Haibane Renmei is a very good anime. It has not much in the way of action and it is character driven, but it is moving. The music is beautiful and the characters are realistic in their intentions.
It is about Rakka, a girl who is born as a Haibane (a winged humanoid) in the town of Glie. She has no memories of her past life, nor do the other Haibane. Glie is surrounded by a wall, and neither the humans nor the Haibane are allowed to leave the town. The anime is mostly about Rakka and her life as a Haibane, but at the same time she tries to understand what exactly Haibane are, and why no one can exit Glie.
It may sound boring, and it might be for those who prefer action and fighting scenes. It has a lot of talking, that's for sure, but it's all worth it. I can't expand because that would be giving out spoilers, but you can get the general idea, can't you?
The anime is very touching, and it will make you cry.
I recommend this series to those people who want something philosophical and slow-paced.
