I'm very surprised that Haibane Renmei's OP hasn't gotten a single mention in this thread. Do people who like Evangelion not watch Haibane Renmei? That's sad. It's the best anime ever made, in my opinion. I think a lot of people on here would like it, too.
In my opinion, Haibane Renmei's OP is one of anime's finest. No saccharine J-pop song or anything like that, just an incredibly beautiful instrumental. The first time I saw that OP, I just knew that I was in for something different.
Haibane Renmei OPThe rest of the soundtrack is pretty much just as beautiful, by the way, and in much the same style. It goes without saying that I also think Haibane Renmei has one of the best soundtracks in anime. Ko Otani is amazing.
A person...is a shadow which we can never penetrate, of which there can be no such thing as direct knowledge, with respect to which we form countless beliefs, based upon words and sometimes actions, neither of which can give us anything but inadequate and as it proves contradictory information-a shadow behind which we can alternately imagine, with equal justification, that there burns the flame of hatred and of love.
-Marcel Proust, In Search of Lost Time
