Canaan Episode 2 "A Cruel Game"

Summary

And now it's time for the review of the 2nd ep of Canaan. The pacing seems a little bit slow at the beginning but doesn't ruin the atmosphere, this time we see Alphard the Leader of the Snakes escaping from that military force and kick their ass with the help of her sister and the assistant Cummings and after, she goes away from them with an helicopter.

The strange deaths during the first episode were people infected from a lethal and terrible virus called Ua, which cause a intense bleed in the infected body and death: in fact the death rate is 100%. One of the survivors to this virus was Maria Oosawa thanks to an anti-virus crated by her father who was the chairman of a pharmaceutical research lab, but Maria's amnesia made lost her memories about this fact.

In the meantime, Maria and Mino (that man always with her) were eating in a Chinese restaurant but suddenly, a car crashes inside the restaurant: the Snakes have targeted them for reach more easily Canaan. A blue car pursuing the two, luckily a mad taxi driver accept to help them and give a cool ride with a very fast driving and a cute sugary jpop song on the background (High Tension!! I'd like download that song XD!) . And finally come Canaan for fighting that old crazy dude from the Snakes. She defeat him with the use of Synesthesia and he dies electrocuted and scared people see his dead body on the top.

Mino and Maria return in hotel (it was a hotel room?? or anything else?) but their room was full of blood included the little white cat plush, present from Canaan to Maria. What did happen here? After, they are outside that place during that strange night but.... a strange vision caught their attention: a sexy cat girl with light green hair appears with a "meow paw" (omg, i wanna be like her XD!! Kidding XD!).

Impression:

This episode was useful for clear up some of the mysterious things happen during the first episode. The beginnign was pretty slow but after, during the ride and Canaan fight, recatch my attention again, especially the taxi ride and the cute jpop song XD. The fight was decent, but not too awesome and that cat girl at the end was pretty ehm... out of place?? I hope the series will advance better for become a gold anime and not a lame or a tin-pot series. We lie in wait and hope in a good twist next time (maybe that catgirl isn't too out of place in the series, who knows).
