1	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The entire soundtrack... typical for [[VideoGame/ShadowOfTheColossus Ko Otani]].
2	* EveryoneIsJesusInPurgatory: There are ''legitimate'' reasons to consider it to be taking place in purgatory in this case.
3	* {{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:
4	** ''Fanfic/MadoOfStoneMill'' is generally considered by much of the English-speaking fandom to be so well integrated with the main series that it is practically [[WordOfDante Deuterocanon]].
5	** It's generally considered that the series takes place in purgatory and that the characters are waiting until they deal with any baggage until they can be either reincarnated or ascended to heaven. The Haibane all died at a young age. You'll usually see Kuu having died in an airplane crash, Rakka by either suicide or accidentally falling, Reki by suicide, and at least one other character due to an illness. Another theory, however, is that ''everyone'' died from suicide and they're reverted to a young age when they become Haibane.
6	* FanonDiscontinuity: The Haibane are not angels but almost every analysis, review, article, and fan-work interprets them as such. If not that, then fans opt to believe they're not angels ''yet''.
7	* FanPreferredCouple: The anime is NoHuggingNoKissing but many fans ship Reki and Rakka together.
8	* LesYay: Reki and Rakka have an intense, intimate, and profound relationship that forms the cornerstone of the entire story. It's not a huge surprise that they're a FanPreferredCouple.
9	* MainstreamObscurity: was a well-known anime during the 2000s and was frequently cited on "must watch" lists. However, few people that praise it actually got around to ''watching it''. Official streaming and home rereleases have helped this a bit though.
10	* SugarWiki/SuperlativeDubbing: The English dub has been quite praised by fans and critics of the show.
11	* ViewerGenderConfusion: Some viewers initially mistook Kana and Kuu for boys. And it's not just viewers, some characters are confused, too.
