lord_jagganth: Exactly, SaiMoe has become shallow I think. More about popular series and which girl looks the best (sometimes) rather than about personality and such.

LilaChan: Yup, Sakura was the first winner and the second winner was Riku from DNAngel I believe. But no shoujo girls since there. It saddens me since I do agree that shoujo girls are the most moe.

I’m not sure how you can find Kagami moe, but not Utau. Since I find them to be in the same basic realm of tsundere, except Utau has some confidence (bitchiness) and such added on. I find Utau very, very moe when she gets all blushy or weak (like in episode 43). But that’s part of the wonderfulness of moe~ Everyone sees it differently.

As for Amu, well it’s only when she gets all tsuntsun and embarrassed that I find her moe. I find her the least moe out of my three favorite girls anyway. Oh, but then again you have to include her chara-nari’s sometimes. In which case Amu has like…four different moe appeals (well maybe no Amulet Spade since that’s basically just Amu’s cool side).

I don’t think a moe tournament for boy would be that successful. An overall bishie contest would be good though.

I’d disagree since Ikuto recently became the cutest anime boy ever to me. At least when he’s a little kid. I find moe as the urge to glomp, cuddle, and protect something so in that way Ikuto would be moe to me. But I still don’t find boys moe at all. To me it’s mostly a girl thing.

If I have to vote for the most moe character from a shoujo series, it MUST be Rima-tan. Utau wouldn’t be what I call moe, half the reason why I love Utau is Nana Mizuki. I dont find Amu-chan moe either. I find Kairi more moe then Utau and Amu-chan added together.

I personally agree with 2008 SaiMoe, Kagami getting first place? Yesh Kagami <3 As much as I love shoujo, there is a definately a lack of good shoujo anime. Good shoujo animie doesn’t come all the time. I’m still wishing for a KyoAni treatment for a shoujo series, I am depressed that 801-chan is canceled, well…I currently adore munto <3

Please have a Moe-Tournament for male characters please. I will SO vote for Chiaki-sempai or Dojo-KyoKan. Sorry Ikuto fangirls, as great as Ikuto is, I dont find him moe. Male tsunderes FTW.

7’s last post…This poster and other things…

Trishy: Basically. At least I’d say that’s how it is for girls about other girls. Heck, even fanboys admit to being that way (though less girly about it, lol).

Xiao Jie: *return glomp because glomps are fun~*

I can only hope that they will listen. Fanboys are such stubborn, tsundere boys when it comes to girls getting involved in their moe debates. (They don’t want us girls to know about their secret likes)

Yay! If 7 is a guest host he can have yet another harem opportunity and then we can all tease him some more.

As far as other smart intelligent fanboys go, there’s someone I’m hoping takes an interest, but I’m keep who to myself so that I don’t scare him away. We fangirls are too good at scaring boys away with our GIRL POWAH!

Yes! Moe is an abstract term. I may prefer the classic moe (Sakura-chan~) but anyone can find anything moe. I just absolutely will never see any appeal in one-dimensional chibi characters (like from Lucky Star). Except Eru…she’s an exception. She’s too darn cute.

It’s impossible for you to become annoying. I love your rambling and thanking and all of that. Oh and an honorary mention and gift. I want to see~ If I’m the best helper do I get the best gift?

紅夢: Don’t be a spoilsport.

It’s not meant to be a judge of moe as a whole, but just among the shoujo girls. The ones who can’t compete with the fanboy bait of random loli’s and one-dimensional characters.

If someone from Shugo Chara wins (meaning Rima or Utau) I’d actually say that’s a good measure of moe. I mean as a mahou shoujo anime, moe is almost automatically present. Though if Amu wins, it will be more about being a popularity contest (though she has her tsuntsun and shy moe charms). If anyone from Skip Beat wins (since they all pretty much break out of the shoujo and moe molds to some extent), I’d say it’s a popularity contest.

*Thinks*

Despite being a fan of Shoujo/Josei series, I’ll probably hold out on this. I can already see it ending up as a popularity contest rather than a contest based on “Moe”. Maybe I might nominate a character or two, but aside from the normal “guys” who prefer fanservice, I really don’t see it being an accurate judge of “Moe” as a whole.

This is especially true if characters from Skip Beat or Shugo Chara happen to win or take the majority. But then again, I could be wrong…There’s always that chance.

Omg, thank you!
And thank you again for addressing this to the fanboys in such a nice, wonderful FuyuPWNSNOWOBEIMEH!!! way. xDDD

I totally want boys to participate in this as well because if it’s only just girls, it wouldn’t be a bad thing but it would be like you said. Too boring. Which is why I think I’m going to invite 7-san to be a guest host, too, so I can read his opinion about shoujo girls in general. I want intelligent, male insights on the whole vast field of moe and not just fanboys who would go for girls with the biggest chest while they’re putting on a “cute” (*shudder* ewgh) face. To me, that’s not moe at all…that’s just excessive fanservice and no more than that. -_-;

And (sadly) since there are fanboys who do just that, then they shouldn’t complain about girls wanting their own favorites to win purely because they think their anime girls are cute. Moe, like what nazarielle-san said in his one of his past posts, is an abstract term. So it’s pretty much open to the limitless sky. Not restricted to a single girl who wins a popularity contest.

Ah, but I’ll save more of my rantings for the later events. Haha

I really thank you so much again for all the help you’ve given me (I’ll continue to do that over the course of the tournament so I apologize if I might become annoying, ^^; ) and I’ll surely give you an honorary mention and gift when the contest is over. As the proud founder of SoMT, I have to so you shall accept it no matter what so I hope it turns out good *sucks at being artistic* T_T! >:D

Yep. I have so many plans on how to make this tournament even more exciting so please look forward to it! ;D

warrior: Thank you, hun~! *showers you with shoujo goodies* <333
