Would you rather #ENDECCHI or #REMOVEMOE. Both would have net positive effects on the quality of Chinese Cartoons. I personally am convinced that moe is more detrimental to the overall quality of japanimation than ecchi. What are you guys' opinions?

Whichever team is popular and wins the most in solo and team queues wins.

I personally am convinced that moe is more detrimental to the overall quality of japanimation than ecchi. What are you guys' opinions? In the first place moe is just a term fans tossed out as a descriptor of characters they like. Of course over the years its meaning has been twisted and these days it means "stuff I don't like" to a lot of people. For a better understanding, consult this chart Is moe a passing trend? Not at all. Behold, Exhibit A. It's been a big part of anime since the very beginning. What's the appeal of moe? Pretty simple: who wants to watch a show about ugly people? Shallow, I know, but admit it: everyone is on some level. Most so called "moe" shows are meant to be easy watching. It won't make you think about serious topics, won't change your world view or whatever, but it keeps you feeling good 20 minutes at a time. I think that's a great goal to strive for. That said, moe and 'serious storytelling' aren't mutually exclusive. Look at Higurashi or Madoka. All the girls are cutesy and 'waifu' material but the plots aren't so simple. No matter how many moe shows are made, 'serious' show keep coming out. I enjoy both types of shows so it's all positives for me. My only issue is with all the negativity dished out by the people who hate moe. If you don't like it, fine, but is it really necessary to go out of your way and let everyone know how it's the cancer killing anime, that all these shows are garbage and that anyone who likes them are pathetic otaku trash with no social lives?

I could argue that Macchiavelli was tsundere for Republican government or something to that effect. There's little new in the world. I've heard that people call Lum Invader from Urusei Yatsura the first tsundere, but that doesn't matter. What matters is when creators started to see a "mass" appeal in the archetype. When that happens there is less inclination to explain what is behind the tsundereness and characters increasingly start to lack substance. We can problematize "moe" the same way. I would describe moe as a trend that intentionally uses neoteny and childish behaviour in characters to increase their appeal. And again, the more creators realize that simple hooks can influence people, the less they're inclined to give characters and storyline some substance. Of course this is nothing unique for anime. Relentless copying to the point that there's no substance left is one of the basic ideas in postmodern critique of pop culture in general. Miyazaki is correct at least in some aspects - you can't make something good if all you're watching is copies of copies. I'm not sure it has ended. We had White Album 2 and Little Busters last season, there's going to be an adaptation of Grisaia no Kajitsu and a new F/SN this year. The major ones like Little Busters and Stein's Gate are still hits. A number of others have been adapted in the last couple of years. It's just that vn market ha declined and is extremely oversaturated and even top vs companies can't sell as many units as 10-15 years ago. I'd say that instead of ever being a trend adapting vns is now seen as an ordinary part of anime industry.

I was a fan of "moe" before the term caught on. My favourite "classic" anime tend to be anime resembling modern moe anime. Anime such as Dr. Slump, Akazukin ChaCha, Sailor Moon, and so forth. I think that machismo is totally gross. And in fact, probably the only reason I fell so much in love with anime, is because of how moe it is. I am perhaps far more of a moe fan, than an anime fan. For instance, I would much rather watch a Western "moe" show, like My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, Strawberry Shortcake, Rainbow Brite, or Ruby Gloom, than a dark and gritty Japanese anime. I like girly anime, and moe anime is girly. I'm not fond of harem or ecchi anime. But "moe", and harem and ecchi, are totally different things. Not to say that don't ever happen together, but moe shouldn't be stereotyped as a moe or ecchi thing. Also, if people don't like harem or ecchi anime, they should criticize those genres, rather than moe. Moe is essentially a microcosm of the much larger "kawaii culture" or cute culture that many speak of, when talking about modern, Japanese pop culture. Within the anime, otaku, and specifically bishoujo fandom. Moe is an offshoot of the bishoujo fandom that has become much more. Any of the problems people associate with "moe", existed long before moe arose as a phenomenon within the anime industry. Most of the problems people claim moe have, are also completely misinformed about moe. Though there certainly are some offensively done moe characters. Not that there weren't also many poor portrayals of female characters for the exact same reasons as today, before moe surfaced. For instance, the character Asahine Mikuru totally offends me, especially since she's older than she acts. She's a complete doormat character who is submissive to all of Haruhi's wishes, and seems complete weak in ways that are simply painful for me to experience. I don't like her character. Nor do I like her dynamic with other characters, Haruhi's sexual harassment of her, and Kyon's attraction to her. Nagato Yuki is, in my opinion, a far more moe and interesting character. She is a far more moe and far less weak character than Mikuru. Characters like Mikuru I would like to see less of. Out of all character archetypes, I prefer boisterous and passionate female characters, to be honest. But those characters are certainly no less moe than characters like Mikuru. Also, I think that the entire "Yamato Nadeshiko" thing is gross.

Why are they jumping into teapots? If you were essentially liquid that seems like the worst place you could possibly be. edit: Samurai is a great example of why you don't skip leg day.
