CANAAN - Anime Review
428 The Animation
CANAAN
This anime started has a first episode with some really nice animated action and big number of potentially interesting characters. Not everything excelled but, all in all this series turned out pretty good and above average. I watched it first for the action but, the show ended up deepening it’s characters a lot and the last episodes, specially the ending, were what made this anime really good.
I didn’t find any of the characters annoying and started liking some of them a lot in the end. I specially liked the two antagonists’ story, even though it can only be (partially) understood in the end lol.
This series has some humor and lots of cool action scenes, even though short. As for the drama, I only really liked it in the end, the stuff happening between Canaan and Alphard, the rest wasn’t really that interesting but, never boring too. What’s important, e
Bottom line, started as an above average action series, that ended up delivering fully with a really nice ending.
Finally the ending left me optimistic that if there’s ever a sequel, it will much better and more mature and got me interested in checking the original Wii visual novel, although it probably wont ever be made available in English :( There’s also a manga out there, probably a direct adaptation of the anime, not sure.
On what I can definitely check, there’s 3 rumored CANAAN movies to come. I’ll post more on it once I know :)
I thought the series started real strong with the action but fizzled out at the end with the non-ending and Maria being a useless piece of luggage. Would watch the sequel though if it ever happens.
