So based on what the old lady said, the Feathers must experience some ageing. I wonder how long they live. Do the adult Feathers live in the Federation's tower? If they even exist, that is.

So far, this series has been really uninteresting, but I have a feeling it will pick up soon.

Japanese carrots must be some kind of bitter poison xD

Hmm so the Haibane can grow up and can get old.

I wonder why they didn't allowed Haibane to speak with them
Especially when they have same language and they speak to them
It's like talking to a yes/no robot :P

Carrot is bitter? Wait a minute.. what kind of trick is this?
I tasted a lot of carrot and most of them are sweet

Hikari is interesting xD

Are carrots bitter? Is that a thing? I've never tasted a carrot that's bitter.

...That aside, this was a good episode. It had a nice mix of content, adding some mystery in the first half and some nice slice-of-life in the second. The entire thing about Hikari and the halo-maker was cute.

The ending is weird, but in a good way. The visuals remind me of Evangelion's ending and the song reminds me of Coraline's soundtrack, strangely. It sounds otherworldly.

I'm glad I've finally found an anime that shares my absolute hatred for carrots.
Carrots = worst vegetable.

That's too bad if that happens, and that sounds like the opposite if "getting really good" to me.

They can be if they are grown poorly, I've usually on experienced it with undergrown carrots and bad brands of grocery store carrots tho.

As someone who hates the taste of carrots I share their pain. They could have at least paired them with other food. But nope. You get a whole freaking plate by itself.

I'm really liking this show so far. The atmosphere is very relaxing, the characters are very nice to follow (I particularly like Reki, she's got a great personality, but everyone else is very likable too, especially Hikari who's just so much fun), and there are a lot of interesting details that might lead to something even more interesting. I just hope it won't become too dark though, and instead will keep its relaxing vibes even if things get heavier.
Oh and just a little detail, but I'm surprised Kuu and Kana turned out being girls, they look quite masculine. And then, does it mean only girls can be among the Haibane ? I wonder.
Anyway, this show might become a favorite of mine if it keeps being this good. I hope it won't disappoint.

Time flies with this series.
So they are all girls, huh.
It makes sense as to why did the kids smell cake on Rakka, heh.
This anime is cozy, and the pacing feels good, but I swear I can't help but feel there's something there, lurking, waiting... There's something unsettling with this anime.

I enjoyed these three chapters, but I feel like something creepy is around this Haibane thing.
I think this is gonna be darker than it seems. Or not, I don't really know.

The old woman caretaker isn't a Haibane, it seems. I was surprised. Weren't they said to live separately from humans?

Never thought of carrots as bitter. Cooked carrots are sweet, and even raw carrots have subtle sweet taste when chewn enough. Maybe it depends on the type of carrot, or their environment of production.
"What is trash to us, is food for the crows" draws parallels to the haibane having to wear used clothing.

It mentions earlier that the caretaker lives with them in Old Home, along with the Young Feathers.
