Simoun is one of those anime that is accurately described as ‘amazing’ and anyone who disagrees has ‘no taste’. It’s ‘brilliant’, if you will, and that may be why it doesn’t have enough fans. It stands a little too far on the threshold of goodness where it can’t really become popular. Kind of like Legend of the Galactic Heroes or Honey and Clover or something, where it has a following of dedicated fans and is truly top-tier stuff but somehow just never reaches the heights that it should in popularity.
