To me, a harem anime is one where there's usually only one guy, and every girl in the series fawns over him. Whether he returns the affections of one or more of them at any point rarely matters. Which is usually the basic plot of an H-game turned anime, it seems... Although Comic Party was definitely not like that. And so far, neither is Canvas 2. Just an ordinary love triangle. All the other female characters have their own things going on, which is a nice change.
Anyway, back to Canvas 2, I'm even less sure of which way the anime will go, Elis or Kiri. I had been thinking Kiri, because of the early episodes, but episode 13, I'm not sure anymore...
Spoiler:
mainly because the picture Yanagi did, and that Hiroki was working on, was the exact picture that Hiroki paints at the end of the game in the Kiri path:
Which makes me think they're saving this picture for last:
They still have 13 episodes to go. I wonder if they'll resolve Kiri and Hiroki early or...
In the earlier episodes, the acting-superintendent, Kiri, and Elis talked about how great a painter Hiroki was in High School.
There's obviously still a lot left to be told.
Not to mention, the acting-superintendent hasn't really had an episode focusing on her. Usually, shows like this have at least one episode for each character.
