Neviril and Amuria are such a cute couple. It's too bad we didn't get to see more of them together. Though I get that it had to happen this way, and I do like a tragic romance!

I like how even the men are voiced by actresses in this.

They shouldn't have been sent out while believing that the Simoun couldn't ever be brought down.

...Amuria was incredibly reckless, wanting to perform the Emerald Ri Maajon straight away. Though things got much more dangerous later, so wanting to try something powerful and risky made more sense. Anyway, RIP Amuria. She owned her screentime.

It's too bad the one with the messy hair and crescent moon earrings wanted to become a man because of wanting to be gallant like Paraietta. Not that it was wrong to make a decision to be male, but why does gallantry have to be seen as male?

I remember Aaeru annoying me in my first watch of Simoun, but I bet I'm going to like her this time around. She knows how to make an entrance. Come to think of it, Neviril annoyed me first time around too, but hopefully not this time.

Had one ever been brought down before, though? They are machines, so of course they can be damaged, but the belief seems pretty ingrained that the 'chariots of the gods' are untouchable/unbeatable. How much of that is propaganda - cause it sure helps for the enemy to be super scared of them - and how much is plain fact. Because no one could damage them until now, when the enemy has built up their technology and firepower to the point where they're capable of posing a real threat.

It's not a surprise that priestesses would think that, but the higher-ups were planning to send them to war. It seems careless, unless they also believed that the Simoun were invincible. Which they might have. OTOH somebody should have been keeping track of the enemy's tech progress, and presumably the people working with the Simoun are aware that they could, say, crash if the priestesses screwed up.
