It’s a fairly standard VN adaptation, but it’s not something you see regularly.

That’s probably true only to the degree that if we don’t see Elis as the “main” girl. It did do a good job to make you think it could go either way though.

For whatever reason I missed watching this the first time around. Is there any particular reason to do so, now that I know the “twist” at the end? Or is it just fairly standard VN adaption?

I honestly can’t remember any plot points about Canvas 2 (anime) anymore but I genuinely enjoyed it having done a review as well. The only thing I recall is that I was on Kiri’s side of things, and that when the ending happened it was surprising at one second, and perfectly understandable the next.

As for the morals, I feel that the fake-or-real imouto angle is too saturated and overplayed in the VN world to garner any weight on my enjoyment. I enjoyed Canvas 2 not because of the amoral angle but because it was an equal-opportunity love story (like true tears). Could have gone either way I mean.

Shoujo and josei can do better in moral choices as part of the story.
