I agree with 0utf0xZer0 on Infinite Stratos.
IS makes me think much more of the classic action-y/fanservice-y harem shows of old (Tenchi Muyo!, Love Hina, Negima!, etc...) than of the eroge/VN adaptations of more recent times (the Key trio, Yosuga no Sora, Amagami SS, etc...).
The main differences being that a "moe show" that's also an eroge/VN adaptation will tend to have more straightforward romance in it, while the harem show tends to have more in the way of slapstick comedy.
It's a nuanced difference, and some shows straddle the line here (Clannad's first season does, admittedly), but once you've seen enough of both harem-y shows and eroge/VN adaptations, you can start to tell the nuance difference between the two. Though I will say that eroge/VN adaptations are in some ways the spiritual successors of the old harem shows.
