While looking thru Wikipedia I stumbled across an article on Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto, the Japanese moon god and it all kind of came together after that. At first I treated it like a wrong turn and was going to leave the page, but something urged me to read further and I just fell in love with the whole idea and decided to adopt the name for myself (not because I think I resemble a god in any way, shape or form, obviously but mostly because I found the story -particularly Tsukoyomi's relationship with the sun goddess, Omikami- strangely poignant and powerfully engaging). I don't know, it just felt like something I could identify with.Helios wrote:How did you pick your name?
Yes sir, very much so. My first anime was Urikupen Kyjuotai, back in 1995 and I haven't stopped watching them sinceAre you into anime?
That's really cool! My name is from the Greek sun god, so we have something in common there. Do you have a lot of interest in Japanese mythology?Tsukuyomi wrote:While looking thru Wikipedia I stumbled across an article on Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto, the Japanese moon god and it all kind of came together after that.

What kinds of anime do you prefer? Sub or dub versions? Do you read the manga as well?Tsukuyomi wrote:Yes sir, very much so. My first anime was Urikupen Kyjuotai, back in 1995 and I haven't stopped watching them since
Thank you for asking and I hope you find the answers satisfying
Ha, I thought your name sounded familiar (although, I couldn't quite place it). In any event, that's really cool and quite unexpected to have met someone named after a foreign deity like myself Other than Omikami, Tsukuyomi, Ame-no-Uzume and the characters mentioned within their myth, I really don't have much interest in Japenese mythology, I'm afraid.That's really cool!

Not embarrassed at all! It's good to know. My apologies for assuming otherwiseLOL Not to embarrass you, but I am actually a ma'am. Just so you don't get confused or anything.
Ooo, who's Ame-no-Uzume???Tsukuyomi wrote:Other than Omikami, Tsukuyomi, Ame-no-Uzume and the characters mentioned within their myth, I really don't have much interest in Japenese mythology, I'm afraid.
I've seen some of Kuroko-No-Basuke. It's pretty good! Tho the girl who coaches the team always confused me because she looks like a very pretty boy at times.Tsukuyomi wrote:I tend to favor sport-based ones such as Kuruko-No-Basuke and Major!
I totally get this, especially with some of the earlier dubs from like the 2000s. They just don't have the same intensity and emotion as the Japanese versions. What foreign media besides anime do you enjoy?Tsukuyomi wrote:I'd rather watch foreign material in its original language, even if only to experience the dialogue and delivery in the exact same words and tone they were meant to have.
What's Boku no Hero Academia about? I hear a lot about it, but I've never watched/read it.Tsukuyomi wrote:I have only read five mangas to date: Pokémon (both the originals and Black and White), Little Witch Academia, Boku no Hero Academia and Slam Dunk!
No apologies necessary! You aren't the first one to call me sir. And in all honesty, I assumed you were a girl!Tsukuyomi wrote:Not embarrassed at all! It's good to know. My apologies for assuming otherwise
That's the Japanese goddess of dawn, mirth and revelry. Her myth is as colorful as it gets and I like their depiction of herOoo, who's Ame-no-Uzume???
I really haven't run into that problem before, but she definitely doesn't act girlyTho the girl who coaches the team always confused me because she looks like a very pretty boy at times.
I don't think so (at least, not off the top of my head). My animé watching schedule took a nosedive around 2007 and was only able to recover in 2015 or so. Right now, I'm trying to sort of backtrack and see what I missed and what's generally considered worth-watching. I should really go back to "His and Her Circumstances" (sadly left it about seven episodes in).Have you watched any of the Free! Iwatobi Swim Club anime?
Mostly movies, to be honest. Chiefs among those examples are Stalingrad (1993 - Germany) and Talvisota (1989 - Finland).I totally get this, especially with some of the earlier dubs from like the 2000s.

It's one of those underdog stories that I love so much. It's basically about a guy named Izuku who is born without power in a superhero society but keeps working at it, trying to make his way into the hero world with his wits if not with flashy superpowers. Very soon he inherits power from the greatest hero of all, All Might, and tries to develop this new-found combat skill. The catch is that, for a really long time, Izuku can't control this power at all and ends up injuring himself severely after every attack, which leads him to use his wits in combination to as little power and he can muster in order to survive these clashes. Very addictive anime and an equally as interesting manga series. Definitely give it a go if you can!What's Boku no Hero Academia about? I hear a lot about it, but I've never watched/read it.
These languages are: English, Finnish and French (the last two are pretty rusty at the moment, though). English is my second language, Spanish being the firstI noticed on your "About Yourself" comment that you taught yourself three languages. Which ones?? And if I may be so bold, is English a secondary language?
*Hugs*No apologies necessary! You aren't the first one to call me sir. And in all honesty, I assumed you were a girl!
It was history, when I was in schoolWhat is your favorite school subject?
Yes, very much so. I'm currently reading Desmond Young's book on Rommel.Do you like to read?
Whit's Flop!What is your favorite AIO episode?
A huge tie between Eugene and Davey at the moment. The latter plays baseball, so it's a tough choiceWho is your favorite character?
AbsolutelyI'm Jo, BTW. Visit me at my Q&A!
*High fives back* I like to study the period between 1912-1945 the most. To me history became interesting after learning about the sinking of the Titanic, as it was the first topic to really grab my attention (I even attended a world event related to the sinking - that's how important it was for me and my ever-growing interest on historical events of cultural relevance).Jo March wrote:I LOVE HISTORY!!!!!! *high fives* What time period?

This is an extremely tough -yet very good- question, since my likes change like the seasons. The film that I liked the most I think was Wicked Blood. Really perfect for such a humble film.GJFH wrote:Do you have a favourite film? (Or series)
Yes, madame. I play guitar (really need lessons, though).Do you play any instruments?
That'd be Whit's Flop!Katie10 wrote:What is your favorite aio episode
Not very far at all, to be perfectly honest. I listen to episodes with @321tumbler as one of those especial things we do (the other one being watching Blue Jays' games together) but we have hardly had the time to do so as of late. Looking forward to more Adventures in Odyssey, though!How far have you gotten in aio
Halloween isn't really a thing where I am (in fact, I have never even seen so much as a trick-or-treater or Jack-O-Latern around) but I'd be too old for it nowadays anywaysand what are you going to be for Halloween?
