| Probably the connoisseurs of those kinds of show won't mind it as much, but for the rest of us non-fans, it kinda does get annoying when it is excessive. I see a lot of dudes who aren't really into moe seething about these all girls SOL CGDCT moe shows that they're "ruining anime". Their problem probably stems more from excess moe since quite a few do like all girls shows and even SOL. An outsider take, so I guess I'll follow this thread too to see what people actually into it think and if they've come across such shows lol |
 |
| CGDCT can never be too cute, hehe. :) Gochiusa and Nyanko Days are the perfect examples. |
 |
| I guess some voice actors trying hard to sound cute that I find it cringe sometimes, but it doesn't harm the plot in any way, just a minor annoyance |
| Not really, usually the cuter the better. |

Anonychan said: Yes, that's what every moeshit anime (think KyoAnishit for instance) is. It tries too hard to be cute that it's not no longer cute but looks goofy and plays out unbearably. The "CGDCT"/SoL that could actually be called cute are the ones that don't signal every second of their existence what they're trying to do and make it their core identity. An example of this would be Asobi Asobase (which isn't moeshit and I'm not even sure classifies as "CGDCT" due to its sense of humor, but that elevates my point exactly). I simply consider Asobi Asobase to be a comedy (and it is absolutely based btw). It is more similar to shows like Cromartie High School than it is to CGDCT imo. |

| Moe in general detracts from the plot. Finding something decent with more realistically proportioned characters is like a breath of fresh air. |
 |
| Any time shows try to force "cute" already is hurting the series |
 |
| There is only 1 show that is extremely cute to me but never detracts me from the plot, and that is "Miira no Kaikata". |
  𝑇𝐼𝑃𝑆 𝐼𝑁 𝐺𝐼𝑁𝑇𝐴𝑀𝐴 - NOT your usual shounen anime - Pure comedy? DEAD WRONG - Treat Gintama as SoL/weekly sitcom especially earlier seasons - Ep 1 & 2 are for manga readers - BIG patience for its 'slow' start |
| I don't think an anime can be "too cute" but anime of these kind often lack other things that make them enjoyable. Recynon said: there isn't a single "cute" show that's actually good. if a show is moe, it's bad by default. There is, you just never watched one and are too biased to even try at this point. |
| It's the same as any other form of fanservice. So yes, it can be too much. I think CGDCT is a subgenre that originated from slice of life shows having too much cuteness going on that it overtakes the rest. It got an audience tho. |

| I don't really watch CGDCT and slice of life for the plot lol, I watch it for the wholesomeness, every day life moments, which makes me happy. If there's a sub story underneath, then by all means, but the majority of these anime simply make me feel good and energized. Something like RPG Fudouson which is airing this season, the plot is about four girls who work at a fantasy Real Estate Company, but is overshadowed by the actual cuteness, etc... |
| Cute is already part of the identity of CGDCT shows. It certainly not hurting the series because most of the shows know their target audience but it'll annoy some viewers if the show only relies on the sheer amount of cuteness to the point of pandering without any substance. I like CGDCT shows that have an overarching theme in it. |
  |
| Depends honestly ... Do I find the VA to be cringe (Which has happened) and how forced I feel the cuteness is. |

Protect the smile!  |
| Who says there's a plot to begin with if it's just a ridiculously cute series. |
| If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that. |
| most likely, although I don't have anything in mind. that's essentially just meandering... what with the many familiar elements of playful backdrop aesthetics, extreme moe to point of overkill and empty dialogues. |
 |
| can someone please tell me the plot of jujutsu? all I see is nobara acting all angry, miwa cute and maki looking gorgeous |

There is, you just never watched one and are too biased to even try at this point. Factually wrong. Even if you only looked at my completed list, you'd see Madoka Magica has moe designs. I've tried them. They suck. You didn't even try to understand what I said. |
| no, an anime show can never be too cute. |

But slice of life literally means it's their everyday life, u could say that their plot could of marrying someone they are dating but slice of life's don't really have a plot they just have a start and then from there on they keep on moving with normal life with some twists here and there to make the show somewhat interesting. Yeah, I fully know what does it mean, and The Aquarium anime fits that 100%. |
|
| Yes an anime can be too cute for it's own good . Like miss sachiko and the little baby ghost.. |
 |
DrBalls said: If the show revolves around the characters being cute, then the entire potential of the plot was sacrificed on the altar of cuteness...I don't get how cuteness can hurt the development of the story. Shows that revolve around characters being cute, don't have any overreaching plot. So how can it distract you from the plot, when the cuteness is the actual plot? Plus, moe blobs aren't even cute. |
|
| Yes if you don't like cute, no if you do. Can a gore anime be too gory? Can an action anime be too action packed? And so on. |
 |
| i only feel that way about kids shows. stuff like pretty cure, aikatsu, etc. but i'm not the target demographic for those, so i don't really have room to criticize |
Tirinchas said: Yes if you don't like cute, no if you do. Can a gore anime be too gory? Can an action anime be too action packed? And so on. Dude, a while ago I dropped a hentai manga for being too horny. DrBalls said: JaniSIr said: If the show revolves around the characters being cute, then the entire potential of the plot was sacrificed on the altar of cuteness... Plus, moe blobs aren't even cute. Sth that never existed can't be sacrificed. Cute moe shows don't have potential. What kind of storyline are y'all expecting from a show like that anyways? Not everything needs an edgy "I'm 14 and this is deep" type story. That's still underpaid anime staff work hours we will never get back. And I don't get where you get that the opposite of no plot is being edgy... |
|
| the entire point of cgdct anime is to be nothing but concentrated cuteness for 20 minutes so no |
| I can't think of any anime like this, but I've never been fond of chibi sprites in jrpgs because I just find it harder to get invested |
 "The kindest person in the room is often the smartest." |
DrBalls said: I didn't say the opposite of no plot is edgy, I gave an example of what you were tryna say from my perspective. You're asking for a storyline in a cute moe show, and I am saying, these shows simply were never intended to have a storyline in the first place, most of these shows feature episodic slice of life content. So I don't see where your idea of a wasted potential storyline comes from. I actually like episodic stuff, but the episodes need to have a proper point, and only being cute doesn't really qualify. DrBalls said: And about underpaid staff work hours being wasted, you can make that same argument for literally any anime or genre you don't like. Well yea, it's been so long since I found an anime that actually had good animation that I liked. |

|
| Exceptions don't confirm the rule, it's a stupid saying people should stop using. |
|
| Fuck the plot, there's other reasons for watching and enjoying stuff than just 'plot'. The moment you accept that you will realize how stupid this question is. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| if you want to see that cute girl vs girl interaction then moe anime is for you. if you feel like their behavior seems fake or bringing up your past encounter with narcissistic people then it would be the trigger to get pissed off. |

Well if you get into an anime with a CGDCT tag, and you expect it to be anything other than just a generic, episodic and cute moe anime, then that's kinda on you. Well, I watched one of those, so now I'm avoiding everything with that tag. Edit: Actually, does this qualify as CGDCT? https://myanimelist.net/anime/49519/Hakozume__Kouban_Joshi_no_Gyakushuu |
