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…
