The first season of Scissor Seven is now available on Netflix, complete with an English dub and subtitles. This 10-episode ONA series from Sharefun Studio follows Wu Liuqi, an amnesiac barber with telekinetic scissors and shape-shifting powers who moonlights as a bounty hunter. Despite his formidable abilities, Liuqi's ineptitude and fundamentally good nature consistently lead to comedic failures on his assassination attempts.
With a MAL score of 7.9, the series blends surreal humor, martial arts action, and surprisingly poignant character moments. Scissor Seven satirizes common anime tropes while developing a quirky world filled with eccentric characters, rival assassins, and secret organizations, all orbiting Liuqi's quest to recover his lost memories.
This season serves as an ideal entry point, establishing the origins of Liuqi's disastrous bounty-hunting career and introducing the core cast. The show's distinct visual style and rapid-fire, gag-driven comedy have cultivated a dedicated fanbase since its original broadcast.
The Scissor Seven franchise extends beyond this initial season, featuring a prequel, multiple side stories, and a sequel titled Scissor Seven: The Strongest Hairstylist, underscoring the series' ongoing popularity and expansion. With all 10 episodes available, viewers can easily experience the complete first arc of Liuqi's misadventures.
