Except for Nana, all the better-rated shows the post gave us are early-evening shows, rather than late-night ones, but Simoun is fairly low even for late-night. It dropped from 0.9 to 0.3 from week one to week two. As Bluwacky said in the Nana thread: "Presumably all the weird jargon and the lack of real fanservice put all the horny lesbian fanboys off." Partial first 2-3 weeks Oricon ratings from 2channel (2 weeks for most shows, some shows started a week earlier): NANA 6.2 5.6 Simoun 0.9 0.3 (my favorite other than NANA and Suzumiya Haruhi) Gintama 5.6 5.1 Ouran Host Club 2.1 3.0 Air Gear 2.3 1.5 Love Game CHU 1.3 0.9 Spider Riders 0.9 1.1 Inukami 1.5 1.6 .hack//Roots 1.0 0.7 Zegapain 2.2 2.3 Witchblade 1.5 1.7 Fushigiboshi no Futagohime 4.0 4.4 3.1 Shoujo Changeum 5.3 6.3 Futari wa Precure Splash Star 7.7 8.2 7.8 Kiba 2.0 2.8 3.5 Digimon savers 5.6 6.3 5.9 Onegai My Melody 5.6 4.6 6.4 ARIA The NATURAL 1.6 0.9 2.1 School Rumble 2 1.8 1.3 2.3 Oricon posts the top ten free, but for deeper info we depend on someone with access to the paid info posting on 2channel. As for what I said about favorites, I think I rate my three favorites as Suzumiya Haruhi, Simoun, and Nana, in that order.

The First reason add more proofment
Aael said at Episode 2 "I'm was traing Sybulla in the front in the southern part". Moreover, the guess that it is a near southern part works out the front the hometown village in two step logic (It is not easy ..practice life.. to think about in a place extremely far from the village in the hometown) because of there are one story matter Last edited by Yui from Okinawa; 2006-04-28 at 07:42. |

Oh, and that should be "Love Get Chu", not "Game". |

Maybe the problem is that guys like SF and girls like relationships and too few people like both. As I said before, I tend to like SF by women, maybe because it does include more about relationships. The name of that other anime is RabugetCHU Mirakuru Seiyuu Hakusho. I think rabuge is short for "Love Game". So I think the title means: "Love Game KISS Miracle Seiyuu White Paper." I have no idea what "white paper" means in this context, but I've seen it used this way before. That show is based on a cell-phone game. I just saw episode 4, and enjoyed it, but the show isn't really very good. I think the game company is called RabugetCHU (Love Game KISS).

What a low rating... And the rating dropped from 0.9 to 0.3 after this amazing first episode. Well, you can't argue about personal taste but I am quite puzzled by these numbers. I guess most yuri fanboys switched to following Strawberry Panic instead.

We can follow Simoun AND Strawberry Panic! But is there a problem to have a low rating ? I hope not. |

Personally, I don't care about the ratings. As gratifying as it is to know that many others share your preferences, it's not an absolute necessity. I've been writing in the Eureka 7 thread when pretty much nobody visited it here and the shows ratings were quite abysmal, and I've done it gladly.
It doesn't matter if the Japanese people like it or not. As long as I like it, I'm following the show. After all, each one of us here is watching it for our own sake, not for the sake of someone else we must please. 8) The ratings only play a role when a long-running show is shown in prime-time. Long-running shows are costly as they are, and prime time slot makes them even constlier. Thus, if the show is not generating enough ratings (and thus, not enough advertising revenue) it can be cancelled. Prime time is a coveted time range and if the show is underperforming, there is no need to keep it there. But, to repeat myself, it only happens to long-running shows. Simoun shouldn't be able to generate more than 13/26 episodes and it runs late at night. So, who gives a hoot, really? |

In general, MrProphet is right. If we like the show, it doesn't matter if anyone else does. But there is one thing: the more people who watch a show, the more shows like it will be made, and the more work by the members of the cast and staff we will see.
I did check out 2channel to see how much attention it is getting there, among the otaku, and it's faring better: it's toward the top of the mid-ranking shows. By number of threads (i.e., thousands of posts): Suzumiya Haruhi 94 Higurashi 28 Utawarerumono 13 Inukami 10 MagiPoka 10 Ouran Host Club 10 School Rumble2 10 .hack//Roots 9 Simoun 9 Aria – The Natural 7 Gintama 7 Strawberry Panic 7 Witchblade 7 Zegapain 7 Black Lagoon 6 Air gear 5 Miracle Seiyuu 3 Nana 3 Xxxholic 3 Good Witch of the West 2 Saiunkoku 2 Yume Tsukai 2 The most interesting thing to me here is how low Nana is among the otaku, compared to how big the overall audience is for it.

The hypothesis the birth of the planet "Sky Land"
The birth of all human-beings as the woman, and to a constant age the world where it is decided whether like the woman or it is a man and to exist. Then, how do it give birth to a child naturally, and the doubt of the selection of the character and the relation to birth is caused.
If it is one-side, and Shimuon Sibylla. Aael said "I'm neither not a man or woman. " Even if the effect of the female hormone "Estrogen" that there is an expression reaches, the doubt of selecting the woman as the living thing again ..birth ability.. is caused. - hypothesis A- (a lot of theories) When they goes to fountain and sex is fixed, and it starts and the birth ability is caused. It is not possible to give birth if sex is not fixed. Only the effect of Estorojen as the girl. -hypothesis B- (small number of theories) The Fountain, and the change to the man is begun only by the person who selects a man. Therefore, it matures as it is as a woman, and birth is also possible if it leaves the society when the fountain is refused and it lives. -Exercise (drill)- She goes to the fountain, "Halconna". has become a male .(Man: "Halconf ") However, it turned out the pregnancy of the girl ("Neviril") ahead of that by the ter and conduct doing with the partner. -hypothesis A- It is started to go to hypothesis- A , fountain, generates the birth ability, and this exercise is impossible. -hypothesis B- It is possible to give birth to the amount to be fertilized and to have conceived only by the change's with the male hormone (androgen) starting even if it went to hypothesis B fountain and a man was selected till then. However, the fertilization thereafter of the change to the man is stopping temporarily impossible by working of the Progesterone- hormone. The male hormone is activated to prolactin professional's decrease and substitution as soon as birth and the suckling end and the change to the man restarts.

I'm pleased they're saying OST 1, because four episodes in there already seems to be too much good music for a single CD (my credit card isn't so pleased, but it'll just have to cope). Quote:
As fans we need to consciously think about where we put our energy and our yen, and support shows we believe in. If anything, the ratings we're seeing for Simoun just make me care more about doing my bit to promote it (which includes putting my money where my mouth is when the merchandise comes out). Maybe I'm just too fond of the show to be objective, but I don't believe the low numbers are due to any lack of quality - instead, they just prove that here's an anime brave enough to go in its own direction. We need more shows like this! (I'd also like to think the numbers show that Simoun fans are a refined elite, but then I did admit to watching Joshikōsei a few pages back...) Quote:
And now for something completely different, I spotted these Simoun production drawings up for auction on YJ. According to someone who buys that sort of stuff, they're probably a collection of photocopied sheets that the studio distributes to its animators (I guess the red stamp on the cover sheet is a non-disclosure warning). What's interesting is the text next to the Aeru line-art. Even just reading the kana I can make out シムーン・エクエア ("Simoun Equea"?) and the phrase ネヴィリルのメイト ("Neviril's mate"). I'm not sure what the former refers to, but the latter makes me wonder if パル really is "pal" rather than "pair" - in Commonwealth English at least, "mate" means friend just like pal does. Perhaps they changed it at the last minute to avoid people assuming something more mammalian?
