Comments on: Simoun - 26 - Paraietta is a true artist http://psgels.blogsome.com/2006/09/26/simoun-26-paraietta-is-a-true-artist/ An anime blog covering a large variety of series, both popular and underrated.

Ano Hi was solid but this show avoided the obnoxious over acting that kills drama laiden shows. It also delivered a very engaging premise with a lot of different threads that actually worked out well. I do wish they used a different character style though. The rounded, soft looks of all the characters doesn't jive well with me. Compared to a show like Ano Hi Mita Hana, Simoun actually delivered the dealing with coming of age and death a lot better.

I just wanted to say that this was probably one of the most enjoyable shows I have had the pleasure of watching. It was just beautiful. And... Well, the ending gave me that happy/sad feeling which comes from knowing that the show is over and 'that's all, folks!' But it isn't a bad feeling. Not really. =) Well, I don’t have much to add.

My theory is this: She is in fact more than likely Onashia. It is wise to say this is what she probably saw in the simoun too. (However we can't rule out the possibility that it was someone else from Chor Dextra. Yes Dominura was said to be the last "survivor" but since up until late in the game it wasn't really said that people didn't die creating the time hole, perhaps a few of those maidens did in point of fact get the same fate. So the true identity of Onashia may not be Dominura so much as someone in her old company. However, to keep with the other theory: If we look back to what (current Onashia/Dominura) said to Yuna, it was: She neither went to another world, NOR did she become an eternal maiden. This leads me to believe that Dominura stayed in the current world where her and Limone fell, and Limone left to become an eternal maiden herself to venture into other worlds. I think the ending when Dominura actually (at the last minute) came to Limone, signifies that she changed her own future! And the particles were not symbolic of what she would become, but symbolic of what she was going to change about her own impending fate by deciding to fly with Limone after all.

Remember, this planet is single gender only..so maybe one of our time-traveling pairs were able to change society from female only births to male and female births. No visits to the Spring..or..surgeries at birth in some countries is needed anymore. Paraieta’s nursery had both girls and boys playing side by side.

Dominura and Limone have travelled to the past. Actually, they are the ones who originally taught the people about how to fly a Simoun in the past, so that the whole story really starts from there. A typical time loop of causality... Just need to clarify one thing. Dominura and Limone have travelled to the past.

Knowwing much about the character's after they left their Sibyllae's role. Also the suggestions about Aeru and Neviril... This anime is great, I thought it was a little bit excessive at the beggining when I saw Sibyllaes kissing before flying, but when the story came to the point of travelling through time and space...It really becomes great, dreaming and make spectator thinking a lot... What to say but this anime is the greater I saw since a long long time...Concepts about war, life, religion, becoming an adult (or choose not to become it entirely),possibilities of traveling into several dimensions are well exposed here, and it makes the story more realistic that a lot of other. I think also we can easily identify ourselves in some character and our world in the one of Simoun. And have you ever heard or red about 'black hole'? Some dreamers said that if a humanbeing could go through one of them, he may arrive into another dimension. And the black fuul circle which is on the top of the emerald rii-maajon made me think about a black hole.

I am only watching Sola (for a simple matter of name, as it reminds of my own nick :p) Sorry if i revive this old threads.

She indeed started out annoying, but when she started growing and developing her character, I easily became a fan of her. ^^; And Dominüra being Onashia is an interesting theory. You could be right, actually, though it's been a bit too long ago since I saw this anime.

Maybe it's a bit too yury at the first sight and many people could be scared by that. If you endure this first shock you find many good and not easy themes to be developed very cleverly: the fall from deity, the reasons of war seen from the point of view of the "villanin", the coming of age of the children who must face war and suffering, the theme of time/space paradox end much more. I liked a lot all the caracters and was very sad when Mamiina died. My fav char is Floe (what a shock when she choose to become a man! I didn't expect it at all). I disliked Aareu a bit as she's too rough and unpolite. (now i know many people will shoot at me ^^"). To answer the question of the other users of the forum, here's my personal interpretation: >what happened to Amuria? Sad to say it, but she's OUT, KAPUTT, burned down ecc ecc... in other words dead :p >and mamiina's body it was shot on purpouse by the "enemy" sybillae so that mamiina could rest in a the field of flowers and reamain the noble sybilla she deserved to be, instead of being buried in her hometown as a normal citizen. >Aaeru and Nevril ended far in the future dancing in the relic of the Arcus Primae I'm not sure of this: the dance seemed to me a recall of the old times as Floef goes away. In the last scene with Limone (niiice girl she became :Q__) she happened to see a simoun coming down from the sky... More about Linone and Dominura... i'm not sure Limone was leaving "particles" behind, but Dominura was indeed. She also had problems with her arm in the preceeding scene no? Moreover isn't Dominura the real identity of Onashia? Onashia told Yun she's the last survivor of Chor Dextra, but we know that dominura is from chor Dextra as well! What Dominura saw in the empty Helix of the simoun couldn't be her "future" self as onashia? This was the most original show i saw recently.

it was shot on purpouse by the “enemy” sybillae so that mamiina could rest in a the field of flowers and reamain the noble sybilla she deserved to be, instead of being buried in her hometown as a normal citizen.

She did disappear, which suggests that she went somewhere, but the Emerald Ri Maajon failed, suggesting that her body was taken by Tempus Patiem, or something in that direction. Futaba: I think I know who you're talking about. It's surprising, as their relationship never really was developed. I think that's why the creators decided not to show her identity.

To clarify the previous post I was just saying that Yun didn't become a woman and stayed a maiden. As for Mamina's body it was found by enemy priestess after the crash,so it may have been properly buried. I also always thought that Amuria died on first ep,after all she couldn't have been time-traveled with an incomplete remergion + she had her cockpit open when the incident occurred.
