iAX: "Back in 2003, Da Capo for the PS2 fascinated me. It wasn’t really the cuteness of the characters that drew me in, though Da Capo‘s cast (specifically, Nemu and Kotori) ruled the hearts and minds of fans that year. It wasn’t the dialogue either, even though the writing was lauded as well-done and deep. No, it was because someone at Circus decided to pull out the weirdest, most unique character I’ve ever seen in the bishoujo game genre: Murasaki Izumiko."
Japanator: October 10th is a special day for fans of moe and puns, because today is Moe Day! Why, you ask? Well, the Kanji characters for "October 10th" (十月十日) just so happen to line up just right to spell the Kanji character for "Moe" (萌). That makes it a perfect day to celebrate all things moe.
MangaGamer gets the idea, and is holding a "Moe Day" 24-hour sale, starting right now and ending at 11:59PM EST. They've got a raftload of their most popular visual novels and dating sims, including the Shuffle! series, Da Capo!, Kira Kira, Edelweiss, and others, all at half off.
