Haibane Renmei is one of the few anime to make my elite top 10 list. The story is "cliche" but it executes it very well in the little time allotted (12 eps) slow and easy going but meaningful and mysterious. the art is a unique style that is easy to watch and no flaws are evident. the sound was a little off on some of the streams i watched but thats not the animes fault.the one major character flaw that i saw was lack of character development between Kuu and Rakka. during their time theres alot of connecting i dont really see on screen and without that Rakka's sadness isint really "justified". This is an anime that is easy to watch with good music and an easy to follow story. i cant help but give it a ten in my overall because it tugs amazingly well at the heart strings you never knew you had and leaves an overall good impression after the credits roll. if you have the time. watch it.
