Simoun Finale

What an ending.
No answers. Just endings.
We are shown what happens to the lives of our 12 siyuras, past and present.
The melancholic tone used throughout the episode makes even what should be happy seem tinged with sadness. No answers, just a revelation of the consequences of their choices, and viewers can decide what was done right or wrong.
What is tempus spatium? Where are dominura and limone? What about Amuria? What happens to the simouns now, since there is yet another war brewing? What exactly are simouns?
Well, those lazy cunning scriptwritters have just left it all up to the viewers... Sweet.

In the other world, Dominura decides to fly again, with Limone. As they leave hand in hand, their friend spots shiny flakes left behind...


Years (I assume) after, Floe or Floef (cos she's a male now) resides by the lake where arcus prima had fallen, growing vegetables. War is coming again and he and Viyura/f have been drafted into the military of opposite countries.

Rodaemon seems to have taken over her family business.

And still missing Mamina...

The twins have buried the hatchet and now live happily together with their father. Glad to see that.

Hehe. One of my favourite couple in the show and i guess, probably one of the more fortunate ones too. Waporif and Morinas ( i thought she wanted to be a guy...XD) married and expecting their second child already!!! They look happy and good together...

Waporif finally looks like a guy... a handsome one too..

Yun... i still have no idea why she chose to take over Onashia... She looks sooo lonely in that oversized indoor "swimming pool".

Of course, our resident bishounens of the show. They get prettier as time passes... ooohh those glasses...

I think the most astonishing change in characters has to be Paraetta's. From shocking me in her choice to be female and to this... Running an orphanage, sponsored by Rodaemon that takes in orphans from the war. Such a motherly Paraetta is...unnerving...But i think i like it.

At the end, Floe says they helped Neviril and Aeru escape is a gesture of rebellion against the movement of time. That, after everything, they're just afraid of adulthood, of being forced to grow up. Their hopes are pinned on Neviril and Aeru. As proof that they have existed and are still here. That is... they are their forever maidens. 永远的少女.


So, what happened to those two?

XD
They're here, there, everywhere.
They're in the past, present and future.
It seems...
They have become one with Tempus spatium.

Simoun 24-25

So i skipped 2 or 3 eps. Because these 2 eps are great!
Their country lost the war, and the sivyuras have to go to the lake/pool/spring wateva, to have their sex changed.
But Neviril and Aeru are not going!!! They wanna go to the other world.
but Aeru is reluctant bcos she thought Neviril wanna go there to find Amuria. So, Neviril confess her love. In a very blunt way... with a poker face.

And in ep 25 Aeru beat that fantastic confession with an absolute ignorant question:
"Tell me. Why my heart hurts? you should know."
...
"it's bcos of koi(love)"

XD hahahahahaha~~~~

Their confessions of love are so flat it is hilarious.

Gundam Seed CE73 Stargazer Stage II

Ouch! Stabbed to death. Multiple times. Living her last moments in absolute fear.


How terrifying. How sucky.

Cool moves from Strike Noir

Gundam Seed CE73 Stargazer Stage I

Even though it's only 15 min, with a smack in the middle plot that i can't take seriously, i really like the directing of stargazer. I mean, for all the 100+ eps fukuda managed, not once could he make a zaku or grunt suit look so stylish and dangerous, with mere usage of lights and shadows.

Simoun Ep 19

Who would’ve thought, a simple recon mission would lead to tragedy. They weren’t supposed to meet enemy resistance. They weren’t supposed to have to engage. They weren’t supposed to be captured. They weren’t supposed to die.

But they did meet enemy’s resistance on discovery of a secret base. And Neviril's simoun was shot down.Mamina and injured Neviril were surrounded.


The priestesses from the enemy alliance somehow chose to save Mamina and Neviril. However, knowing that if they allowed both of them to escape, they themselves would be killed, Mamina chose to stay.

She leaves with saying "A-E-Ru". It bewilders me though, that the priestesses seemed very anguished.

Aeru sees Mamina lying unmoving on the deck and became very VERY agitated, in contrast to what happened after Dominura and the loli disappeared.

And of course. Rodaraemon was beyond grief. How would you feel if one moment you were happily tieing different hairstyles for one another and the next, before you know it, your beloved friend is gone forever. The shock, the pain...the loss. And it was just a simple recon mission.

In memory of Mamina. Throughout the show, she has grown from an ambitious soldier to a empathetic comrade. Her growing attachment to her Ojou-sama had gave me high hopes of where it would've led. And her departure makes it much of a regret. Adieu.


Damned. It was all angsty and character development, I forgot they were in the middle of a war. And in wars, people die…

Simoun Ep 18

Under pressure for being incompetent and driven by jealousy over Neviril and Aeru's recent closeness, Paraetta finally goes bonkers and jumps Neviril.

But unfortunately, Neviril's not really enjoying it.


This episode was slow and went back to showing us the feelings of the characters. Yun is more and more suspicious of the military. Neviril and Aeru take another step forward as Aeru shares with her her grandfather's theory of an alternate universe. Paraetta finally snaps and attacks Neviril. but Neviril gave up resisting once she realised it was futile and just stayed motionless. That made Para-sama wake up and ran off. She just ran off!!! What has the war done to her? And Rodo and Mamina have a more intimate conversation...And a deeper connection. Awww... that's so cute.

Simoun Ep17

Neviril snaps out of her depression and snogs Aeru?

Don't worry girl, you're not the only bewildered one here...

New simouns...New ENEMY simouns

A dead pilot that should have been dead long ago, buried somewhere else. What is she doing piloting the enemy simoun?

So many questions, so few answers. With two of their members MIA, chor tempest is once again crippled. But at least seeing the emerald remergion again has made Neviril wake up, even though her new found enthusiasm in strengthening the relationship with her partner is confusing. Well, at least she has her confidence back now. And good timing I say, as we can see the military of the country FINALLY trying to show that they exist. And they are such jerks.
