A sequel to the 428: F?sa Sareta Shibuya de game, it centers on three women and how they are connected together to an

Another is Alphard, Canaan's rival and also a skilled assassin and mercenary while heading a terrorist organization

Weskalia's Canaan Tv Review
Rated:
At essence, Canaan was an entertaining show, a girls-with-guns/mystery/supernatural anime similar to those of Noir and
Madlax, if you like those genre, you might like this. In many ways, Canaan lacks details, plot holes appear if one
ponders the series' logic even a little bit, it contains some of the worst cliche found in many common works with the
ending lacks a sense of closure. Still, this one looks and sounds good enough to succeed purely as a girls-with-guns
series if nothing else.

Canaan is a great series. I really enjoyed the conflicting scenes between Canaan and Alphard. There were also quite a few comedic scenes throughout the series, which really helped to lighten the mood when the series took a turn down a dark plot path. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys a good action series.
back07 rated 8.50:Two years ago, Shibuya was ravaged by a biological terrorist attack using the deadly Ua virus. Maria Osawa was saved when her father inoculated her against the virus, but is left with partial amnesia from the shock. Now working as a cameraman, she reunited with her friend Canaan in Shanghai. Canaan is an assassin gifted with synesthesia, and she's being targeted by the terrorist squad Snake. Meanwhile, numerous groups converge on Hong Kong, all after either Canaan or Maria.
minayuri rated 7.00:Pretty good action oriented anime series, it reminded me of Black Lagoon in a lot of ways, with the character of Alphard being sort of like Revy. Series has some shoujo-ai overtones with Canaan and Maria, but it was well played and very sweet.
MisaSasekage rated 9.50:My favorite character is Alphard. I love her hair, her outfit and I think she's very pretty. I just wished that the anime was longer, the writers/producers would've decided to explain and show more of Alphard's and Canaan's past and also wished they would've talked more about what happened to the characters after the end of the series since Canaan got a call for a job about a one-armed woman, who is clearly Alphard. But they didn't, they just showed her getting the call and they showed Alphard walking out of an airport after getting bumped into by a little boy who then looked back because he bumped into her arm but it was no longer there. But even with my problems with the anime I loved watching it for those 13 episodes!
kuryuki rated 7.50:
When I watched this the first time I stopped at the first few episodes.
However after I finished it it was really interesting.
The art style is not exactly my taste, but the story's quite cool *u*
It's about people with different senses than normal people, I find that quite cool xD it's like a whole different world
