Well, I guess to each his own...or something like that.
I watched thru both SP and Simoun...

I was introduced to the manga of SP first, was impressed, then anticipated the anime...which totally flopped for me.

Simoun, on the other hand, was dangling right in front of me with all the nice chinese fansubs but I took a month before picking it up, just because I had nothing better to do. I was initially put off by the drawing and massive new info of their world...but oh well..i ended up waiting for raws every tuesday.

Just compare the final eps and I know I made a right choice by skimming thru SP. Just the dialogue of Shizuma at the church made me cringe hard. Taiwan dramas show something similar...

If simoun was "manipulating" me into watching it, then i guess i was manipulated. but aren't shows supposed to "draw" us into their world?
