There was just so much going on for me to watch and then there was the huge backlog. Oh how the downloads took forever... At first Simoun seemed like just a slow but well developed show, but after watching just a few more episodes I finally realized how deep it is. I really can't compare it to any other series. Every developement seemed needed, and nothing uneeded was added. Not to mention amazing characters... Not one I don't like anymore. Of course number one will always be Mamiina... In anycase, Simoun has managed to become one of my top anime now. And personally, I think it's the best of both seasons it aired. Actually... I really need to look over my top anime list in my mind now. Simoun could qualify for number one. I need to rewatch this from episode one, soon.

Simoun can be seen as having this theme as one of it's main points. For me, I think that their choice was not right nor wrong, but just the embodiment of an ideal.

I lean more to the line of thought that it is better to be miserable for the right reason than to be happy for the wrong reason. Choices should be made for...good reason...and I don't consider the refusal to make a choice a decision at all. The dream for a infinitely long deferal from choice doesn't seem to be a very responsible dream. It just seem like stasis and a delusion. Yeah as you can see I'm just a tad bitter about growing up! Wait a minute...is Geneon considering licensing Marimite? Or was that just a demand that IF Geneon was to license another yuri series that it be Simoun?

They are becoming one with the universe, while everyone else (including us) is scuffling along in the so-called real world. They didn't seem very unhappy, did they? I can’t see it as a mistake.

Actually they are, were, will be heading in the opposite direction of the goal or is denial the new moe? So basically they missed the point. By a mile.

For me, though, I prefer to think of it as an embodiment of an ideal, of being eternally a 'maiden'. It might not be the best choice, or even the correct one, but it certainly is a dream that many hope for, and Neviril & Aaeru embodied this dream for them, the Chor Tempest.

We saw her start on the graffiti in the last episode (maybe two episodes ago --- when they were having their last fling on the <i>Arcus Prima</i>), so it's her work. I agree that sending Aeru and Neville off has the role of fixing that moment in time. But it's kind of ironic --- they're eternally young in a ghost world, while all the other girls are growing up and making their mark on the world: Rodoreamon arguing before the council (in some sense fuliflling the role that Neville was being groomed for), Paraietta running an orphanage, Morinas raising a family, Limone and Dominura founding a religion. In a sense, I view Neville and Aeru's choice as a negative, a sort of Peter-Pan rejection of maturity, while the others accepted it, and are reaping the fruits of doing so.
