Canaan – 05: Funny Girls

snapshot20090804135752

Thankfully the beggar who was faking it wasn’t the end of the parade of laughs, neither was Canaan’s morning sickness after her unforgettable night with Alphard onee-sama…

Yeah this one is sadly late again, but between my brother’s WoW addiction, C Schools, and routing up a memo for international travel I have been over worked though thankfully not terribly underpaid for it all. So after last weeks HAWT Alphard on Canaan action (so HAWT that Canaan had to get over a bit of morning sickness afterwards…) it was time for Super Kanban Musume Yunyun to get her own ep. As characters go I like Yunyun more than Maria, not in the least part because she has a fang which automatically gets her points with THAT blog. After all a fang is a mark of favor from the Patron Goddess of THAT, who has sadly been absent from SHnY as of late… In any case it was more focused on comedy as Yunyun managed to feed Maria fish from a dirty and polluted Yangtze which has hardly improved despite the Green Policies of successive commie governments. The quality of Yunyun’s education speaks for itself, as she has no idea what DNA is…

I take it was casual Friday at the office….

snapshot20090804135807

Finally a Lady who doesn’t totally fail at cooking and gunslinging! I can’t wait to see how Alphard’s pot roast will turn out.

snapshot20090804135812

Oh Alphard-sama you are far too kind in asking…other CEOs wouldn’t even bother asking people.

In any case it seems that Liang Qi has the All Seeing Eye and can track almost everyone and is well aware of Santana and his habits. It seems that Hakkoo was one of Liang Qi’s underlings or perhaps is a sleeper agent who infiltrated her way into Santana’s heart. In any case it seems that Yun Yun and Hakkoo have some history together I assume it is yuri-ific as Hakkoo can communicate with Yun Yun at an unprecedented level as Santana is reduced to paltry magic tricks and Mino-san has to use pastries. Though in the case of Mino I guess the great ancestor of Patrick “the Lucky” Colassour has an under developed musk as Hakkoo isn’t that taken away by him. So poor Yun Yun has to infect some Japanese secretary in order to get more pills and watch Liang Qi-sama bathe. Sadly because Yunyun is only capable of seducing guys like Shin, her superb attempt at spiking the guys drink was all for naught as Hakkoo got all the attention. At least though I think think their very special friendship wins out in the end as Hakkoo did try to reassure Yunyun that size isn’t everything. If nothing else Hakkoo also thinks lovingly of Yunyun while Liang Qi-sama is a cold-hearted mistress.

Yunyun fumbling with a gun was funny. It was good that Maria finally decided to do something and do a yuri rescue of Yunyun who delightfully commented on the situation. Eventually though Yunyun takes a page from Hamas, but ultimately fails for needing a lighter. Still I am surprised Yunyun had 150 sticks of TNT lying around, but even if she failed in killing Canaan she did get to cop a feel. Maria has started her own little yuri harem though at the moment it might as well be the DFC club. Poor Mino gets a bad rap for noticing Yunyun’s ass and ruins Yunyun for marriage in the process. Of all the borners I think Yunyun got the worst deal as she got two appendixes which makes for crap super powers. I am not sure if Yunyun can walk away from the HAWTNESS that is Liang Qi for Maria, but time will tell…

The action was short and almost non existent save for Canaan dodging Yunyun in her Hamas cosplay. I don’t think anyone outside of PA Works has any idea how events will unfold, or what kind of series this will be. However, what action there has been is solid, and at the very least PA Works proved how they can be funny as all hell. I admit freely that there were plenty of laughs to be had as Yunyun is a funny girl. I hope to get a little more of this special friendship between Hakkoo and Yunyun in the future, it would have been five kinds of win if they did a bro-fist for good measure. Liang Qi got a little more development as we at least get to see her scheming in real time. She even sent Cummings to complete the mission after Yunyun failed so at least Laing Qi-sama is a thorough imouto. Next time it seems that Cummings gets hit wit larger airsoft pellets, Liang Qi gets a Vocaloid of herself, and Alphard works her magic on Maria… Like Kabitzin I am hoping that they take the love heals all theme to the MAX and have yuri lurvin be the cure.

All in all I love this series to pieces even if there seems to be a very loose adaptation of the source material. It happened with True Tears so I wager it will happen again.

Liang Qi-sama is an army of one…

snapshot20090804135819

But Liang Qi wants to be a bad girl, Alphard onee-sama…

snapshot20090804135823

Of course not, but Alphard onee-sama does want to defend your maidenly purity.

snapshot20090804135828

No need to exaggerate that much…

snapshot20090804135850

Go on…

snapshot20090804135855

If Liang Qi has one disease, it’d be the love bug.

snapshot20090804135858

Poor Alphard onee-sama, this cold shoulder thing only causes her kawaii imouto to act out. A spanking would just encourage her…maybe it’s time to use carrots instead of sticks. You know like a kiss every time she behaves or does well…

snapshot20090804140107

Liang Qi-sama likes to bathe at least twice a day.

snapshot20090804140110

Yunyun did that on purpose…

snapshot20090804140117

Don’t tell me you paid up front for all of it…

snapshot20090804140128

Maybe it’s just me but I think the animators just love doing musculature…

snapshot20090804140122

Oh dear…

snapshot20090804140130

If only we could see Liang Qi’s cute but scary face…

snapshot20090804140138

Well Yunyun has just seen you naked so I bet it’s some bonus…

snapshot20090804140142

Dinner with Liang Qi and Alphard? Who could say no to that…

snapshot20090804140147

I am surprised Zyl hasn’t jumped on this yet…

snapshot20090804140159

Sounds dangerous…must be high paying then.

snapshot20090804140218

That’s optional right?

snapshot20090804140205

Asking? The only person at this company who asks is Alphard…

snapshot20090804140223

Poor Yunyun, I can see why Alphard onee-sama wishes her kawaii imouto were a bit nicer in dealing with people. Must have taken a while to find a guy like Cummings to attend to Liang Qi…

snapshot20090804140244

Don’t worry Canaan wasn’t too pround of her performance either…

snapshot20090804140259

Just like how you did in Round 2 against Alphard…

snapshot20090804140326

Mister will you give me a job?

snapshot20090804140332

Rude Santana is rude…

snapshot20090804140340

Woah Santana actually has eithcs, or has something against a woman with a DFC.

snapshot20090804140343

Is it true? Can it be? Is that Yunyun Hakkoo sees?

snapshot20090804140344

Hey I know you…

snapshot20090804140346

Oh Yunyun how could you forget?

snapshot20090804140348

Even if you forgot Hakkoo will always remeber you…and your hair.

snapshot20090804140442

Oh charades…

snapshot20090804140446

Such communication skills you have there Hakkoo.

snapshot20090804140454

I think that means that Santana sucks at magic.

snapshot20090804140504

Hakkoo is quite interested in what Yunyun has been up to as of late.

snapshot20090804140507

Look Yunyun there should be no secrets between yuri pals….

snapshot20090804140513

How considerate of Yunyun, much more considerate than Santana…

snapshot20090804140547

She certainly does have her self esteem issuses…

snapshot20090804140519

Translation: But what if that happily ever after includes Yunyun?

snapshot20090804140631

Even if no one else cares Hakkoo wants to see you wear it…

snapshot20090804140623

Hakkoo picked it out herself…

snapshot20090804140639

She knew you’d like it…

snapshot20090804140902

Dude…

snapshot20090804140654

…Liang Qi heard that and you will pay dearly for it.

snapshot20090804140651

The photo is a little gamey, isn’t it?

snapshot20090804140657

Well it’s doing wonders for your complexion.

snapshot20090804140838

Wait how he can be Japanese and not be a lolicon?

snapshot20090804140842

I couldn’t believe my ears either…

snapshot20090804140847

Even if this job sucks you can always steal food…

snapshot20090804140908

I see where Patrick gets his NEVAR GIVE UP attitude…

snapshot20090804141100

Canaan is not amused at your selection of armament…

snapshot20090804141103

Should have gone with a M1911…

snapshot20090804141135

She was just following Liang Qi’s orders…

snapshot20090804141142

I knew you were interested in Alphard onee-sama…

snapshot20090804141145

You shall meet Alphard onee-sama soon enough…

snapshot20090804141149

But seriously how could you not know of Prince Alphard of Kurdistan?

snapshot20090804141159

My aren’t we touchy feely…

snapshot20090804141203

Hmmm…must be their first time…

snapshot20090804141213

The truth hurts…

snapshot20090804141300

and not a fan of a DFC…Liang Qi-sama you miscalculated…

snapshot20090804141305

Ummm wasn’t it the other way around…

snapshot20090804141307

Liang Qi’s gaze pierces earth, cloud, shadow, and flesh…

snapshot20090804141345

Wow that is the first time some one has mentioned high quality in regards to Maria…

snapshot20090804141428

I wonder what her mission was…

snapshot20090804141501

Well if this is going to be how it is Mino-san might as well ask to get your money’s worth…

snapshot20090804141556

Some one should tell her she has the wrong cosplay on…

snapshot20090804141603

Yeah I can’t believe Yunyun doesn’t use a Zippo either…

snapshot20090804141605

You rang…

snapshot20090804141627

Damn no back flipping hatchet attack?

snapshot20090804141632

Canaan just realized that Yunyun was in a bunny girl outfit…

snapshot20090804141648

Just hold on a bit longer there Yunyun…

snapshot20090804141725

Wow it’s nice and firm…

snapshot20090804141656

Dude was she grabbing your ass?

snapshot20090804141825

Such a sweet smile…

snapshot20090804141907

Oddly enough shouting FIRE ellicits a greater response…

snapshot20090804141911

Maria thought Yunyun was referring to her…

snapshot20090804141915

Maria calls first dibbs…

snapshot20090804141918

The only lolicon Maria will suffer is herself…

snapshot20090804141926

Oh yeah Mino is an ass man too…

snapshot20090804141927

That’s some tramp stamp…it’s not even in the right place…

snapshot20090804141931

At the very least it’s easier to hide…

snapshot20090804142008

Ouch…well she can hold down more jobs than the average lass in anime land.

snapshot20090804142010

Wow I guess Yunyun does have it tough, a virus that can make any one a lethal weapon and all she gets is two expensive operations come bursting time…

snapshot20090804142016

I suppose not…you  don’t even get to count it as a medical condition either…

snapshot20090804142058

Canaan likes Yunyun too…

snapshot20090804142111

Man even Yunyun has a pronounced collarbone…

snapshot20090804142149

Let the SPICE FLOW!

snapshot20090804142207

Which will it be, Yunyun? Loyalty to Maria, or loyalty to me? Your new girlfriend, or your old mentor? The mission, or your beliefs? Your duty to your unit, or your personal feelings? You don’t know the truth yet. But sooner or later you’ll have to choose…-Liang Qi

snapshot20090804142645

Oh shit some one is going to die…

snapshot20090804142647

I see Liang Qi-sama will be getting a new airsoft gun…

snapshot20090804142649

Worry not Mino-san your descendants like Patrick will have better luck with women…though I can see where some of them get such good taste.

snapshot20090804142651

Alphard is about to initiate a hostile take over of Maria’s harem…

snapshot20090804142657

I see Liang Qi-sama is also a fan of Trigun

    Great summary to a great anime (not to sure about the movie deals though).
    Anyways, I was just wondering why your images don’t show up in Google Reader. Is hotlinking disabled or something? I would love to see pictures from this blog in my Reader :)

    i love this show. i’ve got no goddamn idea what’s going on but it’s just too cool for me to care.

    I’m glad you have the same sense of humor as me, THAT is why I love this blog. Hahahahahaha………

    I laughed for way to long after the “Love and Peace” part of the episode, who isn’t a fan of Trigun?

    I would like to know how old Liang Qi is, considering she’s a phone call away from acting as a hobbit.

  4. Posted August 5, 2009 at 5:28 am | Permalink

    I was hoping that one of those grunts would volunteer just to see Liang flip out at someone trying to steal an assignment away from her. Alphard looking at Liang volunteer reminded me of the movie election, where the one teacher’s pet always volunteers and the teacher keeps hoping someone else will raise his/her hand.

  5. Posted August 5, 2009 at 8:46 am | Permalink

    Actually I was a little disappointed that Liang Qi didn’t even attempt to fondle Yunyun. Or that Cummings didn’t get pelleted.

    My reaction to the volunteer scene was of all the other goons taking a step back in unison, causing Liang Qi to ‘step forward’.

    @Christopher
    Hotlinking is disabled mostly because the webmaster wishes it so.

    @anonymous bastard
    Indeed all i require from it is yuri and action, everything else is just a bonus.

    @Adrian
    I’d assume she’s younger than Alphard… in any case age is irrelevant in her case it would hardly make her less hawt if she were 60.

    @Kabitzin
    I assume Liang Qi has put the fear of airsoft in all of them…it’s not a good idea to take on the CEO’s family and certainly I think most men would want to stay on Liang Qi’s good side.

    @Zyl
    I am sure Liang Qi-sama will make up for it, after all she did take a bath again…so it wasn’t all bad.

  7. Posted August 5, 2009 at 9:17 pm | Permalink

    Why hasn’t anyone asked:

    Why is Liang Qi always bathing?
    What is she doing that gets her so dirty/sweaty?
    Who is making sure her skin stays moisturized after all that bathing?

  8. Posted August 5, 2009 at 9:26 pm | Permalink

    Lol love the captions. This show has so much implied yuri potential.

    @Kabitzin
    No one in their right mind would try to steal an assignment from Liang Qi.

  9. Posted August 5, 2009 at 9:49 pm | Permalink

    @Kabitzin
    Liang Qi-sama bathes regularly as being near Alphard onee-sama gets her super HAWT and sweaty. I’d assume that Liang Qi makes every effort to make herself presentable to the mighty Alphard, the results speaks for themselves.

    @TJ
    Thanks Canaan will probably be my favorite non-mecha show of the season.

    I have an impression that to Alphard, Liang Qi is just an expendable item, like a walking psychotic cruise missile with a penchant for S&M and airsoft terror, or a one shot anti-tank weapon. Yeah, she doesn’t want Liang Qi in on her op, but probably because she is being kept in reserve. Or maybe that she knows that Liang Qi is obsessed with killing Canaan and would screw up the op.

    Yunyun is WORST VILLAIN EVAR… good thing this part time job didn’t last very long, although she might not have a choice. Both Yunyun and Noto-catgirl seem to be from the same village (survivors?)

    @Kabitzin and Crusader: Liang Qi is the Hosaka of this season, all signs point to it (the casual nudity, the sweating, etc.) We have yet to enter her onee-con and foe-yay imaginings…

  11. Posted August 6, 2009 at 10:26 pm | Permalink

    @Kherubim
    Maybe it was because Alphard wanted to get some use out of the other guys in the room? In any case I suspect that while Alphard loves her kawaii imouto, Alphard’s boundless love is far too much for one woman. I doubt it had anything to do with questions about getting the job done since Liang Qi did accomplish the rescue of Alphard onee-sama and did infect that Japanese dude. Perhaps it could have been as simple as Alphard wanted to bake cookies with Liang Qi that day…

    I’d say Liang Qi is more like Kanako as the culinary skills have yet to be shown.

  12. Posted August 7, 2009 at 12:01 am | Permalink

    Technically… Cummings did all the work. =3

    I could still go for a Liang spice song, though.

  13. Posted August 7, 2009 at 9:16 am | Permalink

    Liang Qi sent Cummings to do the work that’s what supervisors do… As ususual Cummings gave proper credit to Liang Qi for coming up with the idea.
