Day 18 - Something moe

As I scan the wikipedia and all other sources, Moe have different meanings. But on japanese anime', it can stand as a expression, a characteristic, a name. It is a japanese slang word, so many people uses this word a lot. If you are fond of reading manga and watching anime' you must at least know the meaning of this basic term. It refers to a strong interest in a certain thing to a particular character or style in media including video games, anime' or manga. In short, it refers to something cute. For example,  meganekko-moe, "glasses-girl moe"-describes a person who is attracted to fictional characters with eyeglasses. Since then, the term has come to be used as a general term for a hobby, mania or fetish (non-sexual)- tetsudou-moe, "train moe", is simply a passionate interest in trains. A moekko is a character who could be considered stereotypically attractive — youthful and cute.


In anime, they say MOE! when seeing someone really cute and caught their eyes.
 
I just watched Mitsudomoe last few days and they are just cute and adorable. The animation is cute and so are the characters.(those green jokes!);P
