The Japanese concept of "moe" (pronounced "moe-ey" with a long "O" 
followed by a long "A") in regard to anime is a distinction of young,
 feminine innocence. The concept was quite popular among Japanese 
otaku during the early 2000's but by some reports is already dying
 off. The word "moe" as it's used relative to anime, is written with
 the kanji that literally means "to sprout." There's been some 
argument over the true origin of the term with suggestions including
 it being an abbreviation of the name Hotaru Tomoe (Sailor Saturn) 
from Sailormoon, it stemming from the name of the cute young female
 character Moe Sagisawa from the 1993 anime TV series Kyouryuu 
Wakusei ("Dinosaur Planet"), and it originating in the Japanese
 word "moero" meaning "burning" as in cute little anime characters
 that incite a "burning spirit" in their fans. But the most logical
 and commonly accepted theory is that the word comes from the idea 
of small, young anime girls that can be nurtured into maturity. The
 concept of "moe" is a recognition of a character's innocent, 
childlike charm and can be represented through personality or 
speech or both.

The best way to understand the idea of "moe" characters is through
 examples. Sweet, innocent and feminine young anime girls including
 Sakura Kinomoto of Card Captor Sakura, Hotaru Tomoe of Sailormoon,
 most of the cast of Sister Princess, Saya from Peacemaker Kurogane,
 Tsubame Sanjou of Rurouni Kenshin, and Kokoro from Kokoro Toshokan 
are prime examples of "moe" characters. If we look to slightly more 
aged characters, Chi from Chobits, Kirika of Noir, Mahoro Ando and 
especially Minawa from Mahoromatic, and Kurumi from Steel Angel
 Kurumi are also "moe." Kirika, Chi and Minawa are "moe" because
 they're so cypheric and malle
