SERIES REVIEW: Canaan (2009)
13 Episodes
GENRE: Japanese Action Anime
SUMMARY: Super soldier Canaan protects her beloved Marie from the onslaught of a mysterious dark haired woman and her minions. All the while the ties between Canaan, government secrets, a virus, the mysterious woman, and Marie are slowly revealed. Set in modern times.
REVIEW: The art was awesome in this. It was incredibly similar to Baccano! but I checked and it's not the same studio. However, many of the characters and scenes sometimes remind me of those characters (though not nearly as creative or well pulled off). The story was meh, but not bad. The characters were good but forgettable. The action and art are what make this short series worth a look though. I'd say its a well done average anime with incredible art.
