The second big A-ER-U scene in Simoun almost matches the first for impact, which is saying something.

This show approaches religious faith very levelly. That is, the different sects depicted aren't scams, but nor are they provably 'right', still less D&D-style make-prayer-get-magic tools. Simoun just takes seriously the idea that some people have particular beliefs and will act on them. It stays more sophisticated about this than, like, most anime.

Don't ask me how we got here with a show premised on kiss-powered planes, that ran a manga parody of itself in Megami Magazine.

Anyway!

I do not matter, but this is the Sybilla Aurea.

You are both magnificent sybillae.

Damn. Damn!
