This week we talk about Tsukimichi: Moonlit Fantasy S1 which was Jeb’s pick. We talk about how Makoto gets pulled to another world, but then instantly gets rejected by a vain goddess for being “ugly”. From there he builds his own life and founds the Kuzunoha company coupled with a hidden demi-plane for demihumans, and contracts with Tomoe and Mio while butting heads with human society mostly on ideology. Jack contrasts manga vs. anime (the “ugly” bit hits both worlds) and floats a theory that Makoto’s magic pressure warps how humans see him; and the two other “pretty” heroes exist mostly as goddess eye-candy. We also touch on several other aspects like archery, his element quirks and the Level-1-forever gag vs. why he won’t fake it.

Show Synopsis

Tsukimichi: Moonlit Fantasy follows Makoto Misumi,a highschool student that gets sent to a fantasy world by the moon god Tsukuyomi due to a contract his parents had, only to be rejected by the resident Goddess of the world he was going to for being “ugly.” As a result he is stripped of the “Hero” title before his adventure even begins. Makoto is forced to carve out his own path, quickly amassing power and allies: the dragon Tomoe and the calamity-spider Mio. He also makes the Kuzunoha Company, builds a hidden demiplane where demi-humans can thrive, and clashes with huyman society and the goddess.
