Simoun English Sub & Dub

About Simoun

Here is what Simoun is about, retold in plain terms: a fantasy, romance and drama anime by Studio Deen (2006). What the story covers: In the peaceful theocracy of Simulicram, everyone is born female. At age 17, each maiden undergoes a special ceremony where she chooses her sex.

Another thread: However, only Pairs of maiden priestesses can synchronize with the age-old flying ships known as Simoun needed to defend Simulicram. These Pairs refrain from undergoing the ceremony as long as they wish to keep piloting their Simoun. Aer is recruited to be a Simoun pilot after a terrifying attack by a foe nation decimates the squadron known as Chor Tempest.

In a fantasy series like this, world-building, magic systems and creature design set the tone. This one is best suited to fans of magic, kingdoms and invented worlds.
