watched n read before. kinda like it. n the anime does follow bit by bit of the manga like how it started, n character story, Reki's which exactly the same with the manga, just that the manga placement is weird to be comic. i think it as release like doujin-like stuff.

barely remember nething, watched it long time ago.

haibane renmei is really slow pace anime. it can boring is certain part (most probably). just ask urself if u enjoy those type of anime, if do, go ahead, if dun, dun put ur expectation too high then. neone who watch Niea_7 b4, if u hate it, then u wouldnt enjoy this one too.
