Look at the Plot Summary...It got some Kind of "Unique" concept...
Genres: drama, romance, science fiction
Themes: gender switch, religion, Shoujo-ai, war, yuri
Plot Summary: In the world of Daikuuriku, everyone is born female, and chooses which sex they wish to become at age 17. In this world, the peaceful theocracy of Simulacrum is guarded by magical flying machines called "Simoun", which can only be piloted by young girls who haven't chosen a sex yet. The Simoun can activate a magical power known as "Ri Maajon" that can destroy large numbers of enemies at once. When the industrialized nation of Argentum decides that it needs to invade Simulacrum to acquire the secret of the Simoun, war breaks out, drawing the Simoun "Sibyllae" (priestesses who fly the Simoun) into a lopsided battle. Because the war is raging, the Sibyllae are granted an exemption from choosing a permanent sex for as long as they're willing to keep flying. Aaeru, a determined young Sibylla with a mysterious past, and Neviril, the leader of Chor Tempest, Simulacrum's most elite Simoun squadron, must lead their fellow priestesses through conflict both within their ranks and in the sky.
It's Yuri, so I doubt it got good romance (maybe)...anyway...Thoughts??

Never watched it. The yuri element wasn't enough to catch my eyes. Reminds me of Wings of Rean, Last Exile, and some others that feature some fantasy world with technology in a dystopian setting with airplanes. I've read a review saying that the show was good, but it's not on my priority list.

Just finished watching this, with the premise of girls having to kiss to start the engines of the Simouns the yuri element plays a central role for this anime, which was ok for me.
Though, I wasn't very fond of the series when I started watching it, it kinda grew into me. The music is great as well though sometimes it doesn't mix well with the anime.
Morinas ftw! Great ending for her :)
Also heres a chart to explain the relationships of Chor Tempest, probably contains spoilers...
Heres the OP and another song that plays towards the middle/end part.

Ahhh ... Simoun. It's been a while...
Not the best of titles, strange plot and I hated that gender-bender concept but it certainly was ... unique.
Remember really liking some of those girls ... Mamiina ... Aeru ...
Few will last through the whole thing though I'm afraid ...
Definitely spawned some gorgeous art :
