In the peaceful theocracy of Simulicram, everyone is born female. At age 17, each maiden undergoes a special ceremony where she chooses her sex. However, only Pairs of maiden priestesses can synchronize with the ancient flying ships known as Simoun needed to defend Simulicram. These Pairs refrain from undergoing the ceremony as long as they wish to keep piloting their Simoun.
Aer is recruited to be a Simoun pilot after a terrifying attack by an enemy nation decimates the squadron known as Chor Tempest. To earn her wings she needs to find her way into the heart of Neviril, Regina of Chor Tempest. But Neviril's heart still belongs to her previous Pair, lost in the battle when she attempted a forbidden Simoun maneuver.

Where it came from
Simoun was produced by Studio Deen and broadcast in 2006, emerging during a period when the anime industry was experimenting with complex, mature narratives within the shoujo and yuri genres. The series is set on the planet Da Cima, where a perpetual war drives a society that assigns gender only after individuals reach a certain age. The narrative explores themes of duty, identity, and sacrifice through the lens of the Simoun Sibylla, elite pilots who operate ancient, wind-powered aircraft.
The series was directed by Junji Nishimura and features character designs by Asako Nishida, who aimed for a distinct, ethereal aesthetic that balanced the mechanical demands of aerial combat with the emotional intensity of the pilots' relationships. Upon its release, it was noted for its unconventional world-building and philosophical inquiry into the nature of binary gender, earning a dedicated cult following for its willingness to challenge traditional storytelling tropes within the medium.
