After watching some of Canvas 2, I decided to put Canvas 1 on.

At first I thought this was a harem. Then I realized it is just about the guy. The girls are there for commentary and there is no character growth. The ending is just soso and I was rather surprised that this was an HGame. It's not all that good really. It's a shojo romance with some ecchi put in to keep the guys interested. For the animation, the colors were good but I didn't like the character designs especially his 'sister'.

Unevaluated Jan-Chan [series:1192#967]
This two episode OVA is a pretty simple high school romance story, punctuated with a short ecchi scene in each episode. While being artistically a very pleasant anime series, I find it to have a very simple and uninspiring story line, worth only a <watch> rating. There might be those into this type of series who might rate this(as high)as a <rent>, but they would probably would be few in numbers.

I have posted some snaps of the first episode.
