Simoun may not have been a smash hit, but it was fairly well received and got a few spinoffs despite its premise.

* AudienceAlienatingPremise: Try explaining to someone why they should watch a series set in a ConstructedWorld where everyone is born female but magically chooses their permanent gender before adulthood if they aren't both a SpeculativeFiction fan and a YuriFan. Then try getting them to continue watching after they realize that instead of lighthearted girl-girl fanservice, the series is a dramatic exploration of faith, religion, war trauma, growing up, and difficult life choices. Is it any wonder that this anime barely made it out of the country of origin?

* DarknessInducedAudienceApathy: When a show builds three episodes in a row around the defeated heroes being treated like crap and never getting a chance to strike back, you know you're in danger of this.

nope! Plumbum extracts a nigh-unconditional surrender and the territory division is sending the land straight back towards war in the final episode
Deleted line(s) 6 (click to see context) :
* NarmCharm: ''Simoun'' has a bombastic, frankly ridiculous, and at the same time entirely appropriate climax: [[spoiler: the HeelFaithTurn of the Plumbish nation]]. It is so great partly ''because'' it is so overblown and melodramatic. See the concept of 'eucatastrophe' (first described by Creator/JRRTolkien) for more on this.
