3	''Magical Canan'' is a 2005 MagicalGirl anime by studio Creator/{{AIC}}. It's based on an eroge ''Magical Kanan'' released in 1998 by Terios as a game and 2000 as a hentai OVA. The story tells of Chihaya Hiiragi, [[OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent an ordinary student]], who one day meets a [[WeaselMascot cute creature]] that has more than its look. The creature is the magical life form with Human shape-shifting ability from the land of Evergreen named Natsuki, coming to earth on a mission to recover [[MacGuffin five stolen "seeds"]] that has a power to manipulate and drive human's desires. Chihaya, who's dragged into this task, is given a power to turn into a MagicalGirlWarrior and starts her quest to recover all the cursed seeds. Unknowingly to the girl, this task is more involved around her than she thinks.

6	!!Tropes included:
7
8	* ACupAngst: Chihaya, as reflected in the curvier form of Carmain.
9	* AdaptationalDyeJob: In the visual novel and OVA Natsuki’s animal form had pink fur and his human form had brown hair, in the anime his animal form had purple fur and his human form had black hair.
10	* AloofAlly: Cerulean Blue and Septem [[DeconstructedTrope deconstruct this trope]] as their aloofness would lead them to defeat, and not included with the main character.
11	* BigDamnHeroes: Cerulean Blue, more than once.
12	* BizarreAlienReproduction: The inhabitants of Evergreen begin life as seeds planted in the ground, the seeds grow into a plant which eventually sprouts a small animal creature, in adolescence they can shift into human form but will regress into animal form if they expend too much energy, and are in human form 24/7 as adults.
13	%%* EarnYourHappyEnding
14	* {{Expy}}: Chihaya/Carmain to [[Manga/CardcaptorSakura Sakura]].
15	* {{Fanservice}}: Expect Chihaya in her bath, showing off her back once in a while.
16	* FauxActionGirl: ''Magical Kanan'' takes the cake. You know Carmain has a big problem with this when she's attacked and pinned down ''as soon as'' she finishes transforming.
17	* InvoluntaryShapeshifter: Evergreen's population born as animals and change to humans when they grow or when they're magically charged. In Natsuru's case, he turns into a human when Chihaya transforms, and subverts this as the story goes since he has gained more and more magic.
18	* LovableSexManiac: Natsuki in the Hentai versions.
19	* LukeIAmYourFather: [[spoiler:Bergamot is Chihaya's father]].
20	%%* MagicalGirl
21	%%** MagicalGirlWarrior
22	* MaleGaze: Chihaya grows up when she transforms and we get close-ups of her breasts and butt expanding.
23	* MentorMascot: Natsuki and Hazuna.
24	* NoblewomansLaugh: Cerulean Blue, complete with the classic hand gesture.
25	* PowerDyesYourHair: Chihaya's hair changes from brown to red when she transforms. [[spoiler: Sayaka's changes from blue-black to blonde.]]
26	* RapeAsDrama: Of the hentai ''Magical Kanan'', where rape is everywhere, only [[spoiler: Sayaka]] has this problem. And that only comes from a [[RapeAsBackStory flashback.]]
27	* TheRival: Cerulean Blue
28	* SecretIdentity: Chihaya/Carmain, [[spoiler: Emi/Septem, Sayaka/Cerulean Blue.]]
29	* SplitPersonality: [[spoiler: [[ShrinkingViolet Sayaka]] and [[NoblewomansLaugh Cerulean Blue]]]] have totally different personalities.
30	* TalkingAnimal: Natsuru in the hentai version. In anime, he only makes sound Chihaya never understands.
31	* TamerAndChaster: All the sexual elements from the original eroge were removed from the anime, but it's also chased enough that the original method for Chihaya and Sayaka to transform into Carmain and Cerulean Blue (by kissing Natsuki and Hazuna on the lips) is replaced with their respective partners giving them golden marbles that are normally kept on their person (collars in animal form, bracelets in human form).
32	* TeethClenchedTeamwork: Played straight with Hentai!Chihaya and Hentai!Natsuki. Downplayed (even averted) with their anime counterparts.
33	* ThoseTwoGirls: Sayaka and Miyuri
34	* TransformationSequence: Chihaya gets a nude one in both the OVA and the TV series.
35	%%* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Sayaka
36	%%** And to Miyuri.
