The characters' faces and names -- and a lot more information besides -- are also on the very useful English wikipedia page.

I've seen episode 8. Uhh...so many unexpected things. Including....

Spoiler:

that suicide bomber girl

Who did the music for this series. It is very good but also sounds a familar. What other shows did the composer do?

The main guy is Sahashi Toshihiko 佐橋俊彦 , who has a long list of credits including FMP, Gundam, Rizelmine, HunterxHunter, Gunslinger Girl, etc. The only reason it sounds familiar to me is that there are some classical pieces here and there that are either real pieces or so much like them that they sound it. I think the mujsic is totally outstanding, maybe the most effective I've ever heard, weird as it sometimes is.

He was the composer, and the producer was Nozaki Keiichi 野崎圭一 , who appears to have done a lot with him before, as well as other things.

Speaking of music, I like the tango-like music every now and then. There are some occassional soft rock-like music too.

Is the opening theme also by the same person. it is struck in my head now good thing i like it through.

Edit: Just to put in perspective how much i like the music in this series. Look at my avatar and my sig and consider yuri paring of pretty girls in this show. And all i am talking about is the music and haven't even said anything preverted yet.

No, the OP is by Ishikawa Chiaki, who sings it. I love it, too. And I like how Sahashi-sensei has used it as a theme in the sound track.

And don't forget to look at the Simoun music videos on YouTube, link posted earler by Simon.

41. Who are Rodoreamon's parents, and why is everyone so deferential to her? Neville is Halconf's daughter, but people don't call her ojou-sama as a result -- is that just because everyone already respects her for being the Sibylla Aurea? Are Rodoreamon and Onashia related?

42. Is there class conflict in Simulacrum? (Other than Mamiina, I mean.)

43. Does everyone in Simulacrum adhere to the religion of the Tempus Spatium, or are there minority religions? Are other religions suppressed?

44. What other political factions exist with in Simulacrum? Are there political dissidents?

45. I don't think I've ever seen either of the helical motors on the Arcus Prima spinning. What are they for?

46. Messis doesn't look like she has a helical motor, and Arcus Prima doesn't seem to use the ones that she has. How do they fly?

47. Argentum lost 15-20 carrier zeppelins in the first battle. What fraction of their fleet does that represent?

48. Is Daikuuriku the homeworld of the main characters, or is it a forgotten space colony?

Spoiler for episode 8:

49. Why were the Plumbish priestesses so motivated to carry out their suicide attack?

50. Did the male peace negotiators know what was going to happen?

Most of your questions will be unanswerable (at least at this time) or can only be answerable by pure speculation, but I believe Rodoreamon's actually a princess... but of what place or how high up her parents are, is anyone's guess.

I really really hope the piano version turns up on one of the OSTs. (Speaking of which I'm in Tokyo from the 18th-27th of this month, so I've set aside the morning of the 21st for lurking around Akihabara until the shops open. I'll try to take photos of any Simoun advertising I see while I'm there.)

Also, it's a bit late, but since this is my first post in a while thanks for the ep 8 sub! Truly a fantastic episode, and a worthy object of your labour.

Spoiler for miko behaving badly:

I don't think the other priestesses would approve, but Aeru has posed for the July issue of Megami (second pic from bottom: heed the warning at the start of the article). Well, she always was the wild child of the bunch...

Spoiler:

I think this pic proves that the technology fot the Simouns might be lost but the breast implant technology lives on in Simularcrum.

42. Is there class conflict in Simulacrum?

Spoiler for just in case:

I think it's extremely likely that there is. If only descendants of distinguished families normally become Sybillas, than it's not quite a stretch to assume that the case is the same for the other high-ranked priestess and they seem to hold a lot of power. I would assume there are a lot of people who feel like Mamina (maybe not in such a dramatic way, though )

It is a important piece of technology.

Name one society that doesn'thave class conflict.

Messis? the name of the temp. ship?

And, i dunno. But for me the Big Motor is still in function. Perhaps this typ of motor (size) has more layers inside.
Perhaps, the explosion destroy some layers on the side, and the ship somehow manage to airbone the corp....

and for episode 09...

Spoiler:

What me impressed the most, that Nevirill dont chose to attack the ship and destroy it. (Like i feel or seen in other faces). Instant she chose a path to end the killing...

Save retreat.

In the first thinking, i was surprised. I was expecting a attack and destroying the ship. But, in the end it was a wise desision.

I don't think Nevirill did it becuase she doesn't want to kill anyone. She did it because her ship was in trouble and needed to get away soon.

PS. I hope they explain why they are not fighting back against invaders by attacking the invading countries. They could end this war a lot sooner by destorying the other countries capital and thier leaders.

Spoiler:

The Argrntum shot Un-manned Flying Bomb !!

51.
Are these Argentum 's flying Bomb has Proximity fuze or V.T. Fuse (Magic fuse) and guided by gyro?
Similer to The Fieseler Fi 103/FZG-76 (Vergeltungswaffe-1, V-1), known as the Flying bomb)

Subtitle file for episode 9.

I couldn't help myself. Suggestions and corrections welcome.

Spoiler for ep9:

I think the dialogue suggests that they were not in position to attack the warship, and that carrying the Arcus Prima to safety in a Diamond Ri Maajon was the best way to save it. This is from things said by Sibylla and on the bridge of the Arcus. What's impressive to me is that Neviriru and Guraghief/Anubitouf came to the same conclusion independently: that there was no chance of attacking the warship, and that the Arcus couldn't get away on its own power.

Also from things said in ep9 -- that the Arcus Prima's helical motors were failing so it couldn't get away under its own power -- I conclude that the helical motores are its propulsive power. And I am still guessing that the Messis has them, too.
