I like the version where the top is all modern screenshots and the bottom is all old stuff.

I know you guys have probably heard this same tired stuff millions of times.

I'll quietly skedaddle.

Fake edit: By the way, I have nothing against them. I read my fair share of *ahem* interesting manga. It's just that I'm surprised they're profitable enough that studios keep making them (whatever "them" is).

I was of a similar mind a few years back. Felt good to be wrong even if I had to look a little harder for the goods.

Man, between Kumojacky and Cobraja, this show can get a bit TL at times. Also, I'm a bit surprised that

they're running through the supporting cast for Desertrian candidates so quickly

. I would have thought they'd have saved that for later in the show.

Pft. Every precure looks the same.

They're like pieces of candy. You tell them apart by the color and shape of their hair!

Constant posts about them make me kinda want to see the show if I can get what the big deal is.

Unless I'm missing something, I thought juniors we're eligible for full membership once you hit 300 posts? At least, that's how it went for me.

Let me go through my watchlist for this season and see how I'd categorize them, keeping in mind of course that the borderline for "moe" is different for everyone:

Baby Steps -- not moe, but it has a cute female lead
Captain Earth -- not moe, but has cute female leads
Gochiusa -- totally moe. Probably the moe-est this season.
Haikyuu!! -- not moe (well, maybe Hinata is for some people)
Happiness Charge Precure -- moe, just like it's been for the last ten years, except when they're punching villains in the face
JoJo: Stardust Crusaders -- definitely not moe (fanworks be damned)
Love Live S2 -- sort of moe, but more just cute in general
Mekaku City Actors -- not really moe, but it is terribly confusing
Mushishi Zoku Shou -- not moe
Nanana -- not moe, but has cute female characters
Nisekoi -- not moe, but has cute female characters
No Game No Life -- sort of moe (except for Sora)
One Week Friends -- kind of moe, but more like warm fuzzy feelings in general, I guess
Ping Pong -- not moe

I think classifying an entire show as moe only really works for some of the cute-girls-doing-cute-things shows; otherwise, I wouldn't really call it moe but rather just a show that happens to have cute girls in it.

300 posts / 3 months

Ah, I see.

Never noticed that requirement since I hit my 300th post when I was a member for like, 4 months IIRC haha.

Point taken. I will now commence sudoku.

This is manly moe, get it right.

I'm just giving my own opinion. Doesn't invalidate yours one bit.

I thought that's what moe is?

I was working with a definition of moe closer to "cute for cuteness' sake", while Love Live does a bit more with its characters than just have them be there.

I guess it's really not quantifiable or easily categorized, so my whole list might kind of be garbage, but I wanted to contribute something to the thread, dammit.

 

[Kieli]

Nope. Moe is a character in Simpsons.

Yeah, I went there.

Ever since Pretty Rhythm went on break with its reruns-framed-by-Flash-animation, I haven't been able to promote it. (It has given me an appreciation for Mia. I like her moxie.) And now a website for the next iteration, PriPara is up.

Lala's been learning from the past heroines on All Star Selection, but her friends Sofi and Mirei (there's a theme here), I don't know much about, but can generally guess from their character designs. By which I mean they look like the next coming of Aikatsu's Seira and Kii.

I know this is supposed to be a joke picture, but sadly this is how I feel. Never mind the fact that I know there have always been fan-service anime and there will always be a steady stream of good stuff coming out. :/

Is it shadecube time again?

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

I love stills too, Paul Johnson.

 

[Eusis]

Is that a joke picture? Pocahontas aside those aren't particularly fair comparisons being OVA/Movies versus TV shows, and in the case of Pocahontas not only do we have the style factor but the smoothness of animation to take into account.

 

[Haly]

All hail the 5-tone Teikoku.

I for one want to applaud the studio for deciding to do to the beach scene in MS Paint.

I was afraid the guy was serious. I guess he never saw much actual TV anime from the 80s/90s.

Man I forgot about him inserting his Original the '80s Anime Girl Character into that, LOL.

I hope that working on animation has helped him understand why "5-tone Teikoku" is an unrealistic goal.

Was told to watch this after our long hiatus from this show, and now we remember why there was a hiatus.

It's shit like this that makes me happy about my Arjuna/Kuttsukiboshi night. It's like revenge, except it wasn't initially revenge.

Gotta give props for the flesh tone racist joke. God damn that was something.
