CANAAN episode 10

The most recent installment of CANAAN ultimately appeared to guide this string of episodes in the right direction, including a few interesting meet-ups,  meetings which gain more importance as the tenth episode of this progression unfolds.

As the team gets to the laboratory which was the goal of their destination, Canaan’s wounds present in the last show seem to have let her ability of synaesthesia to come back – Quite unlikely I would say, but just in the nick of time, because the adventurous group (not counting Maria and Yun-Yun, since they still remain at the car) are ambushed by the living dead. Well, the zombies are called Unbloom in this anime’s language, but let’s just get down to the point and call them what they really are: The walking dead.

The entrance of the zombies make Hakko run away, and Santana takes off from the rest of the group as well – These choices take the two directly into the grasp of Liang Qi, who skillfully pits the two of them to battle each other, causing terrible and unfortunate results, which threaten Canaan as well. While we’re on the subject of Canaan, Maria and Yun-Yun’s choice to go on a journey independently from the others results in an astounding finding – an uncovering that seems other groups of people would also be very interested in knowing about.

To be frank, in the initial part of this installment I began to fear CANAAN was putting more on his plate than he could handle and heading off into too many places at once yet again, but fortunately my thoughts were justified as those loose ends were quickly sewn back together rather skillfully by a storyline that appears to know where it’s going now. I’m not in the position to call this the most interesting and riveting anime ever by any means, but it contains the right amount of wonder and excitement to capture my attention enough to watch it until the final episode, and even Canaan is steadily being turned from her initially boring but tough personality into a person all-around more appealing in her own way.
