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. (Source: AniDB)
