I will not be responsible for whatever you read after the picture.

Ok. I managed to finish off the last 4 episodes of Canvas2. So let’s see, Hiroki ends up with Elis at the end, starts to paint again, goes all the way with her finally, all in the romantic city of Paris, where passions and art run high. As for the rest, Kiri-san is still a teacher, Yanagi is taking up Hiroki’s vacated position, Shouta is progressing at his pottery and Tomoko dies… wait, Tomoko dies?

**WHAT THE ABSOLUTELY FUCKING HELL????!!!!!!!!!!**

Ok, you damn producers, you make develop the show to a Kiri x Hiroki pairing then you *deus ex machina*’s it to a Elis x Hiroki one, with a post-coitus scene included for good measure….. never mind…… But **YOU KILLED OFF TOMOKO?!!!** WHAT THE FUCKING HELL?!!

……… DarkMirage, please take me along to Japan next time. Don’t worry, I bring my own “supplies” of course.

Up to episode 20 of Canvas2 already. I think if I had to choose a favourite character in the show, it would be Tomoko, courtesy of her 4TW gothloli outfits. Too bad we don’t get to see too much of it. The utter highlight would be her gosurori swimsuit. Damn, I’d hit it. Hard. /r/ more of her gosurori outfits.

But watching Canvas2 up to this point now, I realise that earlier comments have been correct. It is kinda… no, actually, extremely irritating seeing Hiroki and Kiri’s relationship development. As correctly put, those two are really acting a like a pair of *shogakusei*. God damned it, Hiroki, accept her already!!! It’s so annoying to watch you keep on rejecting her.

Yet, still, I do understand his feelings a little. Inferiority complex is way in his mind I guess, considering the circumstances. I’ve… arguably experienced that so I get what he is at. I just pity Kiri for having to take the initiative.

4 more episodes to go. Wow, I sure watch things fast.

For no reason, I picked up Canvas2 to watch after finishing off Banner of the Stars. Only 4 episodes in, but I’m finding it especially enjoyable. I had initially shrugged it off as generic harem when it was aired since a certain red-haired loli and white devil was my focus that time, but I myself proven wrong now and it’s more of a romance harem instead.

What I like about it is most probably that none of the characters for now are being portrayed as perfect, as everyone has their own problems which comes into play as the main focus of the stories as they deal with it with the help of one another, for instance Hiroki going for a date with Hagino to help her in her novel writing and Elis advising Misaki to give her confidence.

The humour of the series is also very nicely done in and aren’t 95% fanservice humour, typical of harem animes. Instead, the element of moé comes into play a lot here, most notably in the episode previews done by Elis and Hiroki who discuss about the *moé zokusei* of characters in focus the next episode. I’m actually spending time to watch the previews, of which I rarely ever do when I marathon series.

Looking forward for the rest of the storyline for now. I haven’t picked a favourite yet, as everyone is kinda appealing in their own manner. For those who’ve watched, no spoilers plz :).
