Synopsis

Returning to Xuanwu Country, Wu Liuqi embarks on a journey to rediscover his beloved partner and confront the elusive memories of his past. As he grapples with long-buried truths that evoke both sorrow and anger, the stakes become higher. With the weight of his experiences pressing down on him, he realizes that he no longer has to face these challenges alone.

In this quest for understanding, Wu Liuqi must navigate the complexities of power and its implications for his future. As he makes pivotal decisions that will shape his path, the blend of action, adventure, and emotional depth invites viewers to explore the intricacies of memory and companionship amid a supernatural backdrop.

Otaku Consensus

Scissor Seven: Fragments of Memory earns its 8.25 MAL score and 82/100 AniList rating by letting Xiaofeng He’s creator-director-script control sharpen the franchise’s tonal balancing act: assassin farce, martial-arts swordplay, and wounded memory drama all feel authored rather than committee-made. Its strongest asset is the memory-fragment structure, which gives the 10-episode season a denser emotional charge than its niche MAL popularity rank of #5796 suggests. The main criticism is accessibility: this is not a clean entry point, and its compact run favors accumulated payoff and future-facing decisions over standalone closure.

Why You Should Watch

Watch Fragments of Memory if you want assassin action that can pivot from ridiculous physical comedy to sincere grief without sanding off either edge. It scratches a similar itch to Gintama’s tonal whiplash and Mob Psycho 100’s heart-under-chaos energy, but with a Chinese donghua identity built around martial arts, swordplay, amnesia, and super-powered assassin politics. The appeal is not “bigger fights” alone; it is the way Xiaofeng He uses a short 10-episode season to make old jokes, half-remembered identities, and sudden violence feel like parts of the same wound. If you want shounen-style momentum without tournament bloat, and mystery without losing the comedy pulse, this is one of the tighter modern action-comedy continuations.

Key Characters

W
Wu Liuqi
Wu Liuqi remains compelling because his goofy assassin persona and buried anger are treated as inseparable parts of the same identity crisis rather than as separate comic and dramatic modes.

What Makes It Stand Out

1
Sharefun Studio’s franchise identity is built around elastic 2D action timing: martial-arts exchanges and slapstick gags share the same visual grammar instead of feeling like separate shows.
2
Xiaofeng He is credited simultaneously as director, scriptwriter, and original creator, giving this season a rare level of single-author continuity for a serialized action-comedy.
3
The AniList tag spread is unusually specific: Martial Arts at 79% and Assassins at 73% sit above Amnesia and Swordplay at 60%, accurately signaling that the season is driven by combat culture as much as by memory mystery.
4
Its reception profile is that of a concentrated cult favorite: MAL lists it at 8.25 from 6,042 votes and rank #361, while its popularity rank sits far lower at #5796.
5
The 10-episode format makes the season feel intentionally compressed, using the “Fragments of Memory” structure to prioritize revelations, emotional aftershocks, and character-altering choices over episodic reset comedy.

Fun Facts & Trivia

Fun fact 1: The Chinese title Wu Liuqi: Jiyi Suipian directly foregrounds memory fragments, matching the season’s emphasis on identity, recollection, and emotional fallout rather than treating amnesia as a background gimmick.
Fun fact 2: Xiaofeng He holds the three key creative credits listed for the series: original creator, director, and scriptwriter.
Fun fact 3: Sharefun Studio is the listed animation studio for this 10-episode finished season, continuing the franchise’s association with Chinese original animation rather than Japanese manga adaptation pipelines.
Fun fact 4: MAL and AniList users are closely aligned on the season’s quality: 8.25/10 on MAL and 82/100 on AniList indicate nearly identical approval across the two databases.
Fun fact 5: AniList records 241 favourites for the season, a modest number compared with its high score, reinforcing its status as a smaller but highly committed fanbase title.
