Canaan is a 13-episode anime television series, conceptualized by Type-Moon co-founders Kinoko Nasu and Takashi Takeuchi, based on the scenario that they created for the Nintendo Wii visual novel 428: Fūsa Sareta Shibuya de, which is noted for being one of the few games to have been awarded a perfect score by games publication Famitsu. The series spawned manga and light novel adaptations.
A sequel to the 428: Fūsa Sareta Shibuya de game, it centers on three women and their connections to one-another and an upcoming anti-terrorism summit in Shanghai, China. One of them is Canaan, a Middle Eastern assassin and mercenary. Another is Alphard, Canaan's rival and also a skilled assassin and mercenary who heads a terrorist organization called Snake. The final girl is Maria Ōsawa, a victim of an attempted biological terrorist attack in the streets of Shibuya two years previous. Their encounters lead to armed interventions between Canaan and Alphard with a deep and tragic history in common.
Broken
in a chrome overdose
Shaking hands in
ever growing ache
Destroyed
a writing on the wall
lights are trembling
shields are crumbling
Abandoned
in a plastic overdose
coloured in grey
perfumes all around
Passing away
in this chrome red overdose
sensorial overload
Absurd pulses of pain
carving holes in the head
Silver, silver overdose
buried, buried deep beneath
this last forgotten, forbidden
