Haibane Renmei - The Girl Who Fell to Old Home

The work of Yoshitoshi ABe is at once comforting and haunting, melancholic yet hopeful, and this dichotomy is at the heart of Haibane Renmei - his doujin-turned-anime series about loss, love, and halos. Its angelic exploration of depression is a striking work that still resonates today, and in this video I explore why the girls of Old Home and their harrowing plights have stuck with me in the years since release. Mild spoilers throughout this video.
