Moe: Difference between revisions

* Cute characters such as Bridget (''[[Guilty Gear]]''), Mizuho (''[[Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru]]''), and Jun Watarase (''[[Happiness]]'') are often considered moe. The fact they are all [[Wholesome Crossdresser|guys]] is incidental.

* Most, if not all, of the various ''[[Gundam]]'' series all contain a moeblob (or several). Tiffa Adill of ''[[After War Gundam X]]'' takes the cake for eliciting "I-wanna-protect-her!" feelings from the audience, thereby being very moe without even trying that hard.

* Izuru Hino from ''[[Change 123]]'', with her [[Tareme Eyes]] eyes, cheerful smile, and gentle and peaceful nature. [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/change_123/v04/c019/34.html Here] is her initial appearance. Later we discover that she {{spoiler|is actually a [[Badass Adorable]] (see [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/change_123/v05/c022/15.html here] for an example). And that those bunnies which she tended [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/change_123/v05/c023/35.html weren't exactly her pets].}}

* Allen Walker from ''[[D.Gray-man|D Gray Man]]'' is a male personification of this, along with being a [[Cute Shotaro Boy]]. He tends to exude a feeling of innocent cuteness, especially with his wide eyes. A common term used to describe him is "adorable" and "extremely huggable." It also helps that he's the series' [[The Woobie|woobie]].

** According to the coach of the Ojo White Knights (a stern man in his 60s), men in [[Meido]] costumes is quite moe. Cue the younger cast demanding [[Brain Bleach]].

* Various characters in ''[[Fairy Tail]]'' will qualify here and there, but the grand moe prize goes to [[Horned Humanoid|Aries]].

** ''Especially'' [http://kuro.hanyuu.net/data/preview/4e/0b/4e0b191c6b154464b225198715d563ad.jpg Tenshi.]

** Yui definately qualifies, as well as Yusa, Irie and Sekine.

* Ranka from ''[[Macross Frontier]]''. Hell, she once [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|stopped an uprising]] by airdropping onto the battlefield and ''[[Glamorous Wartime Singer|singing]]''. The fighting Zentradi '''stopped dead'''.

** Arguably a deconstruction where, despite her ''moé'' points (or because of them), she royally screws up in the last few episodes.

* Toboe of ''[[Wolf's Rain]]''. Let's see: adorable, shy, clumsy, quirky, instills the need to hug? Yep, all of the above.

* Asuka Sugo from ''[[Future GPX Cyber Formula]]'' is an early example of the trope, especially in the TV series and the first 2 OVAs.

* Aka Onda of the short-lived animated adaptaion of ''Rec'' is an over 18 example.

* Most of the female charaters in ''[[School Rumble]]'' are moe.

{{quote|His appeal didn't spring from any sort of trustiness, but instead from the feeling that if left to his own devices he'd probably end up walking off a cliff somehow.}}

* Ellis from ''[[El Cazador de la Bruja]]'' (and to a lesser extent, Nadie) is completely moe. Taco song, anyone?

** Adult (North) Italy, too! Strike that, he's moe at any age.

** Basically, just about ''every'' major character and then some. It's also proof that even ''male'' can be portrayed as moe.

* Though she's [[Christmas Cake|older than most examples]], [[Cute Clumsy Girl|Miranda Lotto]] from ''[[D.Gray-man]]'' easily qualifies [[Beautiful All Along|after her makeover]]. Her insecurity is [[Squee|incredibly cute]].

** [[Action Girl|Lenalee]] has her moments as well, though she [[Badass Adorable|really doesn't need protection too often]].

* A number of characters from ''[[Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends]]''. ''Especially'' [[Cute Shotaro Boy|Mac]].

* Fluttershy from ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]''. So very much.

*** She was under a lot of stress at the time however, given that all she wanted to do was be friends with the animals and they just kept running away from her.

*** She could also be {{spoiler|[[Yandere (disambiguation)]]}}, which is still a branch of moe.

* Another set of [[Dating Sim|H-Games]] with actual plots and sympathetic characters is Key's works. ''[[Kanon]]'' and ''[[AIR]]'' have both been animated twice [[Bleached Underpants|with all H-scenes removed and practically no fanservice]], and didn't lose much; ''[[Clannad]]'', which was also animated twice under the same contract, was completely clean in the first place.

* ''[[Visual Novel/Wanko To Kurasou|Wanko To Kurasou]]''. [[Puni Plush]] art, loli doggirls and (for the most part) [[Sweet Dreams Fuel]]? ''Kitaaaaa!''

** Speaking of ''[[Da Capo]]'', remeber the character Moe above in the anime section? In the VN there's more to her than meets the eye, and it has to do with her unusual sleeping habits, if that alone is not [[Moe]] enough. {{spoiler|She takes sleeping pills. Not because of insomnia, but due to a tragic incident in her childhood - there was a boy she liked, then one day he died. Overcome with grief, she made a wish to the magical Sakura Tree to see that boy in her dreams. Hence her need to sleep. Thus when the tree withers, she loses that wish, and just breaks down. Awwww}}
