CANAAN Gets 3 Movies

The official website of CANAAN has announced that a 3 movie-version has been green-lit. The 3 movies basically cover the ongoing anime series of 13 episodes. Recaps anyone? ^^;

I haven’t started watching CANAAN… not YET. I just realised that it’s only 13 episodes long, so maybe I should catch it XD. Anyone loving this anime series?
While we are on CANAAN, do preorder Nendoroid Canaan when she’s available for preorder! =P

Do you drink? How much does a can of beer cost in your country? Frankly speaking, I don’t even know the cost of beer here. LOL.
