...Seriously? Is this -really- necessary? At least it won't suck as much as most series-to-film adaptations, since they've got room for -half the series- over the span of three movies, but good lord.

Why half? 4+ episodes can easily be fit into a single movie.

I wonder how this is going to sell. Probably depends on the rest of the quality of the series.

Type Moon is ever-growing in fans it seems.

Yes, although the Type-Moon angle is little more than a marketing ploy to rope in fanboys. There's actually little connection. |

I'm just glad it's a remake and not a sequel. I'd be quite annoyed if the series ended at a cliffhanger just as it was getting really good like with Eden of the East.

So, they strip the credits out of most of the episodes, string them together into three lumps and viola! movies? lol
I like Canaan plenty, but without new content, I'm not likely to be compelled to see these "movies." Cheers, Erica |

Three movies, even at 80 minutes in length, can pretty much show the entire series all over again. What's the point to this? Compilations like this is are stupid annoying.

Yeah at least its not Eden... Though I still don't see why would they remake now ongoing series? |

Well, isn't this like the movie version of TTGL? I'm expecting a hint of minute fresh contents here and there.
I could just wait for the movies to release in few months and avoid cliffhangers. |

Composition movies are compost. I don't get the Japanese's affinity for them. Why watch a (usually inferior) cut up version of a series when you can watch....the series?
Maybe some people might prefer movies as they're preferred form of entertainment? Then a composition film series might work better for them, but I'd rather have a good series personally. |

They're only good if get to see them in an actual theater. Otherwise, why bother, you can just re-watch the episodes that you liked. The only one's that ever worked well were the three Gundam compilations, mostly because of what they cut out, and because they also cleaned up a lot of animation. |

Yeah, but if you were living in Japan you'd probably love that Eden of the East was getting a double-movie finale, because you'd only be waiting a few months to see it. It's only because we watch things via fansubs, where one has to wait for the DVD release, that there would be a huge wait. And guess what? They're not making shows for the downloaders. Anyway... yeah, CANAAN has movie-quality animation, so one wonders why they didn't just make it in three movies to begin with rather than show it on TV first. Remember that in Japan shows have to buy the air time rather than channels buying shows. Running something for 13 episodes on TV seems like an awfully expensive form of advertising. |

Because 270 minutes (3 movies running at 90 minutes theoretically) is a lot less than 325 minutes (13 episodes). $18.98 (1800 yen for a ticket) is a lot less than $60.51 (5800 yen). |

I think you're dead-right on the money issue, but I have to do a nit-picky correct you on your calculations of time. Subtracting opening and ending credits plus previews, an episode of CANAAN runs only about 20:40 on average. Thus 13 episodes is about 270 minutes, precisely the estimate you gave for the movies. Your numbers implied they'd have to cut parts of the series, when in fact the only thing lost in a movie adaptation would be, presumably, the credits and previews. Which again begs the question, why not just do movies in the first place??? |
