'''Haruhi:''' Moe! Moe! This girl's a prime example of moe. It's a rule that in stories with strange things going on, you need to have one moe character. Someone with [[{{Meganekko}} glasses]], or in a [[{{Meido}} maid costume]] or anything fetishy. It's essential! And that's just the beginning! She's tiny, but she's got [[GagBoobs bigger breasts than me]]! I mean, look at these things! They're immense! This is another important aspect of moe.\\

->''Now, a lot of people, myself included, have referred to moe as a genre before, so let's just set the record straight and say definitively: Moe isn't a genre... technically - in the same way that {{Shonen}} isn't technically a genre, but people often refer to it as one because of the trends and commonalities we find within the shows. In this case, "moe" describes the general theme and tone of the show and its characters. For the most part, a show someone would drop in this moe genre would likely just be a SliceOfLife drama or comedy, but with how broad that definition is, it doesn't really tell you what you need to know. ''Manga/{{Planetes}}'' and ''Manga/GreatTeacherOnizuka'' could also be described in that way, but they sure as hell aren't moe shows. ''Manga/KOn'' and ''Manga/LuckyStar'' may not have been the first examples of Cute Girls Doing Cute Things, but they sure as hell cemented the concept into the mainstream, and, more importantly, directed moe down a more defined path, because it was sure as hell these shows' successes that others tried to emulate. (...) What Creator/KyotoAnimation did was perfect a working formula. It made moe more targeted, more marketable, it was a tangible thing that other companies could try to replicate. You had the more rounded, cuter artstyle, a bunch of character archetypes, [[ImprobablyFemaleCast an almost all female cast]], little to no romance, scenarios you could put them in, and a fresh new audience that found out this was a thing they wanted and would invest deeply in.
