Review of Haibane Renmei

The story of Haibane Renmei is full of interesting themes of sin and redemption. However, we don’t really see those themes untill half way through the series, and for good reasons. As we follow Rakka through her new life as a Haibane, she stumbles across some new interesting questions about their culture and the mysterious town they live in. This helps bring in more mystery and curiosity for the viewer as well. And then when the main themes of the series make their appearance, all hell breaks loose. With the thought of sin and redemption, you would think there is some sort of religious thinginvolved. Not quite. There are many religious themes involved, however, it’s more of an allegory then a strict following of a certain religion.As well as question some of the more interesting plot points of the series such as the wall surrounding the area. I personally loved the series because of it's creativity, and how it differs from a lot of anime. Without cleshay main characters, plus it's beautiful story, I give this series a 10 with no hesitation. I usually don't recommend shows like this to people, but this series is a game changer.
