When talking about anime with Yuu-chan at "SterTully's" coffee shop, Tomoko
says:

> There's a lot of moeshit anime this season.  
>  Slice-of-life anime is all they air these days, because of the new content
> restrictions.  
>  There are some pretty interesting series, though! Like that EFB show...

This is what the subs from the version I saw said, the actual content may be
slightly different.

Is Tomoko talking about any series that is actually coming out this season? Or
is it just made-up (much like EFB seems to be)?

question
watamote
What series was Tomoko talking about?


The first couple of chapters from the Watamote manga were published at the end
of 2011. This scene hasn't changed from the anime, so the possible 'moeshit'
that she's referring to could be something like

  * [The K-On!! Movie](http://www.tbs.co.jp/anime/k-on/ "K-On!! Movie")
  * [Tantei Opera Milky Holmes Season 2](http://milky-holmes.com/)
  * [Mourestsu Pirates](http://www.starchild.co.jp/special/mo-retsu/)
  * [More found here.](http://www.moetron.com/2011/10/02/winter-2011-12-visual-guide-and-anime-listing/)

But I think it's more of a commentary on how moe-styled anime has become
popular recently, and not about any shows in particular

As mentioned by @Jon Lin earlier,
[AKB0048](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/19/AKB0048_anime_poster.jpeg)
could be what EFB is referring to. Note AKB0048 started airing in April of
2012. The characters are argueably moe also.

It could be a reference to [ef: A Tale of
Memories](http://myanimelist.net/anime/2924/ef:_A_Tale_of_Memories.), made
earlier by the same director. This show is also referenced on [Episode
6](https://i.stack.imgur.com/mGhPq.png) and the OVA.
