Oldschool moe anime?

No.386479 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
K-On is widely considered the starting point of the moe trend. That doesn't mean it was the first series that did that, though. Moe was present in anime much earlier than that. Can you help me compile a list of pre-K-On anime that have characters designed and written in such a way they could fit into the modern standards of what "moe" is? What I'm looking for are series with characters (especially female characters) that have colourful, visually appealing appearance, combined with a very naive, childish behaviour, written pretty much to be as cute and adorable as humanly possible. Everything from 2006, down to 1950s works. The more examples you're able to find, the better.

So far I've got:

>Ichigo Mashimaro (2005)
>Chicchana Yukitsukai Sugar (2001)
>Binzume Yousei (2003)
>Chobits (2002)
>Di Gi Charat (1999)
>Read or Die OVA (2001) (Yomiko is kinda moe)
>Renkin San-kyuu Magical? Pokaan (2006)
-Mai-Hime (2004) (Mikoto is a typical moe catgirl through and through)
>Jungle wa Itsumo Hare nochi Guu (2001)

I'm aware that it's probably not as interesting as that "full frontal nudity in non-h anime" we had a few weeks ago, but I hope I can count on the help of local anime know-it-alls. Thanks in advance for the help.
