Review of Haibane Renmei

The only thing worse than realizing you have to take a dump after showering is realizing you've wasted your day on an entire anime series like this once it's over. I don't hate this, then again it's too long, taking me in the middle of no where mentally, and when it's over I ask myself why. I'll try to find good/bad points: + Perfect opening scene where she falls from the sky + Really addicting harpsicord used in some scenes, watch out for it! + I guess it has a nice Castle in the Sky-esque atmosphere + Excellent dinner around ep 6 + The inside of the wall feels likea dark mystical dream
+ Unbelievably well done climax of the last episode (too bad thoes 20 seconds are the payoff)

- I'm pretty sure halo's are used only in iconography
- The wing growing thing was gross
- What's the purpose of wings if they can't fly? --> filler dialogue
- Storytelling seems forced
- Lifeless characters
- Animation seems cheap, imagery seems primitive
- Lame opening/closing songs
- Takes about 8 episodes for the train on the wheels to get rockin & rolling
- Laptop on my stomach was too hot

All in all, this is a very sad attempt at a series, and I kinda feel sorry for myself for ever watching it in the first place. I have nothing else to say. Have a nice day (I know I didn't)!
