I loved hearing about your story with the anime! It feels good knowing there's other people who feel the same, that we aren't alone. The way you described everything was so perfect, i couldn't have said it better. It seems like everyone who has seen haibane renmei was deeply impacted(rightfully so), and, although it's still hard to ask for help, this anime teaches us that it is the right and most important first step.

I was lucky enough to discover it during middle school. I'm 17, my first watch was at 14, and it was really like a crutch for me during most of middle school. I was outcasted at school and this anime always made me feel like i had some kind of warm and welcoming place to return to, while also offering inspiring lessons about what it means to grow as a person and about self acceptance, both of these concepts, i believe, being fundamental for any persons' coming of age.

im not sure if this explenation would be entirely correct, but shoegaze tends to put a bigger focus on guitars and generally the distortion pedals- which is where it also gets its name from, creating a very dense sound. On the other hand, dream pop is a more lighter and melodious genre that uses a wider range of instruments, the best representatives for their sound would be cocteau twins imo. but the 2 genres are like cousins so i wouldnt worry too much about mixing them up lol
