 |
| I really enjoyed this episode~ Kana is a great character - she always makes me smile. :) |
     |
| l liked how she was in the both sides aw well. lol i stil cant belive that all the group are girles. |
 |
| How precisely of a raven has bombed on her head. Near my house too on a wire ten or twelve pigeons eternally sit, it is dangerous to going under them! :) |
| Heh, Kana got dive-bombed... XD Cute episode, and that Wall looms as usual. Rather sinister if you ask me. And what's with the town being "cone shaped"? o_O Makes you wonder what the hell happened on the outside. |
 |
| Whoah, Kana is a girl? I was thinking they're all girls but she doesn't look it. I guess all Haibanes are female then. |
| I guess this episode is similar to the last one. I don't have anything else to add since it has the same vibes like before. I did notice that those "crows" has something to do with the story. However, I can't seem to figure it out. I also noticed that each of them had their own past shown in their dreams. However, it looks like it will be impossible for them to recall it. Possibly, those angels must be a reincarnation of humankind. |

| =>on hold<= will watch this anime another time.. not enough action or intensivity.. |

| Same here. I just keep putting it off, even though the characters are great. Plot is non-existant. |
| |
 Relaxing episode. (: |

The one thing I remember in this episode was the brief mention of that legend Kana was talking about when she and Rakka were at the top of the town's clcok tower. She said they were the carriers of the items left behind of each Haibane's previous life prior to being born in the cocoon. I thought maybe they were a representation of their lost memories taken away. |
 |
| Somehow, I don mind slow pace of this anime. Its just beautiful - everyday life of Haibanes, relaxed atmosphere... |
| i see aria in this now :) so relaxing... 5/5 |

NeloDeath said: It's blatantly obvious that the crows are significant to the plot, one was even in Rakka's dream. As for the episode, it was decent... still developing the characters, but I would like some more mystery... or something. I think it's mystery all the time. I love it. |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| I wonder what's over those walls.. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |

| Heh, this anime isn't slow at all to me. Actually, I don't think I've ever breezed through episodes quite as fast as I am this show. I am really enjoying it so far. |
| The concept of being barricaded by walls reminds me of Plato's Cave. |
 |
| the crows are starting to become more and more apparent in the series, and obviously symbolise something, the legend that was mentioned at the top of the tower was very interesting indeed.Not too bothered about the pace and the lack of 'action' i knew coming into this, that it wouldn't be that sort of anime! |
| Kana is awesome. |
| A nice episode once more although the episode pace is good the story development pace isn't' or rather very slow, still quite nice with a rather relaxed atmosphere! |
 |
| This is my favourite episode so far, I think. And it made me really like Kana. What do crows and clocks have in common? |
brainstorm5 said: holy shit, kana is a girl It's immediately obvious watching the english dub. Nice episode. Still don't know if the Haibane age. |
 |
hznu said: Whoah, Kana is a girl? I was thinking they're all girls but she doesn't look it. I guess all Haibanes are female then. I think its random because some of the smaller ones are almost certainly boys |

hznu said: Whoah, Kana is a girl? I was thinking they're all girls but she doesn't look it. I guess all Haibanes are female then. Yeah I found out I think in episode 2 when the subtitle said "she" and I was surprised then. Cute episode, and I agree that the crows probably symbolize something. Again, not much happened except for world building, as we see how Kana explains the way of the town and the walls. |
| Kana insists that she finds the crows annoying, but in fact she just envies them for being able to fly where ever they please. She's shooing them away because she knows there is something more to their life than being confined in the walls. I love seeing Rakka get closer to all the character's in the series by visiting their work place. It also helps you see the human and haibane interaction in more depth as well. |

| I'm having a hard time seeing why this anime is so highly rated. I've watched many a slowburn anime and enjoyed it, but this one is proving to be a challenge. While the slow unveiling of the mistery that is this world is interesting, it's done in such a slice of life way that I get bored easily. |

| I have no idea where this anime is going. I like that. |
 |
| I totally mistook Kana for a boy.. Good episode. |
| I like the general OST of this show. The openings, endings, and soundtrack of the show are amazing. In this episode, we learned that the crows supposedly carry objects from the people's past lives. I theorize that they may also contain their memories and they could be symbolic of the people's urge for freedom because they can go in and out of the walls as they please. The one that Rakka keeps looking at could be the same crow and it could be the one that carries her past life memories/items. |
 |
| Rakka is so cute :) This is so interesting also |
| I really hope this episode was loaded with foreshadowing... kind of boring. |
  |
| Just started watching this episode, I'm getting some Aria vibes from this show. |
| It is still so relaxing i dont know why but im often picky with SoL buy i quite like this one. It goves us yet some other hints. The story about the legend, walls and the crows are keywords here. |

I actually thought that the subtitles were wrong :D She does look like a guy, her voice is lower and the way she acts.. I guess it all just made me think she's a boy. I was so surprised when I found out. Didn't believe it at first but got some reassurance as I watched more episodes. And Kuu also seemed like a boy, but apparently isn't since they're all female? Or not? But what about the little ones, they seemed like boys to me. So I wonder. And I get the feeling that this anime is just building up right now. We are probably going to have something pretty interesting happening later on. At least it feels like it. |

| I don't think all of them are female. Too many of those children look like boys. I enjoyed this episode a lot. These episodes feel a lot shorter than they are. :) |
 |
| The soundtrack is absolutely gorgeous. That piano melody while Rakka and Kana were talking about the wall was stunning. I'm surprised at how short these episodes feel considering these episodes have been a whole lot of nothing (aside from minor minute or two long hints at something deeper). really relaxing episode ~ |

| It was way better than the previous episodes. Hope it'll keep getting more and more interesting ~ |
