think this one has potential, but they're juggling some knives that i hope they handle well. the 'upbeat, optimistic pseudo-sister' used to contrast with a 'cold, realistic badass' character is always old mill, but sometimes it works...

the scene where the people are cheering the gunfire and the reporter remarks about them rubbed me the wrong way. i'm interested in this for the gore

[12:12] <masamune> this canaan show feels alright so far...
[12:14] <Yukimura-San> ah i finally remember what else it reminded me of
[12:15] * Quits: ero-jiji (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
[12:15] <Yukimura-San> Blood+ also had that vibe of experimenting on people to create copies of the main chars abilites
[12:18] * Joins: bomchi
[12:18] <Urashima|bot> Hello, bomchi
[12:18] <bomchi> hi
[12:19] <Yukimura-San> masa did you watch the first ep of the when the seagull's cry or whatever it's called?
[12:20] * Joins: heklin
[12:25] <masamune> nope
[12:26] <masamune> you're right. Canaan feels like Blood+ meets Black Lagoon somewhere between Noir-esque and fan-service friendly action jane
[12:27] <masamune> but vampires are sorta played out
[12:27] <Yukimura-San> indeed
[12:27] <masamune> i like to see some play off of modern stuff. even Lagoon dated itself
[12:28] <masamune> and it's fast and when it's not trying to be all emotional, it does some grittiness right. like you can see the RPG (or whatever it was, it was fast) before the Jeep gets hit towards the end of the episode
[12:28] <masamune> plus, gore is just fun
[12:28] <Yukimura-San> lol
[12:29] <Yukimura-San> quite so
[12:29] <masamune> i am STILL having trouble playing mkvs on my crappy lappy
[12:30] <Yukimura-San> it's interesting you brought up vampires, as I was watching it I started to notice assassins have been steadily replacing the role vampires usedto fill in the eye of my inner fan
