Simoun/Headscratchers: Difference between revisions

**** True enough, but this species goes beyond that - they actually develop the ''secondary'' sexual characteristics that only the breeders retain permanently. And they aren't human anyway, merely human-like.

***** In other words, the people who chose to be men go through puberty ''twice'' - from immature female to adult female, then from adult female to adult male. Yipes.

****** I find it unlikely that the pre-Spring females have experienced puberty in the same sense as humans do. They gain female form, but most likely not true female functions, namely fertility.

*** As for the second point, the trigger age when the Daikuurikans had to choose their sex was originally 15, not 17, which makes a lot more sense. They apparently changed it to get a ''bishoujo'' series with enough [[Fan Service|nubile teen fanservice]] to draw in more than just hard-core science fiction (and ''[[Schoolgirl Lesbians|yuri]]'') fans.
