lists.moe - MyAnimeList style website with simpler layout!

Well-colored .moe layout. Top image changes regularly

Simple enough, this anime database website loosely replicate MyAnimeList. However, this site don't use MAL's database, it's separate. Now, this website didn't gain traction; extremely few users here, and majority of info on anime entries aren't entered in. The website design itself are in the modern (2013-) style. Each entry on the main page are clearly sorted. And on the entry page, there is User Activity, which is the difference. The feature is fine in this state as there are very few users. The recommendations tab is not yet implemented at the time of this writing.

As of right now, this .moe website might not fully take off with thousands of users. Still, a nice exercise in making an anime database website. May you someday start your own .moe website. This is Kagami Hirasawa, signing off.

Addendum

On December 30, 2015, the operator of the lists.moe website has contacted me! They got their surprise as I responds. A forums for lists.moe has been created on December 27... It's One Punch Man fanbase forums! Also, they've promised to have a site overhaul, with news feed, video entries and reviews, manga entries and review, and some more!

P.S. Does my blog getting kind of going toward the semi-annuity basis?

inspire.moe - Be Moe-Inspired And Motivated With Positive Quotes!

The main Tumblr page of Inspire Moe. (Positive Art) They're positive!

Although, the Positive Art website is actually a Tumblr page, the page design and its potentially life-saving content is more than worthy the inclusion and writing on this blog. This tumblr page all all drawings are done by Linncaki, who, according to original Tumblr page, is introverted and dedicated to drawing. Every of her drawing is original and the quotes are well chosen.

Both visual novels has and is being created with Ren'Py Visual Novel Engine. Rosin also has its development blog which uses Tumblr platform. Now, before continuing on to my first impressions, the main characters of Starswirl Academy is directly inspired by My Little Pony's Mane 6 (Main 6 pony characters). Is that a deal breaker? If that is fine with you, which is the case for me, then read on!

nekomusume.moe - A Site Giving You Neko Characters In Just A Refresh!

Order a new moe neko character with a refresh!

This .moe website is very simple and basic, for each refresh, you will receive a new picture of a character in cat form! Also, every picture comes with the artist name on the bottom right of the image. This webpage is managed by AnimeNeko, Now, the website is SSL certified with Comodo Positive SSL. I don't really think that is necessary. And because of that, the Positive SSL logo is visible from the bottom right of the page. Can't it be hidden somehow?

After all though, this specific purpose website might be useful to you if you want to quickly grab anime pictures of a moe catgirl characters. If so, use it to your desire! May you someday start your own .moe website. This is Kagami Hirasawa, signing off.

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 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!

Idoloid.moe - Technology News Blog From A Humanoid Robot Developer

Standard news blog, but mainly about robotics, and moe.

The FIRST website, Idoloid.moe, is a news-type blog written by MaidProgrammer, who is developing a humanoid robot in Seattle, US. Also developing a game engine for the rest of 2014.
What he has written so far are about the .moe domain updates, what he is up to with robotics, and (but not limited to) technological Microsoft news.

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.
