This is going to be a very generalized question. But, is Kawaii dead in Japan, and has moe superseded Kawaii? I've noticed is dead in the English Speaking anime community, since... well an Internet Eternity. Is moe deeper, broader and more complex as a concept than Kawaii? Is Kawaii a sub-set swallowed into the broader umbrella of moe?

And do you think a Post Moe era is possible?
