Scored from 41 calibrated IMDb reviewers, each re-centered on their own rating baseline before the title is ranked. Cohort: TV Series · 2010s (3,236 peers).
Summary
Chinese animated action-comedy series (original title 'Cike Wu Liuqi') created by He Xiaofeng. Seven is a hairdresser on Chicken Island who has lost his memory and moonlights as a cut-rate assassin, taking contracts brokered by his landlord Dai Bo, a talking chicken, to keep the salon afloat. His weapon is a pair of scissors and his disguises rarely hold, so most jobs collapse into slapstick before the target is anywhere near harmed. As he keeps failing upward, hints surface that his forgotten past ties him to the rival states of Xuanwu and Stan and to fighters far out of his class. The show pairs crude, elastic 2D animation with straight-faced wuxia-style duels.
Released in 2018, Scissor Seven is an action, adventure and animation television series. Its listed language is Mandarin. It was made in China. A typical episode runs 13 minutes.
Only 41 of its IMDb reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 47 reviewers with at least two reviews feeds the raw-average track. A second review pool sits behind it as well: 11 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately. 3,235 other television series from the 2010s form the cohort it is ranked inside.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where Scissor Seven lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against TV Series · 2010s (3,236 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 41.
