(OTOH, having listened to the dialogue all weekend, it really does sound like they're saying "Call"....) Chor Tempest? What do people think? |

Chor? Come on, I'd like to believe that the seiyuus wouldn't pronounce this as "call" or "core" . Same for choir.

Here's a question for someone with better Kanji and Katakana comprehension: on simoun.tv, is the term spelled "ka-ru" or "ko-ru"? |

Yui, thank you for posting the OP/ED lyrics! Amazon shipped my CDs on Saturday, but it's great being able to read along to the OP video in the meantime (even though I don't know many of the kanji, just reading the kana helps). Quote:

So it seems the only two names left outstanding are ドミヌーラ Dominūra and マミーナ Mamiina. By elimination, do they match these two characters from the OP? Mystery face 1 (00:46) / Mystery face 2 (01:02) I've also gleaned a couple of interesting tidbits reading the AOD Simoun thread. People there have drawn parallels with the sci-fi novels Commitment Hour and The Left Hand of Darkness - both sound quite relevant. More significantly, Spoiler:

This fits our earlier speculation that not all Ri Maajon are for combat - if you replace "ceremony" with "ritual" in what I just quoted, you can imagine the Sybilla creating Ri Maajon for all sorts of religious purposes. But then again, maybe their history is one of being warrior-priestesses and the term corps has been handed down from that tradition. Finally, I was thinking about the nature of Ri Maajon themselves: origins lost in the mists of time, a few hundred basic elements that combine in a mind-boggling number of ways... Hey, they sound just like kanji!

Desu?
That was one funny glitch. 8) I am officially freaked out by the fact that men in Simoun-land have feminine voices. And I don't mean just the bishounen like the commander, but everyone. It's just weird. Add that to the fact that some men seem to have breasts (like Waporif), and this show makes for a bit of a disorienting watch. I liked episode 4, but still doesn't click with me as far as the whole series is concerned. I wish they'd introduce at least some elements of a major plot line, instead of just doing character interaction or establishing the world. Which is important as well, but now it's really taking away from the plot. Also, what's wrong with Morinas? She didn't seem so playful last time? She seemed strong, determined, dedicated in her goals. But now she is smooching with Aael AND she can't hangle piloting a Simoun? Spoiler:
Next week: another Rimone episode. |

Nice to see Rimone in a central role in episode four and I think I like Aeru more and more.

episode 4 raw
I guess I'm just bewitched by this series. The supposedly slow development doesn't bother me in the least. And the feminine men's voices are a wonderful way of making us feel the alienness of the world. Episode 4 was so different that it just opened up the series to a whole other dimension for me.
I don't think the thing with Aaeru's eyes was a glitch. They must have intended it, it was so obvious. What the explanation is, though, I do not know. Just one more mystery.... Morinasu's apparent incompetence seemed reasonable to me: Aaeru tempted her into doing something she was not really trained for. Aaeru doesn't understand that other people need training. When she sat in a Simoun for the first time, she piloted so well that Neviril was amazed. On the official site, it says that Rimone is exceptional, too. Morinasu was playful in both episodes she's been featured in, but I agree she seemed different. I'm thinking it may be different staff...I just checked and it's partly true: the episode director (enshutsu 演出) and animation director (sakuga kantoku 作画監督) have been new people for every episode so far. And a new storyboard person this week, too, as there was last week. We're back to the same scriptwriter as the first two episodes, though. (Info from this page of the official site.) The music continues to be so weird that it's wonderful. The theme under the whole episode in the woods helped make it seem less serious than it might have. I guess some might feel it detracted from the tension. I felt it adding magic. Like I say, I'm bewitched. The only slight disappointment I had was that I really couldn't get into Noto-kawaii's voicing of Rimone. It just didn't quite work for me -- maybe because I kept hearing the woman herself, instead of the character. But I do have a few more watches to get used to it, lol. And I agree that I like Aaeru more and more. It took me a while to get used to her VA, Niino Michi, but I sure am now. (Please let me know if I should spoiler any of this.)

Saw episode two.
A drastic improvement in both animation and soundtrack qualities from episode one. There were more variety in the background tracks played, and this time I could perceive that the Simoun CGI effects blended suitably with the watercolor landscape. Even I could feel inside the cockpit observing the Simoun flying by.
I really did not feel anything out of the norm with Neville's flashback of Amuria greeting her as her pair with the kiss. On the contrary, I felt it something natural like a formality from Amuria to greet her pair and welcome her, though I won't deny that Neville could have felt a connection to Amuria. Aeru is solid about staying 'Simoun Simula' until the war is won. She's an interesting character within the all-broke-out war theme, unlike other main protagonists, she's got a plain morality about enemies always been enemies. Henceforth, she's not distressed about fighting to death or having to take enemies' lives in the battlefield. However, I'm not fond for her hasty and reckless attitude about her views on the war for the start. Though its necessary so as for her to grow up, learning sooner or later that the invader nation are driven by need or motivated to retrieve Simoun technology. Then, I continue with Paraietta who brings to me memories of Mai-Otome because her voicing is done by Ami Koshimizu, sounding exactly alike to Nina Wong. Lastly, for my last impression I think that Erif overreacted after coming out from the spring. As a girl, 'he' could just had remained a Simula until the war was won thus giving 'him' more time to properly reflect about 'his' choice. The elders commented that they cannot force the Simula's decision to go to the spring, furthering evidence that nobody partaked in 'his' decision. 'He' simply went to the spring as felt obligated to carry on the ritualistic tradition. 'He' did not take into thought seriously the pros and cons of whether becoming man or staying as a woman. It was the pressure that stressed 'him' and strained 'his' future vision just because 'he' had to visit the spring as a must-do duty. A note to Doremi fansubs: You made a mistake with the age. After turning 17, the girls decide whether or not to visit the spring to choose their gender. Juunana sai means seventeen-years-old from Japanese Romaji. |
