Also, to all onlookers: I'd like to reiterate that this thread doesn't necessarily limit the subject matter to just girls. Guys can be moe, too. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridget_%28Guilty_Gear%29) (OK, so that's an extreme example, but guys can indeed have traits that turn you on.)
Though I'd love to discuss the unbelievable power that imouto type characters hold; it's impossible NOT to love that archetype.
You know, speaking of imouto-kei, did you guys hear about Kyon's Sis getting an image album of her own? It's supposedly official.
Link will come up later.
P.S. Ashley from Trace Memory (minus the generic name) is quite moe~~.

I concur. Her expression was quite cute when she first found D. XD

èŒãˆâ”â”â”â”(＞∀＜)â”â”â”â”ｯ!!
The Happiness! anime is pretty cheap and unspectacular. If anything, I'm only really watching for Jun. I'll probably play the game someday instead.
The better choices for eroge-turned-anime this season are Kanon & Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru if you ask me. Even Yoake Mae yori Ruriiro na is a pretty ho-hum adaptation.
My character of the week, Komaki Manaka, is a character I've been moe-ing for a while now. In her case, it's the doji (clumsiness), and shyness/social akwardness that gets to me. <3
To be honest, the first thought that came to my mind when I heard "Iincho" I thought of the Buchou from Mahoraba ~Heartful Days~. Though not the traditional stand-up and class duty leader, iincho characters also have a tendency to ask protagonists and such to, in a somewhat bossy manner, do tasks such as return the class role, or mop the floors as it is "his shift". Buchou is nothing like this unless for the fact she uses that authority as a way to get Tamami into doing her deeds. But as with most iincho characters, she has a very good heart, despite her desires and somewhat bossy behavior.
So, in other words,
Buchou is a Gothically Moe representative, with given traits accordingly.
Buchou is love.

I'm a bit late on this but:
My chosen pair is not a pair of maids *GASP* but of the twin sisters of Momotsuki Academy Class 1-A, Yuna and Yuma Kashiwagi. The reason is simple: although they look alike, Yuma is the outgoing, energetic one, while her sister Yuna is the more quiet, introverted type. It's all about the contrast these two have.
I'm so ready for next week's moe. p.s. who got Akiko again? I stumbled across a gem for you.
p.p.s. I posted this from Wii internet channel.
...as some moes - such as traps - are actually turn-offs to some.
I have a feeling on what this weeks theme is...I claim Weda from Hale Nochi Guu.

Personally, I represent Akiko as an awesome mom, but not one who I'd actually like to screw (even though we know she'd go 'APPROVED!1!' without thinking it through first). Thus, I suppose my warped definition of MILF, going against the actual acronym, would be a mother who's so hot/cute/moe that she's F-able, but the question of whether or not you'd actually want to do it is up in the air.

Amen, brother. Way to tell it like it is.
Much as I love imitating the title logos for various anime, the picture I had of Belldandy has such excellent motion, I couldn't bear to muddy up my sig with extra, unnecessary stuff. I just added a bit of a border.
Onee-san...is a really interesting moe for me. Having actually had an older sister, I know and have experienced the dynamics of a family with one.
My sister may have moved out of the house, but I still think that I just like having an older sibling around for support every now and then.
[Nobue] is into fashion...
Whatever the case, I think we can all agree that moes such as oneesan, imouto, and MILF are obviously independent of real-life familial relationships.

Nakoruru isn't really an oneechara at all. If you played through the PC game, there's a scene where they talk about how Rimururu feels ignored by Nakoruru because she cares more about the forest than her.
A lot of you seem to misunderstand what "moe" really is.
It's not "a character you like" or "a character type you like". It's very broad, but there is set limitations really. Like I laughed when people said "Revy" was moe, because she's not a moe-chara. Revy is a Kakkoii-chara.
Nee-chan chara is not moe either. Nee-chan chara is Nee-chan chara.
Moe-chara are like... Mii-tan, Minabi, Komugi, Minna.
I don't see how that eliminates her as an oneechan. Its common practice for the imouto to feel ignored from time to time by the oneechan... That makes the doting more significient.
And sorry for only playing arcade... -.-;; I don't own the PC game (which one are you refering to? O.o? ) so my only knowledge can come from random research... >.>;
But nonetheless, I'm not going to change my avatar... I feel it would be disrespectful and a betrayal to Nako...
I think you are forgetting that moe is up to intrepretation...
Cute isn't just a cute lil loli character.... Thats just a sub-category...
Anyone can find cute traits in anyone... There are times when Revy is moe... Most of the time she is not but its there...
Like what was said before... its the burning feeling you get inside... The feeling you get when you see a character.
And I wouldn't have picked her as a oneechan if I didn't already double-check with someone that knows this moe more than I... -.-;;

Like what was said before... its the burning feeling you get inside... The feeling you get when you see a character.
It's a specific feeling though. It's not just "liking a character" it's very specific in its type. Revy is not a moe-chara at all. There is absolutely no way, because moe is the exact opposite of what kind of character she is. She's a kakkoii-chara, which is the opposite. Moe is a punipuni feeling as Kakkoii-chara is a "Suge, cho-kakkoii" chara. It'd be like calling Vegeta moe. Or Kenshiro moe...
Only because you're making it more complicated than it is. You seem to have taken a very specific definition of moe - a subjective word - and are now trying to hold everyone to those standards. The definition of moe that we have collectively agreed upon is much broader:
Moe is whatever makes you "burning" inside, whatever turns you on. Just because Revy has big boobs and short shorts and wields two guns doesn't mean that she's not also cute in her own way. You see, "kakoii" (cool) and "moe" are not mutually exclusive. A character can be both or neither, depending on your tastes.
I don't like your definition of moe because it seems to severely limit attractiveness to a type of character that is consistent with a norm wherein females are young, timid, and/or subordinate to males. I can't accept such an ideal, and that's why - on this board at least - moe is defined the way we have chosen it.
Whats that supposed to mean? If you're trying to insult my friends, don't. I don't appreciate it. He knows more about moe than you ever will. I think I'd rather trust his words over yours. kthxbye.
And I was just saying that there are times when Revy is moe... Why are twisting my words?
And please give the name of the PC game... How can I get it and play it if you don't give us the name... But in any case, just because you intrepret it one way doesn't mean everyone intreprets it that way... But arguing about this won't change matters. I am not changing my avatar
QuoteWhats that supposed to mean? If you're trying to insult my friends, don't. I don't appreciate it. He knows more about moe than you ever will. I think I'd rather trust his words over yours. kthxbye.
Actually it was in reply to the irony that... I'm pretty sure I understand "moe" a lot more than you. But since you pulled your friends into it, I'm pretty sure I know what it means more than your friends do. Seeing that I've been using the word for the past 4 years now, and have doujinshi artists/writers as friends. Have been looking at 2ch and futaba for the past 3 years, and know the origins of all the things on yotsuba(4chan) that were taken from 2ch and completely butchered,(like how did kuma~ turn into Pedo-bear).
But if you want to insult me by assuming you and your friends know more than me becaues I said you were wrong, by all means please do.
QuoteAnd I was just saying that there are times when Revy is moe... Why are twisting my words?
When's that? when she's shooting her gun in front of little kids to see their expressions? Moe is the exact opposite of Revy.

Concerning the main issue at hand: You have stated your opinions and thank you for your concern. But please stop insisting that we're wrong.
We will intrepret things as we will. And I'm sorry if our intrepreting things differently insults you in some way...
We will intrepret how we will and we will have fun with it.
We will not change our opinions for your sake... such a change would destroy any enjoyment (at least for me...) as lying/being untrue to oneself is an insult to one's very core.
Even if its not what it is in japan... that doesn't mean that we have to do things that way... Words change meaning. End of story. Even its current meaning in japan isn't what it used to be...
And like we like to joke... we do things our way... IN AMERICA!
XP (lol. sorry... I just had to... >.>; )
Again I thank you for your concern but to us, we're not wrong.
If you wish to carry on, please take it to your personnal blog.
On the subject of Nakoruru, I will admit right now that I have not played Ano Hito kara no Okurimono. On the other hand, I have played almost all of the SS fighting games (minus the 3D games), read up on info about the SS RPG, and have dissected official SS drama tracks that focus on Nakoruru and Rimururu. I will say that I believe that Nakoruru can be considered an oneesan type. Although, I see how her tendencies can make one believe she's more an okaasan type.
Nakoruru isn't really an oneechara at all.
I don't deny that it's easilly possible for her to sorta fit in to an onee-chan type, but her character is far more okaasan type than anything else.
Sunara: This one is just a personal pet peeve of mine, please don't confuse 2ch and 2chan. 2ch is the message board(pronounced Ni Chan or Ni Channel) and 2chan is the imgboard(Futaba or Futaba Channel)
That's why we have people calling themselves "otaku" like it's a good thing, because they really have no real base understanding of what it means.
Your condescending attitude toward our use of a slang word (and our knowledge of specific characters) is not appreciated.
Eh...

The He is My Master characters aren't really... moe... but they do things that are moe moe~.
Eh, like... a completely innocent cute that can be taken as dirty... is moe. Like, moe is not only female.
It's really... too hard to explain with English, too many ideas and words that don't translate. Moe itself literally means "budding" or "burning" and it's applied to both.
Moe-chara and things that are "Moe" because you can have non-moe chara be moe. Like, Saber from Fate is not a moe-chara, but there is moe-saber things, like saber riding stuffed lion.
This is really way too hard to explain.
See, otaku didn't change meanings in the states. It was misinterpretted, and instead of learning from their ignorance, people choose to turn a blind eye to it and defend their misuse of a word. Why? To sound "cooler" and "more Japanese". Despite how negative a word like "otaku is... there's a lot of problems with people that use it. My favorite is the one that takes it in the totally opposite light. I have otaku friends. Like real otaku friends. People with doujinshi collections upwards to the 5000 mark, and over 100 figures. People that have 100+ body pillows and 1000 eroge.
The term is a loanword from the Japanese language, but in the English/international sense it is used to refer specifically to a fan of anime and manga, though it can sometimes refer to any "nerd," in general. The term serves as a label not unlike the term Trekkie or fanboy. However, use of the label can be a source of contention among older or more moderate anime fans, particularly those who are aware of the negative connotations the term has within some subcultures. As in Japan, unpleasant stereotypes about otaku prevail in worldwide fan communities, and some anime fans express concern about the reputations these more extreme fans can earn their hobby (not unlike sentiments in the comic book and science fiction fandoms).
To indicate that one is talking about the Japanese definition rather than the English loanword, the spelling wotaku (ヲタク) is sometimes used. On Japanese forums such as 2channel, however, otaku (オタク) and wotaku (ヲタク) are used interchangeably, depending on the mood and personal style of the poster.

A lot of you seem to misunderstand what "moe" really is.
It's not "a character you like" or "a character type you like". It's very broad, but there is set limitations really.
Moe is not only female.
Re: Otaku:
Apparently, the definition of otaku has been accepted in Japan, and thus it goes both ways. Dunno if you're one of those guys who consider Wikipedia to be an uncredible source, but I'll cite from its article anyhow. Bolded is your position; italicized is what I speak of.
I will accept that moe can't be defined like that. However, the character types and characters used in the thread are our representations of what traits make us (and others) feel moe as - if I remember correctly and please correct me if I'm wrong - feelings of moe depend on the audience and their tastes and preferences. For example, an oneesan chara can make the beholder feel moe.Quote
This is half true. Moe is a rather specific feeling, and I don't doubt that some people will get that feeling from non-moe types(in the same ways that people get sexual arrousion by things like bruises, or bloody noses), but in general it isn't. This won't be the best example to use and I know this fully well before stating it, but please bare with me and try to understand the point of why I'm saying it over the literal usage of the two words, and contrary evidence to this specific example.
Sexy vs. Cute. They are two very different aspects and appeals. A girl like Yuko Ogura is very cute, as opposed to being a "sexy" girl. But on the otherside of it, a girl like Angelina Jolie doesn't have a "cute" appeal but a very sexy/seductive appeal. They are very different appeals. Cute girls can be sexy in terms of sexuallity, but the appeal is still very different. Blanket statementing it, some people perfer cute over sexy, and other guys perfer sexy over cute.
Again, I know that example is not perfect, so please don't pick at the minor details like how a girl can be both sexy and cute, but based on how they are very different appeals.QuoteWe understand that; however, for the purposes of our little theme thing going on here, we've decided to split male moe traits into a separate section, focusing first and foremost on the female spectrum of moe.
I know, and I'm trying to inform you what moe really is, as it is not so broad as some would like to believe. It'd help if I could use Japanese examples, like TsuyoKiss(the game, not the cartoon), to explain the different parts and understandings of moe.
But on the other hand it is very expansive. Ohno from Genshiken, is a moe chara, but Saki is not.
G'aaaaah.. it's really frustrating because it's seriously sooooooo hard to explain this. I really hope that what I've said helped, because it's a very common misconception by people of what moe is. It's easy to here a few details and to think that it's a broad idea(the same way that happened with otaku and other words).
I am very interested in JP culture, and I like knowing what things are. If I misuse words, I want my friends to correct me. So I don't really get(I understand why... but...) when people feel so offended when they get corrected about something that they only think they know about by someone who does know about it.
I'm not saying all of you are doing that, because a lot of people are actually presenting reasonable thoughts and replies as to question the reality of the subject, which I find commendable(even if they are skeptical about what I have to say).
I mean, shouldn't you be trying to understand the culture you love more, instead of forcibly saying that you don't care about it and continue to misuse things that come from that culture?
As non-aggressive as I would like to put it: "what would you call this then?" of course, that sounds like taking an offensive position. I am merely curios on your input of what we could call something like this thread other than the blunt stating of 'weekly appreciation of things we like in some girls'. Just honest curiosity.
For the most part, the expansion of perspective in moe is always appreciated, not so much the otaku one, as I can't really remember when the discussion....or use of the word for that matter...came up with this specific group. I think those points are for copying (not saying saving because that'd be aimed at you, copying is for the other board member to have) and using on the people who really need them.
Its not that I outright disagree with you. I do agree with you...to a point. Which is why I dont use a lot of words like otaku. But we're looking at the word(s?) from two different perspectives. Ive thought of a better way to state my point, though.
Otaku, in the context in use for this discussion, is no longer a japanese word. It is now an english slang. Yes, it is spelled and pronounced the same as a japanese word. Yes, it has a similer meaning. Yes, its origins can be traced to the aformentioned japanese word. But it has been assimilated into the culture of the american anime fan scene. This is the nature of language in general, and english in particular.
Last night a friend of mine and the conversation led to Okinawa. She loves kinawa, as she surfs, and she loves the food and landscape and everything there. But she was reading this forum about how someone wanted to go to Okinawa to play with the cats and eat "the legendary sata andagi" because he's seen azumanga daioh. He stated that he wanted to buy some and just shout "SATA ANDAGI!" over and over again with his friends. She felt offended and just appaulled at how stupid he was acting. That guy is just cheapening Okinawa by assuming it is rolled up into a convenient ball of playing with cats(that are super endangered, only a few hundred of them left... at best) and eating fried sweet bread.
Is your friend sure the person in question wasn't joking (as inferenced by the 'legendary' sata andagi)? That's pretty damn shallow otherwise.
Ive already established that I dont use the word otaku (or many other japanese words, for that matter) "correctly" or otherwise, and that I already knew the "real" meaning before this conversation even started...so I dont see how my using the "Well language changes and English adopted the word" argument was a result of suddenly learning "that otaku doesn't mean what they think it does in Japanese."
I would very much like to visit Japan. When people ask me why, I genereally tell them I want to eat taiyaki and authentic ramen, and spend some quality time in Akihabara.
Does this mean that I dont give a crap about anything else? The hell it does! Ive seen a lot of pictures, and I think Japan is a beautiful country. I want to see the mountains and the forests. I want to see the shrines and the city lights. I would very much like to see some no or kabuki (yes, even if I cant fully understand them =P) But guess what? I like to eat and watch anime and play video games. I want to go to akihabara and eat some god damn taiyaki.
But that doesnt mean Im not interested in anything else, and it CERTAINLY doesnt mean Im unable to appreciate it.
Anything I should know that would make the song more complete?
Yuko Ogura is quite moe...
How the hell can you feel "moe" from William Shatner... or Captain Kirk... that just, doesn't make sense to me o_0?
@SohmaYuki
Say if you see something, and for some reason you just feel like cuddling and huggling it instantly.

Good Yue, you look kind of Patchy.
Aside from that, I will choose Rinna Kazamatsuri (Uchuu no Stellvia) for this week.
Since you all fail, I guess I'll have to do it

Those are some big words, there...I'll put your choice down if you can put up an image.
(As an aside, Ruri had been identified since Friday, IIRC - no one took her, for whatever reason.)
Also, Ryu, I take what I said about Mei back. I was reminded of her skills in episode 6. XD
How....how is it that noone has called this? <_<

But to other matters...I would have totally jumped on......I mean, picked, Patchy...but I'm afraid that 100 doesn't constitute a child. The closest thing would have been Chiyuri: 15 years old, college graduate...but that's rather average in that world.....

Nyah? Choosing moe? I'm new to this thread, so... explain to me! Why are people choosing characters?!
How about Sayu Yagami? Death Note is pretty goth/goth-inspired ain't it?
I didn't know we had to chose a gothic lolita.
Quote from: "shortpachoo"I didn't know we had to chose a gothic lolita.
I was wondering why you picked Shana. Try again. :3
Ha, I laugh at my head stabbing.D: she deserves more points than thaat
Cossette for this week. Any particularly reason.......well she is gothic-y and loli....and that is it. That is, for the most part, her only defining factor. Frankly, I liked the series, her attire is not as adorned as my tastes would prefer, but plain, or as the maid meeting brought up "unconvoluted", is also good in its own way. More on the dark and somber side of this week's batch, she receives 89 gosurori points.
I mean, I guess there's always Rozen Maiden, Strawberry Panic, some of Futakoi (maybe), Pure Pure, Tsukuyomi Moon Phase, Melty Blood (Len, at least.), GOTHIC ~Age of Innocence~ and more. ...
Quote from: "Jun-Watarase"I mean, I guess there's always Rozen Maiden, Strawberry Panic, some of Futakoi (maybe), Pure Pure, Tsukuyomi Moon Phase, Melty Blood (Len, at least.), GOTHIC ~Age of Innocence~ and more. ...
As a fan of the G's Magazine properties:
Strawberry Panic! would be stretching it. I think the only thing that might be gosurorish in the series would be the Miator uniform and well, it isn't really. Futakoi is pushing it unless you're talking about that brief stint of the Sakurazaki twins as the masked gosuroris in Alternative, which, while enjoyable, I don't really count as part of the overall Futakoi continuity (it's really a spinoff if anything).
Pure Pure and GOTHIC are interesting suggestions. I might be the only other one who knows what they are off the top of their head though. XD;

I like gothic lolita fashion, as well. I'm also a fan of wa-loli. ^^; I don't see any problem with using the term "gosuloli", though, "g-loli" sounds silly.... I've never heard anyone use the term. But I also don't believe you're being elitist, Kazuko. ^_^;

Oh? I thought you were going to claim Momoha for this week?
Umm, does miko garb count as wafuku? Or is it a completely different category altogether?
If so, I wanna claim Firefox-ko.
I claim Enma Ai from Jigoku Shoujo.
Haha. Thank you... Enma Ai is extraordinarily beautiful. I would've chosen Eruru from Utawarerumono because she's so KOYUUUTE but... I don't know if that is considered wafuku, since it is a unique design probably derived from various other cultures-- either that, or Northern. XD;

i was just wondering how the list starts out with so many people when you first post it.
The initial people on the list (usually Tsubasa, Sunara, Lisu, Jay, Amol (zoxan/Appu), Ryu, George and I; and when they're here and not at college, mDuo13 and Chun) hang out on Friday nights (which used to be a secret thing but casually emerged into consciousness).
We roll randomly for a moetic trait from a list of 90 such traits. Because we're there, we're greedy, and we know what the moe is, we usually go "I GET THIS CHARACTER."
It may be unfair, but one who's at the Friday night hangouts has access to 1) the list of traits and 2) a 'first pick' for someone who matches...as long as no one else claims his/her target first.
To be fair, we start on Monday, usually after people have a chance to choose their object of affection on Sunday. I've been increasingly irresponsible about posting the new themes every week, though. XD
Yarr Iknow cause im not on the list *laughs and mutters the thought of elitsm*
Its k. I didn't. I have to decide. @.@ But school is keeping me from that... so maybe tomorrow sometime?
Lol. I was almost tempted to grab a boy character this time.. >.>; I actually have one in mind... >.>;
Hmm it's a pity Hatori Sohma is a guy. =[
I shall choose Sadako Yamamura from Ringu. D:
Because she is all sorts of moe! AMIRITE?
I don't remember anyone else picking characters, so yeeeeeah.
X6: Colored Hair: White
Sunara: Zazie Rainyday (Negima)
Spiritsnare: Refill "Raine" Sage (Tales of Symphonia)
Nao from Mabinogi.
Other noteable characters in this category (for me) would be: Blue Soldier (toward the terra), killua (hunter x hunter), Hansel & Gretel (black lagoon), Ilya (fate/stay night), Ginko (Mushishi), and other various characters throughout the years...
I like how my choice was documented without me having to say anything. Spirit, thank you for your patronage to the Lisu Laziness Foundation.

I considered it, but Tsubasa Sakura is not CCS Sakura. And, by that virtue, she is far inferior.
On a related note, I've now seen 13 episodes of Nadesico and I can say: Ruri is quite a good character.
I also don't mind Ryoko or Megumi, either.

Mah choice for this week's moe: Yutaka, lulzThat never really went under discussion, but I believe that choice was wrong. Point will be brought up Monday after announcement.

Isn't her hair pink?

Okay, apparently the definition is "bloomers as in the undergarment fashion". Tsubasa also mentions "the thing Hinaichigo [of Rozen Maiden fame] wears"...Which by the way, I already called....rep to come soon.
Last-Elixir is pretty moe. No homo.
Nyuu, I had modded it to be Haruka. This cannot be!
For home ec girls.... Does Nagisa's mom count? I'll claim her if so.I think she cooks her breads purely for the love of it, so I'd argue she does. Don't know if she's really young enough to fit the archetype, but I think she's moe enough.
I'm going to go ahead and claim Iokawa Karada from Asatte no Houkou. She was a favorite of mine a while back and Asatte no Houkou is a really underappreciated show. And episode 7 with the cake baking was pretty fun.
Yay! I'm not the only one that thinks so. (hmm... they should have an back story for her where they show her young. XP Or a whole new game revolving around her. XP)For home ec girls....

(Hmm... This brings up an interesting philosophical point: does Akiko's jam count for this purpose? I guess Akiko cooks some other things, though not really extensively.)

Ah, but not every character-forming incident has to happen in youth! You could have a sidestory, of sorts, with their normal, adult selves, and this way Nagisa and Nayuki could have cameos. And come on, who doesn't want that?True.(hey. Akiko and Nagisa's mom should be long lost sisters.

But going off your comment above, I had a random insight that a backstory where they're young would be kinda nice. Come on... you know its true. ^w^

Are maid girls still considered moe???

So Tsubasa, exactly what is that?
Besides a 360 and a game.
Also, might learn Tenshi; fun stuff to be had there.
Eimi?

That set would be, like, perfect if it were Chisa, Aya, Asahi or Minami instead of Eimi...

Fixed for Tsubasa
This set (http://www.goodsmile.info/products/gsc/2008/gsc0807-01.html) happened to slip under my radar because of its inconspicuous name: SMILE800 V.I.P. I've quickly rectified this by putting in an order for a box.
What concerns me is that there are 8 figures per box and I'm under the impression that they're truly randomized boxes. I really want a whole set, so who wants to buy a set too? If it is randomized, we can only stand to benefit off each other. If it isn't randomized, then well, you'd have a full set too. Win win. Consider it.
Enter MangaGamer (http://www.mangagamer.com/): a new company offering officially licensed english-translated eroge in a pay-to-download format. Although their initial offering won't be up until July 10th, we see that they're in cahoots with Circus, as evident by D.C. and Suika in their lineup. The rest of their line up is viewable here (http://www.mangagamer.com/hentai/). Nothing else terribly worth noting.
The engrishy site leaves a bit to be desired, but I going to remain extremely hopeful that these guys can do some good work. Hell, it doesn't even have to be good work if they can continue to get stuff from relatively big companies like Circus.
I've always kinda wanted to play Suika, but never got around to it. I guess I'm playing it in english. As for D.C., unfortunately it's the original and not P.S., but that's better than nothing. At least there's still a lot for me there. And, most importantly, Nemu is in any version of the game. :3

Hey, Hirameki (http://www.hirameki-int.com/)! 'Sup, JAST (http://www.jastusa.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv)!
And I'm not even sure whether or not Hirameki did get profit out of their localizations, which were pretty good.

Well, yes. I'm aware of those two. Sparse isn't the same as nonexistent, after all.
I wonder how many more years it'll take before somebody gets the idea to try and establish a native, English galge studio? I wonder how badly it'll fail? >_>

I dunno, they've been at the last two or three Fanimes...There are definitely galge with worse art out there.
It looks sorta promising.
I'm so totally up for this.
It's going to be so bad.

I caught a glance of your stick @Evo, Mizuki. It actually looks quite nice. I personally wouldn't have gone through so much effort to plaster Louise over any of my personal possessions, but whatever floats your boat.
Now this is cute!You're new at this, aren't you?
I nominate this thread to be moved to the "Serious Business" forum.
Because moe is serious business.
To be completely honest, I really dislike Moe, so I usually pass up this thread, but I just had to say that Listerine and Tsubaker's posts on this page (the only page I read) really made me chuckle. Good job! I'm proud of both of you. (Though Lisu-nee always makes me laugh. Tsupasta, you need to step your game up sir.)

Erica Hartmann (Strike Witches)
Fox child - proper name never given - (Natsume Yuujinchou)...Interestingly enough, Natsume Yuujinchou made a surprisingly good showing of moetic youkai. Tsubame is tops, but the fox child, is hella cute. Unjustly cute.
Well Yaoi to me in general is Moe!!
Anything by Nitro+Chiral is so MOE +///~///+
I go crazy for anything made by them! I love that company! They complete my Yaoi world!
