Simoun DVD Review

Oct 28, 2007 02:04



NebsTV's new yuri series Simoun is also about to be released in America on DVD. The first volume doesn't come out for a few more weeks, but AnimeOnDVD has gotten an early look at it. Like many of Media Blasters' recent releases, Simoun is a subtitled only series that has no English dub. But because of that, they're able to fit 6 episodes on the first disc (more than what we've shown on the site so far). The reviewer seemed to really enjoy the first 6 episodes, & summarized the first volume by saying this about it:

"What we get in the first disc of Simoun is little more than setting up what is to come for the rest of the series. However, what is here is really good and admittedly gave me high expectations for the next disc. From what we have seen so far, fans of action shows might be a little disappointed in this, since most battle scenes take a back seat to furthering the human elements to the war being fought. For people who like a bit more meat behind their war shows, this will potentially whet that appetite.

Even though this disc did not have anything too potentially offensive, people who do not like, or who are disturbed by, yuri will probably want to stay away, especially since there is no guarantee that later episodes will stay at the same level. However, for most everybody else, Simoun looks to be a series that will be very good by show’s end, and I am really looking forward to the next disc. Recommended."
