You can't create 'moe'. You have to realize it. Something that is 'moe' has always been 'moe', and if you fail to realize it, it's because you just didn't think of it a certain way. What may be 'moe' to one person may not be 'moe' to another, but that doesn't matter. What counts is that you yourself have that gut feeling of what defines 'moe'.
Oh, yeah, that's the Daily lives of HSB theory

Ah, I see. That means I have no heart that I am unable to feel the force of moe. It's okay, I consider that a praise.

Talking about Danshi Koukousei, it's a favorite. I'm into it mostly for "dudes doing dude things."

Speaking of which, I still have this dream of seeing Kamachi doing a spin-off of the Delta Force's school. Many needs to know on why his school is BEST SCHOOL EVER despite what Touma may Fukou Da about. << trying hard to be on topic.

Hell, the school is aptly called "A Certain High School," so it's a-OK!

I can get behind that sentiment.

I'm kind of tired of all the female focus in anime, especially Slice of Life anime.

I mean, for every important character that is male, there will be 3 or 4 important female characters.

About 90% of the time spent on character development will be for the female characters. 9% will be for the MC (if male), and will inevitably be in the last 2 episodes. The other 1% will be for any other male characters.

Series with a totally female cast - chances are its nothing but cute girls doing cute things, which is boring, because there is very little goal, drama or conflict.

Well, its not like there aren't exceptions.

But I mean, how many series have you watched that follow that formula, where when you've finished you realize nothing of any particular note has happened (or things only happen at the beginning and end, with whole stretches of episodes of meaningless waffle), the characters have either stayed the same or changed in the same way as 100 others, and in the end the entire reason you have any affection for it was because "Its moe.". Especially recently. And I'm geting sick of it.

Anyway, Danshi Koukousei was a breath of fresh air in that regard. At least its meaningless conversations had punchlines, and it was filled with jokes.

Maybe I should do more bromance in my fanworks. Hell, I might be able to pander to a fujoshi friend of mine with it.
Hoho, just try with cute things then, the cutest is moe.

Yeah, I agree there, is hard to find a SoL with actual enjoyable characters.

Nah, I wasn't serious. If anything, I'd like the onee-san approaching young boys route.

In all honesty, I like to know "what happens next" instead of "who's this character, he/she/it looks cute." Character interactions are like topping for me, so yeah. Index series has been chill with that for me.

In fact, my interest in this series picked up after hearing a certain character interaction with another, and that was after Toradora ended.

Maybe I should be a bit weirder if it means getting an amusing reaction from you Chaos. You never cease to amuse.

That's a very interesting idea you got there. He should just publish a 4-koma in Monthly Gangan or Gangan Online or something : "The Daily lives of The Delta force". Sure it will be a big hit.

Fujoshis aren't all that different, actually, when it comes to characters' overall appearance... only it's about the male characters. Not even Danshi Koukousei is safe from them for that matter. And there's the Delta Force... and with the power of fujoshi, even Shiage can be very handsome.

Quick question

On Railgun SS novel.

Mixcoatls are stated to be over mach 2, on the toaru wikia is mach 1.

The satellite is stated to cover a 1km area on 1 and in the novel 10km.

Which is the correct info?

When in doubt, trust the LNs. I personally think the LNs are more reliable than any wiki.

Yes. I remember when I had to pound the fact that Pole Dance was not Ball Dance

Did you use Violence Doughnut and various fighting styles to get the point across?

Well, we could say it was pole dance basing in Heavy Object. Kamachi has the habit of writting similar things in his works. We can take the pole dance as an example because it appears in Heavy Object(vol 2 chapter 2) too and the V-shaped swimsuit(railgun SS2) in A Simple Survey(Aisu's case).
