I just googled this, since I loved Haibane Renmei and was intrigued by the mention, and found this description:

revolves around a young girl named Kanata Sorami who is inspired to join the military after witnessing a rendition of "Amazing Grace" by a mysterious trumpeter of the Helvetian Army. Becoming a bugler, she is assigned to the 1121st Platoon stationed in the town of Seize (inspired by Cuenca, Spain) in Helvetia (another name for Switzerland), where she is taken into the care of 2nd Lt. Filicia Heideman, M/Sgt. Rio Kazumiya and the rest of the 1121st Platoon. The story takes place in a post-apocalyptic world after a great war regressed humanity's technological capabilities back to early-to-mid 20th century standards.

And now I'm really confused about how the two anime are related. Unless I found the wrong one?

OP

fffffff them's spoilers! One of the nice things about So Ra No Wo To is that it never, ever infodumps. It's a really slow realisation that "hey, this character whose name is Japanese suspiciously can't use kanji..." "why are there so many orphans in the town..." "is it normal to let teenage girls into the army..."

But Haibane Renmei comparison because slice-of-life, loved by its fans, a bit under the radar, based in a small town, artistic leanings, atmospheric. I was scrabbling for a good comparison so I do apologise if it wasn't accurate. That FB conversation made me so mad! >.
