 |
| It can be a feeling of endearment toward someone that just makes you want to protect them, a descriptor for shows with a certain feel and/or artstyle, the style a character is drawn in, a subset of cuteness that you'll instantly recognize when it hits you and you'll know the difference between moe' and cute, or a word that describes a feeling between lust and innocence. Moe' is beautiful. Moe' is life~ |

| I'm starting to think that it's just a blanket term some people use to try to disparage something they don't like. Scratch that, I'm sure of it. For example "moeshit", "moeblob", etc. |

Pretty much this. The art style used in moe anime is supposed to evoke certain feelings, but it doesn't necessarily succeed with everyone (which is why some people call it annoying). It's different for everyone. For instance, some characters I find moe: |
hyakushikimaru said: As I understand it, "moe" is something that has sentimental cuteness that appeals to you personally, but has been used to describe a phenomenon in anime where characters are designed specifically to be cute, and with a particular exaggerated look (e.g. big eyes, small nose and mouth, look younger than they're supposed to be, etc.). I read an interview once with Miyazaki of Studio Ghibli (if I recall, but don't quote me) that said if an animator's job is to design characters that attract and appeal to the audience, then a lot of animators get lazy and start designing characters with this generic look that makes all the characters look overly cute. He lamented that.So can someone please explain to me properly what "moe" means?  |

They're the girls the world deserves, but not the girls the world needs right now. |

I think all the fans of the show, which definitely far out number the detractors, think that the show is needed right now. But any Batman reference is cool to me. |
