That’s a new excuse…
What a silly episode it was this week, though I suppose that Cosplay Santana will have a special place in the collective memories of those who saw and were overawed… Surely such an odd establishment is a rarity in this season. I suppose Hakko really is a lost little kitten, and I am sure that Mino is in a somewhat envious position. While old man badass and his younger brother were not long for the world at least we know now that they were UA tested and got to become BROKEN as a result, I think that similar result could have been achieved if they were introduced to Mako-cakes but there is more than one way to skin a cat. Speaking of cats it seems Hakko has taken a liking to Mino and revealed to him her HOPES AND DREAMS, certainly that came out of nowhere, but I doubt there are many who would complain.
The waitress seems to for now be some sort of spy as Canaan brow beat Mino into bank rolling their yuri dayto, which was to be their last as Maria showed off the color of rejection. What action there was remained fairly solid though much more time was spent at Cosplay Santana than shooting of little jihad-kuns. Nevertheless this is wonderful news as now Alphard onee-sama is still in Canaan’s heart (this bodes well for my OTP) as they share a mark of fate as they have matching tattoos. Sadly while it seems that Alphard has been loyal, and prevented her star struck imouto Liang Qi from getting into a fight with Canaan, the same cannot be said for Canaan. It was unfortunate that Canaan decided to cheat on Alphard with Maria who is shallow and super boring though I suspect that after Alphard grows an ahoge that Canaan will feel the love again. At least Alphard had the foresight to provide Laing Qi with ample airsoft ammunition. Next time though the lovely Alphard and her adoring imouto are going to a high class party, from what we have seen I think Alphard looks as lovely in a dress as she does with a gun. Still what did Maria think Canaan used her gun for? This isn’t exactly Canaan’s first use of deadly force…
Calawain’s Commentary
Have some nekko-mimi meido to soothe your sould after that comrade…
If I hear that blonde bimbo say “sugoi!” one more time I’ll fucking kill someone. I found her somewhat annoying previously, but man this episode sent it over the top. She has such a grating voice, and is way too happy for a dark show like this. I hope Canaan ignores her forever, although I know that won’t be the case.
For all that supposed planning and an attempt to get revenge, the little kid’s plan fell pretty flat on its face. All he got out of it was gunshots to the belly, and a swift death. I cheered partly because I got tired of hearing Junko Minagawa’s voice. Here’s hoping we get more action and less dates with irritating females next week. I’d certainly like to see Alphard and Canaan go at it, but they would probably save something that awesome for much later in the series for a greater impact.
Screen Caps
Anyone but you…and Mino isn’t alone in doing that.
OH SHIT SOMEONE IS PLAYING SRW!
If you want I can get a dude here to pur your drink.
DUDE she sparkles too…
LOL WUT?
I see Mino-san is batting for the other team…
I bet that tatoo artist is making huge bank with this fad…
No but your rival Liang Qi did…
Her jealousy is indeed great…
Oh Liang Qi you know Alphard isn’t a one woman kind of gal…
Alphard wants her yuri palace to be perfect…
At least Alphard’s gift to Liang Qi was more useful than a tattoo.
10.0
For better or for worse this happy time for these two has come to an end…
Remember that going outside to play? I like Canaan for being so old fashioned.
A former WoW addict I see…
That’s a cool room you got there Canaan.
It is a mark of destiny…
Those were some great times you had with Alphard, I hope to hear about them soon.
Alphard will love you always…
Alphard onee-sama is indeed all those things.
Let the TRUTH ROAM FREE!
Well if you must know…
…it’s your proximity to her.
Gentlemen I think we have just discovered the perfect Hakko bait.
Best IDEA EVAR, sadly it was only a mockup…
AND HOW!
Die Jihad-kun DIE!
I told you that Maria was a shallow bint. We all know that Alphard onee-sama is your one and only…
True Tears of course, certainly she does look beautiful in that. My Alphard onee-sama is all grown up now…

Wow, Canaan had mortar shells or something in her room back then, and yet she couldn’t afford an new/uncracked cup. I’m just surprised she doesn’t drink out of a canteen all the time.
Would have been hilarious if the deactivator was a suppository instead of something you swallow.
Well, I just dropped this show. It was making me feel bad…
I’m starting to enjoy this show, doesn’t seem too bad.
Liang Qi is hilarious, seriously.
It didn’t seem so much like a plan for revenge as a plan to be with his brother. Why else would he try and lure someone he KNOWS can kill him easily into a trap where there’s no danger to the hostage?
Canaan uses COPPER WIRE for cat’s cradle!!! How strong are her teeth?
Cummings is really an M-man, he doesn’t get excited until he gets shot by Liang Qi more than once, also looks like nikuman waitress is somehow linked to the old man and the boy.
There seems to be two different styles of character design, one of them is the TYPE-MOON version we all know and love, the other is very similar to True Tears.
More flashbacks next week? Is this the legendary Boss???
I am loving this anime alot. I about died laughing when that little thing popped out of the top of the mackshift bomb… I think it was a brilliant set up, but i am wondering if the kid actually wanted to die or not, i am not sure. He seemed to be a tactical person, i am wondering what his percentages were of surviving. Was he actually trying to survive, and just play a cruel trick. I think he hit two birds with one stone there, die because he has no one left after his brother died and try to hurt Canann like he got hurt, loosing a loved one..
For anyone who is looking, you can direct download the full series of Canaan including episode 3 at
(Please don’t post links like that in the future, there is a proper place for them)
I hope this helps
“Still what did Maria think Canaan used her gun for? This isn’t exactly Canaan’s first use of deadly force…”
It probably was in close proximity to her. Or maybe it reminded her of really bad times.
“She has such a grating voice, and is way too happy for a dark show like this. ”
So serious this sounds. I don’t mind the voice at all. :3
nothing the green shirt kid did made any sense at all in this episode. And Canaan’s haXX0r eyes are just… too haXX0r.
@Kabitzin
Indeed then the little Jihad-kun could have gotten a new asshole out of the deal. I think Canaan is a weapons otaku and a /k/ommando. She spends more mony on her hobby than anything else.
@animekritik
I don’t get your meaning. It’s not that depressing to me anyway….
@Myu
Indeed even if Liang Qi is definitely yandere for Alphard her love of airsoft makes her seem almost harmless.
@Omisyth
I think the goal was to break up Canaan and Maria, in that regard the little Jihad-kun succeeded marvelously…
@Kherubim
It might well be another lady of war in her image, though I think that only an Inoue Kikuko can truley be in the Boss’ image. Still I think that it would be good to hear Dark Haruhi Fujioka as she founds a new yuri themed Host Club…
@Matt
I think it was a cruel trick to make Canaan friendless again.
@TheBigN
In any case Maria is a sheltered little girl who is about to feel the heavy hand of reality…
@TJ
Typical TYPE-MOON fare as it were, still one can always hope that fights between the Big Three (Canaan, Alphard, and Liang Qi) will be well worth the watch. After all the narrator said Alphard could be invincible if she did it for herself…
@ TheBigN
Well, that’s how it is. I know what a gun is supposed to be used for but if I see someone shot right in front of me and was that bloody, I think I will probably be stunned. Certain things even if you know what happens, when it happens you won’t be exactly ready.
I know, and I noticed that I forgot some words. I was saying that it probably was the first time for Maria to see Canaan use firearms in that close of a proximity to her. And that she was proven wrong by the person Canaan killed probably didn’t help a bit either.
