Different, unique and moving Anime

ByJoshuaon 19 March 2017

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

When it comes to Anime, there's nothing else quite like Haibane Renmei. Whether it's the plot or the setting, it really feels like an original piece of Japanese animation. It's a moving story with themes of forgiveness and redemption at its core and the characters are very well developed, especially from Reki. If you are more into slower-paced Anime that are very character-driven, then I definitely recommend this. It may leave a few unanswered questions, but part of the beauty of the narrative is that you can come to your own conclusions on certain story elements and what they mean.

Haibane Renmei

ByTogekissWingsVINE VOICEon 22 April 2007

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

A astoundingly thought-provoking and beautiful little show that rewards the patient viewer. I've been around the anime block more than once, and if you'd told me within the first few episodes that I'd be comparing this tame little anime (that appeared to be mostly about young girls sitting around drinking tea and getting jobs in the local town) with the likes of Fullmetal Alchemist, Wolf's Rain and Rahxephon, I'd have told you you were crazy :)

But something about Haibane gets its hooks into you and doesn't let you go; within the gentle atmosphere there is a tale of self-discovery, unselfish friendship and acceptance, both of yourself and the world around you that develops; it takes its time getting there but by the final episode I had tears running down my face and wasn't even sure entirely why. This is a classy, beautiful, gem of an anime-a diamond in the rough that will probably be dismissed by many simply because it doesn't LOOK like the classic that it IS. I love this anime-it left a smile on my face, a place in my heart and a space on my shelf for the prettily-presented boxed collection (which I was surprisingly willing to part with £30 for!)

This is something you'll never forget-go see it now! :)

Amazing - one of my favourite programs in any media

ByRev. Andyon 14 June 2017

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

Amazing - one of my favourite programs in any media. A world that's both strangely alien and yet deeply human, a story that's low-key and understated but reaches deep into the soul. Wonderful.

One of the best anime

ByAmazon Customeron 1 June 2008

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

An amazing example of what anime is capable of.

Initially the greeting-card-angel-like appearance of the Haibane is rather distracting; whatever they are, they aren't angels. Stick with it.

This series is well up there with the famous Studio Ghibli features in its beauty and power. If you appreciate Spirited Away, you're likely to like this greatly too.

It moves slowly initially but is always interesting and ends with an extraordinarily moving climax.

It well deserves the five stars the other reviewers have given.

Fantastic Series

ByBogieon 14 December 2007

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

What can I say about this series, except that it is perhaps one of the most emotional, thought-provoking and beautiful pieces of anime to come out of Japan in years!

Sure, the animation is a bit rough in places, and the foley work is sometimes mistimed, but none of that really matters when you have a wonderful story voiced by accomplished Japanese actors.

The quietly told journey of discovery, charting Rakka's new life as a Haibane in Old Home, will have you holding back tears by the end. Have a box of tissues handy!

More questions than answers but you won't mind.

No regrets (unless you count seeing spoilers on wiki). This is a lovely story with sweet music and loveable characters. There is pain and ambiguity throughout this tale...Read more

One of the best

Haibane Renmei is one of my favourite anime series. It is other-wordly not only because of the setting of unspecified location but also because of the souls of the characters.Read more

Nothing like it exists in Anime to my knowledge.

I don't think I can do any better a description than that above. It is a truly wonderful Anime.
