Review of Haibane Renmei

If youre looking for a light-heartened, simple easy going anime- this is not it. This anime short is only 13 episodes long, but it packs itself full of symbolism and deep things throughout the episodes. This is one of those animes that you really benefit from reading analysis of once your done watching to get concrete understanding. If youre someone who enjoys deeper meanings and more introspective anime, its worth the watch. The characters are relatable and enjoyable, and the art style still holds up in 2020. If you enjoyed Utena, give this a watch. #P.s I find myself re-watching Haibane Renmei every few years becauseI need to afferm the message of the story.

If you find yourself in a bad place, mental health whise please stick to the end if you've been dealing with it alone.
