Hey guys, I just noticed something. Canaan is DELICIOUSLY F-L-A-T. Now I see her in a new light, besides her mad gun skills, in an...er... silly perverted way, tee hee. No, what am I saying, I cant fall for her flat chest even if its DELICIOUS, I still get my Goddess Liang Qi to worship, GDO Dammit...

Gimme a break - you like or dislike heroine because of how she looks...? How about charisma (e.g. Nagisa from Clannad) or some specific style (e.g. Yuki from Haruhi Suzumiya series, Osaka from Azumanga or konata from Lucky Star)? imo it's much more improtant than heroine's look.

btw it's not topic to talk about such things... ^.-




EDIT
What about you wrote down... I'm ok with it - since it's your opinion - I like it or not, it doesn't even matter. ofc great part of heroines has in addition good look... I just cannot understand people who like or dislike chacters because of their look and how sweet they are... and there are a lot of people like this, just look at K-ON! score -.-

and... you got point here - Kyou and Tomoya were perfect match ;)

I'm joking, if that offends some of you guys, I apologize. Talking of appearance, I watched way too much anime to be able to accept whatever physical appearance they have.

I do like judging character on their charisma though & sorry to say this but all characters you mentioned happened to be the ones I dont like or dont care: Nagisa is too boring IMO, the generic "nice girl" you would expect in a harem serie, Tomoyo & Kyou have way more charisma than her, I think. Yuki is also boring; however, I do like her copycat in Zero no Tsukaima named Tabatha though. Speaking of Azumanga Daioh, Sakaki's shyness is way more charismatic than Osaka IMHO. I dropped Lucky Star after getting enough of their "CHOCOLAT" cones so no comment here.

Um yeah, if you count the fact that the producers litterally translate "Delicious boobs" good then the whole ep is pretty much awsesome.

Thanks, glad you understand my point. BTW, what's "OFC"?

I dont understand either since I'm a silly pervert. But I know 1 thing that sometimes a character's personality makes her more attractive than a much more good looking girl-----> points at True Tears where Aiko is the most attractive IMO when she was not as good looking as the other 2. About K-On, its basically a MOE show that counts on looks so I have nothing to say.

BTW, is your name Blackiris a reference to the game Rune Factory: Frontier? Just curious...

The first episode seemed very good. But this one was simply speaking great. In my opinion, this is going to be the best anime of this summer.

Putting that aside...

Does anyone have the number for that cab corporation in Shanghai?

Another great episode with awesome action and some funny scenes too.
I wonder why there was so much blood in the hotel room?
And what's with the neko onna? :3

Btw: The Sengoku BASARA commercial in the middle of the episode was awesome.

Awesome episode and I like the humor in this series... it's nice because after the first episode I wasn't sure how much there would be but it is nicely balanced out imo.

The cat girl at the end of the episode was interesting... seems like the show will have a reoccurring cat theme.

Not as good as the first episode but still very good.

That taxi driver was one of the most awesome support characters I've ever seen. So ridiculously cool.

But that reporter is a little little bit annoying.

hck yeah... this episode really explained a lil' bit more of the plot that will unfold in the future... and even gave the weird girl Maria Oosawa a plausible reason to really fit into the picture of this, so far, nice, kewl and amazing Anime... Of course we had lots of references this time.... And looks like cats, guns, and idiols will play an interesting role this time... I gotta admit I was bashed with the Neko girl at the end... what does she mean? What's up with her...? Oh so the guys with the big animal heads were infected with a super powerful virus that has a 100% Death rate.... Interesting name by the way... Ua Virus... Sounds kinds like RE to me... but it dun matter...I love the action and everything so far in this anime... Lol pellet gun... those really hurt XD

Nice episode with good action scenes, especially the car chase with that awesome taxi driver with weird music choices, and what the hell is up with that sexy cat lady at the end? ( For those who saw the gg version, what does that Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei clip at the very end mean, is it like a movie or something?)

Heck yeah, I think the taxi dude just made me come thanks to his awsomeness. Godly action sequences as expected of Canaan, other than that still dont give a damn about her & her lesbia...er yuri reporter friend who keeps make me wonder myself if she was not in the wrong show.

Liang swan is still as sexy as ever. IMO, she was like Hosaka in Minami Ke whose mere appearance can make the show FANTASTIC as it already is. Gotta love the way she asks Alphard if she can "torture" her victims & how she abuse Cummings with rubber bullets <33333. Damn that Cummings, get to be her toy, I would like her to torture me too, guess I just found the LUCKY BASTARD of the show.

I also thought the taxi driver was awesome, but it was that old man with the tattoo that stole the show for me. He was so epic jumping all around with guns and knives, it was such a damn shame that he died so early.

I'm just glad I found an anime that -doesn't- have a discussion thread full of arguing over whatever the show is good or not. X3

Also, I'm still curious as to how/if/when they got the taxi cab off the building, anyone have a theory?

Only complaint with the series would've been the amnesia, as I think it's a bit of an excuse in a plot, but I believe Canaan downplays that aspect of it to where I didn't feel too offput by it. The action scenes are incredible, though. I keep getting an Eden of the East/Bourne trilogy vibe from this anime, though, but I love plots like that, so I'm not complaining. ^^~

Lol, that taxi driver is awesome, I wanna him as my personal driver!

Vehicles and weapons pretty detailed and realisticly drawn. I like that.

The old man, well he's a crazy shooter but he could some aim more. Spraying rarely does good.

Well, if my taxi would stuck on a roof, I'd hire a crane (with operators ofc) to get it off.

Extreamly entertaining too say the least. I was really expecting CANAAN to be alot more serious but this ep just changed my perspective in a good and bad way. Good because i enjoyed the mix of comedy and hope the quality of the series doesn't deteriorate, and bad because i thought CANAAN had potential as a great serious/action/drama and I'm disappointed that it won't tern out exactly as I'd hoped. But now that i understand the general feel of how the rest of the series might run I'll be able too enjoy it more.

It's cool that things feel a little clearer this week than last, and the reason was because of another awesome episode. Lots of people kicked ass in this episode, none more than the taxi driver who was singing teen girl idol music while driving the shit out of that taxi. I'm not one who usually goes for the "car chase" scene but that one was enjoyable.

Why is this series only 13 episodes?
