| I recently watched Haibane Renmei and I am trying to find another series with a similar feel. does anyone have any suggestions, if so what are they? |
| http://myanimelist.net/anime/387/Haibane_Renmei/userrecs You would have to be more specific about you liked about the series. If you liked the symbolism part of it, NGE or Angel's Egg would be good choices. If you like the tone, NieA_7. And probably wait for Despera, as it will probably bear some elements from it. |
| think it's the wrong board ^^ but i think a mod will move it for you. haven't seen this one yet so can't realy recomend anything accepr for what "Cthulu" said |
| Angel Beats! , not as serious though, but you've seen everything I was going to recommend. |
| Sora no Woto comes to mind when I think about it. It's already listed in the recommendations there. Sora no woto is setting is different though, it is a post-war era where the previous humanity was nearly wiped out. Very little culture and knowledge seems to have survived. Throughout the series you just try to piece together what's the world is like from the main cast daily interactions. Similar to Haibane Renmei, it is some what of a mystery as to what the world around them is like. A female main character joins an existing group of characters to learn their way of life. Each episode is structured like a slice of life genre, and also the entire cast is female. You can expect character development to unfold slowly with each episode. You have a bunch of cute/moe moments but the over arcing story is rather tense. Sora no Woto does have some sad moments, but I wouldn't call it a tear jerker like how Haibane Renmei built up to. But overall I think you would see similarities you might enjoy in Sora no Woto. (rambling: what... how isn't haibane renmei on my anime list. going to fix that) |
| Sora no Woto seconded. I'd also give Mushishi a try, it has a similar thoughtful feel to it. |
 |
| Thank you all for replying and for your recommendations I certainly intend to look into Sora no Woto and NieA_7. Mushishi is also quite similar to Haibane Renmei though more episodic, it is in my top five anime. My favorite parts of Haibane Renmei are the mystery and tranquility of the setting the likability of the characters the open endedness of the story and the emotion that it evokes. |
| I've never run across anything quite like Haibane Renmei. In decending order, I think you may find some of the titles below achieve some of the same depth and thoughtfulness. 1 Sora no Woto 2 Mushishi 3 Mokke 4 Zettai Shounen 5 Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind 6 Kamichu These two involve some action but there is still a "stillness" about them and they pose similar questions in a slightly different way. 7 Kino no Tabi 8 Casshern Sins Going to have to investigate NieA_7 . . . |

| Spice and Wolf, maybe Natsume Yuujincho from your ptw list Air, mabye Eve no Jikan, maybe |
| Not really sure I would hold Sora no Woto in a similar regard to Haibane Renmei personally...seems a bit flattering to SnW to me. o.O |

| @hentai_proxy - RE: Niea_y. Thank you. My taste is pretty eclectic so I'll give it a look. @Jack-Rav - We didn't say Sora no Woto is "like" Haibane nor imply it was "as good as." :-) As I said before, I've yet to come across anything quite "like" HR. I've been watching Zettai Shounen and wanted to add it to the "similar" list because of it's slow, melancholy pace, unexplained or slowly explained phenomenon, and mystery with some connection to an unclear past. I'm not crazy about the character art but it's o.k. and gets the job done but the background art and natural sound track including bird songs and insect noises works very well. I'm still in the summer arc and it really conveys the slow, heavy, hot, sun bleached, dusty feel of August. |
