Canary

This will be a quick review.

To sum up Canary in a few words, it is like if Beck and K-on combined themselves and took the best parts out of them and crumbled the best they could with those parts into a 26 minute OVA. But the fun part is that Canary is older than those 2.

This is another promotional OVA for a Visual Novel nobody has heard ever in their life and it's boring, but not horrible.

One of their best and only good points it's the music, it ok to listen and it is really catchy. It has some pop rock tunes that are ... quite good. But then everything else is just a big meh.

First of all the story doesn't make cohesive sense. The only thing that you get is a vague explanation that the leader of this school band leaves but their members agree to make a really outrageous and crazy plan to bring him back. They sort some traps and hypnotism and all of this because some members did a bet with the person that is charge of the public events in their town. Then everything else is just wacky things going on, but it is not the wackyness that excites you, it is the one that let's you with a "uh what did just happened?" and it's simple as that.

The art is very standard for the time it was made. But it is not that impressive at all. It is the typical transition in animation that you could see from anime of that era like Onegai Teacher or DearS. The good thing about the animation is that when they set traps they used a 3D model program to simulate the city and it's freaking amazing how well that looked. It seemed that the budget was spent on that. It may look outdated but it doesn't look hideous like many shows try to do during the early 2000s when they started introducing CGI.

That's all I can say about this. It is bland, boring and very dry. Just the music it is ok but everything is forgetable. Not the best anime but not the worst cause I have seen worst than this. It deserves a low score? yes To be that low to be one of the worst animes this site claims to have? No

Well this is eveything for this review. Thanks for your time and reading it. Take care in whatever you do and see you around.

Canary tells a pretty simple slice-of-life story about a band trying to get back together and make it to the upcoming festival concert. It's not a very complex tale, but despite that, it's a bit hard to follow at points. However, some of the scenes are presented pretty decently, and it has some alright moments here and there.

The real problem I have with it are the characters, though... as they're just entirely bland and uninteresting. It makes it difficult to care about the story at all, especially one as simple as we have here.

The animation is passable, but it's bogged down by the crummy ... artstyle, which is detailed, but has some pretty terrible moe character designs.

As for audio, I liked the soundtrack, which is to be expected in an anime about a band. However, I watched it in Japanese, and the voice actors were not great. They weren't terrible, but a lot of the voices were pretty standard, annoying-sounding high-pitched girls.

Overall, there really isn't much of any merit here, but it's also not incredibly bad. It seems like it's a decently made anime, but everything about it's characters and overall style really didn't appeal to me at all.
