| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Gah, it ended. T__T So sad. Why the hell did Alphard die? She's awesome! D: And, WUT?! Cummings is alive? LIANG TOO?! Yay! Liang = the awesomeness! Canaan looks really cute at that scene after the ED! The scene in the Santana Bar, where that girl was singing on TV... It looked like the Lucky Channel background from Lucky Star. Watched the RAW. First time I fully watched a RAW, cause I was so damn curious. XD Gonna watch the subs, though. There's a lot of dialogue in this episode, so i didn't get it at all. BTW, the epic taxi driver returned! But no epic singing and no epic driving. D: |

| Liang was alive? I think it was Alphard, since her sleeve hung down in a way.. well, you know that she would have to use it with one arm less. One word: Beautiful. |

Oh, yeah, she was armless,huh... And Liang had white hair, too. ... Damn, guess it was Alphard. I was hoping for Liang to return. D: |
|
| Yeah it was Alphard. Happy to see her alive. |
| SOOOOOO HAPPY that Alphard is still alive. At the end when Natsume phoned Canaan (whose hairstyle is similar to Alphard's?!), Natsume mentioned about a new target 'one-armed woman'.... Another new chapter in this story?! So happy that both Yunyun and Maria both fine. Mino-san to the rescue! And OMG so surprised that Cummings was alive... Not to mention the awesome return of the still nameless taxi driver. And Nene's songs are still awesome. I will dl her songs when they come out! I guess the ending could've been better but it's still better than expected. I suppose this is fitting - the whole incidence in Shanghai finally comes to a close, so another chapter can begin... Overall, I decided to keep my rating 10 =) |
  |
| That wasn't very sugoi at all. |
| I was hoping Maria had died.... but alas, it was just a hopeless dream. At least Alphard is still alive and supposedly back to some devious schemes as usual. 8/10 |
 |
| Cummings, darn you, making everything dramatically good. The ending was acceptable for me, really didn't expect even Alphard to live, but it doesn't tone down the greatness. Canaan really looks like her all-grow'ed up. Is it me or do guys in this anime usually cry with only their right eye? |

| Great Series I Loved Canaan 10/10 xD |
 |
| Maaaan, waiting for subs was torturous. I was little disappointed on how the Maria x bomb went, that was just bit.. I unno. Ep 12 ended with the countdown and it justs ends up being "o she survived that, go get her YunYun!" Some more damage could have been done and her still surviving would be a lot better. I'm still glad she didn't die though. Canaan Vs Alphard was pretty awesome though, no complaints there. Yes, Alphard survived, I knew she wasn't gonna go out that easy. I'm pretty sure that was her and not Liang, seeing as a kid just brushed by her side and moved the coat. Obvious there was no arm there. Cummings a monk made me lol and the Taxi driver, huzzah. A pretty good series imo for what it is even if there are some flaws to it. 8/10. |
 |
| That was fucking sugoi. Loved this ending! It had taxi driver and everything. Alphard and Cummings survived, yay! :D I kinda feel like I want to give CANAAN an 8/10, with its great last few episodes.. But there's something that just doesn't click for me. Don't know. |

| Well, he didn't do much, but at leased the epic taxi driver made one last appearance before it ended. And Cummings as a monk was awesome, didn't see that one coming. Now that its over, time to sit back and wait for the epic taxi driver spin off show. |
  |
| That was awesome. Loved the action and the ending follow up. Cummings as a munk LOL, that was great, and woot the Taxi Driver! I like Canaan's new hair style. And I guess it isn't quite all over yet. Though I'm not expecting a Season 2 any time soon (If ever). Alphard is still alive :). During that train scene for some reason I wanted Canaan to just give her a hug, lol. That was intense with shooting her own arm off...my jaw was hanging open. Pure win, 8/10. Oh, what was Canaan eating? *Bang* |
| ಠ_ಠ At first when Alphard supposidly died i was going to give this anime a 6. But now it get's a 7. Too think this anime was gonna get a 10. Shit ending. |
| lol @ img bbcode not working, mal is such a great site |
| classic battle on top of a train. i'm not sure what to rate this. maybe 8. |
 |
| I don't think alphard died you can see her in the scene in the airport:P if alphard died i would give this anime a 6. but nuup she's alive 7. The anime was okay i guess. Hope there will be a second season. |
| LET JUSTICE BE DONE; THOUGH THE HEAVENS MAY FALL |
Plate said: That wasn't very sugoi at all. Qft Aside from the fight scenes, this show was below average. 6/10 |
 Felli disapproves of this thread. |
| Decent ending, Cummings being alive as a monk was a pleasant surprise and the taxi driver had his final cameo as well. Overall it was good, but it gets an extra +1 for the consistent animation and fight scenes. The story was average. |
 |
| Alphard has mad skills to survive that fall im so happy shes alive!! :D but that whole bomb exploding plot was a fail. Cummings justs makes everything so much better, i couldn't beilieve he was alive !! Ending was great specialy about Canaan's new target "The one-armed woman" just kinda dissapointed about Canaan and Maria not reuniting at the end ;_ ; Overall i loved this series so i give it a 10/10 <3 :D |
| Terrible ending. Not only did Maria not die, but NONE of the four (Maria/Canaan/Alphard/Yun Yun) died. Not to mention that they didn't explain anything why Alphard killed Siam. That's kind of important isn't it? Well, they totally failed on that part. The ending was awful. The show "died" after Santana died. 7/10 only for the awesomeness of Santana/Hakko |
| FUCK YEAH MONK CUMMINGS AND TAXI DRIVER! |

| Maybe not perfect but very enjoyable series. I give it 8/10 and look forward for continuation. |
Megiddo said: Not to mention that they didn't explain anything why Alphard killed Siam. That's kind of important isn't it? Well, they totally failed on that part. Agreed, I thought that they would explain that part @ least. And that whole "You're heart is dying" "Quit dying" reminded me of that horrible Soul Eater ending. Overall the fighting was great but the story was lacking. The ending could have been much better but glad that Alphard didn't die and surprised to see Cummings the monk. And Maria's ending monologue proved how annoying of a character she was to me. Overall, 7/10 |
| So, Canaan ended. I have to say that I enjoyed the series. The fighting was awesome, I liked the characters (yes, even Maria). But still, it felt a little bit ... uncompleted? I mean, what about Siam and him getting killed? Whats now with Alphard? And what about the ending - will they meet again? And some other stuff I dont remember... It was enjoyable, so 8/10 Will there be a second series? Or is it really over? |
Animanis said: Will there be a second series? Or is it really over? I think they left it open like that for a possibility of another season. There could be and could not, all depends on how well the show did in Japan. Since the 428 game got a perfect score, there could be enough fanism for Canaan to get a second season in the works. So that gives a little hope. I'm honestly all for another round of it as long as it's a bit improved on. |

| Garbage. Highlights: |
| And so it ends, started off pretty good but as it progressed I felt it lost a lot of its flair sadly, oh well ... =/ |
| Decent 'final' episode. It was a very enjoyable series with great animation quality. Especially the fights were always pure eye candy. Can't wait for the blu-rays. 9/10 |

| Man, Alphard is really persistent. :P Great end though. 9/10 |
De-JaY said: Man, Alphard is really persistent. :P Shooting her arm off when she could have shot Canaan is not "persistent". It's being retarded. |
| I was ... pretty dissapointed .. although my version of the ending envisioned Maria dying and Alphard winning, that obviously wasn't gonna happen .. I like Cummings, but thought it was better for him to die with his 'love' .. Alphard kinda sucked losing like that and wearing the WTF face, but at least she lived .. they also didn't show the fight before Canaan was already mashing Alphard's face in .. I gave it a semi-weak 8, cuz Taxi driver made an appearance + opening song was @ end @ one-armed Alphard is kinda cool .. the first ~2/3-rds of the series has a very strong 9 from me though |
| Well that was a fairly anti-climatic and unimpressive ending ... well I guess I should say that in regards to the first half of the episode; thought the second half/denouement was handled decently. So whatever, a 50/50 break for me on the finale. Figure I'll be giving it a 6. |
| Ending was well done emotionally but tremendously unsatisfying. Especially since my CanaanxMaria ship got epically sunk. Overall an okay series. |

Megiddo said: De-JaY said: Man, Alphard is really persistent. :P Shooting her arm off when she could have shot Canaan is not "persistent". It's being retarded. No, it's being a badass. |
| Lawl, epic garbage, although I would have loved a ending where the Taxi Driver-San explode the shit out of that train with a high tension jump. Piece of shit, I'll give it a 6/10 due to Taxi Driver-Sama. |
| 6/10 The anime was fine until Hakko and her lover (what's his name again?) died -_- I really loved this pairing. And yeah, there are so many things that were not explained ~_~ Great potential, but the producers failed. At least the drawings were damn kickass. |
| I had mixed feelings regarding the ending. I was expecting a typical Bad End in Type-MOON fashion, not a cliff. The biggest unanswered question I have, that may come around in the assumed second season, is the second Canaan that was in the Village That Disappeared. Alphard lit whatever icy substance that was on fire, thus freeing the Canaan clone...thing... from its captivity within. Will this second Canaan be an antagonist in the second season (all this assuming there will be one) that Alphard and Canaan will need to team up against? 5/5 ending. If it ended completely with that opening, it was beautiful. If it ended with a second season in mind, we get another 13 or so episodes of Canaan in the future. |
 |
| I love the ending . It wasnt bad . But I was hoping that Canann & Maria be together. |
  |
| After watching this I felt like saying the show was great, the characters are memorable etc. but I couldn't. It simply didn't "click". Too many unexplained things for my taste. The overall atmosphere was something I liked about this anime. It's different, original and guessing what's gonna happen next was never easy. Last episode had that subtle, reminiscent, "feel-good" note therefore I gave it a 4/5, and rated the anime 7/10. Still, I admit I just did not get the whole thing. If there are people who did, lucky them - me, perhaps only parts of it, mainly the characters' feelings. Motives, the color associations, Canaan-Despair relation...not so much. |

| Great ending for a great show. taxi driver + monk cummings + Alphard being alive = epic win 5/5 for this episode |
 |
| This ending was somewhere between bad and mediocre. Alphard ended up only wanting to kill Canaan out of jealousy, shot herself in the arm, fell a few hundred feet into the ocean and managed to live. Maria lives also, and she and Canaan decide they can't remain beside one another. I'm sorry, but if they were going to have an ending like this, much of the last four or so episodes were totally unnecessary. Alphard is alive, so how is Yun Yun maintaining herself? The whole thing with the US, and virtually every other side plot was left totally unchecked. If it weren't for the good direction (especially the shot of Canaan sitting on the train holding Alphard's arm), I would give it a 5. Maybe later it will drop to a five since the middle of the show wasn't done so spectacularly. 6/10 |
| I'm impressed by the number of clichés in this ending... It was okay though, but yeah, as mentioned by someone, we still don't know why Alphard killed Siam. I was happy to see the Taxi Driver, even if it wasn't one of his sugoi appearences... My favourite scene is when the gun fell from the train into the hand of Alphard : great turn of events. 7/10 |
