I thought the ending was well for what it had to work with, but overall, the show kind of shallow. Lots of things got overdramatized and underexplained, and there were a lot of unnecessary parts. Plus the whole "power of friendship" thing in the last fight was really a bone-killer. Minor characters, such as Yunyun and Liang Qi got overdeveloped, while Canaan and Maria got very little for titular characters, and the other photographer had so little that I can't even remember his name.

The animation is beautiful, and the Opening sequence is sex, but the meat of the show doesn't reflect the same quality.
I give a 7/10.

wow Great final ep! I gotta admit watching Maria live was odd especially after EXPECTING her to die last ep-_-
also How Alphard seemed to have lost her cool was like a major turn off for her! The reason she was so damn cool was because of that calmness of her persona *sigh*
I was so wishing for an Alphard "I'll let you live 'cuz I like you" moment!
But all in all Kick but series, cant wait for the movies, and I hope it gets released in english eventually (thinks about dubbing)
We came we saw...we attempted to kick ass, but in the end we failed, and yes, I'm still in pain.

the show felt too 'all over the place' for me. At the end of it im still wondering wtf the story is about, the characters talked a lot, and too much of what they were talking about is just cheesy dialogue that doesn't get enough explanation. Some of the action scenes were great. I give this show a 6.5/10.

oh yeah..............what exactly was Canaan about? What was exactly Alphard's motives? I just realized that I don't really have any clue about the story's plot LOL. I still liked it though. Second season FTW

Very entertaining series. the animation was great and I really liked the characters. I do agree with kireblue that there needed some more explanations, but it was still awesome.

I thougnt the final episode was great. It didn't have too much stuff to wrap up all in one episode, and the ending song was a really nice touch.
CANAAN overall was pretty good: the first and last episode interested me the most.
I lol'd at Cummings in the last episode. XD
