With regards to Eri/Erif, I now understand why she was crying after coming out of the Springs. I believe that he realized that he could never go back to carefree days of a Priestess who could do whatever they wanted. And growing up into an adult was a scary experience. Too bad Eri never had a partner to go into the Springs together with so they could both come out with their assigned gender. Given that the pendent wing was broken on the left side, I wonder if it meant that he could not return to the Springs to to have his gender reassigned as a female? I guess not as once the wing is broken, that means that the gender is permanent and can not be reverse to a female. |

I recently re-watched the whole series. It is still very good after seeing it for the time in 2007. There hasn't been any other yuri series like Simoun even though the show was never really about yuri to begin with.
Here is a heartwarming image: |

...I'm in Australia. Different region for DVDs. Shipping will kill me, though. And I usually try to buy local before going online where practicable.
I also have this strange habit that I can't seem to rewatch a series once I've already finished it once. Even if it's been a few years since I last watched it. So I guess lack of drive is another reason I haven't gone out to buy copies of Simoun.

Do you guys feel that based on the new characters that appeared in the Simoun PS2 game where to have appeared in the 2nd season if the series had continued?

Huh, interesting. I didn't know there was expanded material from this series. Simoun is easily one of my favorite series from the 2000's, so I would have been happy to see more of it.

I really liked this when watched it 18 months ago after buying all the DVDs at an auction.
It had some interesting concepts, especially around gender issues & the "fairy punk" design to the technology, along with using a lot of performers more used to live action roles. One of the few downsides i found was having too many regular characters, some seemed there just to make up the necessary amount to pilots for the Simouns. If the aspects of least interesting ones had been merged into less but more rounded characters it would have been a bit better. |

What was also a missed opportunity was never resolving the fate of Amuria. Where did she ended up in the timestream. It would had been nice if the producers had put to rest the speculation on her whereabouts.. |
