I started to watch this series but found it fantastically boring and laden with over the top drama.
I thought I would enjoy it because of it's sci-fi, but got discouraged at discovering that no one knew what the simoune were. (I usually need answers fast, or some interesting subplot to distract me until they are given).
I might give it a second shot though, I've watched worse.
Well, if nothing else, at least it's shorter than E7!
The primary mystery of the setting is the origin of the Simoun: divine gift or just found technology? Arguments go both ways. By the time you get to the end, if you care more about THAT than the characters, you're going to be disappointed. It will both answer the question and not answer the question.
I thought the characters were genderless until they reach 17. I've never seen the series, so I can't know for sure...
But if you want to see an anime where the characters don't look like their age, you should watch Manabi Straight. They're supposed to be in high school but they look like they're 10. How lovely.
That's got to be one of the weirder plots I've heard of in an anime. But yeah, Japan seems to have a problem when it comes to making girls look as old as they're supposed to be, lol.
That was an enjoyable review!
