Reminded by jsarclight in the KISS DUM thread,
To those who are wondering what "Pumpkin Scissors" meant, they revealed in episode 10 (i think) the origins of section 3 and why it was named Pumpkin Scissors by Alice. Very simply, Alice did an "inspiring" speech about how nobles are hard to get to.....especially if they are corrupt. They are like the thick skin of a pumpkin. Someone has to weed them out. Someone has to be the blade of the people. That will be us, the Pumpkin Scissors.
And yes it still sounds meh.
Anyway the way the series is going, the pacing is horrid. Initial episodes gave me much hope for it, but after a dramatic drop in art quality as well as really bad filler episodes, i'm close to giving up on this series. At least the latest episode 13 has a renudge up in art again.
