Wu Liuqi: Jiyi Suipian

Another great season. It was quite funny, and the animations and directing continue amazing.

Scissor seven makes the best use of the fact that anime is a visual media that I've ever seen, and this season is no exception. It plays with scene transitions (even the opening works out of that), it is full of visual gags, it frequently alternates art styles, and it has some breathtaking fight scenes. Overall, incredible work on the visual department, I wish more animes would do the same.

Futhermore, my one and only complaint is the plot. It was a bit slower paced compared to last season, mostly because of a ... lack of stakes during the first half of this season, but the plot in general is really nothing to write home about. Even though the anime can deliver some incredible moments, in a macro level there is not much going on. I found myself enjoying every episode, but I was rarely excited to watch the next one, as I was not as invested as I wish I was in the story. And that is because the scenes are amazing individually, but combined they do not amount to much of a journey in my opinion, as the plot structure is quite generic - I could predict almost everything that was going to happen.

Overall, another great season from a great anime.

I'm considering drooping Scissor Seven. I feel that my expectation were to high after season 4. The animation's quality dropped, the plot goes nowhere, they ignored the fact that it was plot driven despise having humour in it.

I'm sad to say this because Scissor Seven is one of my favorite anime of all time but the disappointment is real... I hope the last 5 episodes highers the quality and if it does I hope that they'll change their perspective on the story for season 6, if not that's sad but I'm gonna consider it wasted potential. Nonetheless it was a great experience for the ... last 4 years, even if I regret taking this many people on the hype train ride for this...

I'm saying all that with a hearth full of glass...
