That's too bad, I was kind of hoping SP's sales would be bad. But it's a lot more accessible show than Simoun, you can watch one or two episodes and know perfectly well what exactly to expect from it (unless some big change happens in the second half of the show that I haven't watched but I doubt it). While in Simoun's case I compared it with Last Exile in the beginning and with Haibane Renmei in the end which shows a significant change.

The second episode reminded me of the sluggish start (made slower by necessary explanations) as well as why I disliked Aaeru at the beginning. I was afraid she was going to be that stereotypical cocky upstart who blows everyone else away despite never touching a simoun before.

Well, I was afraid that Aaeru was going to be like Arika from Mai-Otome (a character whom I hate with a passion) and she ended as one of my favourite anime characters ever so I guess she has suprised pleasantly quite a lot of viewers.
