I really like the hen zemi style.

>>287447521In the late 90s early 2000s it was such a controversial direction for anime and manga that several artists who had been instrumental in its development and spread either disavowed it or left the industry. Most notable is Toshio Okada, the self-proclaimed Otaking of Gainax, who joined the side denouncing character moe-focused media as an insular dead-end and abandoned his crown.
>>287447521what a gay and shit postso you find all of anime cringe and annoying?
>>287448071interesting. could you elaborate or give us links to explore on the topic by ourselves? >>287448134its fine when those characters are part of a wider content/plot but when its used as a tool in itself to estimulate otakius is very boring and samey
>>287447521It's very cute, but it's not my kind of anime. I like stuff like record of lodoss, or those PC98 games based on that era. fantastical without being to self-referential or ironic. >>287447591
>>287447521>using felli of all characters on thiskill yourself
>>287448400I'd first suggest getting a grounding in the subculture history by watching classics like Otaku no Video and reading the major commentators such as Okada, Eiji Otsuka, Hiroki Azuma, and Ryota Fujitsu. As soon as you feel like you have a good contextual grounding you can look specifically at material written during and about the peak of the moe period. Rather than just looking for translated books, make sure you include English language journals and academic publications because the Japanese studies journals are filled with translations and discussion of these Japanese authors.
>>287447521I feel it's kicking ass
>>287447521>Chrome Shelled FeliosNow that's an anime i have not seen in a long time.

>>287448760that bitch is always angry. needs a corrective r*pe
>>287449225>the peak of the moe period.2002-2009?
>>287447521
>>287450948Sure, maybe a bit earlier to include the formative period. Remember, "moe anime" is heavily associated with the Lost Decade where things like degenerating character designs into moe blobs was part of the cost cutting. Limited animation, deformed characters, simple backgrounds.

>>287451208A rare instance of the best girl actually winning.
is it a coincidence the correlation between these types of design and the so called "feel good" shows?
>>287449225>As soon as you feel like you have a good contextual grounding you can look specifically at material written during and about the peak of the moe period.some examples?
>>287453429Azuma's book on Database Animals is the most direct way into the time and topic even if you don't end up agreeing with what he says.
>>287453831i already read it? another?
>>287447521I remember watching this as a kid thinking it was good, then I realized it was just harem shit when I got older.
