In a quaint Japanese town, far from the footprints of tourists, an abandoned robot named Alpha lives a quiet life, while running a coffee shop left by her previous owner. With hardly a customer from day to day, she tends to focus on life's little pleasures, while sporadically wishing for her master's return. But one day, a delivery-robot brings Alpha a camera, and through the pictures inside, her eyes are opened for the first time to the world around her.

Haibane Renmei follows the story of Rekka, a newly born haibane who wants nothing more than to remember her past, and to discover the secrets of her kind.

Seraphim Call

This series begins simply with the words, "Year 2010. A tale of 11 girls", but everything after that is a surprise. While each of the first eleven episodes examines the psyche of a different girl in the futuristic city of Neo Acropolis, it isn't about romance. Instead it is about exploring the human condition, the nature of reality or creating a logical paradox. Every episode is a uniquely created puzzle with its own trick for pleasantly messing with your mind. In the final episode the eleven girls come together for an unusual event full of metaphor, bizarreness and good feelings.
