Comments
(Devil Doll, 2004-01-03):
The first episode shows how Rakka arrives at the Haibane's Old Home, receives her halo [image4] and grows her own grey wings [image6]. She has to face a lot of questions and some uncomfortable experiences, but she makes new friends as well [image5].
When you just watched this episode for the first time you might believe not much has happened and think the narration pace is "slow". But rewatch it after you have seen episode 13 then you will probably change your opinion - every little detail might have its meaning.
