Haibane Renmei

Yes, this is my very first post in a while. I have been watching a shitload of animes and have concluded many thoughts about them philosophical-wise and entertainment-wise.

And I just want to start of with..Haibane Renmei.

By golly, this anime is quite the most saddest, peaceful anime I have ever seen--but then agian im really sensitive and into emotional things.

In the beginning its really interesting to see the birth and introduction of Rakka and the Haibane of Old Home. The town itself exists solely for the Haibane including the Walls, which are forbidden to be touched, and the Communicator of the Toga, who cant be spoken to unless permissed.

The everyday life in the sure-as-peaceful town is suddenly interupted by sudden questions of existentialism and a searching for a past in dreams. Rakka will soon learn how the system works and how she can help her friend be freed of her Sin.

The reason I love this anime is because I first found out that the same artist who drew for Serial Experiments Lain drew this as well--and, no kiddin. The art is soo his style and it looks fucking great!

Art may be one factor, but the style is nice too. I love peaceful animes, especially, the one that shows aspect to aspect scenes and letting the beauty of everyday life stand still and significant.

But perhaps what makes this anime memorable is the music and the sad twisted story. The music is friggin mellow and soothingly sad..it makes me wanna cry and remember all who has been involved in the anime. The Town and it's denizens, the Haibane, and the slice of life genre. People live day by day and then soon have to move on, towards something greater, leaving loved ones behind.

To conclude, this anime is friggin awesome going at only 13 episodes long. Oh, and a side note, its good to watch this in the fall/winter. I highly reccomend this and applause at the creator. Thank you Japanese people! ^_^o btw this animes in french as well which is nice--more ppl to recognize animations!


(have you noticed why all the good animes--besides OnePiece--are short? I mean, they range from 4-6 episodes to 13-26 episodes and sometimes just end there because it is the end)
