went to the right place. Every episode have unexpected comedy scene , sarcastic jokes and pop culture reference with decent emotional scene.
If you can find sub or understand Chinese,I definitely recommend it. The sytle is very semblable to some Kung fu movie. It should be enjoyable for all age group beside 60+ i guess. There’s a…
