The suns are close together - which isn't surprising, since they'd be a binary pair (orbiting their mutual centre of gravity) - so there wouldn't be any significant difference to the day/night cycle. There probably would be interesting effects on people's shadows, though... |

Simoun isn't even yuri (to me), so I think it's a bit off-topic here, but I'll play along.
I, for one, just want an anime or manga that has interesting characters, a good story, and something that'll have an effect on me and stay with me after it's done. If yuri happens to be included in that, then fine; it's neither an incentive nor a deterrant. I simply cannot understand why someone would watch a show simply because it's yaoi or yuri, or complain simply because it isn't. Is the quality of the stuff that matters completely irrelevant anymore? |

Even if the story is awesome, I just can't watch it because of its genre. It's like people who never give a try to shoujo or shounen... But I guess some threads are like that : give your thought and get a kick *sigh* |

Of course the quality matters but you can't pick what to watch based on the actual quality of it since you don't know in advance whether you appreciate it or bash it as overrated, so you go for elements that you think you will like, be it yaoi, yuri, mecha or just good old fanservice. Why bother checking out something that is supposed to be quality but according to its description it has things you don't like watching at all - let's say it's a harem series?

I do this quite often, actually. The most recent example being Kanon, which I'm currently loving to pieces. From the descriptions and heresay, it sounded like every other bishoujo series ever made. But, people kept insisting that it was good, and they were people who generally know what they're talking about, so I gave it a shot. I don't really like mecha, but I love Evangelion. I don't really like space opera, but I love Crest of the Stars. I don't really like harem, but I love Love Hina. I don't really like mystery, but I love Higurashi. I don't really like mahou shoujo/shounen, but I love Negima. I don't really like yuri, but I love Simoun. Maybe I'm just weird. |

I was thinking about watching this anime, but i didn't get to it.
So is this a happy ending one? Is this another one where the main couple seems to be embarassed by almost everything that seems to have emotion in it or when their bodies get close or touch in any way? Also is this where they go out early and date trough out or in the end? |

It's quite popular and needs no advertising; I'm merely suggesting it here because people who like Simoun obviously enjoy interesting character-based affairs, and I think Kanon is relevant to these interests. |

(Interesting facet of the relevant fandom is that yaoi fans are mostly girls while yuri has half guys and half girls "at least" in East Asia, unlike seemingly prevalent Western misunderstanding like "most of yuri fans are guys.") Apparently, they look as if many because the genre of yuri has grown recently and there are outstanding fanatics. Yuri is still a minor genre. Also yaoi seems much bigger than yuri in novel and manga, and does not fall behind so much in anime. See what yaoi clamed for 2005,2006 : Loveless, Skisiou, Gakuen Heaven, while yuri had : KnM, Kashimashi, Simoun, Stopani. And the only anime title that can be called a hit among yuri is Marimitte. |

JediNight, the big discussion of the ending is some pages back and you'd better read it if you want more detailed opinions but I can understand your frustration.
