Wu Liuqi: Zui Qiang Fa Xing Shi

The second season of Scissor Seven: The Strongest Hairstylist delivers vastly more narrative progression, expands on seemingly minor characters, and capitalizes on the large potential demonstrated prior, all while preserving that hilarious comedic balance with serious undertones. It has found its stride. Although the show continues the trend of short, fast-paced episodes that sometimes gloss over details, many answers are provided for the questions that came previously, albeit more arise. For some reason, this is no longer being recorded in the romance genre, but make no mistake, there is pleasantly more than before. This infectiously fun world keeps growing, and more is on the horizon.

It has a rougher start than season 1, but gets to the better episodes a lot sooner. If you enjoyed season 1 then it's more of the same, which is a good thing.

The new characters and backstory are good. The only downside is that animation seems to have gotten even worse, especially at the beginning. Like it's a slideshow at times, which I understand they probably did the best with what they had, but it's noticable. It was a bit funny when they had one battle be super low budget since it was through the eyes of someone hallucinating, but that got a bit old ... as well. It does get a bit better bit the last few episodes though.

It looks like the next season will be a bit more plot heavy, so I'm looking forward to that. As for this season, if you didn't like the first season I wouldn't recommend, but I did and this one is good too.
