Cike Wu Liuqi Fanwai

**** NOTE: It is better to watch this after you watch the original series****

So basically this is sort of like a prequel from the original series because it gives pretty decent backstories on the side characters who appeared on the anime. It was mostly to do with the old bird and Seven's love interest. I gotta say, not only were their stories decent, they were seriously badass and pretty deep. When I say deep, it means they each had their extremely unfortunate tragic experiences and made themselves on how they want to be recognised on the original series.

I honestly wish they could've made more ... episodes and continue with this series as a season 2 but I still found this very short prequel Chinese anime quite great anyways!

In this continuation that is actually a prequel, Killer Seven eases up on the comedy to deliver more serious storyline. This actually works well, as the "comedy" is quite weak in the main series while the action scenes are nice to watch. This way Cike Wu Liuqi Fanwai gets rids of it weakness while expands upon its strength.

Even with a background of originating from a comedy series, this prequel is surprisingly serious and dramatical, featuring the backstories of Thirteen and Dai Bo (the blue chicken with sunglasses, for those who have troubles remembering the characters name). The story flows nicely with a good pacing and ... the episodes are entertaining the whole time.

I have previously complained about the lack of characterization in the first Killer Seven series, so it's nice to see that those extra episodes provide exactly that. If you like the main series, you should definitely watch this. If you didn't enjoy the main series as much, this might be a quick fix for that.

Ok hear me out. Just stick with it. This is a prequel and you need to watch it. It's not really interesting but its only to get you to know the characters and the background. The episodes are short so its not a problem. After this watch the Sequel: Cike Wu Liuqi
its a really weird show but in a good way. The comedy hits just at the right time. Give it a shot. The episodes are short and good. In this part of the anime you get to know the main characters in the next anime and how they became what they are in the Sequel. ... Give it some time i'm sure it will grow on you.
And one more thing.. Watch this and the Sequel in English Dub. Its way better
