Review: Haibane Renmei #1

Having recently posted my review of Haibane Renmei #1 (out in the UK last Monday from MVM), Anime UK News has officially passed the milestone of 100 reviews; it’s taken us just under a year, but I think it’s been worth the effort. Thanks for reading and enjoy the review.

  • Yoshitoshi ABe has done it again with Haibane Renmei; a series that simply defies description. This is a serious emotional drama, covered with interesting religious symbolism and carried by some inspired moments of intense beauty. Some scenes in this first volume you will carry with you for a long time after watching; quite frankly, this is an outstanding piece of work.
