Hakkoo: Noto Mamiko

Santana: Hirata Hiroaki
Cummings: ?
Nene: ?

Alphard (Alpha Hydrae) is the brightest star in the the constellation Hydra, marking the heart of the snake.

Alphard in the CANAAN anime is a big boss of the Snake criminal organization. She is Canaan's nemesis.

A Japanese anime fan wondered if Alphard is the first villain played by Sakamoto Maaya. I recall that she did voice the villain in the .hack//Legend of the Twilight anime, Morte.

On the other hand, Liang Qi appears to be another one of the ever expanding line of villains played by Tanaka Rie. Liang Qi is a member of the Snake crime syndicate, she worships Alphard, and she intensely dislikes Canaan.

Yunyun has an inferiority complex about her small breasts.

Hakkoo looks like another quiet, softspoken Noto Mamiko character..

Hopefully it will make sense to those of us who have not played the VN.

We can just think " 2 women want to kill each other." and we'll get by.

I've scanned my Type-Moon Ace vol.2. Many pictures of the chara-design :

Is there something wrong with the chinese outfit girl's breast?

A bunch of small breast girls? I guess I'm sold, lolz.

Spoiler for space:

Oh shit, Canaan's eyes can turn red?

[Snooker]

I imagine she's going to use her Shiki voice for Alphard.

BTW, am I the only one that's reminded of Revy when seeing Alphard?

[Chrono Helix]

No, you're not.

CANAAN is slated to debut in Japan this summer.

Excellent news

BTW, I found the Comiket commercial Blue-kun was talking about earlier in the thread. I don’t think it was posted so here it is:

Song is Arousing Soul (not sure of artist name)

[Westlo]

Thanks for the trailer, looking good!

[Shiroth]

I seen the trailer a while back, though it's good to see again. Love the song, though i'm hoping for a trailer soon that shows the seiyuu's at work. I wanna hear what voice Sawashiro Miyuki is going to use for Canaan --- if it's one we've heard in the past, or something new.

[qmeister]

I'm loving all the character designs, except the dim sum girl...

[Shadow Kira01]

CANAAN... The name reminds me of Xenosaga Episode III's Project Canaan.

The character designs here look good and the seiyuu list is awesome. It's been awhile since Black Lagoon Second Barrage ended airing, maybe its time for an anime of underground battles again!

The artist is Faylan. I think she also sang some insert songs for Ga-rei Zero. But I cannot find any information at all about her.

F/UC for PS2 and PSP, Kanaan, Rakkyo and hopefully at least one of their three (actually two) new projects ... yeap!

By the way are there any news on the remake of Tsukihime and Aoko's VN?

Mahoutsukai no Yoru is coming out in 2009, and it's unknown for Tsukihim Remake and Girl's work. They say "soon" but lord knows when that'll be. OTL

Also, Canaan is shaping up to be quite well, I really hope it's going to be closer to KnK level than, er, others.

Also Girl's Work has the same setting as Tsukihime. Misaki town.
