Canaan 06
August 11th, 2009
Summary:
The envelope from last time is a set of press badges and an invitation to the anti-terrorist conference. This is a big honor (and obviously a trap for Maria), but since Minoru is a real reporter he goes to follow up on the Ua virus story and sends Maria to the conference. When Minoru interviews Hakkoo about the Kashmir area village, he is surprised to hear that she can talk. Moreover, Noto Mamiko’s voice completely blows his mind and renders him helpless. Speaking of which, Maria meets up with god-mode Alphard, but conveniently does not remember her.
The conference is suddenly interrupted by explosions and a video of Liang’s mouseketeer avatar taunting everyone. The leaders are escorted to the “underground shelter” which is really Alphard’s BSL4 room with negative air pressure. The Japanese undersecretary dies from the Ua virus, and Liang eagerly shows Alphard that she has captured Maria. Liang is furious when Maria calls up Canaan and tells Canaan not to come save her, but before Liang can kill Maria, Alphard shoots the gun out of Liang’s hand and tells her to stop hating so damn much. Of course Canaan is on her way anyway, but she’s still running through the underground sewers per Natsume’s awful directions.
Reaction:
What the hell kind of photographer is Maria? She shows up with her kit lens and no flash. She takes no pictures during the attack. The only thing Maria is good at is amassing yuri harems, which is clearly the reason why Alphard is keeping Maria alive and infecting tons of men with the Ua virus. I liked seeing young Alphard in the flashback, and it seems like Alphard was the original “Canaan” back when Sham was hired to train her. I suspect that Alphard found out that that pedo-charmer Sham names all his snake-tattooed lolis “Canaan” (must be a title like “Phantom”), and killed Sham out of jealousy when she found out he was creeping with white-haired Canaan.
You know when you go to Mapquest or Google Maps and get some nonsensical directions? I feel that’s what Natsume did to Canaan, out of spite. We’ve seen Canaan hop on trucks before, so I don’t understand why she had to hoof it to Maria. As for Liang, she was pretty GET SOME GET SOME awesome in this episode, although I don’t understand how she could select bombs with her nunchuk to blow up unless they were sequentially wired. Liang singing along and declaring it the Age of Love was spectacular, but I feel bad with how she is constantly scolded by Alphard. It’s clear that Liang has been idolizing Alphard for a while, yet Alphard is always giving her the cold shoulder. It’s as if all Alphard cares about is getting with as many people as possible to give them STDs.
