Dude its a show about 13 girls being all cute and innocent of course it is moe show and if not please explain.

No, its a show about 13 girls, aged 14 to 21 rising in the Japanese idol industry. Along the way they are, in fact, cute because...well, thats part of the whole "idol" aspect. And as for "Innocent"...ahahahahahaha. Seriously. Did you watch the show?

And you still have no idea what moe means. Goddamn.

I agree some of the episodes had that struggling towards stardom tone but those moments were rare.It was just full of cliches that you can fund in moe genre(there were episodes which had no purpose but just to show their silly characteristics)and they really were not trying hardly to portray us idol subculture sure they put a lot of work hard and you will get it motives in it but is that all there is to idols of course not a show with premise like this could exploit much more but creators decided to focus mostly on moe aspects of the show so that they could please people like you.

A) Moe is not a genre

B) PUNCTUATION. Goddamn man, use some [expletive] periods!

I mean, it seemed like the show went out of its way to make it as repulsive as possible.

I'm quite certain it did.

And I can still think of dozens and dozens of more disgusting things that have been in mainstream entertainment.

HAHAHAH nice so do you always change subject when you lose??
Moe can be defined as genre because its purpose is to cause moe reaction, and has similar target audience.

It is entirely subjective. You can't really blame people for being grossed out by this, and therefore may not wish to continue watching due to their own, subjective reaction.

No, moe is not a genre. It would be so ludicrously wide to be utterly meaningless.

And I didn't change the subject, I'm actually attempting to educate you on the actual meaning of the term, and proper grammar.

Simultaneously!

Maybe it's the spoiler["you'll become physically ill if you don't keep sucking it" thing. Also, how does she know about what her drool does if he's her first boyfriend?]

Tragedy-a genre which intents to invoke sad feelings in its audience
Comedy-a genre which intents to amuse by creating laughter.
Thus by looking at definitions of those two genres we can conclude that moe which has intentions of invoking a moe reaction is genre.

And by and large saying a work is a "tragedy" or a "comedy" tells you very little of use.

Both of those reactions are also far, far easier to define than the "moe" reaction.

By the way, what is the last character you felt moe for?

spoiler[Who ever said that Akira was her first boyfriend?]

I think it's implied at this point at least.

Of course not.

But there is a big, BIG difference between "I found this icky so I'm not going to watch anymore" and "THIS WAS THE MOST DISGUSTING THING I'VE EVER SEEN AND ANYONE WHO LIKES IT IS A HORRIBLE PERSON"

I assume you can grasp why the first is not a problem, and the second most certainly is? And which description most accurately represents Zac's "review"?

Yeah but in G&G you lose your clothes THEN die.

I'm talking about where your character loses the moment her clothes are blown off. Plus, it's not even a fighter.
