Just finished watching Canaan. Although it's not the latest anime I only
now got the chance & the time to watch it. It was a pretty dark,
but emotional anime with really nice normal moments in the sick &
twisted world of the main character. The name of the main character is
the same as the anime "Canaan". It's amazing how Canaan reminds me of
Revy from Black Lagoon but when it comes to the plot it's pretty
different and the emphasis here is more on the emotional struggle of the
main character to hold on to at least one normal thing in her life.
Canaan is an acquired taste anime and for an action loving girl like me
there's a bit too much personal drama involved. Now don't get me wrong,
it is definitely worth watching.
