The medium of moefication

Relationship between moefication and other techniques

Moefication and gijinka

  • Moefication and gijinka are two overlapping concepts. Gijinka is one of the specific methods of moefication.
  • There are differences between the two. On one hand, being moe is not limited to objects being transformed into people. On the other, gijinka is a traditional creative technique that has existed since ancient times, which is somewhat different from moefication in modern ACG culture.

Moefication and jotaika

  • Moefication and jotaika are two overlapping concepts. Gijinka is a specific method of moefication, while jotaika is one of the specific methods of gijinka.
  • Since young girls generally have stronger curves than men or older women, they tend to be more moe and more likely to make people feel moe. Therefore, jotaika is one of the most important ways of moefication.
  • There is a difference between the two. Nantaika can also be a form of moefication, but this creative technique is not aimed at the majority of males.
