Review of Scissor Seven: Xuanwu Kingdom Chapter

This show is highly underrated! Don't know why, maybe because it is Chinese or the artwork... But nevertheless the show is amazing. Never seen an anime with such a good balance of action & comedy. Characters: The characters are great. 13 gets finally the focus she deserves. She is the embodiment of a torn personality. On the hand she wants to obey the orders from her masters without exception, on the other hand her feelings are a hindrance for her and prevent her from doing the task. But finally she realizes it with episode 8 which was btw the peak and probably the best part ofthis season. Later on, at the ending the shift of focus from 7 to 13 was well executed. Love the twist at the end with the combined demon dagger sword she was unconsciously using.
7 is still the same funny goofy dude as always. This season he feels more reflective and deep thinking but still remains to his goofy personality. But let's be honest we all watch it because we want to see the former powerful evil 7. Scenes where his old personalities reappears, are the best and also the most hype scenes in this show.
Of course there are other characters like Dai Bo or Xiao Fei that they are more like a sidekick that's why I won't go any further on them.

Story:
The story is nothing special. But if you are already interested in 7 then I would recommend you to watch further. You get some insides about his past. But unfortunately very little, would have wish more old 7 scenes. Comedy of this season was good. Not that amazing like the first season with the panties' thief, the chief dog or the old lady, but it was okay and interesting to see 7 travel to Xuanwu while passing by some funny opponents. The opponents and especially their weapons are quite outstanding. The monks at the end was surely the best assasin ever. A Qi controlled prayer chain as a weapon which could change its form and mass. Great!

Sound:
Like season 1 & 2 scissor seven did a great job with s3 opening. It is a mixture of thrilling chinese guitar strings with a goofy touch till the end of the song. This also represents very well the personality of the main protagonist itself.

All in all, I would say, if you are a fan of comedy mixed with action, then I definitely recommend scissor seven for you. The characters are interesting and that's that also keep you from continuing watching it. Also, the story and the sound effects, op, ost are quite fitting in every situation. In conclusion, if you miss scissor seven you'll miss an action comedy gem.
