Qi Liang is one of my favorite characters but I can't figure out why she hates Canaan so much. Perhaps jealousy. Perhaps something not revealed. Also evidently she is not Alphard's blood sister since dude at party said Alphard is an only child.

I think it's jealousy, too. You can see how upset she gets when Alphard is not paying attention to her. I guess there are still some things not revealed, we don't know much about Liang Qi yet. I didn't think Alphard and Liang Qi were sisters, either (but, the dress-up at the party seemed kind of fake to me, so I'm not sure what to make of it).

Anyway, awesome episode. Can't wait for the next!

Does anyone else love Hakko?


Hakko? Who is it ? The multi part-time jobs Chinese gal ?


Hakko is the mute woman.


Oh, I see. I think I'm gonna <3 her IF and ONLY IF the producers decide to pair her up with none other than SANTANA, they just look so sweet together IMO. "I'll show her happiness in bed"- Santana, so badass...

More screen time for Canaan, less for Maria, please.

This.
CANAAN could be of so much more win if it actually was centered around Canaan.
wtf is the fuckn cab driver the highlight of this show so far?
Preview looks like just as little screentime for Canaan as before.

What I want to know is... why does everytime Alphard points her gun, weird sounds from whoever she's pointing it at always follow?

I think I'm officially over the animation of the show, because now, all I'm seeing is a story tied together with shoestrings. Canaan's backstory was solid, if uninspired, and also gave pretty good insight to Alphard's motivations (i.e. J-E-A-L-O-U-S-Y), but I'm getting tired of the Liang Qi schtick, Yun-yun schtick, and kitty girl (who, despite my fervent hopes, seems to be more than just fanservice).

But I'll take much more Taxi Driver since he's the only source of levity that works in this show.

Can't believe I noticed this but:
In the bathroom scene they kept switching the details on her arm and the hand she held the gun in changed or was drawn wrong lol.

The feelings make weak Canaan... She will sacrifice the power that she have in the way of the feelings, she want friends, she want be a "normal" girl... She want stop, but she have a big problem above she...


Very emotive episode... Without words...

This episode was stunning and interesting, and I loved the visuals so far. In addition, the action scenes was great, and the bathroom fight was pure awesome. I can tell you that Alphard fully hates Canaan for a good reason, and I found out Alphard’s connection to Canaan and Siam after I watched Canaan’s past. I assume that Liang Qi loathes Canaan because of her sister changed into a different person. Alphard wears dazzling dress, and she looks beautiful but dangerous. Oh, young Canaan is so cute.

In an episode filled with various emotions, we get to know Canaan's backstory and the motive behind her hatred for Alphard. The episode shows, in a great way, the emotions of the characters, mainly Canaan and Maria, but also Alphard's sister and the man sleeping with the green-haired mute.

Every following episode gives us a little more info, but also raises more questions, which keeps the show at a good pace and interesting to watch.

So far, definitely the best episode, as it has everything it needs, with some good action scenes towards the end and a nice cliffhanger.

The reporter couple is the only thing that bothers me sometimes, ruining the atmosphere of the series with moe chit-chat and such, especially Maria. Someone pointed this out before, this just doesn't belong here, no matter how important Maria may be to the plotline.

So Siam trained both Alphrad and Canaan and Alphard killed him for some reason

STill don't know what's up with the hostess girl probably working for some other organization or something.

Best episode so far. I'm really enjoying this anime. It especially excels in the art and animation department with its detailed backgrounds and fluid action. This episode proved how good it can be with that scene of the papers.

The flashbacks were great. I don't know why but I always love info about the characters' past. I still don't get everything that's going on though...

I'm so glad I sat through the previous three episodes despite their dullness. THIS is what I expected when I started watching this!

It was nice to finally get Canaan's backstory, and I loved Cannan's and Alphard's interaction in the bathroom; hopefully there'll be more of those. I don't really like Canaan's hair though, it's a little too square if you ask me.

Also, Maria is too naive and happy-go-lucky for my taste...
