Anime Hajime Review: Canaan

***Warning, the following may contain spoilers for Canaan. Reader discretion is advised.***

Series Synopsis


On assignment, two Japanese reporters arrive in Shanghai during a local festival. Minoru Minorikawa (voiced by Kenji Hamada) is hoping to find a story to elevate his career. He's accompanied by rookie camerawoman Maria Osawa (voiced by Yoshino Nanjo).

Minoru runs after a possible lead, leaving Maria to explore the celebrations. Unbeknownst to her, Maria is being followed by an unknown assassin. Maria's saved by a mysterious mercenary named Canaan (voiced by Miyuki Sawashiro).

Canaan and Maria are not strangers. They met a few years prior during one of Maria’s trips to the Middle East. There the two formed a strong relationship and have remained close ever since.

Maria becomes a target of the infamous terrorist organization known as Snake. Canaan vows to protect Maria at all cost as they try to defeat the group. And its leader, Alphard Al Sheya (voiced by Maaya Sakamoto).
