Haibane Renmei

A dream of falling from the sky...and then birth. Rakka is born from a large cocoon into the Old Home, greeted by a group of females with small wings on their backs and shining halos above their heads. Soon Rakkas own wings grow, a halo is placed on her head and she is told that she must work in the nearby town of Grie. She soon realizes that the town and the entire world they live in are confined behind the Wall, a tall, impenetrable wall that none except the mysterious Toga are allowed to exit. (Source: ANN)

In my opinion, there's enough good stuff here to let it squeak by with three stars, but I had a lot of reservations about Yozora. - ThemAnime

I recommend Haibane Renmei to everyone, save those who can’t sit through five minutes of anime without some sort of action on the screen. There is nothing out there remotely like Haibane Renmei, and those who watch it will be trapped within its mystery, just like the Haibane themselves. - Nihon Review
