CANAAN - Episode 3
A Trivial Matter
Maria and Minoru follow the strange girl to a bar. There, comedy ensues. I’m really liking this series, feels kind of like watching a live action movie sometimes.
Some more info is given, the guys with the mark are Borners, they don’t seem to have organs? lol didn’t understand this part, maybe a translation error. Further into the episode, I realize they just have mutated bodies (and the focus is on the organs) which allow for their special abilities.
Canaan and Maria go play out in the city. Meanwhile Mito meets the strange girl again. No idea what her purpose his, besides making men bleed. As for Canaan’s special powers, it even allows her mind to enter software, electronics and the such.
The boy attacking them, it seems he just wanted to let Canaan know about them. He had some unresolved issues but, I don’t think he was actually trying to kill Canaan. Although I can’t really understand his motives, still, Hebi is trying to get Canaan and will probably continue sending more people.
After witnessing Canaan as an assassin, Maria gets afraid. Canaan, who can easily read people, understands the rejection and fear Maria gives towards her and leaves. Not sure where the story will go now.
As always, the animation and art were top notch. Lots of beautiful scenes. This episode wasn’t great on action, but still nice and deep in character development. Loving this series.
The next episode seems to be all about Canaan’s past. It will probably shed some light into the place where the mutated are all coming from and probably end Canaan’s development so the story can focus on the plot from now on. Maria will also be trying to figure her feelings. I think she’ll end up understanding and "forgiving" Canaan.
