Moe DEFINES anime. People who dislike moe are actually normies obsessed with western cartoons but choose to watch the ones coming from Japan because they know how to animate things.

moe = anime

"anime" without moe = western cartoons from Japan

Isn't personality part of character design? And for me, at least, one that's more important than the way they're depicted.

>>141779061
What do you consider "unoriginal moeshit"?
Almost all the SoL I've watched always had some sort of original gimmick. Gochiusa had a nice setting, and KinMosa worked surprisingly well as a comedy.
Sansha Sanyou might be moeshit, and it's pretty lackluster.
>>
Moe IS anime

>>141779247
I don't care about ponyfags as long as they stay on their board. As far as I'm concerned they're the same as furries. And I've not had to deal with either of them in years.

Don't take it to a literal extreme, you don't need to be a genius to know what can be deduced is unoriginal

It's still art, it's just not considered "muh high art" because it's not old/made by sad poor people.

Why does there have to be groundbreaking storytelling for it to be worth watching?
It's a SoL, the genre is intentionally relaxing because you know nothing serious is going to happen other than some minor character drama. Not every form of art has to push the boundaries and have a unique style.
>>
>>141780107
No.
>>
>>141780224
All anime must have some kind of drama or a goal towards or else it's pointless. Nobody watches anime to "relax", we watch it to be entertained.

First of all, fuck off and suck a dick. Secondly, no it isn't. As much as some people like to pretend, moe has been part of the medium in some form since its conception, so it isn't killing anime any more than the fats inside your body are killing you.
