I actually finished this before my Australia trip, but didn't write anything. Anyways, this was a very good little series. It falls under that category of anime called "Everything is a metaphor for the meaning of life." Honestly though, this is another pretty heavy anime, much like "Now and Then, Here and There" it presents a whole string of themes about the cycle of life and figuring out where you fit in.

I thought the whole concept of the town and the Haibane and everything was very slick and really made for an interesting setting. As is becoming a bit of a trend, I actually thought the ending would be a bit more tidy and wrap up more of the storyline. We do have a climax and resolution at the end of the series, but I guess I just imagined things would end in a different time and place.

All in all it's a very well done anime and totally worth watching. plus it's a short 13 episode series.
