Review of Haibane Renmei

Haibane Renmei is captivating. A story told with care and proficiency by someone who certainly wanted his viewers to hold on to the world he created. I'm easily captivated by stories like this, so maybe I'm being biased, but the imagination behind Haibane Renmei's entire universe is fantastic. Much of my experience, it should be noted, was thanks to the magnificent work of the sound direction. Intense moments of silence, turned in the mood only with an abrupt cut in music or voice, ambient sound masterfully placed to pass, even without words (or even without images at some points), everything that the scene wants to present. Ialready know several of Sound Director's works, but I can say that, apart from Hinamatsuri, this was my favorite.
And to finish very well, the whole biblical metaphor of the Cornerstone, which I already expected to happen since episode 1, turned out to be even more explored than I thought it would be. I needed to read the 20 page One-shot focused on Reki right after finishing the anime, because I wanted to know more about her.
I wanted more. I wanted more stories, more depth, more of this universe. If there were more, it could easily be one of my favorites.
