It looks like Simoun-fans only have 1 episode left to fansub. That reminds me that I need to finish getting both it and Stellvia on DVDs. But since I've already reviewed Simoun, let's chat a bit about Stellvia.
I watched Stellvia when I was sick in bed missing a music festival on a weekend. After watching Stellvia, I watched Ikkitousen. But that's not the point. The point is, Stellvia, while it may not be very yuri, is well worth watching.
The whole thing was amazingly technological. While you weren't bombarded with terms and visual representations of concepts like you may otherwise be in a Space Academy, it was all very, well, realistic, or as realistic as a futuristic anime goes.
Following Shima Katase on her journey to become a space pilot was very rewarding. She goes from genious everywhere except in one area to genious in all aspects - and you see a very good transition.
The yuri in this anime is Yayoi/Ayaka (I think). Their relationship (or whatever it is) is very deep with a dark and haunting past. I actually would not of thought of it as yuri if not for already reading a yurified review on it.
That's all I will say. Everyone should see this one, especially people that don't like yuri.

♥ yea theres not really any yuri in there. i read that there was on okazu but i couldnt really see much of it. oh well its a pretty good anime. im only on the 6th episode so maybe there will be more yuri, who knows. thanx for the info ♥
I could definitely sense the yuri in there.
1) Rinna stated that it's traditional for couples to go out together on Christmas Eve. After Yayoi visited Ayaka's room, later it shows the room as vacant, implying they had gone out together.
2) After dispersing the cosmic fracture, Yayoi states that it was always her dream to fly around with Ayaka, bringing Rinna to ask Pierre if he was jealous. He was never jealous about her spending time with a girl as a friend, but he admitted this time he was jealous, implying that it was more a cleverly disguised confession.
