NieAnon here. I usually post my NieA/Haruhi copypasta on the Haruhi Suzumiya threads, but the most recent Haruhi thread died earlier this week >>279723743 I felt inclined to post here and in response to this because, and while Niea is one of the weaker shows in the aBe lineup (RErideD is still THE weakest and CANNOT be recommended), I can recommend NieA because of a certain approach.

I have been rewatching NieA_7 lately, and there's a lot of similarities between the progression of NieA_7 and Haibane Renmei. The first 5 to 6 episodes ground the world of the setting, and the remaining focus on a specific main plot. There's also a thematic race, with said race meant to represent certain themes (immigration for the literal aliens in NieA_7, redemption for the Haibane) So, NieA_7 can be seen as a precursor to Haibane Renmei: things that you see in Haibane Renmei had a "draft" stage in NieA_7
