_Canaan_ is a sequel to a bonus scenario from Chunsoft's masterpiece visual novel, _428: Shibuya Scramble_. Aside from some shared characters, plot elements and references, the anime bears little resemblance to _428_'s main scenario. Indeed, some of the returning characters have rather different personalities and seem unaware of events that occurred in _428_. So it's best thought of as somewhat distinct from the main scenario. It has some interesting characters, my favourite being the ever-amusing Yun Yun. Unfortunately, the plot seems a bit all over the place, and characters lack clear motives for their actions. In short, this series has some good points, but I probably wouldn't recommend it to anyone who isn't a fan of _428_ or Nasu Kinoko / Type-Moon.
