The dere-moe Project is a group blog made and written by Filipinos. It aims to tackle Japanese pop culture, but focuses primarily on anime and manga.

Why the name?

We really don’t know the origin of the name exactly. Perhaps it’s because of adtcruz’ fascination with combination of different terms. One day, during the days when he was thinking of a name for the group, he was discussing with a couple of internet buddies about tsundere and yandere. He researched about the origin of the terms. When he came back to his Twitter client’s window, he saw someone talking about moe, the name “dere-moe” came upon his mind.

How were you formed?

Inspired by the number of anime blogs accessible on the internet, adtcruz got inspired into making or joining one. He was also inspired by the people running the Philippine Online Chronicles, Cocoy Chronicles, and The Megane Pirates. Last but not the least, he remembered on how Pinoy Tech Podcast was formed, which was formed on the microblogging site, Twitter. It’s also in the microblogging site where he realised the influence of four people, which include Rom Feria, Cocoy, and Janai.

The dere-moe Project was born in April 16, 2010 with 8 members. Three additional staff joined them a couple of weeks later. Because of a misunderstanding with a fellow member, the co-admin decided to quit the group and remain solo in his blogging career. And now, a new member contacted adtcruz via Twitter on joining the team. adtcruz later had him join the team.
