Haibane is one of those shows that comes along, only every so often, and when it does, you take notice. I watched the first volume, and first was taken in by the brilliant animation, then by the musical score, and finally by the ever deepening world of the Haibane.
The story is deep. Like, a beach that is, at first shallow enough to wade through, and gradually gets to the point where you can only hope to swim on the surface.
The very idea of the show asks you to look into yourself, and consider things from a different way. That way is exactly what makes Haibane great, for the open minded.
If you are going into Haibane expecting it to be another wish wash of one dimensional characters that have no depth, then you're wrong. If you are going into it thinking it will be action packed, and have explosives, babes, and guns, then you are wrong again.
Go into Haibane looking for nothing but beautiful animation, and even story that goes somewhere, then you'll have the right idea.
