NeloDeath said: Decent ending I suppose with the fairly "happy" ending. I think the creators tried a bit too hard to make the ending feel like a "full circle" ending though, like Canaan watching the plane leave, Canaan's new target is Alphard, and overall everything is where it should be. Also, I wouldn't object to another season/OVA, but I don't see that happening. 7/10 Well I haven't played the game on which Canaan is based but if it's anything like Fate/stay night, an OVA is more likely to happen that another season. In F/SN (game), "END" represented a sort of a neutral ending, as opposed to "BAD END" or "FIN" as the alternative endings you could get. Episode 13 ended with an "END" (what happened is neither good nor too bad) which means something along the lines of F/SN movie (which is currently in the making and is based upon the UBW route which has a happy ending) could very well happen. Then again, "428" may be an entirely different type of game. |
| Entertaining, epsecially the scene after the credits. |
| OMG great great episode, GREAT series, I fell in love with the anime Canaan even more because of the last episode, I was so so happy to see that Alphard was still alive and Maria and YunYun, Cummings and the taxi driver!! The ending was a little sad to me because Canaan and Maria didnt see each other again BUT Im so hoping for a few special espisodes someday soon!!! omg i cant get over of how much I love Canaan. Im like obssesed with it lol I loved the way Canaan looked with her hair grown and up. I have to admit I was crying lol OH and the action was just AMAZING!!! who agrees with me that Canaan is veryyyy SUGOI!!!!!? :D:D:D:D:D:D:D!! |
 |
| Canaan as a person was great all the time but the ending itself wasn't awsome at all. I can say it was predictable. Only suprise was that the Cumming turned into a monk. And the Cannan hairstyle after subtiltles was kinda cute :) And Maria... She could just die XD |
| this ending was bad.... they didnt even meet in the end.... stupid, i see no logic in that... x_X |
| Absolutely fantastic, one of my favourites of this year ♥ |

And why do you compare a comedy-centered anime with an action, supposed-to-be-serious-business one? They just had nothing to do with each other beside being animated from Japan. That's like comparing a Pikachu and a Mara altogether <_< And seriously speaking, Fight! Ippatsu Juden Chan is a GDODAMN fanservice+comedy anime with poor budget and a not too famous cast but at the very least, it had an average plot as opposed to this anime where 80% of what I see is "TSU-GOI" and Canaan going emo over TSU-GOI and vice-versa despite having a good director, good character designer as well as a good budget as shown through the high quality of frames. But still, no matter how bad it is, they are still better than a bunch of other shows out there that suck so bad that none of the subbers even bother to sub them, so I guess you're right about that ;p |
 If he's not with us, he's AGAINST us!!! |
| Ended way too early, but I am looking forward to another season 2! |
 |
| Most rememberable vacation ever. The only thing i want to know is what happened to the bar now. :/ |
 |
| The ending had salvaged a little slip from the previous few episodes. It was a nice episode, it had a little bit of everything. Nothing particularly spectacular about the ending though. |
| Why does Nasu love the "girl leaves the other protagonist even though she loves that person" ending so much? It's Arc's (and thus ST's anime) ending, Saber (and thus FSN's anime) ending, and now this. If KnK wraps everything up with something similar... ugh. Overall I found this series took itself too seriously, but still it was decent at first and really good by the middle and end. No complaints besides the repetition of that tired concept. |
 |
| aww~ it ended.. yay~ yun yun saved maria. the one who is in the airport is alphard. g.a.w.d. she has only one arm now. woot. cummings became a monk!? xD and i like canaan's hair at the end. :] then natsume calls her that she has a job. "a woman who has one arm" :] its alphard. :] |

| Oh man, that was great! Can't wait for the movie, hooray for the October release date! |
| It's probably just me but I really did not give a shat about Canaan or Maria and wouldn't have minded if they died. I was pretty much rooting for Alphard and whatever the hell her effed up plan was since the beginning. Also didn't really like how the plot revealed to be a "finding yourself" plot, message, or whateverthefux. Pretty anticlimactic. Though I loved that there was water because ALPHARD LIVES! |

| Nice ending |
| Meh, it was a nice series. Glad that Cummings survived. XD |
     |
| Wow .. loads of praise for this mediocre show.. :| It still beats Princess Lover though.. |
| Waw! What a way to screw a good anime! No really, this ending was bullshit, they didn't even bother to go deep into the story. I feel like this was all for nothing afterall, people died for nothing at all! And this whole "live in their heart" is also bullshit. Sorry guys, I hated the two last episodes! This could have been a masterpiece but now it's just some meaningless anime. |

| good start - medicore middle - good end |

| Yeah! Canaan went "haha you're noob" on Alphard xD. Hmm quite a brutal way of cutting off your arm O.o Anyway I think it's pretty sad actually that Alphard decided to die >.> Well... This was.. a pretty dull ending? The only things that was really good about it was the fighting between Canaan and Alphard. Overall, the series was probably somewhere between 7-8, and I'll put an 8 on it, because the first episodes were really good x) Ahahahah Cummings xD... he became a Monk? Out of all things, a Monk?! xD.. Oh.. wait, what's this? Was that... Alphard?: O If it was, I'll go like this ': D' And to finish off with some other detalis, that rifle Canaan was carrying, was quite big xD And a bit more, I think the absolutely last scene before the ending that was actually the opening in the end, the last part of it, showing the pictures of Alphard and Canaan, and having the name Canaan between them, was somehow really good. So, a solid 8 sounds reasonable to me : ) Oh I see, so Alphard was alive : 3 And sure, Canaan was looking pretty good in a ponytail |
| Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile. Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(ﾟДﾟщ) Nope™, probably not. |
| Cummings survived, so about four cuts of this episode were not bad. Which I must say, given the show, is a rather good ratio. |

| The ending is...unexpected yet plain. |
 |
| Gummings is a monk? I bet he is one of those monks that self-whip. His a masochist after all. I have to say am not impressed by the end and generally this last few episodes.At the end Alphard became Liang Qi. I never really got what exactly was Alphard doing and why she was so obsess with Canaan. So many questions left unanswered. Like: Is Yun Yun ever gone have to pay for the watermelon? How does Alphard ties her shoelaces with one hand? How did the Taxi driver managed to get his Taxi down from that building? Will Canaan and Maria realize when they grow a little more that they are lesbians? And at the end, will Minoru find another girl with such a nice ass? |
| So, guys, clue me in: why so much love for Cummings? I don't find him to be an interesting character, other than the fact that he's a masochist. |

You rlly, honestly, sincerely, uper duper sure that you want to know? Okay, here you go: And fact that a bitchpig standing up for its master and rebelled against his new master for the sake of his old master is always something refreshing to enjoy since the golden time of Krauser-sama ;) |
If he's not with us, he's AGAINST us!!! |
| ah too sad that it's over. anyways... did u notice that? the guys at the helicopter shot every window in the goddamn train's right side, and when canaan is holding alphard they're brand new again. that sucked big time... -1 for this ep for a total of 3. So it's 3/5 for me |
 |
| Tsk she didn't die oh well. Anyway what the hell are all the fuss about?! Wow Cummings became a monk well at least he's still alive that's all that matter |
| Taxi driver in the end made it for me. I'm a little disappointed that Alphard didn't die from falling off that massive bridge while moving super fast on a train but I can live with it. All in all though, I really enjoyed this series. |
     |
| beginning of this anime was kind of good and promising i thought, but somewhere in the middle and to an end it got a bit boring and kind of lame, and overall there were too many overdramatical moments and fanservice for my liking anyways, also not too much of a plot either, so i gave this anime 6/10 for action moments, animation, taxi driver and well yun yun.. =T |
  |
| Canaan was certainly a decent anime with some nice action. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The only confusing or surprising thing at the end was the fact that people are confused by the ending. I was going to say that Alphard's despair lacked depth, but getting abandoned and tossed aside isn't really shallow. Obviously Siam meant everything to her since she apparently died inside after killing him. I think the problem was that the anime didn't convey the story and feelings behind her despair that well. I agree with others that said Alphard shot her arm off to remove the snake that symbolized her connection to Siam. Also, I believe Alphard destroyed the other synesthesia user that looked like Canaan. She did go there to erase everything. There still are some elements of the story that weren't explained properly. Too little is known about Siam and his motives and I dislike that Canaan went back to working for Natsume. Edit: I also dislike that the virus was such an obvious plot device. Guess it's just floating around out there ready to be used by some other terrorist group. |

| Awesome. I think that the ending was the best part of the entire anime. I mean it as a compliment, it really was an epic ending. The epilogue was also really nice. And... Canaan + ponytail = win. |
| Epic series, they really made the ending feel emotional! I wonder if a season 2 will be made since Alphard is still alive? Hmmm.... |
| so was yunyun the singer with the pink hair? I dont know y ppl didnt like this anime it was pretty sugoi |
 |
Animedood said: so was yunyun the singer with the pink hair? I dont know y ppl didnt like this anime it was pretty sugoi No she wasn't, that was Nene. And it was unlikeable, but worse than that also bad, because it was a character-driven plot with shallow, badly written characters, leading to an even shallower, badly written plot. Furthermore, illogical, full of holes and absolutely dreadful handling of themes (You can't see what you don't want to see, just watch, this show'll break the willing suspension of disbelief and have people act bizarrely just to make that point as if it hadn't been done to death already!). |

| A decent ending, such a pity for a great show in the beginning. It keeps up great until episode 11, but sadly the last 2 episode goes anti-climax. The battle between Alphard & Canaan didn't feel that great, also that Canaan & Maria didn't met after that is also somewhat a dissapointing conlclusion. At first i tought that Mino would stay in Shanghai and continues Satana's bar, but apparently not. And yeah Alphard is still alive and fuck yeah ponytail Canaan !! This episode : 6.5/10 Overall : 8/10 |
 |
| decent ending, great storyline, even talking to fighting ratio, but it failed in one aspect... i never understood maria's amnesia and whatever the hell did she forget? 9/10 |
 |
| That.Was.Awsome. Totally epic win :D 10/10 |
| Kinda a boring series ... but dont really think its that bad .. decent ending |
     |
| Just finished it given it an 8 although I may change it to a 7. Its been left pretty wide open and a few motives have gone by with no real explanation and has left my finding it hard to sum up. So I'll go with what I can. Artwork = nice, fair decent characters Liang was annoying but everyone else I enjoyed watching, action scenes were top notch although the all to predictable on top of train fight did annoy me a bit. Overall I guess I'm just gonna have to wait for season 2. It no way gripped me but I've got a taste and I'm curious as to where its going, if it does continue with another season that is. |
