CANAAN - Episode 13
Land Of Hope
The train explodes. Canaan feels it and gets shocked but, only for some moments. She changes drastically after that. She finally understands how to do what Siam was telling her about. He was talking about how to use her synesthesia to it’s full capabilities. Alphard understands this and feels like she can see through her. She finally gets nervous and the battle shifts. Canaan is now in control.
A helicopter from the Snakes comes to get Alphard. She and Canaan fight their way to the top of the train. Canaan manages to get Alphard under her control. She says she finally understands Alphard’s color, it’s like she’s dead, since the moment she killed Siam. Alphard finally understands how she trully feels. She’s done the Flower Garden project in an attempt to become closer to Siam, since his work in creating Canaan is similar.
She then decides to stop it and "kills" herself, not letting Canaan save her. She’s probably to far down in her mind state to be able to just shift it quickly like Canaan did. After that, everyone goes back to their normal lives, separated but, together at the same time. The action scenes were awesome and very well animated.
It ends with everyone moving on with their lives in a mix of happiness and sadness, more happiness lol. Cummings is seen alive, joining some monks. Even Alphard is alive too, not sure how she’s going to continue her life. Yunyun continues with her jobs, promising to meet everyone again. Maria proceeds with her photographer carrer. Canaan continues her job.
This anime has a really nice final message, to cherish your life, memories and friends, remember them and mature through life. Love the final shot with both "Canaans".
After the ending, Canaan is shown, still on the same work with Natsume, older, her hair grown into a pony tail. She’s asked to kill a hard target, a woman with one arm. Not sure what this ending meant, not sure Canaan got who it was. I doubt this serves as a reason for a sequel, if there’s ever one, I think it will be related with something else. Anyway, really nice and complete episode.
