Aria the Animation

A slow and gentle progression, showing a different world, the different people that live there and their various occupations, while the involved characters grow and learn about life.
Mainly, the atmosphere of both 'Haibane Renmei' and the 'Aria' series is extremely similar for their overwhelming calmness. Also, the plot of both are somewhat similar in that both characters are in a certain type of organization and are striving to become a 'useful' member of that organization.

Haibane Renmei and Aria are both rather slow-paced "iyashikei" (healing) slice-of-life shows with a hint of melancholy that concentrate more on relaxing the viewer instead of trying to make them laugh.
Similarities:

Differences:
- Haibane Renmei has much more drama and much eerier atmosphere

Both are set in an isolated alternate world which is introduced trough multiple episodes, all of their prominent characters are female, main characters can be described as curious, complying and kind, both are mentored by a more experienced and respected woman which they adore. Episodic storytelling is also a shared trait between the two series, as is the slow pacing and delusive absence of coherent progression. The most apparent similarity is the
