BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG! Words themselves by the great deadpool. Guns are pretty awesome, and with thier developement to the world, probably every modern day action show in history has made use of guns. Animes are no different. Today I review CANAAN, a pretty run of the mill anime that features action with guns, and pretty much everyone shoots each other up that its not really interesting. Luckily, the show has a pretty robust story that backs up its plain style action.
.
The show only has one opening, its mind as judgement from faylan. Didnt know a thing about her at 1st, it was mind as judgement which opened my ears to her songs. Mind as judgement is a great song. 10....9....8....7....6...5...4....3....2....1....OVERDIRVE. Nuff said, its a pretty goddamn solid song.

rating:7.0/10

CANAAN looks like a pretty normal show with nothing special in it, just people shooting each other. I 1st thought this was a darker than black wanabe, with a female protoganist and only instead of the cool ass rope knives she uses just a pistol. The show's action is average to mediocre, though one can only image gun fights to be interesting to a certain degree, so its actually hard to blame anyone for this.
.
The show talks about a young female reporter maria and her partner who went to shanghai for a cover up story. And of course another one of the show's protoganists is canaan, a mercenary working for an unknown employer in shanghai. She also happens to be maria's childhood friend. On her 1st day in the shanghai streets, maria encounters a group of biologically viral infected terrorists who try to attack her. She is later saved by canaan, who eventually manages to fend them off, as canaan has somewhat a power of foresight, which allows her to see colors of emotion to sense attacks. The show later proceeds to figuring out canaan and maria's past, and it later shows an attack by a terrorsit group, whose leader has some sort of grudge against canaan herself,the story is then followed by a strong story of friendship which manages to drag out the whole show itself and make itself look good.
.
While CANAAN might be a pretty plain and ordinary show, a good show of friendship and , impressive plot continue to make it shine. Overall CANAAN is not as ordinary as you think and is pretty much worth a watch.

Peace.
