Exactly this.

I don't think there is a reason to not watch any particular genre of anime, it is only entertainment after all and it all comes down to personal taste in the end.

You must be new here. Well, IntroverTurtle answered your question earlier in the thread:

IntroverTurtle said:
See this is how normal people are. To Not_Biased, if you're watching something that has females in it, you want to rape them, especially if they are younger than 18.


I'll add that this certain rule does not apply to anything Not_Biased approved, which contains of an amazing sum of barely 15 anime. The rest are objectively shit and if you like them, you are sexually deviant, a homosexual and a rape fiend. You must also ask your parents for permission before watching porn.

Probably the only "Moe" anime i have bothered watching is Nichijou, because i consider most of them plain garbage. Then again, Nichijou would probably be a slice of life and not considered pure "moe". The only genre of moe anime i would watch is comedy.

I usually avoid shows with majority of the girls being sexualized loli moe type characters. Don't get me wrong, I love watching ecchi anime and I'm not saying I haven't seen any loli moe ecchi anime but I do try to avoid them and they do tend to bore me after a point since I'm not much of a ecchi loli fan. Need some variety. One or two is fine but when the entire cast is half naked little girls doing cute shit, it's a bit too much for me. Example would be Ro Kyu Bu.

I think I've watched at least one series that would be considered moe - can anyone bored enough to look at my list verify this for me? I have no outright aversion to such things, I'll give pretty much anything a shot outside some exceptions.

It's pretty much impossible to define, even with poetry. I don't think you can really understand what it is without experiencing it yourself.

When you feel a warmth inside your chest that connects you to the beloved, fragile yet eternal small presence you see on your screen, transcending the normal way we relate to moving pictures... you've probably experienced moe.

i don't understand i though moe was used to describe a personality..... how does one watch a personality

Can't stand the moe genre. The fact that its so popular is mind-boggling to me. Grown men liking to watch little girls running around on the screen doing cute things is not something that I find cool or entertaining to watch. Gets even more annoying when it starts seeping into the genres that I actually like.

Close, but it's more a character design. A design that's cute-- like a kitten-- and meant to make you want to cuddle and protect the character. Azusa from K-ON is moe. Nagisa from Clannad is moe. Hell, even male characters can be moe as well.

A 'moe anime' is just a show that focuses on these types of characters. I guess. It's a stupid and vague term since there's no clear distinction between what makes a show a 'moe' anime rather than just an action or comedy. Plenty of serious titles have moe characters in them. Look at Steins;Gate for example-- nobody calls that a moe anime.

So say you hate moe.

You watch a series, finish it, and liked it.

Then you find out later on that it's moe.

Do you hate the series now?

I watch things that I enjoy.

Does it matter if it's moe or not? Who cares? I don't spend any time thinking about it. Less than that is spent worrying whether the shows I watch will gain me any bullshit "cred" with some nerds on the internet.

Maybe that's been his problem the whole time. He's been looking through the windows of Japanese otaku, hiding in bushes, peaking through blinds, etc. Instead of watching the show, I think he would find it much more relaxing.

I do, but moe anime is generally hit-or-miss for me. Some of them are really good and some of them are pretty bad. I do enjoy them more than I hate them, but I don't "obsess" over moe anime like some people do.

Which is why the so-called moe haters who disregard Higurashi as moe are brain damaged. Moreover, even GITS can be moe depending on who is watching it.

Hate to break it to you, but just because an anime contains a moe character does not make it moe. Never Seen Higurashi so won't comment on it but I'm pretty sure your confusing what defines a moe character with what defines a moe anime.
