Lucky Star - Konata and her "Moe"

[Stolanis]

Katawa Shoujo in a nutshell.

[Blackdragoncrsr71]

verla a ella haciendo sandeces tan MOES con sus amigas me hace preguntarme a mi mismo......

WHY!!!! WHY!!!! COSTARICAN GIRLS ARE SO FUUU- UNCUTE-MONKEYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!.......well just my luck i think..............:(

[yosh087]

what does MOE mean , don't worry I am old enouth to hear the exact definition

[Xinrus94]

@yosh087 Moe isnt anything bad just so you know ^^;

Moe is just eh extreme love of a character or anything along those lines, or at least thats my definition of it, many people say it differently ^^

[yosh087]

@Xinrus94 I'm still prety mutch confused about moe your explanation is ............to vague

[Xinrus94]

@yosh087 Its hard to explain... If you watch anime regularly, then im sure you have had a character that you have fallen in love with right? Not just a favorite character, but one you absolutely love?

[yosh087]

@Xinrus94 If I understand correctly moe can have a sexual meaning?

[BladeOfForsaken]

i'm a guy, is it possible for me to be MOE

[Xinrus94]

@BladeOfForsaken You can always find someone else to be Moe -3-

But I guess you could always consider yourself Moe... If you loved yourself that damn much.

[zaberfang]

in other words, She's watching "IM-MOE-RAL" images : )

[KaylaNoelle1]

whats immortal moe? i know what moe is but im confused

[ddrstandard2008]

@KaylaNoelle1 "immoral" moe is bad :)

[KaylaNoelle1]

@ddrstandard2008 OH! I read it wrong ... now i get it O.o"

[pokafesu0101]

[Escapulario100RN]

So... they have the same kind of moe that I have in my computer?

[sakurashay]

[agentyounce]

@sakurashay definitely dating sims

[TheShredder1234567]

[Sonicfan1396]

@TheShredder1234567 lol you just made me think of gurren lagann...

[MastirZen]

[SweetNightcore]

[ecasebier1]

[eeveetastic]

@leo16xxvii nO. kAWAII MEANS CUTE IN JAPANESE.

[mrthomson1202]

what does moe mean

[PinkiiDesu]

This is just like me and my friends.

Its like at art club.

Me: "Oh yeah, Emmy! I looked up Doujinshi last night! ..You were right... TT.TT"

Emmy: "I told you so."

Me: "I should have listened. Even my perverted mind couldnt handle it."

Sammy: "What are you guys talking about?"

Me & Emmy: "AAHHH! NOTHINNGGG!!!!! YOUR TOO INNOCENT SAMMYCHANN!!!"

[Kuairi]

@PinkiiDesu Me and my bestie Hannah does the same x3

[SoraJ14]

One could only guess why those girls thought the picture was moe! Teenagers... Lolz. :)

[thesporeshow]

:3

?

[catagon12345]

Why was the image buggy?

[ACreepyPriest]

@catagon12345

I'm guessing they're hinting at the image being sexual, in Japan they censor the crotch area in pornographic material so it appears scrambled (buggy)

[catagon12345]

@ACreepyPriest lol so they were looking at porn?

[ACreepyPriest]

@catagon12345

More likely one of those x-rated Japanese anime games aha.

[catagon12345]

@ACreepyPriest like a dating sim with fan service?

[ACreepyPriest]

@catagon12345

Well it's left up to your own imagination but either way it's perverted and hilarious.

Man, I love anime haha.

[PsychoSilverAkita]

Patricia's expression just screams "LOOK AT IT!"

[Techn0taku]

Game:2 girls and 1 cup XD

[NightfallGemini]

Mew~ Mew~

[xPixelDreams]

@XxEntaroAdunxX oh..............

[XxEntaroAdunxX]

@lollipop76460 or shotas...

[ChibiAngelKotone]

I feel so sorry for Yuu-chan, they patronize her too much... :(

[NvSpProduction]

Wait... Isn't Patty the same age as Yuu-chan?

[AngelDragnonfly]

@NvSpProduction but Patty is an otakuXD

[Sonicfan1396]

hmmmm did they find something of an "ecchi " sort???

[thunderstorm997]

@Sonicfan1396 ROFL, I think you'd be closer to home with Hentai... Lmao...

[Ghorda9]

/b/ is infamous, many innocents have been lost

[sakurashay]

jajaja my face is the same when my sister enter to my room and i'm watching a "moe " scene

[Christiangamer2012]

Patty doesn't realize she is one of those insanely moe characters ♥~♥

[cutelady654backup]

episode?

[Katana9990]

isnt this image bugged?

Nope, thats Porn

[Stojfrisk]

Moe from the Simpsons is moe.

[MrNauran]

From comfortably enjoying immoral moe, to getting embarrassingly caught, to defending a young girl's innocence.

[blazingfuryoffire1]

@MrNauran and all in 30 seconds

[ChibiTails]

You guys know you could just look it up on fucking wikipedia, right

[HotaruWaffle101]

@ChibiTails Ikr! Noone even bothers to look on Wikipedia!

Moe (萌え?, pronounced [moe]) is a Japanese slang word. It means "a rarefied pseudo-love for certain fictional characters (in anime, manga, and the like) and their related embodiments."

I copied and pasted that just for the lazy people who do not know how to use Google ^^

[rockraven5000]

@HotaruWaffle101 wow what a description for two letters XD

[HotaruWaffle101]

@rockraven5000 LAWL IKR x]

[The1AndOnlyMike]

@HotaruWaffle101

In other words, the embodiment of an anime character that you would fuck if she were real, because they're too damn cute.

[HotaruWaffle101]

@The1AndOnlyMike

*cough*Miyuki-san*cough*

[Nettacki]

@The1AndOnlyMike Moe also refers to a certain quality in a character that makes you wanna reach out and protect them.

[nitrobutane]

@HotaruWaffle101 ahhhh plz dont copy wikipedia's awkward words, coz 'pseudo-love' sounds just wrong 0.0

but w/regards to finding out 'Moe', 'Yaoi' and so on it is better to click Images after pressing enter ;3

[dieorby]

@HotaruWaffle101 can you tell me what kawaii is then :3 too lazy to leave youtube :3

[HotaruWaffle101]

@dieorby Kawaii is just the Japanese way of saying "cute" :D

[NatsuDragneel999]

@HotaruWaffle101 You know what... screw Wiki... to me, MOE will always be glasses and stockings!

[ChibiTails]

So that's what they call it now, huh?

[jiajiano]

uh.....moe is more of being shy....

[SkyHowlKoda]

Ero games...

[sqweebs2]

SAVE THE INNOCENCE!!

[Winterfox001]

Dosnt moe mean sexy?

[themagnumx11]

@Winterfox001

It's more of a "cute" than "sexy". Take for example, vastly oversized eyes that have at least 3 light sources on them. Oversized eyes is quintessential "moe". There are other descriptions, but just google image search "Yui Hirasawa" and you'll end up with the perfect example of moe.

[KingCRUNX]

@themagnumx11 Better yet, Mikuru-chan :D

[Amisbro]

which episode is this again?

[kashiwamizu]

Moe can be broadly described as certain characteristics that considered attractive (or arousing, in a sexual point of view) to an individual or a group of people. Yes, moe has many archetypes, but a (hopefully) proper broad definition can be summed up as such. Therefore, if a girl consider older man to be attractive, we can say she has 'ossan-moe' ('ossan' means old man).

The more general translation 'cute' refers to the type of moe associated with little, innocent, and pure-hearted children.

[Purrdy]

Can't get enough of that Cat =^.^= nya~zzz

[PaweuGM]

Lucky Star has pathetic moe level. K-On! is much better :)

[lleonard168]

@PaweuGM though it's still awesome on tons of levels....

[KingCRUNX]

@PaweuGM It's a matter of flavor really. Saying one is better than other is no fact, just opinion.

[PaweuGM]

@KingCRUNX True :)

[PrincesTomboy]

oh, one thing to add; the reason they use the word for bud is because buds need to be gently cared for in order to grow and prosper, either a child or a physical plant bud.

[PrincesTomboy]

moe, roughly translated, is "bud". It's used to refer to a budding child, it usually means a character [more likely female than male] who has cutesy childish aspects [as opposed to annoying childish aspects. clumsiness and shortness are cute aspects, screaming when they don't get what they want is not], or alternatively it's a character who the watcher feels inclined to act as a parent/caretaker of because ot their weaknesses.

[TheBehemothShogun]

"It still looks immoral..."

[DensetsuShonen]

It's not for you :D

[THANATOS112220]

Konata was probably playing some sorta adult datin sim. I'm not into sim games, so that is not my thing, but a lot of otaku people have at least tried one out (I did, but its just not my thing). I prefer to play normal video games like Zelda or Pokemon.

[MultiAnimeFan98]

@THANATOS112220 I like the way you think :P

[THANATOS112220]

@MultiAnimeFan98 Thanks.

[MultiAnimeFan98]

@THANATOS112220 yuuup :3

[THANATOS112220]

@MultiAnimeFan98 (:

[MultiAnimeFan98]

@THANATOS112220 :P

[Aznmelon110]

-Sniffs hard- Eroge is not for the weak minded! >:O

[gam3fr3ak179]

i think they were watching porn or gay porn idk thats my guess

[iloveJapanese1]

@gam3fr3ak179 They weren't watching porn, konata was playing an adult dating-sim

[gam3fr3ak179]

@iloveJapanese1 lol now i know

[iloveJapanese1]

@gam3fr3ak179 Wow fast response

[deamor123]

@iloveJapanese1 ok so that isn't porn, it's just having naked girl with a naked guy, hugging each other lol. That's not porn lol.

Joking, there are differences between porn and Adult-dating-sim, the latter has plot and doesn't always focus on porn and such ^^

[ethanland100]

which episode is this?

[MrSonicfan100001]

For example:

Orihime Inoue-Bleach

Mikuru Asahina- Suzumiya Haruhi no Yutsuu

and finally Miyuki- Lucky Star 

[xXD1MZXx]

whats moe?

[MrSonicfan100001]

@xXD1MZXx no, moe is certin areas of a female anime or a manga character (her butt, boobs, or face, etc.) that makes the character look more flirtatious (flirtatious: flirty)

[warriorcatspoolfur]

@msanimelurver1 hmm...guess what? DESU DeSu dEsUuuu! (I'm bored) Tamama from Keroro Gunso says desu all the time (well he is a beginner...)

[nativejesus1]

well moe is hard to say what it is, but how i think of moe is a funny fault of the charactor such as miyuki's fear of things going into her eyes, and clumsynis of tripping over her own feet ect. hope that helps trying to describe "moe" for anyone who asked what moe is ^\\\^

[iMacromediaFlash]

@nativejesus1 i see where your getting at but im pretty sure it's not limited to clumsiness.

[jackalhunt1]

@iMacromediaFlash Meganekko-moe, "glasses-girl moe", describes a person who is attracted to fictional characters with eyeglasses.

The archetype moe character is used in some anime and manga, such as Miyuki Takara of Lucky Star. The term moe is often also used to describe either a character who is, or a form of media containing, moekko, therefore Lucky Star is a moe-anime for example.

There are a few other types of moé such as younger sister and butler themed. Damn word limit :(

[DuykRuyk]

@iMacromediaFlash There's a full wikipedia page about moe.

[PenguinX45654]

@iMacromediaFlash clumsiness is one type of moe. Moe is like a fetish or turn on.

[mousepointer12]

@iMacromediaFlash Miyuki diesn't trip on her own feet, the air get's in her way!

[SpawnSpectre]

@iMacromediaFlash It's about how the character can make anything look cute.

[crypto66]

@nativejesus1 Moe is simply being cute, really. May it be through clumsiness, tsundere-ness, being innocently vulnerable, or my personal favorite, glasses. That's why it even has "sub-groups" as to how exactly moe a character is. Not just what you said.

[kaprincess09]

@nativejesus1 um...moe is more like:cute,sexy,beautiful ansd stuff like that

although Konata is mainly using it as 'cute'

[Gigobyte13]

@nativejesus1 clumsiness of being pr0n up with other people around and embarassment

[OlaCola03]

@nativejesus1 moe means cute and sexy at the same time. I just explained it.

[LucyFanBoy]

@nativejesus1 It means "a rarefied pseudo-love for certain fictional characters (in anime, manga, and the like) and their related embodiments." Basicly any character that bings about positive feelings of like or love in the viewer can be considered "Moe".

[xSRGDarknessx]

@nativejesus1 It's not exactly a "Funny fault" It's more of a "Turn on", that comes in the shape of things like that. I've also heard that it's a term for the cuteness of a younger character in a manga/anime.

[Emanfox333]

@nativejesus1 OH! i thought it meant hot cat girls with glasses

cause thats the pics i always see with "moe"

[TheK12314]

@Emanfox333

... That is called "Furry", and Furry porn is called "Yiff". Why I know this? I spend WAY too much time of 4chan.

[Emanfox333]

@TheK12314 whats 4chan?

not trying to keep this going or to be funny

just i really don't know

[TheK12314]

@Emanfox333

Oh, nononono, I don't mind at all! 4chan is a chat board/forum website with many different categories, including the famous /b/, which I am a frequent visitor to. There are some people, like you, who have never heard of it.

[Emanfox333]

@TheK12314 whats the famous /b/

[TheK12314]

@Emanfox333

Hmmmm... You're an uninformed one, aren't you? The "Famous /b/" is basically just a forum about.... Just about anything you can think of. It is like the "Off-Topic" forum of 4chan.

[ZelddaLinkFreak]

@TheK12314

rule Number 1 of the internet, Do not talk about /b/

rule number 2 of the internet do NOT talk about /b/

[Saavykaas]

@ZelddaLinkFreak /b/ is not some secret exclusive club you can't find unless you know where to go. Sites like that exist and aren't as frequently used because of their exclusivity.

/b/ has all the exclusivity of a semi-obscure blog at best.

[ZelddaLinkFreak]

@Saavykaas i dont make the rules, i just enforce them

[SKODWARDE253]

@Emanfox333 DEAR GOD DO NOT GO TO /b/!!!!!!!!! It will scar you.

[ppyporpeem]

@nativejesus1 moe i think is when a character have their cute moment or some sort.

[annie19999]

moe moe so funny but does anyone know what it really is?

[iloveJapanese1]

I like the look on cousin Yui's face when she walks in.

[TheBlackBloodNinja]

I didn't think Patricia liked A-rated games.

[XAFinalFantasyX]

what's moe? :<

[mega227]

Ecchi games...some are already moved to other nations

[vocaloid9299]

@msanimelurver1 well, if I like to watch anime and read manga, but never replace words with stuff I learn in anime, REALISE that I don't know everything about Japan, and stay sensible about it, then what the heck does THAT make me?

[thisisrandomXD]

@vocaloid9299 i think another comment said something like a half weeaboo...?

[SoULiekMudkipz]

@vocaloid9299 A weeaboo.

[Animehem]

What's Moe or do i not want to know?

[thisisrandomXD]

@Animehem i'm not quite sure either...

[chachamarukarakuri7]

okay i get that some people hate Patricia Martin for being a weeaboo but i dont get whats so annoying about them

can someone please tell me;:3

[AwesomeGirl113]

@chachamarukarakuri7 I think it's 'cause some of them freak out people who don't watch/read manga & anime, and then people who aren't weeaboos but love anime & manga are looked down upon because of it, that and they cause for some troublesome trolls o3o

[chachamarukarakuri7]

@AwesomeGirl113 wait if you read manga and watch anime but your sensible about it then dosent that make you a half weeaboo

(inuyasha reference there if you didnt get it)

[AwesomeGirl113]

@chachamarukarakuri7 ...You just might be onto somethin' thar o.o (I got it X3)

[chachamarukarakuri7]

@AwesomeGirl113 BITCHIN THAT JUST THE REACTION I WAS LOOKING FOR!!! ;3

[extrememonaXXX]

@chachamarukarakuri7 whats a Weeaboo? does it mean stupid or something?

[msanimelurver1]

@extrememonaXXX A person who wants to be Japanese so badly and thinks they know all about japan just by watching anime such, they always use "desu" at the end of every sentence even though they don't have half a clue what it means and replace the word cute with "kawaii" and replace other english words with Japanese ones that they learned in anime (and use it in bad context)...They're the most annoying type of people and give normal anime fans a bad name.

[CherryBlossomRed08]

LOL @ when yutaka walks in

[deansusername]

@sonicgreg

No no, it's an H-Game.

[steelersfan826]

They're in High School? They look no older than 11 .

[BeckieTenshiChan]

@steelersfan826 konata's 18, i can't remember the others

[REDDD2o09]

@BeckieTenshiChan wrong shes 17 near da end of da seris konata is 16 in da beging of da seris

[BeckieTenshiChan]

@REDDD2o09 i thought she's 18 coz she has a birthday and is then actually allowed to play the r-rated games she has

[REDDD2o09]

@BeckieTenshiChan wat is r rated games

[BeckieTenshiChan]

@REDDD2o09 adult games

[REDDD2o09]

@BeckieTenshiChan oh caz i thought it waz called A rated games isnt rated r for movies not for games caz i never seen a adult game with with rated r i seen RATED A GAMES and der were porno games

[MushroomHedgehog]

My guess is that was an M-rated game. Or 16+. The latter is a CERO rating, the Japanese rating system.

[MrNauran]

Cousin Yui comes in and they're all defensive...

Cousin Yutaka comes in and they're all protective!

[smartguyjaja]

patricia is nothing like s americans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

except for talking way to much

[HarbingerGunner]

@smartguyjaja how so? she luvs Anime but know absolutely nothing of japanese culture except for anime

[smartguyjaja]

@HarbingerGunner well i didnt say she was of a jappenese culture but we american otakus know enough about jappenese culture to pass of as jappenese (if we look like one) yet she is clearly a rock that can talk :P

[HarbingerGunner]

@smartguyjaja i never said she was of japanese culture either. Most Americans, even ones who love anime and manga, know absolute shit about Japan.

[OriginalYTPooper]

@smartguyjaja no

[narutofan9999]

@smartguyjaja

nay, I daresay that most self declared otakus know nothing about japan. Already because a person who did should realize that "otaku" isn't something you'd normally declare yourself as.

[1115LightAngel]

this has actually happend to me before, i was showing my friend something i found on the internet when my older sister came and then my little brother came in and we tried to cover the computer

[greenday2themax]

I like how Patricia is the same age as Yuu-chan, but still block her from seeing XD

[tenks360]

@greenday2themax The age isn't even factored in here. The reason they were preventing Yuu-chan from seeing is because of her innocent personality and appearance.
