Cike Wu Liuqi

To the casual eye, the amnesiac bounty hunter Wu Liuqi looks quite intimidating. With his deadly telekinetic scissor techniques and his ability to seamlessly transform into anything, one would not expect his modest demeanor. In fact, Wu is quite terrible at his job. Often times the freelancer can be found botching an assassination or targeting the wrong person. While his failures could be due to his subpar skills, it usually boils down to him being a normal kid, with a heart unsuited for his line of work.

Accompanied by his feathered friend Dai Bo, Wu is on a simple quest to regain his memories. Although his inconspicuous day job as a hairdresser and his after-hours occupation are simply a means for him to repay debt, his various ventures seem to intertwine with his pursuit to recover his lost past.

I wasn't sure what to expect when coming into this show. It's got a very unique art style, and kinda reminds me of a saturday morning cartoon. After the first episode, I was entertained enough to keep going and see what the show had in store. It's a bit of a slow burn, despite being 15 min episodes, but the payoff ws worth it.

The show revolves around Seven taking on different hitman jobs, and we get to learn about a lot of the inhabitants of the island. They've all got quirky and unique personalities, but they feel realistic, despite the absurdity. This show has a ... few moments where I'm wondering why they did something a certain way, and a character will outright call it out. I should mention I watched the English dub, so I'm unsure if the dialogue is changed much from the original, but it was good.

Anyway, the show was entertaining enough, but it was a bit slow. The animation was unique and interesting, but did feel a bit low budget as well. The finale really pulls it all together though. I even considered bumping this up to an 8 after that, but I need to judge the show as a whole. I hear the later seasons are even better, so I'm excited for what's coming next. If you want a bit of fresh air and something different, give this one a shot.

Mixed Feelings

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.

Secondly, I'll just straight up say it, I'm Chinese and through some experience cannot bear any Chinese voice acting in some snippets of Chinese cartoons I've seen, so instead I had to bear the English dub. I had to bear it, because damn the MC's English dub was just straight ASS (a nicer way of saying it would be "unfitting"), I HATED it, I could bear every other character's voice except this dude's. If I'm going to describe it, I'm going to first take a big guess and say the VA's got to be Asian and probably most specifically Chinese but also sounds specifically like an Asian 14-year-old kid who probably listens to JuiceWRLD, Eminem and "Sunflower" by Post Malone if they said they listened to rap (the sunflower part was intentional) and since it's 2024, maybe even "Not like us" (Please don't get offended if this describes you). Now I know I just sound like a straight hater but that's because it's true, there could have been any other individual that could have sounded good for this role but I guess maybe they were trying to go for a more comedic route to have picked this dude? Idk, but it just sounds goofy but in an unfunny way and a Johnny Bravo/Heroic sounding guy would have probably been more bearable for me, which brings me to my third thought.

It's probably unfair to say this considering the show's probably targeting kids out of my range but the comedic part of the show was just not hitting AT ALL, I could only laugh at any corny moment I saw but that was about it, literally the parts that weren't meant to be funny at all, and this is coming from someone who laughs at ANYTHING. To be honest, I wasn't looking for a lot of comedy, mostly action, but not much of that was there either so I would just be hit with blanks of comedic attempts that just weren't for me.

And going back to the subject of dub, on the website that I watched this on, the dub and sub were pretty different, idk if it was a cultural difference or because it was like the ghost stories situation where the actors had absolutely no idea what the characters were originally saying, or final theory is that the dub tried to convert the best out of what was being said for the Chinese audiences, to something that every other audience could get a handle of. I'm just saying that the dub was probably more fun than the sub if you're reading this.

To conclude, I'll just say the only reason I don't like this show is probably because it's just not my thing and has humour in a medium that doesn't move me at all. The things I liked were the minuscule amounts of action scenes that basically only showed up at the end and Thirteen. And though I expressed my hatred, I am still willing to at least try another season in the hopes that there is more action.

I have no idea what season 2 is about, but this feels like a ten-episode prologue for what's to come. To give you an idea of what to expect, this feels like One-Punch Man for 10-year-olds but with an incompetent, amnesiac assassin rather than superheroes and monsters. The music is literally the same in every episode. The humor is amusing at first, but it gets really annoying after the second episode.
Personal recommendation: if you're barely interested in watching it, at least do so with any dub you understand and play it while multi-tasking on 1.2 or 1.5 speed. That's what I did. You won't be ... wasting so much time if you do so. But if that still doesn't sound good to you, feel free to skip this show entirely.
