its basically this anime i recently heard of, 13 episodes and 4 dvds, each around 40$. well i was at some import anime store today and saw a complete collection of it for only 35$ !
so i just had to get it. the only drawback is that the korean english translation isnt the best, some words lookliketheyaretogether, and sumtimes its splet like thsi. its pretty funny actuallly. well worth it tho
anyone seen it?

this looks promising. it says it's by the creator of serial experiments: lain. i have that on dvd - it's great. have you watched the whole series yet? does anything surreal happen? :)

just got to episode 6. this is really bad, worse than i thought. the subtitles seem to get worse and worse, and crucial storyline parts are jumbled mispelled nonsensical heaps of words because obviously these koreans are quite drunk on sake at this point.
still, good anime, good animation, good music, and a bit slow which isnt necessarily a bad thing. well i got what i paid for, putting up with these subs can be justified by saving so much money.

I agree, it does make sense
I'm interested in haibane renmei simply because it's the same artist as lain, and no other reason, I still have yet to find any,.. maybe at the next lan I go to >:)

on episode 10 now, it seems to be taking the same approach as lain (and most anime for that matter), self identity. although its not themed in the age of information like lain was, its more spiritual based. and chances are you wont look at a crow the same way again after seeing this anime.
stupid 2nd dvd doesnt work on my dvd player, so im gonna test it on the computer. once again i got what i paid for.

Is it badly drawn, does it have schoolgirls in it, does it fetishise an entire race of people, is it wank?

I've got easy access to this entire series, ( a mate down the road has it) but I've yet to see it, I am a little to lazy to bother dragging my computer down the road as of late

wow, almost a year. i finally watched the whole thing.
the opening dream sequence of the first episode was really exciting. then it was boring for a bunch of episodes while she was looking for a job. but once it got to the episode with the well and the crow, it got really good and sitting through the slower stuff paid off. i really enjoyed the ending. i liked it by the last episode.
this series made me feel incredibly depressed. but that's better than feeling nothing. it wasn't the best anime series i've seen, but it was worth watching and i'm glad i did.
my thanks, gwely mernans, for the recommendation! it was a good choice.

it's drawn well as far as these things go and it totally avoided any hint of sexuality or romance.

I managed to see the rest too. As a whole its a pretty symbolic and depressing anime, but theres some happiness in there aswell. The real story behind it is very very sad however.

spoiler discussion: i got the impression by the end that they were actually in the christian purgatory rather than in a fantasy world. and the pre-birth "dreams" were actually related to their deaths. what did you make of that world where the story took place?

I was never sure what I gathered from the whole city and the meaning behind it, although it did become evident that this was in fact a purgatory for children who died. The children with black wings were people who committed suicide I think.
