Apparently someone misinterpreted an announcement that the series would be screened in theatres (not that uncommon) as confirmation of a series of movies. I love the late 2000s anime fandom.


* {{Vaporware}}: The announced three theatrical releases have yet to appear. The revamped website does not advertise the supposed movies, which confirms the trope.

* FoeYay: Alphard does like pinning Canaan down a lot, and isn't particularly in a hurry to kill her, which makes Liang Qi [[MurderTheHypotenuse quite jealous]].

** HIGH TENSION!: the badass taxi driver after his apparent Catchphrase.
*** Some fans call him "Taxi Driver George" due to his awesomeness multiplied by a few times thanks to Creator/JojiNakata voicing him, who's also known as '''George.'''

Let us be honest, Phonecians did NOT "invent" the alphabet.


** Before even that, "Canaan" referred to Phoenicians (you can even hear the phonetic similarity) in their own language. Phoenicians were the supreme mariners and traders of their time and founded Carthage, TheRival and WorthyOpponent to AncientRome. They also invented the alphabet.
