Is it wrong for me to have been wishing that Maria would die the whole episode?

What a lame move by Maria though, I can't even begin to see how this will end.
The fight between Canaan and Alphard was great though; Canaan being weak as ever. <3

I kind of wanted Maria to die and then again I don't.

But CANAAN doesn't feel the same without Liang Qi.

So I'm guessing Cummings is dead since he wasn't in this ep?

Where is the taxi driver anyways?

Cummings death was heavily implied after that door shut as he was screaming. We can safely assume that he chose suicide after he killed the one he loved, besides, the building keeled over.

I could care less about the plot as long as there's a final dosage of high tension in the last episode. Chinese style.

wow, am I the only one who doesn't want Maria to die? Too many have died already, and Canaan has suffered enough I'd say (like getting her ass kicked by Alphard EVERY TIME isn't enough...)(but I still enjoy the fights =.=)

Last ep:
-nothing happen to Yunyun please
-Don't kill off Alphard just because ti's the last episode
-We get to see Taxi Driver and Nene (sp?) one more time
-HIGH TENSION

Maria better be dead next episode.

So pretty much Alphard was jealous that Sian thought more highly of Canaan/Despair instead of her... and so she killed him?

Oh yeah, that definitely fits the relatively rational behavior we've seen from her the rest of this series.

Also, what happened do that dark haired super hacker lady? Or did she die last episode and I not notice?

God, I hope Maria dies. If she does, this series will go from a 6/10 to a 7/10. With Mino most likely not being important to the story anymore, Taxi Driver missing, and all the deaths in the latest episodes, no one I care about is left. Snorevile.

Nope, I'm thinking if Maria dies and Canaan don't at least have one great Yuri kiss or more, then this show will be a complete waste. At least last episode had Hakkō molesting Santana's dead body. You know how certain things can stay stiff even after death. Maria definitely not going to die though. She's Canaan's golden light? The secret to her unlocking her full potential. If they do kill her, I will be a little shocked.

Too much talking and less fighting, but it was somewhat expected. I honestly don't know where all this is going, I'm just hoping the final episode will be filled with HIGH TENSION and HORREE SHIT moments. oh, and please maria, no more of your annoying monologues.

EDIT: So Cummings is officially dead?

Why? WHYYYY!!??? I can't agree. Maria can't DIES. If she dies, what will happen to Canaan?
I'm sad because i did not understand nothing about this episode (Raw -_-'), and now she accepts the shoots on her. Why she did that?
Then.. in the end, i hope that bomb was really false. I don't know what will happen in this next episode. I'm looking forward about it. T_T (cry a lot)* "poor canaan, poor maria" awaa T_T

The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

Great episode, i can't believe Canaan fell for the same trap again... The battle was pretty good too. Since the countdown was at 30 sec remaining at the end of that episode, Canaan will be obliged to use some uber power to save Maria...

Alas, the first ep after Liang's departure...

The way this is shaping up leads me to think there will be no second season. Which is a Good Thing. Better to have a short and sweet series, than one that is overly drawn out and mediocre. All I want now is an ending either utterly tragic or just bittersweet.

This.
They shall not dare to let Alphard die because of one stupid move or bad luck or something similar. That would just be unfitting.

I don't know whether or not the ending will be satisfying, if I will consider the character sufficiently developped or if the script will achieve anything in the end. But there's at least one thing that I am sure, Canaan has by far the best direction out of all the shows released this season, the best angles, the best camera work, the best pacing, etc... Masahiro Ando totally outdid himself and his first work, Sword of the Stranger, with this one, and just for that Canaan is a rare show.

I kind of don't like how this is developing. I mean Maria is so obsessed with Canaan and all those staff that she was saying about her dodn't make any sense.

Is she a lesbian and she's inloved with her? If not then this shit makes no sense. Why is she so obsessed?
For Canaan is logical. She is a freak that had only one man in her life and lost him. After that because of who she is, she was alone and obviously from the moment that she found someone that showed her some affection she loved that person with all her heart. But what is Maria's excuse? That Canaan was awesome? That's lame?
And what is with her behavior of just wanting to be and watch Canaan just because she is so more awesome than her. Personally i'll rather be alone and lame instead of following others like there little dog. I prefer making my own path even if there is no awesomeness in it. What kind of personality is that? "O look i found a cool person, let's follow it everywhere around like a leach and bath at it's awesomeness since i will always be nothing." Sorry but that's pathetic.
I think it will be good if she dies.

By the way, why does Alphard want to fight Canaan so much? She kicks her ass every time, so why did she thinks that Canaan is something great.
Doesn't she have anything better to do?
