----------------------------------------
Canaan has pretty good eyes and has great skills when she was little which shouldn't be much of a surprise^^ I think it's reasonable if Canaan wants to kill Alphard after what she did back then so hopefully we can see them cross skills :) the quality of the papers floating in the air are pretty good :D and I can see Maria just loves her food^^

Btw, Alphard looks stunning in her dress :D but the action between her and Canaan in the women’s restroom is good to watch^^

Awesome episode, great to see their past, and why they hate each other.
The washroom scene was nice. Alphard looks stunning in the dress.

Next ep looks funny with Lin and the manju buns Hahaha.

But why does Alphard hate Canaan? We don't know that yet, do we? She knew the guy she killed at least.

Its probably the dude she killed said that Canaan aint like Alphard and him or something. Dude probably knows Alphard even before he met Canaan.

Great anime series so far. It's nice to see Caanan's past and why she hates and wishes to kill Alphard, but why does Alphard and that Qi Liang girl hate Canaan so much? Is she jealous of Canaan? But why? Hates her so much she'd create a scene at the party by smashing her head into the glass! I'm interested to hear her story next.

Bathroom fight scene was great, the animations of this anime is superb as proven with the papers flying scene during the protest. So professional the paper was transparent the way real paper would look through light.

so far this anime is 10/10.

Good ep was ruined by damn Moe shit girl, Kudos for Chinese girl to tell Moe shit girl that she was stupid & fuck off outta China d(-_-)b Goodness, I swear that the F**king reporter couple is like this show's mood destroyer or somthing...Whenever they appeared, the show turns shitty for some weird reason...

Nah, do you even hear the famous phrase "Hell hath no fury as a woman scorned" ? Its J-E-A-L-O-U-S-Y, man. Alphard was pissed off that Shan turns out to be a Lolicon & pay no more attention to her hence she killed the poor guy out of JEALOUSY ;)

I agree with that. Its J-E-A-L-O-U-S-Y all over the place, man. And about your previous post something tells me that you'd give 6/5 rating for this episode XD

Damn, are you psychic or something 0-o? Yeah, I would gladly give it 100/5 if not for the reporter couple's presence and as I said in the prev. ep thread, as long as I can still see GODDESS LIANG QI, I will always grade it 5/5 no matter how bad the ep is until the show's end.

Catfight in restroom fanservice? Cool.

Since Canaan and Alphard are both, sort of, the daughters of master Naked Snake (check out the voice actor for Sham), I bet Alphard left Canaan alive because she needs her as a pawn in some conspiracy to rule the world with nuclear terrorism using a badass next-gen tank. Or maybe not. :)

Still, it does seem that Alphard wanted Canaan to fight with hatred, to prove that she's not different, just an animal that kills. Much like what that punk last episode wanted to prove to Maria too.

Oh and Yun Yun pointed out something so true: Maria is retarded.

Best episode yet. Canaan's backstory is something that's been done to death, but seeing her and Maria deal with their respective problems was wonderfully done. All the other characters are awesome too-not much originality persay, but they all have their moments of being cute, sympathetic and/or cool. And all that eye candy to boot-everything just as you'd expect from the director of Sword of the Stranger, but Canaan will probably turn out even better.

Beleive that they all knew each other, all three. Since the flash back, when Canaan was getting the tatoo done " I think" while the dude was there, saying that she doesn't have to go through with it.
Then she said" Something about being a family. So believe all 3 knew each other for sure, since Canaan and Alphard has the tatoo.

My only complain this time is the subs... they were lousy... and the font was standard and sooo hard to read... plus the timig was a little bit funny.... Man what an amazing episode peps!!!! So lame Maria is frightened of super kewl Canaan, but tries to remember the good times and now wants to see her again... Oh well.... SO we know now a lil' bit more of ALphard's and Canaan's past.... nice I really like it... So Canaan was instructed by this Shan guy... is he really dead? Something tells me he's not dead.... just a weird hunch.... I love the show... And oh my goshnesss!!! the Crazy Chinese Taxi Driver came back! Lol as always... Singing poppy songs XD

You should have chosen/waited for gg subs release instead of FMS which came out before gg and is most likely the one you watched. I heard their timing was off, like you said.

Great ep. Good to see Canaan's history but we've yet to see why, exactly, Canaan and Alphard hate each other. Obviously there was some sort of betrayal, but I'm interested in seeing what lead to it. Canaan charging Alphard in the train and screaming her name tells me there was more going on than Alphard simply killing her mentor. Hopefully we'll get to see that along with how Alphard got into the terrorism biz.

Great action in the restroom. I was hoping we'd get to see those two throw down soon. I got my wish hehe. I guess also, Canaan isn't quite the bad-ass we thought she was. Alphard seemed to have the upper-hand in that one.

And, even though I like Maria, gotta agree she came off as a lil' loopy in this episode >.> Seems like the kinda girl who lives in her own little world, and only visits ours when necessary.

Such a cliched backstory but I guess it is better than nothing... and at least nice to know. Other than that a fine episode and the fight in the bathroom was well animated as well as pretty damn cool.

The taxi driver better be in every episode from now on as well as the Chinese girl.

I'm trying to figure this out too. Qi Liang is one of my favorite characters but I can't figure out why she hates Canaan so much. Perhaps jealousy. Perhaps something not revealed. Also evidently she is not Alphard's blood sister since dude at party said Alphard is an only child.

I don't think Alphard hates Canaan. She just sees her as some silly girl who wants revenge. We found out this episode Canaan is not in the same league as Alphard skill wise.

Finally, who is is who keeps calling Qi Liang?


Anywayz, best series I've seen in a long time.

It would be crazy if that "chinese chick with lots of part time jobs" was the main villain XD Imagine her as the brains of whole organization! But thats probably not going to happen. She is probably a spy of some sort or something.

Taxi Driver > Canaan > Alphard > Siam > Everyone else

what i like about canaan (the anime) is how it sticks to it's visual novel description xD... how people from a variety of walks of life are intertwined within events...

so far they've introduced and developed every character pretty good

Best episode so far in the series, a lot of tension built up in this episode to go along with the drama. Canaan fighting Alphard in the bathroom was an epic scene. The only thing that irked me in this episode was Maria acting all emo over the fact that Canaan tried to save her life. Is she that dumb?

canaan wasn't using her eyes and it was more a psychological confrontation than a fight, i wouldn't say canaan isn't in the same league.
