Canaan 11
September 16th, 2009
Summary:
Alphard interrupts Natsume and throws her a card with Borner data while giving Yunyun and Maria a chance to escape. Alphard doesn’t want to do any more Borner research, but she doesn’t mind others forking the development while the Snakes provide technical support. Natsume then calls in US-China forces to destroy the Factory so that the PLA can take credit for capturing the terrorists that attacked the meeting and stop holding a grudge against America. Canaan goes in to search for Hakkoo, but in a truly awkward scene finds Hakkoo making sweet love to Santana’s corpse. Hakkoo then tosses some Yunyun medicine to Canaan and tells her to GTFO.
Meanwhile, a heavily-armed Liang waits for the military intruders only to be surprised by Alphard and Cummings. Liang jealously beats up Cummings, but gets schooled hard by a knife-wielding Alphard. Desperate to make Alphard look at her instead of Canaan, Liang foolishly ingests experimental synesthia pills that rock her senses and make her look a little like Canaan. Seeing her reflection in the mirror, Liang begs Cummings to kill Canaan, and Cummings agrees in exchange for Liang’s love. As Cummings blows a hole in Liang’s belly, Liang tells him what he wants to hear as she dies in his arms. Alphard Alshua isn’t moved, though, since she is still pissed that Liang trolled her with a fake Siam letter that got led to her capture by the CIA.
Reaction:
So what was the point of Yunyun and Maria going into the Flower Garden? And how did Minoru and Canaan get out of the factory? My guess is that Minoru gave Hakkoo pointers on necrophilia in exchange for shutting up. It’s interesting how Natsume haggled for both the Borner data and a picnic date with Alphard in exchange for destroying the factory. Diplomacy rocks. Unlike diplomacy, however, Maria sucks. I can barely even tell why she’s on the show, and it was so awkward and silly when Maria took Canaan’s photo after Canaan did all the hard work. BTW, I have to ask… who gets to sit in the front seat on the ride back?
I thought that Liang got an awesome death scene, but what about Santana? He got s3xx0red so hard that the roof caved in and afterwards even Minoru needed a cigarette. Sucks for the other girls that used to work at Cosplay Santana. I felt bad for Cummings, but that’s what you get for being a heterosexual in a Type-Moon series. Meanwhile, Alphard continues to get the very best action sequences, and her disarm moves were brilliant. I was surprised at how flowery Liang’s attacks were, compared to her idol’s direct attacks, and I have to assume that all of Liang’s slashes were aimed at Alphard’s suspenders. I also assume that the reason that Liang is so crazy is that she had to watch her beloved Alphard research naked Canaan-esque fun dolls for years. Liang’s line about Alphard being trapped in an era without Liang was really brilliant, and I’ll miss that poor crazy girl.
