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.

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.
