Kokumono ep 19
current mood: busy
Just a quick note that ep 19's translation is now up on the site. ^_^ Hopefully it's mostly all right now, I found *3* "your" instead of "you're" misses *in short order! -_-; I actually have Ryuuki using the royal we at the ceremony, but suspect I'll have to change that for at least part of it. There's one section where using it makes it confusing if he's talking only about himself or about him and Seien. Bleh. At least with "yo" it's clear he's only speaking for himself. >_<;
But, I think Kurou's even more scary than Reishin in some ways. ^^; The scene where Kurou describes what he did to the servants at Shouka's residence doesn't quite cover what he did. ^^;; "All they could do was, after everything had already happened, to hunt down every last servant, show them all a living hell worse than death, and then, not only kill them, but also send their families the ears and eyes they'd cut off as warning." (Yes, that's all one sentence in the original). ^^;
Anyhow, I still have half of ep 19's timing and ep 3 and 18's edits to take care of now. ^^;
Dear Japanese,
May I introduce you to my good friend, the full stop? He also has an associate known as the simple sentence.
Yes, it's true that they don't have much in common with the complex sentence. However, when you mix them up a little, you find that you have a composition filled with delightful variety and interest, without taxing the reader too very much.
Cheers!

Thanks for the translation!
