Magical Canan is a 2005 Magical Girl anime by studio 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, an ordinary student, who one day meets a 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 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 Magical Girl Warrior and starts her quest to recover all the cursed seeds. Unknowingly to the girl, this task is more involved around her than she thinks.

Tropes included:

Aloof Ally: Cerulean Blue and Septem deconstruct this trope as their aloofness would lead them to defeat, and not included with the main character.
Big Damn Heroes: Cerulean Blue, more than once.
Bleached Underpants: Magical Canan got its start as an Eroge and a Hentai OVA, Magical Kanan.
Earn Your Happy Ending
Fan Service: Expect Chihaya in her bath, showing off her back once in a while.
Faux Action Girl: 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.
Gainaxing: Chihaya's transformation, and Septem.
Hey, It's That Voice!: Sayaka also as Cerulean Blue is Fate Testarossa.
Involuntary Shapeshifter: 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.
Lovable Sex Maniac: Hentai!Natsuru.
Luke, I Am Your Father: Bergamot is Chihaya's father.
Magical Girl
- Magical Girl Warrior
Male Gaze: Chihaya grows up when she transforms and we get close-ups of her breasts and butt expanding.
Mentor Mascot: Natsuki and Hazuna.
Noblewoman's Laugh: Cerulean Blue, complete with the classic hand gesture.
Power Dyes Your Hair: Chihaya's hair changes from brown to red when she transforms. Sayaka's changes from blue-black to blonde.
Rape As Drama: Of the hentai Magical Kanan, where rape is everywhere, only Sayaka has this problem. And that only comes from a backflash.
The Rival: Cerulean Blue
Secret Identity: Chihaya/Carmain, Emi/Septem, Sayaka/Cerulean Blue.
Split Personality: Sayaka and Cerulean Blue have totally different personalities.
Talking Animal: Natsuru in the hentai version. In anime, he only makes sound Chihaya never understands.
Those Two Girls: Sayaka and Miyuri
Transformation Sequence: Chihaya gets a nude one in both the OVA and the TV series.
What Happened to The Mouse?: Sayaka
- And to Miyuri.
White-Haired Pretty Girl: Emi
