Question? Why does Tomohiro address his sister as Aniki? I've always associated Aniki with older BROTHER or at the very least with Yakuza addressing another Yakuza in the same "family". I never knew it could be used for a female relative.
I'm confused, and is she really even his sister? |

Hmm, I guess I miss the old days of Bottle Fairies, Sister Princess Repure (not the Sister Princess that made it to the US) and Magical Nyan Nyan Taruto and characters like Lumiere, Sakura Kinomoto, and Mint which were the only things considered MOE. Now even Mikuru is MOE and she's like a rather well developed 16 year old love interest.
I recall the article written by Akamatsu Ken where he said MOE is to elicit feelings of caregiving in the viewer. Now it seems that anyone who's cute and sweet is MOE and it has shifted from the sweet little sister to the perfect girlfriend. I'm just wondering how Kaoru found this show and why it was being compared to other idol shows like Lemon Angel Project and Full Moon when it's purpose is nowhere near the same. Why she even stuck around for 6 episodes when it's not for her is a mystery and blaming the show for being a poor example of it's genre I felt was unfair, I rather believe she misunderstood it's purpose, that's all. Maybe I'm coming from the wrong angle here, maybe I suck at explaining myself, maybe I'm looking at things that aren't there or maybe I'm just doomed to forever be in the misunderstood group of guys that turn all squealy when watching new episodes of Tiny Snowfairy Sugar. Sigh. |

Can't argue with you there. I hate her ever since she interrupted Touko and Tomohiro's "date". She always appear bringing pain to Tomohiro. What was she said before? "You're not allowed to approach my idol?" Didn't she knew that it was Tomohiro who formed the first and second batches (as was said by Ms. President on the first ep.). And now....
Spoiler:
-- Never knew that Mizuki's VA is the same VA for Nemu in Da Capo.

For episode 8, I have to admit that I don't quite get all the dynamics at play here, but things are progressing.

KenOhki'sRage may have something in that previous post. Maybe I was just expecting something from this show that it wasn't designed to give. I do like some (real, Akamatsu Ken-style) moe. I like Kanon, for example. But I never understood the appeal of pure little moe shows like Bottle Fairy, Little Snow Fairy Sugar, etc., so maybe that is what's going on.
I certainly share his disappointment at the general debasement of the term moe. But I do think Mikuru is also moe, because of her vulnerability. I am willing to allow a little sexual feeling into the term, unlike Akamatsu Ken, perhaps. But the SaiMoe tournament was a total travesty, in my opinion. It was really a "who turns you on?" tournament. Anyway, just to prove that I still pay some attention to this show, I found it striking on the official site how many live events they were putting on in support of their rapid-fire DVD- and CD-releases. Seven CD events in November (over three days) and six DVD events in December, with Gotou Yuuko or Sakai Kanako, in Akihabara, Fukuoka, Nagoya, Yokohama, etc. There was also a list of the seven character singles that are being released over seven weeks, with online comments for the current week: 10月25日~10月31日 OP -- Nogawa Sakura 11月1日~11月7日 Mizuki -- Nogawa Sakura 11月8日~11月14日 Kotoha -- Nakahara Mai 11月15日~11月21日 Mai -- Momoi Halko 11月22日~11月28日 Miu -- Gotou Yuuko 11月29日~12月5日 Hina -- Chihara Minori 12月6日~12月12日 Ruri -- Sakai Kanako And Nogawa Sakura and Sakai Kanako have an online TV show for Rabudoru. The episodes are on this page. Under the pictures for each episode in the bottom half of the page are two orange buttons: the left-hand one is for narrow-band and the right-hand one for broadband connections. Those two seiyuus already are regular hosts on anime interview shows on broadcast TV, so I expect Rabudoru has got some publicity that way, too.

Yeah I shouldn't have gotten persnickity. I guess I just feel that the few people who understood me and where I was coming from are no longer agreeing with me.
I'd say I was still upset at SaiMoe especially with the addition of girls like Lindy Halloun (A mother of a boy OLDER then two other candidates) and the lack of even 1 Powerpuff Girl Z made me think that MOE is no longer what it should be. Sigh. Episode 8 Spoiler:

Episode 9 continues to move us closer to the goal (which is confirmed as episode 13, by the way).
