Canaan – 03: The Color of Rejection…

July 22nd, 2009

That’s a new excuse…

What a silly episode it was this week, though I suppose that Cosplay Santana will have a special place in the collective memories of those who saw and were overawed… Surely such an odd establishment is a rarity in this season. I suppose Hakko really is a lost little kitten, and I am sure that Mino is in a somewhat envious position. While old man badass and his younger brother were not long for the world at least we know now that they were UA tested and got to become BROKEN as a result, I think that similar result could have been achieved if they were introduced to Mako-cakes but there is more than one way to skin a cat. Speaking of cats it seems Hakko has taken a liking to Mino and revealed to him her HOPES AND DREAMS, certainly that came out of nowhere, but I doubt there are many who would complain.

The waitress seems to for now be some sort of spy as Canaan brow beat Mino into bank rolling their yuri dayto, which was to be their last as Maria showed off the color of rejection. What action there was remained fairly solid though much more time was spent at Cosplay Santana than shooting of little jihad-kuns. Nevertheless this is wonderful news as now Alphard onee-sama is still in Canaan’s heart (this bodes well for my OTP) as they share a mark of fate as they have matching tattoos. Sadly while it seems that Alphard has been loyal, and prevented her star struck imouto Liang Qi from getting into a fight with Canaan, the same cannot be said for Canaan. It was unfortunate that Canaan decided to cheat on Alphard with Maria who is shallow and super boring though I suspect that after Alphard grows an ahoge that Canaan will feel the love again. At least Alphard had the foresight to provide Laing Qi with ample airsoft ammunition. Next time though the lovely Alphard and her adoring imouto are going to a high class party, from what we have seen I think Alphard looks as lovely in a dress as she does with a gun. Still what did Maria think Canaan used her gun for? This isn’t exactly Canaan’s first use of deadly force…

Calawain’s Commentary

Have some nekko-mimi meido to soothe your sould after that comrade…

If I hear that blonde bimbo say “sugoi!” one more time I’ll fucking kill someone. I found her somewhat annoying previously, but man this episode sent it over the top. She has such a grating voice, and is way too happy for a dark show like this. I hope Canaan ignores her forever, although I know that won’t be the case.

For all that supposed planning and an attempt to get revenge, the little kid’s plan fell pretty flat on its face. All he got out of it was gunshots to the belly, and a swift death. I cheered partly because I got tired of hearing Junko Minagawa’s voice. Here’s hoping we get more action and less dates with irritating females next week. I’d certainly like to see Alphard and Canaan go at it, but they would probably save something that awesome for much later in the series for a greater impact.
