The show’s minimalistic approach to animation makes it stand out. The plot revolves around an amnesiac barber who sought to become the best assassin in the world with a strange choice of weapon—scissors.

With a trusted pair of scissors and the ability to disguise himself, Seven offers contract killing for cheap. But there’s one little problem; he often has trouble completing assignments.

Loved by millions, each episode of the series has an average of 16 million views and has been dubbed in multiple languages such as English, French, Japanese, and Spanish. 

Moreover, the series, bundled with exciting characters and scenes, has successfully gathered positive reviews from critics.

Netflix Debut Of The Series

Despite the immeasurable popularity of the series in China, it took a while to mark its place on the popular streaming site Netflix, making it the first-ever Chinese anime to hit the international screen. 

With 14 episodes in the first season and ten episodes in the second one, the series was like a gift to the fans during the global lockdown of 2020 and gained an IMDb rating of 8.2.

Not just that, in 2018, its first season was nominated for a TV Film award at the prestigious Annecy International Animated Film Festival, and in 2019, at the 26th Shanghai TV Festival, the series received the Best Animation Screenplay award for its second season.

Available on Chinese streaming sites Tencent, Bilibili, and Youku, it’s just a waiting game now before Netflix announces its release date. However, it is predicted to be released by mid-2021.
