Pumpkin Scissors

Recently, I finished off a couple anime series and started looking for a new one. After looking through a few, I found one that caught my interest. Pumpkin Scissors. Despite the odd name, it is a very interesting anime. It's based in an empire that has just come out of a huge war, and the platoon pumpkin scissors is part of the war relief. I'm currently 4 episodes in out of 24 total episodes. So I was wondering if anyone else had heard of/seen this anime.

What are the pumpkin scissors, though? D:

It sounds okay. I might look into it, if I ever get the chance.

Pumpkin Scissors is the name of the unit the anime follows. The true meaning behind it is explained somewhere in the 5th to 10th episode.

It's actually a rather meaningful part of the anime. Ofcourse then again, why should someone who slurs the Japanese partake in the greatness of their work?

The only meaning it has is the fact that the group is called Pumpkin Scissors which was made from a metaphor in the anime that could've easily been something else. It doesn't really have much true meaning to the theme of the anime at all, it's just a name of a group that could've easily been something else, although I guess the creator loved how it sounded. It isn't a problem, a lot of Japanese things do that and it's perfectly fine, but it hardly has any true meaning to it.

Kinda what I meant. Probably phrased it incorrectly: "important to the characters"
