title: "moe anime recommendations"

i haven't posted about anime in a while, and i am too lazy to focus on a single
|
|
show so i'm going to instead post about several shows. in particular, this post
|
|
will focus on shows that i find to be lovably **moe** because, well, *moe is
|
|
smegging awesome*.
|
|
|
|
> side note: this post will contain a lot of pictures because i'm not writing
|
|
> reviews, just listing recommendations, and i couldn't decide on which ones to
|
|
> use so i used a lot.
|
|
|
|
because this post is dedicated to anime that are moe, it's only appropriate to
|
|
start with the show which coined the phrase "***moe moe kyun***":
|
|
|
|
## k-on
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
a lot has been said about k-on by a lot of people who know more about the anime
|
|
industry than i, but i would be remiss if i passed up an opportunity to tell
|
|
people how much i love this anime. although if you want to learn more about the
|
|
show, i highly recommend looking up some videos about the significance and
|
|
impact k-on has made on a privacy-respecting youtube frontend.
|
|
|
|
> i do *not* recommend doing this via the official youtube site or app,
|
|
> however, because of google's unethical collection and usage of user data.
|
|

**k-on** is essentially about `cgdct` (**cute girls doing cute things**). more
|
|
specifically, it's the story of a group of girls as they go through high school
|
|
who make up the school's light music club and form the band `houkago tea time`
|
|
(after-school tea time) aka **HTT**. the songs in the show are amazing as well.
|
|
including the openings and endings (i have a soft spot for the season one ed,
|
|
personally), but also the songs they play throughout the series and film.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
coming up with a list of favourite anime is a hard thing to do. it's impossible
|
|
to rank some things properly, if you know what i mean. but i have over the
|
|
years come up with at least a top 3 i can use when people ask me what my
|
|
favourite anime is, and **k-on** is one of them.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
if you have visited my fediverse instance at
|
|
[lets.bemoe.online](https://lets.bemoe.online/) (or `lbmo` for **l**et's **b**e
|
|
**m**oe **o**nline), you'll see the background i use on it currently is yui
|
|
from k-on, as is my current profile picture:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
i know i have said very little about the show itself in favour of posting pictures but i did warn you at the beginning.
|
|
|
|
> i'm going to do a brief recap of what i've said in earlier posts about moe anime before getting back to ones i haven't talked about yet
|
|
|
|
## machikado mazoku
|
|
|
|
the show i most recently [wrote about](/posts/2019-10-18-moe-masterpiece-machikado-mazoku.html) if my memory serves me correctly, and it was also mostly a picture post.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
so just posting a couple of the pictures here is a fine enough recap (\^.\^)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
also the ending was pretty unexpected so look forward to that.
|
|
|
|
## sora no method
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
this is a show i have talked about in my [part 1](/posts/2019-07-15-sora-no-method_eva-and-the-ultimate-question_part-i.html) and [part 2](/posts/2019-07-26-sora-no-method_eva-and-the-ultimate-question_part-ii.html) posts where i talk about **sora no method** as well as **evangelion**.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
it's super cute and has an unexpected yet satisfying ending. one of the avatars i use on fedi is from this show:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
there are a few funny similarities between this show and the following show, the most obvious being the name being similar.
|
|
|
|
## sora no woto
|
|
|
|
`そら` can be translated as 'sky' or 'heavens', `の` is used to show
|
|
possession, and `をと` can be translated as 'sound'. so **ソ・ラ・ノ・ヲ・ト**
|
|
can be translated as 'sound of the sky'. both sora no woto and sora no method
|
|
have adorable characters with the name 'noel' (although to be fair, in sora no
|
|
woto it's spelled '*noël*') and are both shows i would classify as `moe`.
|
|
all in all though, sora no woto and sora no method are *very* different shows.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
i am quickly running out of steam and all my own (and preferred) screencaps of
|
|
this show are on my other computer, so i'm going to have to make do with some i
|
|
found online. i may edit this in the future to have my own screencaps in it.
|
|
for now, you'll get a few pictures and a few words. and the last show i was
|
|
going to do tonight will have to wait until next time. ごめん。
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
make sure you watch the whole thing including episode 7.5 they couldn't air on
|
|
japanese television because of underage drinking. this show deserves to be seen
|
|
in full.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the beginning of the show is happy and fun, but as it gets further in there'll
|
|
be darker elements and emotional scenes. this isn't a bad thing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
this anime is surprisingly deep especially when comparing it to some other
|
|
shows on this tiny list. there is a lot people can learn from this anime.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
one of the ultimate selling points for this anime is its absolutely incredible
|
|
ost. i have the soundtrack and listen to it often.
