YMMV: Haibane Renmei
  • 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.
    • The bird skeleton in the well.
    • The walls, as not only does touching them bring you close to death, they project what you want to hear from them so you're compelled to touch it.
  • Superlative Dubbing: The English dub has been quite praised by fans and critics of the show.
  • Viewer Gender Confusion: Some viewers initially mistook Kana and Kuu for boys. It's not just viewers, some characters are confused, too.
