![]() As the series progresses, the events become more complex, more bizarre, and on several occasions, disturbingly dark (my favourite arc is a particularly gruesome one involving a flamethrower and a relentless death toll). In terms of structure, Pumpkin Scissors progresses at a fairly episodic pace (some stories span three or four episodes) and employs a case-by-case presentation style in order to map out the Empire's unhappy society. Pumpkin Scissors feels a lot like Full Metal Alchemist would if it had no magic there is a lot of tragedy, it has unique fantasy/sci-fi elements, and plenty of challenging mysteries through which highly likeable protagonists have to persevere. In fact, the result turned out to be subtly intelligent, pleasantly creative, and anything but a campaign of blind idealism. StoryWhen I first approached Pumpkin Scissors, I could not imagine what else the plot could consist of apart from a bunch of do-gooders rescuing babies from burning buildings and ploughing fields with local farmers. ![]()
