What Moe anime or Moe-esque Characters Do You Like?

Postby KeybladeWarrior » Sun Jan 09, 2011 9:30 pm

I am asking this out of curiosity. Lately, I have been getting into moe anime and wondered if anyone liked these kind of shows and why? Also, what characters with moe elements do you like?

I feel the need to ask, what exactly is moe?
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Here's a small bit from the TV Tropes page:

[quote]Not to be confused with certain other Moes or the town in Victoria, Australia]
Here's a link to the full page, if you are interested.

If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things."

I'm a fan of Kanon (2006). All the girls are very Moe, but they're real characters despite it, and I really felt for them.

Same for Sora no Woto and Haibane Renmei (yes, HB counts for me!).

Basically, if they fall into 'cute' but not necessarily 'adorable', and they stay out of stupid-fun antics, then I like the show.

Funny how moe sounds a bit like a truncated version of 'more!'

It's kuuderes all the way for me, or taken even further, the Blue-Haired Autistic Girl, hereafter abbreviated as ABHG (because I don't like 'BHAG'). The characters don't necessarily have to have blue hair or be officially autistic (or even be a girl) to fit, they just have to act that way. Examples include:

Kannagi Noël of Sora no Woto
Tachibana Kanade ("Angel") of Angel Beats
Hoshino Ruri of Nadesico
Lafiel of Crest of the Stars and sequels
Morimiya Aono of Sola
Ayase Yue of Negima
Ayanami Rei of Evangelion

I like Mikuru from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, but Ayu from Kanon will always be my favorite :)

Hm, now that I think about it I don't think I know any moe characters. xD I need to start watching more different anime.

I like Haruhi Fujioka (sp?) in Ouran. (Is she Moe?) But I don't like her just because she's cute. I'm not sure why I like her, actually. XD Maybe because she's so mellow.

[font="Trebuchet MS"][SIZE="4"][color="RoyalBlue"]My vote goes for Akari from "Aria: The Animation/Natural/Origination" series. I love the fact that she can find something wonderful in everything and everyone. In my eyes, she's the epitome of a moe character, without even TRYING! And come on! You gotta love a girl with a zero carbon footprint. In my book, she ties with Konata Izumi from "Lucky Star". [/color][/SIZE][/font]

Now wait a minute, Helios had a human form. He was her husband in the future so he's more a human who could take the shape of pegasus.

I think that's probably just fan desires because neither the anime nor the manga said anything of the sort. He did say he would return to her, but that doesn't mean they're married. XD
