Hm, started the show a few days ago, up to episode 6. Very nice so far (awesomeness begin to surface after ep5...). Haven't finished yet, but somehow it gives a feeling similar to Aria, a feeling for liking the show, but unable to explain why...

No spoilers if possible (hide it with spoiler tags), anyone watched the show?

I read a little about Haibane on the wiki, and realized it started as a doujin manga but was never finished. But yea I didn't dare to read any further cuz there are spoilers in the article.

Yea I also agree it won't be something that everyone likes. Time to watch more and see how it feels. Just realized Rakka's seiyuu is Alice's (Aria).

Free Bird is indeed awesome, Ootani Kou ftw, although I didn't like his Shana composing that much.

Wow, I've just finished it, and I've gotta say I absolutely love the ending. And I couldn't even explain why its good. The only thing I realized is that I teared when Reki said "Rakka, tasukete" and I don't even know why. Again, bittersweet ending but I love it. This has just become one of my most favourite anime.

Ok, I am looking for more shows like this now, any recommendations? Initially I find it similar to Aria, but after finishing it, I definitely don't think so. The only similarity is probably the pace.

Noir is NOTHING compare to Haibane Renmei, at all.....
