Amazon show it in stock as of this morning, so I guess it's no longer vapourware. |

Pardon the double post, but I've just finished watching ICE - I think it might be relevant to the interests of Simoun fans.
Why? Well the obvious answer would be its combination of sci-fi and yuri aspects, plus a certain amount of gender-bending (it's set in a world where all the men have died out, and one of the main female characters is voiced by a bloke). But the real reason is harder to explain, something about the way it throws in a whole lot of intriguing stuff then leaves you wondering what the hell is going on. Much like Simoun, it's not a show for people who want their anime to make immediate sense Also, Kitamura Eri (Amuria) plays a character called Mint, who has nothing to do with Galaxy Angel. |

Of course, it's not the slice-of-life show much of Simoun is. |

Merci, IchiKyo. It's been mentioned here before, but the full-length OP and ED themes can be found on savage genius's album Kaze no Kesshō.

According to the Media Blasters panel at AX, Simoun will be released sub-only.

I kinda figured that would happen. A bit of a shame, as I always look forward to hearing a dub to either laugh/cringe at how bad it is or to marvel at the novelty of a good one.
At least this means the discs will be dirt cheap, though |

I've been interested in the ps2 game as well since I saw they were working on it last year. I got my fingers crossed and already ordered it from the play-asia people. If I get the game even still just sealed in package and never play thats good enough for me. I collect things to have not to sell. Waiting as well to see what they do with the series on DVD. My fingers are crossed and I am looking out the window every time I hear a door ... (added signature for part of this here listed corrected spelling)

Received my copy of the Simoun Drama CD, the one where the entire Sybilla all goes to "Tokyo City." Highly enjoyable, although I didn't get parts of it. I'll be looking forward to November to get my first Simoun DVD.
Some key parts: Spoiler for Drama CD:

Eri/Erij: A woman's mind trapped in a man's body?
After reading the summary regarding episode 2, I can't help but wonder about the decision that was placed upon Erii at the springs temple. I got the impression that the male gender was forced on her by the preistess because she couldn't make the choice on her own. In retrospect, I do believe that Erii was seriously leaning towards choosing the female gender.
The forced actions by the priestess led to the tragic consequences that would affect Erii for the rest of her life as a man. I don't believe that she would have seriously chosen the male gender option if she had made a firm decision beforehand. As the result of the actions that was not of her own choosing, Erii is made to suffer emotional turmoil as she undergoes her transformation to a man. This is certainly a classic case of a woman's mind forever trapped in a man's body. I was doing some research on Erii/Erij in the Simoun manga. Does she appear in that series as well? If so, was the fate placed on her the same as in the anime? From what I've read so far about the springs temple in the manga, it mentioned that the process can be reversed. In contrast, the gender selection is permanent. Is this true? It's ashame that Erii was made into a scapegoat for this circumstance. I would have loved to have seen a great deal of character development made to her by the writing staff. Erii could have been a interesting character if they had kept her around thoughout the series as a pliot and her interactions with the other cast members. I do feel that the wrong character was used for this controversial decision. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ However, if Eri never existed in the manga, then I'll assume that the writers of this series created her as a entrapment to draw more people to this series, as Erii/Erij was only used 2-3 times. If this was their intension, then they did an excellent job at doing just that. Simoun had the potential to become another Eureka 7 without the yuri attached to it for the mainstream audience. Instead, they made it into a controversial series surrounding the transgender issue among the girls as they reached the age of 17. This is probably the only thing that would keep the series from reaching the popular maintream level of Eureka 7. I am certainly convinced that Simoun could have gone on to 52 episodes. Also, I do feel that Erii would have been an interesting FEMALE character. Too bad they wrote her off as a man. |
