description Simoun Overview
The verdant, peaceful country of Simulacrum resides on the planet of Daikuuriku. The country owes its existence to flying machines called Simoun and their holy Sibylla pilots. Powered by ancient artifacts, these ships can utilize Ri Maajon, frighteningly powerful abilities that can tear the very sky apart. Aaeru is a wilful girl who joins the ranks of the Sibylla priestesses at Chor Tempest in hopes of being able to pilot a Simoun one day.
But soon after she enlists, Simulacrum is plunged into a war, as hostile nations desperately try to claim the technology for themselves.
help Simoun FAQ
Why can only the Sibyllae pilot Simoun aircraft?
Simoun are sacred two-seat machines flown by pairs of priestesses who have not yet chosen a permanent sex. The pilots synchronize closely enough to draw Ri Maajon patterns in the sky.
What is a Ri Maajon in Simoun?
A Ri Maajon is a glyph traced by two Simoun aircraft pilots through coordinated flight. Some patterns are ceremonial, while others unleash enough power to destroy enemy formations.
How does gender work on Simoun's planet?
People on Daikuuriku are born with female bodies and later travel to the Spring to select a permanent sex. Remaining a Sibylla postpones that choice, tying military service directly to identity and adulthood.
How long is Simoun, and who produced it?
Simoun is an original 26-episode television anime from 2006. Studio Deen produced it under director Junji Nishimura, with Aaeru and Neviril at the center of Chor Tempest.
