Haibane Renmei/YMMV

• Crowning Music of Awesome: The entire soundtrack...typical for Ko Otani.
• Everyone Is Jesus in Purgatory: There are legitimate reasons to consider it to be taking place in purgatory in this case.
• Fanon: Yoshitoshi ABe purposely left a lot of the series unexplained, so that people could develop their own theories about the characters and about the world in which the story takes place.
  • Mado of Stone Mill is generally considered by much of the English-speaking fandom to be so well integrated with the main series that it is practically Deuterocanon.
• Nightmare Fuel: The Railroad Tracks of Doom in Reki's room near the end of the series. This scene is remarkably similar to a Destruction Harrowing in feel and implications.
  • Rakka growing her wings.
• Viewer Gender Confusion: Some viewers initially mistook Kana and Kuu for boys. It's not just viewers, some characters are confused, too.
• World of Woobie
