[...] Dukes, and my favourite example of this is the chain of decisions surrounding Lydia, ‘the Moe Princess‘. Tytania doesn’t fit Lydia, though I imagine she would say it’s the other way [...]

@LJ: Tytania is an amusing mix of contemporary and classic (e.g. contrast the intro and ending sequences). It’s a bit awkward here and there, but on the whole I like what it’s done.

I’m down with footnotes so far, but I won’t commit to them just yet. Colbert’s book was full of footnotes; it got really annoying after about 20 pages.

@DrMaeno: Hence my tolerance of Lydia and Krauser-tan.

Hell if it is well written Moe can be tolerable .

The way I see it, there are good concessions, and then there are bad concessions. I’d say a good one would be changing SPESS WURFARE to be more visually interesting, even if the writer is sacrificing some of his (painfully classical) original principles, (Like using TROOP formations in 3D space,) or updating the archetype cast to be more subversive of modern character types.
A bad one would be fundamentally altering the way characters are treated to appease a modern fanbase that doesn’t really know what it wants.
Bravo, Ishiguro. You’ve still got it.

Aside: Footnotes are a manly and efficient way to get your thoughts out without breaking flow. They’ve worked for textbooks, they work for Dave Barry, and I dare be sworn, if I could figure out at least their alt codes, I’d make them work for me until their fingers broke.

@Hyunk: Indeed, nobody’s more moé than Dante.

@Rakuen: Here we go!!

@Panther, RogerOskaner & Epi: Tytania is the exception to the rule. In any other show, Lydia would be 5 years younger, cry about everything, carry a magical baton, get caught changing into her panties, speak at a maximum rate of 5 words per minute, and end every sentence with some nonsensical phrase like ~nano.

@otou-san & nililn: I haven’t seen either of those yet. I’ll start when I get through Hokuto no Ken (currently about 65 episodes in).

@jcpenguin: I can’t believe it took 13 comments for someone to say that.

@The Sojourner: YOU WA SHOCK!

This episode was pure Moe! But yeah the episode turned out to be pretty good, and totally not what I expected.

I was dreading it at first whan I heard that episode was Silly Loli Adventures in Space, but then I was watching it, I thought hey, they is actually pretty good! And she’s a pretty good character!
I guess anime can still surprise me, even when it comes to lolis.

I almost died of shock when I saw the word moe while browsing Baka-Raptor.
