message: "Tales of Agriculture" isn't actually a translation of "Moyashimon", it's just a subtitle or tagline for the series. So really the article should be called Moyashimon I think. I don't know for sure what Moyashimon means (if anything), but it's been suggested that it could mean "yeast culture", or be the name of Sawaki's family's yeast-making business.

replies: text: Yeah I was wondering about that too, but in Anime News Network page, it is listed as Tales of Agriculture. Perhaps, it is planned to be released in U.S (either in manga or anime) and that might be the chosen english title.Stevefis (talk) 03:56, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  About the title "Moyashimon (もやしもん)" - Yes, it has its (vague) meanings and I think I understand them to some degree, but I guess it's extremely difficult to "translate"; to say the least, it's more than translating "Good Will Hunting" (the title of the movie, of course) into other languages without losing its meanings. - Well, I'll try anyway. It's basically "moyashi-mon" and "moyashi" usually means "bean sprout" but it's originally a nominalized form of the verb "moyasu（萌やす)" (make something shoot/bud/grow/etc.) and the usuage here is the original one, I guess. - Or is it an adnominal dative, not really a noun? By the way, the jargon "moé" also is originated from this word. And, the "mon" is an informal form of "mono" (者 or 物) which means "thing" or "one" or maybe similar to the English suffix "-er". So, I guess the title vaguely refers to the microbes surrounding Sawaki and us.  210.151.207.174 (talk) 01:00, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: "Moyasi(もやし)" is the jargon of a mold starter in Japanese brewing industry. Because the mold hypha of the aspergillus is similar in appearance to bean sprouts (Incidentally ,that called "moyasi" in Japanese,too) . In addition, "tane-kouji-ya(種麹屋)" that managed by Sawaki's parents is also called the alias "moyasi-ya(もやし屋)". Although Masayuki Ishikawa had not declared the origin of "Moyasimon", he said that it was related to "moyasi-ya".--220.15.32.84 (talk) 13:08, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

text: "Tales of Agriculture" is, as Samatarou said, the original sub-title (or a part of the title) of Moyashimon; it's like "Or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb" or "Stardust Memory" (Gundam 0083 you know) and I think I can safely conclude it is simply wrong as the title of this article now. Well, as for the ANN page, I guess they are not free from errors, as well as editors of Wikipedia. Anyway, I'm going to move this page. Darksider (talk) 23:46, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

text:  I've seen no evidence that Kei is anything other than male, even though he seems to be more comfortable dressing and acting like a girl. Being feminine and gay doesn't make the term 'her' more accurate than 'him'. Samatarou (talk) 01:54, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Would it be noteworthy to mention that Moyashimon is extremely similar to Mushishi? Herorev (talk) 03:02, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't see the similarity, but even if there was one, it would be original research. It would have to be sourced to a review in the reception section, and even then, I'd recommend sticking to quotes that are talking about Moyashimon specifically. Doceirias (talk) 03:05, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It's easy to find people comparing Moyashimon and Mushishi. Although I don't think a few random comments scattered across the internet will make a very good source. Herorev (talk) 01:15, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

message: Moyasimon: Tales of Agriculture → 
It's time to move the page, folks. Moyasimon is used on two volumes of the manga. Moyashimon is used on the drama released by FUNimation, and for the second season from Crunchyroll. If you google, "Moyasimon" almosy every result is talking specifically about Del Rey's manga release; while googling "Moyashimon" gives you a broader search.
As noted above from WP:MOS-ANIME#Article names and disambiguation: If there are multiple official titles, use the one that is best known and that has contributed most to the work's becoming known in the broader English-speaking world. These two series are what have contributed most to the series becoming known in the English speaking world, not Del Rey's two volumes of manga.

message: I suggest to put the "voiced by" and "played by" in prose form. This isn't a requirement for B3 but I believe it's more organized and modern that way. (Characters of the Final Fantasy XIII series, Characters of Smallville). Meanwhile, the microbs section is why I'm holding back on B3. Are they like pokemon, can be summed up in volume or episode summaries? They don't really seem significant right now. I don't have an idea fix in mind either. DragonZero (Talk · Contribs) 00:41, 22 December 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: The microbes is similar to Pokemon as in new microbes are introduced every chapter/episode and only last for one episode. However Aspergillus oryzae is like Pikachu in Pokemon, in that it shows up in pretty much every episode to introduce other microbes. Extremepro (talk) 01:46, 22 December 2013 (UTC)
