Lol That taxi driver is probably my favorite character at this point. Too bad he probably won't be in anymore episodes. D=

I like how they mixed the comedy with the action. That car chase just made me literally lol.


Indeed - epic character ^^

Awesome episode, <3 Canaan the old guy got completely owned :3
The first scene with Alphard and Qi Ling was also completely badass though.

And as others have said, the taxi driver is just awesome. I cracked up when he and Maria started to sing that Idol song.

OMG!
Such an awesome mix of action, complex plot and comedy.
Other than the fight between the old man and Canaan and the awesome high speed karaoke taxi drive, Minoru literally droolling over the huge "meat buns" was hilarious.
If they have more eps like this, I will seriously consider looking up new words on a thesaurus to replace the word "awesome".

Crazy action, gta style anime. xD

That was an entertaining episode. I'm glad the waitress girl doesn't actually have those monster boobs. Makes her only more awesome. Hope we get to see more of her.

That's it PA Works and Ando-san, show them how a "girls with guns" show is done ! The direction and animation are just one or two levels above anything that has ever been done in a TV series (except for Higashi no Eden of course), even if the script is messy as Hell. A fantastic action show for sure.

Considering that this series has nothing to do with the well-known Naru-verse, this is pretty awesome!! CANAAN is currently my favorite series of this season.

Great.
These guys managed to delude me that I was finally going to see a serious spy/action anime with an interesting female lead for a grand total of... 30 minutes.
Then, at five minutes into the second episode, we start getting jokes that wouldn't look out of place in Transformers and a cab driver with a camouflaged Lagann.
All intermixed with the serious action scenes.

I still can't really believe this.
Am I supposed to empathize with the journalist (who quite sensibly says "are you all out of your damn mind?" like every 2 minutes) like Haruhi viewers should empathize with Nagato in the Endless Eight?

Ridiculous....

I really liked this episode. That old man firing his machine gun off is crazy xD The action scenes are just...amazing. Normally I don't usually go for the whole 'gun type' anime, but this is something different. It sort of reminds me of Ga Rei Zero in a way, but this is more epic.

The male photographer is lame. Maria is awesome. The taxi driver was the best character in the episode.

Why didn't the old man with the Uzi bleed to death? No sunlight? Wasn't is dark for the other guy in ep 1?

I really, really like Canaan and the leader of the snakes. If they worked together they could definitely be a force to be reckoned with. I'm interested to find out why they're so interested in killing each other and how this virus comes into play.

SO FUCKING BADASS.
This anime has great potential, I just love the art and the animation. Canaan is amazing, she's so beautiful and she's flat. I'm tired of badass women always having huge boobs, Canaan has been proving otherwise.

Other than that, the waitress' boobs joke was pulled off well. I loved the taxi driver to death.
Looking forward to episode 3, even though I hate catgirls...

It lacks something? You sure? Of course, it lacks Liang Qi !!!! this show needs more Liang Qi torturing me...er people around her with rubber bullets xDDD

Otherwise, hope more badasses dudes appear soon besides the taxi dude in this ep, Santana & the badass spikey haired guy whom Canaan was stalking in the OP ;) Also, the reporter couple can die any day now, got so tired of their annoyance :(

Oh the bystanders actually noticed the fighting... :O

How the heck was the old man that died the brother to the partner.. their age difference was by so much..


He wasn't, his brother was probably the one that brainwashed the old guy and sent them to Shanghai. Pretty sure the old guy was an important diplomat of some sort though, so we'll probably hear more about him later.

I'm guessing it was the maid and they mistook her for Maria, but idk for sure

Anyone else reminded of Action Man when they see Canaan use here eyes?

waitress/gun booth girl reminds me of female lead from Samurai Champloo, hope we see more of her :)

Maria should never die. :) I think Canaan X Maria go well perfectly. The guy can die but the not girl.

I liked this episode a lot better than the first. That out of the way, here's some speculation: Someone is manufacturing some kind of drug to make normal people gain super senses comparable, but not exactly like those with synesthesia.

I think that's what that scar means, but beyond that, I'm totally clueless about the direction of the show. Fun ride though.

Well, Maria can like, love, obssessed about Canaan all she want but you cant deny the fact that her smexy Yuri love might not be mutual. Just look at how Canaan stalk the tall dude in the OP for about > 4 sec, like she gonna RAEP him at any moment & you will not what I mean ;)

That was an intense episode. Im glad they started to explain some more stuff about Maria. That stuff about her getting infected and then having amnesia was pretty interesting. I'm still confused as fuck about a lot of things though, like who the heck is narrating during certain scenes, like the one where Alphard is hanging from the helicopter. Well I geuss thats reason enough to keep watching

Oh and of course that taxi driver was ridiculus... in a good way of course.

I was just confused about one thing, who did they kill in Maria's hotel room. I mean, whose blood was that?
