Line #2 YMMV/Simoun

Context YMMV / Simoun

Go To


1	* EnsembleDarkhorse: Yun, Mamiina, and Rodoreamon have become the undisputed fan favourites, as has their subplot in general.
2	* HarsherInHindsight: Angulas' refusal to say Aaeru's name when introduced to her was kind of amusing, right? Not so much when they [[MeaningfulName reveal why]]...
3	* GenreTurningPoint: What ''VisualNovel/YamiToBoushiToHonNoTabibito'' and ''Manga/DestinyOfTheShrineMaiden'' did for popular acclaim of {{Yuri}} anime, ''Simoun'' did for critical acclaim.
4	* HilariousInHindsight: The concept of the world's civilization being entirely female is later joked by the fandoms on [[Anime/LoveLive another anime]]...
5	* NightmareFuel: In the second episode, after visiting the Spring for her gender assignment, one of the former Sibyllae of Chor Tempest leaves with this devastated look on her face. She starts to cry, and then collapses amid screaming tears. Since she still couldn't make up her mind after entering the spring, [[BodyHorror it chose for her]].
6	* SpiritualLicensee: It can be described as an anime version of ''Literature/ACanticleForLeibowitz.'' With added LesYay.
7	* SubbingVersusDubbing: Actually, more of a Subbing Versus ''Other'' Subbing. With a two year delay between its airing in Japan and its DVD release in North America (Although incredibly fast [[NoExportForYou when compared to some other Anime]]) there was already a fansub circulating on-line (and a few episodes' worth of a second) before an official version was presented. None differ from the others in any significant ways, but neither can ''any'' agree on the proper ways to spell the characters names, and there are many different ways to "really" translate certain sentences.
8	* ThreesomeSubtext: Yun, Mamiina and Rodreamon. Alternatively, Yun, Dominura and the Onashia. Actually...most pairings involving Yun end up being this.
9	* TheWoobie:
10	** Neviril, who loses her partner in the first episode and is left traumatized for a significant portion of the series.
11	** Rodoreamon, a gentle and demure girl who is very much ''not'' cut out to be fighting in a war. She is also hit particularly hard by the death of [[spoiler:Mamiina]], given that [[spoiler:the two were particularly close]].
12	** Paraietta, whose tough exterior conceals a ''lot'' of severe self-esteem issues.
