fps.moe - Figure Photo Studio Does Moe Introduction!

Instantly greeting you with superb work of moe figure photoshoots!

Here comes the introduction page of FPS. It is an Indonesian circle consisting of figure photographers called JF, Vixion, Allgroassai, nikicorny, and Kixkillradio. According to the site, its inception begins during Anime Festival Asia Indonesia on September 1-2, 2012 when they shared their photos to other attendees. Since then, FPS was present in several of Southeast Asian anime conventions. This is the only its introduction website found, perhaps they've moved to this new domain to take the opportunity of the .moe gTLD. FPS' main online presence is on Facebock.

Examples of Non-anime usage of .moe gTLD

As announced by Interlink early in April 2014, anyone can register a .moe domain and declared that .moe domain is not only meant for anime related websites. There is no restriction at all on the content or the owner, which mean some websites with .moe gTLD don't have anything to do with anime at all, perhaps because of the meaning of "moe" in other languages whether in full or abbreviated, or simply for the sake of uniqueness.

1. Laura's personal website 

This personal website have no sign of anime at all. Instead, you see her own apps, websites, IT, and others, none of which have any remote relation to anime.

2. A résumé 

A resume of a potential game developer! However, none of his work have any remote connection to anime. He also have a portfolio and also a blog. It's a curious fact that Ministry Of Education is simply Moe.

3. Personal website of a forever alone 

Although his post have anime related photos, it's only a small fraction of all the photos he posted. The website is purely meant to represent himself, and not his moe interest

That is it for the examples. Now, this is typical of any unrestricted content gTLds and don't be furious to any non-anime websites. This is Kagami Hirasawa, signing off.

This third website is being constructed (at the time of this writing) by Castanet Doujin, a character artist Doujin circle consisted of 3 people whose members are Xeph, Peach and Kaho. This circle is specialized in drawing characters from either other anime series that you might know, or from their original design. They draws in quite a wide range of suitability, from SFW to strong Ecchi. And their fully drawn works looks like those from standard anime studios!

Present-day overseas otaku culture and society that could affect the popularity of .moe domain

Even in the year 2014, the trend of moe still continues on without much trouble in the anime industry. However, the same thing could not be said for otaku culture and society of the overseas, especially Western otaku culture. In the last 5 years, the moe trend were still widely accepted among the otaku, but nowadays, the acceptance is quietly decreasing. One of the most popular or successful anime series don't have any aspect that could be associated with moe. Here are the two reasons I could think of that would affect the ultimate popularity of the .moe domain.

1. The most popular or successful anime series in 2013

Is it moe? Just forget it, it definitely isn't.

You would already recall Attack on Titan anime series which had swept deep into the majority of the otaku society. The anime is really, really exciting to watch, it is such a popular and successful anime in the large epic scale. But AoT does not intend to have any aspect of moe at all. Yes, it is totally true that the anime series can forgoes cuteness and still proves to be able to become popular or successful.

Who would be having the upcoming .moe domain?

Just from the gTLD name alone, which is .moe, you can already tell that this domain is definitely aimed to put together websites that will have anything related to anime or otherwise cute Japanese culture and stuff. But, who would likely be the people who wanted to have their new .moe domain up and running the most? Let my imagination and theory run just beyond this passage! Don't forget to read the gTLD Periods page to know how each phase is. I don't think anyone has explored this yet, so let's move on!

Phase 1 | During the Sunrise Period

During this period, it is most likely that the companies, especially Japanese animation studios, would be the one who would be quick to get their new official website with .moe domain name registered and have their trademarks secured. The chance of registering under .moe domain could be much higher if the animation studio are specialized in providing cute and lighthearted moe anime series to the industry.

New blog becomes a semi-permanent part of me!
