So I've come across the term "moè" several times and, not knowing what it meant, decided to educate myself. I wikied it and got a definition but I'm still a little confused/curious. Could someone explain a bit about moè?

The condensed answer=something super cute and non threatening

I can't give a longer, more detailed answer at the moment because Goroawase has fried my brain

Watch a couple of episodes of Haruhi Suzumiya for a great definition of Moe. But on the off chance you are not one of those billionare children who can ask daddy for a credit card and go buy what anime stuff they want at demand, I'll give you a short def.

Bassically, moe is the ASPECT of implied sexual innotation or innuendos. Suggestive outfits, Big boobs, stereotypical turn ons (sexy nurse, bunny outfits, such such such) Bassically it is the tacking of a sexual aspect onto anime or manga. smile Something so unbelievably cute that it turns you on.

Ok everyone is right, but they are missing something.

Moe also refers to girls that look like a cute minor.
Or even girls that are cute, but are minors.
Basically a ***** in Japan uses the term a lot.

I'm sorry u had to know this sad truth...but it happens.

There's no satisfactory translation for the term, which is why the Japanese term is used.

This should be a little less confusing than the Wikipedia description.

EDIT: Holy thread necromancy, Batman! I didn't realize this thread was as old as it was. sweatdrop
