Cute girls doing cute things

Cute girls doing cute things, also known by its acronym CGDCT, sometimes expanded to "cute girls doing cute things in cute ways" is a characterization and subgenre of anime (and manga or other media by implication) that centers around cute or moe girls doing things that are generally non-violent and positive. It is often considered a subgenre of Iyashikei and/or Slice of Life.

While the term has been around probably since sometime in the mid-2000s, it wasn't officially documented in the anime media until late 2008 in The Fall 2008 Anime Preview Guide on Anime News Network regarding the anime Hyakko.
