“I don’t care what name they call them. I honestly don’t. Call them Moeblobs, whatever, just keep making the level of character interaction that is making them so enjoyable.”

Not everyone finds them enjoyable. This is coming from someone who loves slice of life and character driven anime. K-ON, for instance, is forced when it comes to character interaction which makes the whole anime feel superficial and shallow.

“People shouldn’t be complaining about moe in the slightest. They’re too shortsighted. ”

That’s just straight up ignorant and biased. Moe, as an element to the overall work, isn’t a big issue. In fact, when done right, it can add enjoyment to an already well-developed medium. However, moe, at least in the recent years, have become something else entirely. Its genre is based upon the industry trying to milk its fanbase, which, again, results in shallow shows.

“”Excellent work on those! Now how do we bring the best elements of them into the other genres to strengthen them to this level of audience satisfaction while maintaining/enhancing plot and storytelling quality?”"

You’re forgetting that the type of show you’re describing have existed prior to the moe-boom. Shows like Martian Successor Nadesico was entertaining because it mixed genres with high level of character interaction and this was made way back when. What moe has done is made Ruri from MSN the made character and put a large amount of focus on her moeness rather than anything else. So by going with your demands, we’ve basically come back to where the anime industry was prior to the moe-boom.

I’m not a moe-hater by any means and I’m always willing to give any genre or series a try. Just thought I should correct your misconception of the current state of the anime industry.

  If a genie misinterprets your wish, weather wilfully or to be a jerkass, it’s not a lesson of “be careful what you wish for”, but “be careful of who you make wishes to”.

  You’re right, I got confused over something I read or saw a long time ago I guess. I think there was a director or something that saw all kind of film as a type of voyeurism in a sense (so, “technically” was totally the wrong word to use, at least, lol). I had something to do with the entertainment and/or enjoyment (not always sexually, of course) of watching what is essentially other people’s (character’s) private lives in motion without them knowing.
