I really love the fact that a book like this exists, and is so well written out of passion. This is a topic that completely befuddles many of my anime loving friends because they view "true" anime lays only within the physical drama of a story. For me though, I had been seeing the word "Moe" show up even more frequently as of late. Early descriptions of its meanings lead me to believe that Dorthy R. from the anime, "Big O" was "Moe", but I didn't know why. I couldn't recreate the reasoning behind the decision.I first saw this book during some tumblr scrolling and the cover caught my attention. There were a few lines of a review for it but it didn't keep my interest long. Then, I finished watching Oreimo, and had also fallen in love with the pop idol, Hatsune Miku within the same year. While looking up manga here on Amazon it was suggested to me and I knew who Kirino Kousaka was this time and needed more of her in my life.Waiting for Christmas to come, I added this wonderfully insightful book to my wishlist. I think my favorite part of this book is all the different view points on the same topic. By no means am I an anime historian as I was really late to the anime game, like Cowboy Bebop on Adult Swim late. By the way, Cowboy Bebop, great anime. Back on topic, this book really brings home my favorite type of writing, researching. Researching is where answer come from because it allows the reader to formulate their own questions to all the information being provided.This book isn't going to tell you what, "Moe" means, instead it shows you how time and personal experience can simply allow one find their own way of expressing and experiencing their own, "Moe". Though, that isn't to say you won't leave unable to explain to your confused friends just why you keep saying, "Moe" towards your favorite girl within their "serious" anime.
