180.43.16.157: /* Latest Update List */ Not-logged-in four tildes example.

I'd like to take a chance to thank you guys at baka-tsuki for translating all these novels I can't understand japense at all and after reading a number of your translations i've ended up going out and buying them when they are released so i wanted to say thanks for letting us all read the works when they come out, thanks again-soulwave

Just want to say thank you to [[User:Dreyakis|Dreyakis]] for translating so much of Mahouka. Because of him, this has been one of the best experiences I had with baka-tsuki. Keep up the good work, and may you never get bored. ^_^ --[[User:EZ-Jay|Tortex]] ([[User talk:EZ-Jay|talk]]) 18:20, 22 January 2013 (CST)

Best place to post would probably be on the forum topic. I'll link you to it in a min.--[[User:Gohankuten|Gohankuten]] ([[User talk:Gohankuten|talk]]) 20:30, 6 December 2012 (CST) http://www.baka-tsuki.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=4664

Guys I'm still dependent on my parents and i cant donate or know other language like japanese to translate. But I just wish to say thanks for translating this novel. I have been looking forward for it and check it every other day :D - ChiAji

Hey, so I just read the first two chapters of the anime and I found it awesome. Is there a translator for this right now? - Desodus

Atm there isnt--[[User:J112|J112]] 19:22, 21 January 2012 (CST)

How do you read anime? -[[User:Pryun|Pryun]] 19:27, 21 January 2012 (CST)

Maybe the two chapter of this manga...

Whoops, sorry, I meant to say manga.--[[User:Desodus|Desodus]] 18:43, 13 February 2012 (CST)

Any update on this being updated? From what I've read of the novel and the manga, this seems like a pretty awesome series, and I need moar :D --[[User:Vaane|Vaane]] 18:33, 1 April 2012 (CDT)

Uhh seriously why do people ask? The last update was on the 19th, and from the registration page people are working on other parts. The more you ask the more people don't feel like doing it :( --[[User:Lighthalzen|Lighthalzen]] 21:39, 1 April 2012 (CDT)

The reason I asked was that some of the chapters (namely Chapter 3) have no translator registered, and I was wondering whether there was anyone who was translating and hadn't put their name down. But I can understand the feeling of being annoyed at asking for updates, so forget I asked :P --[[User:Vaane|Vaane]] 10:58, 3 April 2012 (CDT)

Actually, the latest revision was on March 31st (in terms of actually adding translations); Seitsuki added some more to chapter 6, if memory serves. I also hope people will eventually get to translating this. --[[User:CrimsonLord|CrimsonLord]] 17:17, 3 April 2012 (CDT)

When are teaser projects allowed to be moved to the main section? Could really use some more exposure to get more people on board translating. I'm sure the recent manga releases have helped drum up some excitement for the series.

Are the translators doing it by the volumes as they come out on sale, or from online readers? Because the fifth volume just went on sale this month, but on this Japanese reading site, there are 6 volumes online.--[[User:Desodus|Desodus]] 22:04, 18 April 2012 (CDT)

There are 6 volume release online cause the web version is longer than the published one, the published one is the compilation of the web version I just can't remember how they are allocated I think its like this v1-2 of the web version is v1 of the published one, and the total number of web version that will be released is around 12 I think? --[[User:Serice|Serice]]

Interesting... very interesting... I think it would be a good idea to hurry and complete the teaser chapters and then promote this into an official project. Because of the manga version, people over at Batoto are taking an interest as well. And there are many comments mentioning Baka-Tsuki and wishing it was an official project here. [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 15:40, 26 April 2012 (CDT)

This has enough content to become a project, but the problem is, no one wants to list himself as an active translator, I'll give another few weeks before I check back with suarhnir on her progress. I'm glad enough she agreed to take over the manga from me, so I don't want to give her 'pressure', if possible. --[[User:Larethian|larethian]] 20:13, 26 April 2012 (CDT)

Moreover, this project is really hard and time-consuming to translate. It seems to me that even suarhnir who is majoring in Japanese in university (not studying it as an elective mind you) is taking more time than she had expected. --[[User:Larethian|larethian]] 20:19, 26 April 2012 (CDT)

Query: Does Baka-Tsuki accept Chinese-English translations for this series?

I believe the good folk at lightnovel.cn are much farther in advance in terms of translations, but theirs is (obviously) only in Chinese and their work alone. I do not read Japanese at all, but I am confident in my own Chinese-English translations. Would Baka-Tsuki accept my possible contribution if I converted the Chinese translations into English? This is, of course, under the assumption that the translators from lightnovel.cn give the go ahead. --[[User:Dreyakis|Dreyakis]] 22:59, 02 July 2012

I think that as long as you follow registration procedure for the chapters (to avoid overlapping), you can go ahead. People want to see the translation of this great series. If there is any mistake people that can check japanese raw can edit it after. [[User:Xenocross|Xenocross]] 01:14, 3 July 2012 (CDT)

The art really similar to aquarion evol, are they drawn by the same person?

It would be great if somebody could translate the rest of chapter 2 or at least for the time being offer some kind of summary. Iin this kind of consistent story it is almost imposible to read the rest if you don´t know what happens in the previous chapter.--[[User:KaprJarda|KaprJarda]] ([[User talk:KaprJarda|talk]]) 16:35, 10 September 2012 (CDT)

Yeah. I know the feeling. I wanted to read the whole thing but now that there is a gap in the middle I've lost the desire to read further. Someone finish c2's translation including the japanese text in the middle. [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 18:30, 10 September 2012 (CDT)

Let's be patient, the last update was only one week ago, the translator is working on it. Everyone has real life commitments. [[User:Zakashi|Zakashi]] ([[User talk:Zakashi|talk]]) 18:38, 10 September 2012 (CDT)

Yeah, I just notice this too. I thought there wasn´t anybody working to translate it, since it was in this state for months. I didn´t read the history till after writing my comment. So lets hope the rest gets translation as soon as possible.--[[User:KaprJarda|KaprJarda]] ([[User talk:KaprJarda|talk]]) 23:54, 10 September 2012 (CDT)

== Novel illustrations ==

Umm... is it ok if i level the b&w ilustrations? i mean make the black black, and the white white. it's annoying that everything is grey. also crop them where there is a need. ..::[[User:Gradient|Gradient]]::.. 08:18, 9 November 2012 (CST)

Why not give one image a level and give a link to it? I can understand your desire to level things, but I think the gray color suits a light novel. It's a bit too different from manga which has less reliance on shading, so it may not look right if you do it improperly. Then again, I have very limited experience as an editor, and I have no idea what it is you can do, so I guess that may seem a bit condescending of me. Well, if the quality is good, I doubt people would mind it much, but give us a sample so someone doesn't decide they dislike it and re-uploads the picture and gets rid of your hard work -- [[User:EnigmaticAxiom|EnigmaticAxiom]] - [[User_talk:EnigmaticAxiom|Talk]] - 09:40, 09 November 2012 (CST)

it looks like this with the leveling i think it's better but it's up to you ..::[[User:Gradient|Gradient]]::.. 12:35, 9 November 2012 (CST)

I personally think it looks better as well. May as well see what the others think of it. If they don't bother, you can post on the forum to get their opinion (since they might not look here), or I can bring their attention to it if you don't have a forum account. -- [[User:EnigmaticAxiom|EnigmaticAxiom]] - [[User_talk:EnigmaticAxiom|Talk]] - 13:20, 09 November 2012 (CST)

Please do bring this to the forum. If needed i can provide more leveled images. Also it's not realy that big of a work. It's like 5 minutes and a volume worth of images are croped and leveled. <Please post a link to the thread here so i can look at what's going on as well> ..::[[User:Gradient|Gradient]]::.. 13:56, 9 November 2012 (CST)

forget it i registered and made a post in the general thread. ..::[[User:Gradient|Gradient]]::.. 14:51, 9 November 2012 (CST)

well i started uploading them since arczyx in the forum said that they looked closer to the truth, and someone asked me for them to put in the pdf. so volume 1 is up, more coming. these two images have become useless so i'm deleting them. ..::[[User:Gradient|Gradient]]::.. 08:48, 16 November 2012 (CST)

i put up vol 3 and 4 leveled, the rest looks OK so i wont fiddle with them ..::[[User:Gradient|Gradient]]::.. 10:40, 10 December 2012 (CST)

== Missing Chapter ==

Isn't the "Late Great Favorite" a chapter in volume 1 missing, i mean i get why sometimes Afterwords aren't translated as they are just the authors thoughts but does the chapter missing in volume 1 have some kind of plot implication?

If you checked the forum thread you would find out its just some comments from Kawahara Reki(author of Accel World/Sword Art Online) and doesn't contain anything vital to the story.--[[User:Gohankuten|Gohankuten]] ([[User talk:Gohankuten|talk]]) 20:58, 2 December 2012 (CST)

So which brave soul will be translating chapter 16 come do it for your country

== Helping with translating ==
Hello, I really have not idea if this is the correct place or not but here goes: I would like to help, I do not read the Japanese Language very well but, I would like to try to help with the translating. English is my first language and this is my first time ever on a site like this. I enjoy reading Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei so, I want to help get it out faster for everyone. Dec. 6, 2012 username: sqyde
Thanks and if this is the wrong place to post this, sorry.

Try translating 5 pages first. You can post your translations in the Mahouka forum. --[[User:Larethian|larethian]] ([[User talk:Larethian|talk]]) 03:35, 7 December 2012 (CST)

== Volume 4 ==

Is volume 4 fully translated? I was wondering because aside from the Preamble it also doesn't have a "full text" so i was wondering if some little edits were required or if translators were waiting for Preamble to be done before the full text went up. --Black Swordsman825

It's a wiki you know, you're free to set it up when it's appropriate (I've done volume 4 now). Also, from what I understand the preamble is the blue page and the character info/glossary of term pages you can see in the illustrations, therefore it isn't really that important since it (the events/timetable of events) is explained in detail within the storyline anyways.--[[User:Drowzycow|Drowzycow]] ([[User talk:Drowzycow|talk]]) 19:57, 22 December 2012 (CST)

== Volume 5 ==
Hi guys, as I am currently trying to translate the afterwords, I found out that volume 5 does not seem to have one? Can anyone help me confirm this with the Japanese raws? From all the Chinese sites that I go to there aren't any that have include in an afterword for volume 5. Thanks! [[User:Royaloyalz|Royaloyalz]] ([[User talk:Royaloyalz|talk]]) 10:36, 7 February 2013 (CST)

Well I actually checked the raws myself, and have realised that there is actually an afterword for volume 5 as well. However, as it seems like the Chinese translation sites that I went to do not have them, I can only hope that some Japanese to English translator would be kind enough to help translate it for us. -- [[User:Royaloyalz|Royaloyalz]] ([[User talk:Royaloyalz|talk]]) 18:05, 14 February 2013 (CST)

Can anyone link or send me the raw for volume 5? I want to read the machine translation of the 3 middle chapters. Seeing as how it's all character development, I'd like to know more before moving on with the story. --[[User:Mufarasu|Mufarasu]] ([[User talk:Mufarasu|talk]]) 16:19, 25 February 2013 (CST)

Hey guys. I don't know if this was already asked or not, but why are the 3 middle chapters of volume 5 not translated? Just wondering because I like to read thing in order. --[[User:Casary|Casary]] ([[User talk:Casary|talk]]) 22:28, 9 March 2013 (CST)

It completely depends upon if I translator picks up the chapter, as translators are allowed to choose single chapters. Skipping Volume 5 wouldn't affect the story as there "Side Stories" to the main plot :3. Although i would also like them translated.

Oh, I see. They aren't named chapter X or anything. Ok, thanks. A bit of OCD, I guess. --[[User:Casary|Casary]] ([[User talk:Casary|talk]]) 00:35, 12 March 2013 (CDT)

== Inconsistent terminology ==

Some chapters use "Public Moral Committee", others "Public Morals Committee" (I prefer the latter). Also "Club Management Group" vs "Club Activities Group".

i think "Public Morals Committee" and "Club Management Group" souds better. Also please do sign your post with <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> ..::[[User:Gradient|Gradient]]::.. 14:13, 1 February 2013 (CST)

== Volume 7 ==

As I stated at the discussion page of chapter 9, I think "electrons" should be "protons" (check the concept of nuclear fusion).--[[User:Kemm|Kemm]] ([[User talk:Kemm|talk]]) 14:38, 14 February 2013 (CST)

I just had to say this, was anyone else thinking that Tatsuya made a Gundam when they kept mentioning the mobile suit he developed? That picture with the tank didn't help either. I just kept seeing everything turn into a mecha battle lol. Anyone else or am I the only one who got brainwashed like that by the Gundam franchise? --[[User:Mufarasu|Mufarasu]] ([[User talk:Mufarasu|talk]]) 15:10, 11 March 2013 (CDT)

well i was also thinking the same thing at that mobile suit that he developed, but it turns out that it was something like a fullbody armor with all kinds of resistance something. while reading the last few chapters of volume 7 it feels like something like this. IS(Infinite Stratos) vs Gundams in my imagination. [[User:James Gobilzkame|V33]] 15:21, 11 March 2013 (CDT)

arent the pictures from page 225 and 313 showing what the mobile suit look like? --[[User:Syfer|Syfer]] ([[User talk:Syfer|talk]]) 15:31, 11 March 2013 (CDT)

I would think the cover page would have shown you what to expect, as it is already there in full (black) color. If anything it just looks like a all black pilot suit...
In any case, the 'mobile' or 'mobility' suit is basically your flying armor, except since its technomagical its more logical having the 'flight capacity' CAD module as the whole suit, instead of wings or a broomstick. It does show something more practical compared to what more contemporary fiction shows.
And yes, I was also hoping for mecha to appear since the cover had a pilot suit... laughed when the pilot suit Was the whole thing.--[[User:Gabgrave|Gabgrave]] ([[User talk:Gabgrave|talk]]) 04:41, 12 March 2013 (CDT)

I tried reading auto-translated Chinese translations, one already translated here for testing and it's even worse than I expected.

I just want to ask permission to edit the last entry on the latest update list (or you guys could edit it for me, that would be really great), just a minor one 'Vokume 8' to 'Volume 8'. Thanks a lot. SkyZenith 5:47, 30 May 2013 (CDT)

::Done (I accept any responsibility if I've crossed any lines); from my experience so far, no one seems to mind if 99.9% certainty spelling/grammar careless errors are discreetly corrected, even if the corrector is not formally registered for a project. (As a general mode of operation, I mark the edit as a minor edit and leave a brief description of the change(/its reasoning) in the summary.

::Edit: By the way, how did you change your signature? *curiosity* I have my time zone set to 'Asia/Tokyo', and I see 'Recent changes' and History pages with times consistent with that, but my signature is still CDT. I don't mind leaving it like that, since it presumably helps others compare my writing times to others' with litle confusion (and since I can check the History if I forget), but I don't see a way to change it in 'My preferences' and would like to learn about such a way if it exists (out of a desire to know those things I as yet do not). -[[User:Multipartite|Multipartite]] ([[User talk:Multipartite|talk]]) 06:18, 30 May 2013 (CDT)

:::Ahh. Manual writing out? Though it won't include your chosen name, four consecutive tildes should still automatically make a signature which makes it easier to match what you say with an entry in a Discussion's History.

For example, I should have probably requested help with the monkey metaphor I omitted in Presidential Elections and the Queen.

I only have a suggestion. When reading CH 6, I did not know when the time changed happened. May be it is just me. It would do for easier reading to put a marker that time in the story has shifted to the past. Just a thought, don't have to do it. But great work overall.

: It's at the start of the chapter? The 2092AD bit. You only have to remember two years 2095AD = present and 2092 = past. All the jumps in time have also be sectioned off as chapters (so the story doesn't time jump mid-chapter), that's why the chapters maybe short and why there are many of them. --[[User:Drowzycow|Drowzycow]] ([[User talk:Drowzycow|talk]]) 13:26, 5 March 2013 (CST)

Isn't Miya (the mother) still alive in this flashback tho? That being said it should be 2092, and it's young Miyuki and Tatsuya on the beach. --[[User:Drowzycow|Drowzycow]] ([[User talk:Drowzycow|talk]]) 10:41, 26 February 2013 (CST)

Shiba Miya died in the experiment on Tatsuya, which occurred earlier than the events in this flashback. As seen by Maya's visit to them during the Thesis arc, Miyuki refers to her as Okaa-sama, which is why I assume it's the same here. [[User:Seitsuki|Seit]] ([[User talk:Seitsuki|talk]]) 12:55, 26 February 2013 (CST)

Do you mean the visit by their stepmother, Sayuri? During that visit I got the impression their mother only died fairly recently due to statements between Sayuri and Tatsuya,

"Miyuki may think that way. After all, it's only natural for her to be somewhat resentful if her father remarried less than half a year after her mother died. Even though she may act like an adult, she's really just a 15 year old young girl."

"......And you?"

"I am incapable of such an emotional reaction. That was the way I was forged."

"......Well, forget it, regardless of whether that's true or not, that's no longer in my hands. Even so, if we were to talk about that, I hope that you can seriously listen to him, since it was only half a year for you two, but a whole 16 years for me."

--[[User:Drowzycow|Drowzycow]] ([[User talk:Drowzycow|talk]]) 14:52, 26 February 2013 (CST)

Oh.. I forgot that person existed. Her then. Yeah, that makes sense. [[User:Seitsuki|Seit]] ([[User talk:Seitsuki|talk]]) 16:13, 26 February 2013 (CST)

On the Miya/Maya matter: in File:MKnR_v08_004.jpg her name is definitely given as 'Miya', rather than 'Maya'. Also, in scene 31 (of the audio version at least), Maya phones the house from elsewhere to tell Miya and the others to seek refuge in the military base. It may be worth reviewing the part which indicates her time of death.
 | 
Edit: 'As seen by Maya's visit to them during the Thesis arc, Miyuki refers to her as Okaa-sama': I'm not sure which part this is referring to, but in the video call in the Volume 7 full text, I note the term of address 'Oba-sama' is used.
 | 
Two other notes (likewise based on the audio version):
 | 
'Mawari no parasol ha, subete hikiagerareteimasu': This indicates that all surrounding parasols have been {pulled up, that is to say removed, which is consistent with violence having taken place (for instance, getting away from the area)}, rather than 'increased'. The hikiageru 'increase' meaning is for a level, e.g. taxes, and not for discrete objects.
 | 
'renshuu wo mite itadakou': Miyuki, a young girl working hard to learn magic, wants her mother to observe her magic practice (and maybe offer suggestions). 'show me some magic practice' would be 'misete itadakou', and would be odd both as {Miya's magic practice would likely be far too advanced for her young daughter to as yet gain much from watching it} and {Miya is supposed to refrain from using magic as much as possible to avoid the burden on her health}.
 | 
In any case, all translation done is greatly appreciated!

Yes, I had been pretty much going off the assumption I read somewhere that Miya died during the original experiment on Tatsuya (the wiki page simply said she died, no mention of date). Obviously not the case. All other changes have been made. Thanks very much for your work! Have you considered registering as a TLC? Lord knows we need more of those.

Hm, as to your questions.. well, uh, I guess you just keep doing what you're doing now, except you're registered?...

Is there any difference between (or extra steps for) {registering as per default} and {registering as a TLC}, and if so where is the information regarding this process written?

Basically.. you register for a <wiki> account, then you edit your name in under TLC. That's about it. <Forum> accounts are exactly that, for the forum, and is useful for discussion and whatnot but otherwise not really related. As far as I know.

It's not like there're any particular requirements for registering, so long as you have the time and inclination you can pretty much file yourself under anything. If you want to do everything the 'official' way, you could contact our fearless supervisor Lare-tan on the forums I guess. Just slap a post up saying yeah you want to TLC, he'll say sure, yay, or as I said you could just quietly put yourself down in the list.

180.43.16.157: (Cocytus target singular rather than plural.)

(Regarding the Manzai footnote: 'Heiwa-boke' is in fact unrelated to manzai, though from the same root. It's probably closer to 'shougatsu-boke', in terms of describing a state of stupor. Shougatsu-boke is a stupor from late-night activities to celebrate the year changing, while heiwa-boke is a stupor from becoming too used to a peaceful environment (that is, losing one's sense of caution regarding possible dangers).)

Ah, thanks. I knew boke could also mean spacing out, but couldn't for the life of me see how to fit that in and went for something which I thought marginally kinda made sense in context if you made really generous allowances.

Shiba Miya died in the experiment on Tatsuya, which occurred earlier than the events in this flashback. As seen by Maya's visit to them during the Thesis arc, Miyuki refers to her as Okaa-sama, which is why I assume it's the same here. [[User:Seitsuki|Seit]] ([[User talk:Seitsuki|talk]]) 12:55, 26 February 2013 (CST)

Do you mean the visit by their stepmother, Sayuri? During that visit I got the impression their mother only died fairly recently due to statements between Sayuri and Tatsuya,

"Miyuki may think that way. After all, it's only natural for her to be somewhat resentful if her father remarried less than half a year after her mother died. Even though she may act like an adult, she's really just a 15 year old young girl."

"......And you?"

"I am incapable of such an emotional reaction. That was the way I was forged."

"......Well, forget it, regardless of whether that's true or not, that's no longer in my hands. Even so, if we were to talk about that, I hope that you can seriously listen to him, since it was only half a year for you two, but a whole 16 years for me."

Great happiness at the translation! | Possible suggestions: | 'Sugamo', according to V7C3, is where Kinji's grandparents live. Thus, 'Sugamo no grandparents' would be 'my grandparents in Sugamo' rather than 'Sugamo's grandparents'. | For the Anchor, the suggestion 'why don't you fire a few practice rounds?' implies that there isn't just a single bullet in that bag, but rather several. I thus suggest that 'lay a bullet, but definitely no wire? "It seems to be a 9mm Luger?"' be changed to 'lay bullets, but definitely no wire? "They seem to be 9mm Lugers?"' or similar. | Though this may not be a matter of translation, the instruction to 'follow the blue light' (on the air-resistant part) is puzzling, specifically if imagning oneself falling off a building and wanting to anchor oneself. It could thus warrant checking what's being said to confirm that the interpretation is correct. | 'She must just become a millionaire' -> 'She might just become a millionaire'. | I suggest that the phrase 'the single most bloodshed' possibly be altered.

(Correction suggestion: Inconsistency noted between 'Dojigiri' and 'Dokigiri', unless the two are in fact different words.) (Personal reaction to the chapter: Incredible squeeing. I note that this is the first time in my memory that Miyuki's bro-con nature has been directly stated, rather than just strongly implied, in the narration ('Miyuki's answers always automatically triggered her bro-con concerns'--actually, that prompts an editing question as well, regarding whether 'triggered' should be 'reflected' or similar, or perhaps whether it should be 'were always automatically triggered by' or similar... hm.). Great amusement (and of course the squeeing) at the scene near the end, comparing it to her calm denial of that sort of possibility when talking with Honoka in the previous volume. And, of course, it would be an incredible shame by this point if the series someday ended without that line ever having been crossed.

(*great happiness at the translation!*) 'import event' -> 'important event'? | If possible, I suggest changing one of 'was almost seen to be' and 'was seen as', as it currently presents the contradictory impression of being seen as an important event that's almost pointless. | Could the 'so high temperature is required for the entire process' sentence be checked? It doesn't seem to serve as an explanation/response for why a low-temperature thing is being used. | In Chiaki's ranting, she uses 'that guy' and 'that man' several times to refer to Tatsuya, and '"that man"' to refer to a different person. The narration then notes the two listeners not noticing the phrase '"that guy"' in her words, which should be referring to the different person, but which she has only used to refer to Tatsuya. Unless the words used are in fact different, I suggest that those two phrases in double quotes by changed to the same phrase.

(*happyness at update!*) I suggest changing 'roaming these grounds' to 'roaming the Earth', assuming the word to be 'chijou' and given the context of the surrounding sentences. (( 地上【ちじょう】 (n,adj-no) (1) above ground; surface; (2) earth; world; (P) )) Other than that, the sentences in the vicinity of 'had already called it quits' may be worth reconsidering, as other sentences indicate that the culprit had not in fact given up on the greyifying intention. (Or I could be misunderstanding.)

180.43.16.157: Iwakan felt at the use/context of the term 'pervert'; suggestion of 'deviant' or similar as a replacement.

(Checking use of the term 'pervert': Is the original term 'hentai', or something else such as 'henshitsu'sha' or 'henjin'? The impression gained from context seems to more closely equate to the term 'deviant' or similar. If 'hentai', granted, there may be no helping it. In any case, though puns are possible with sexual deviancy (colloquially referred to as perversion), there currently seems to be a (cognitive dissonance?) fairly-large gap between how the context is treating the word and how the reader's brain interprets the word.

180.43.16.157:

Ozone? Can someone double check this in the original text, ozone is even MORE reactive than ordinary oxygen, not to mention ridiculously poisonous. It also has the tendency to explosively revert back to O2. Even if it's accurate to the original text I'd suggest a pragmatic interpretation, say she simulated a fuel cell and reacted the oxygen and hydrogen to water, absorbing the energy as electricity rather than releasing it as heat. Hydrogen rockets run rich so all the oxygen would be used up with H2 left over, preserving the rest of the plot points.

Throwing in my two yen: I'm not familiar with the properties of ozone plus hydrogen, and am now somewhat curious about which situation is correct, but I request that if {the original text is found to be incorrect} that it be left unaltered with a translator's note at the bottom instead, mentioning the [sic] nature of it. Notes mentioning certain Campione historical inaccuracies come to mind. It's welcome to know what mistakes authors have made, but it's undesirable to think one is reading the translation of an author's story and actually be reading something different from it that liberties have been taken with.

Also, though I can understand eagerness to know/show what happens at later parts, it makes me very happy when earlier gaps are filled in to result in a complete translation that one can read any part of if one chooses.

''And then, he collapsed with a thud. It all happened so quickly it was underwhelming.''

Zero2001: Wouldn't "anti-climatic" be a better choice?

hayashi_s: not really. I know they're kind of similar but the emphasis here is on how quickly everything ended, leaving the audience no time to digest what really happened, rather than contrasting the ending with the fight itself. I'll include the original text here for better explanation そして、ぱたり、と倒れた。あっけないほど、あっさりと。あっけない: too short, あっさり: quickly/readily

Ah my bad for not being more descriptive. I meant in place of the word "underwhelming" wouldn't "anti-climactic" be a better option? [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 00:40, 8 August 2012 (CDT)

あっけない (Akkenai) translates to "disappointing" or "anti-climactic". [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 00:42, 8 August 2012 (CDT)

Which dictionary are you using to translate this? I'm pretty sure あっけない means "too soon" or "too quick". In a sense it can be used to convey disappointment with how something progressed faster than expected, but it has nothing to do with being anti-climatic.--[[User:Hayashi s|Hayashi s]] 01:40, 8 August 2012 (CDT)

I'm just an outside reader (very enjoying the translations by the way!), but here are my two yen: according to WWWJDIC, akkenai is '呆気ない【あっけない】 (adj-i) not enough; too quick (short, long, etc.)'. In this context it may have the direct implication of being anti-climatic, and (perhaps especially if written by an English author?) a different person might have written it going straight to saying that it was anti-climatic, but my current impression(1) is that the 'underwhelming' representation is closer to the impression(2) that the words convey. This impression(1) would be strengthened if there were a different term more-unequivocally meaning 'anti-climatic' that wasn't used here. ...how about 'hyoushinuke' or 'shirisubomi'? Since those lend themselves more strongly to the 'anticlimactic' meaning, and since neither was used, it may be consistent to use a different English term which is close (maybe even closer) in meaning to the word/s in fact used. (As mentioned, just my two yen on this matter.) -[[Special:Contributions/180.43.16.157|180.43.16.157]] 03:16, 8 August 2012 (CDT)

180.43.16.157: Jupiter->Zeus/Zeus->Jupiter replacement direction check question:

Order check: for 'in some countries, Jupiter was replaced by Zeus, and Neptune by Poseidon', is the order definitely correct? From what I remember of history, first there was Greece with Zeus et cetera on Olympus, and then Rome grew and swallowed it and renamed its gods.

Since the previous paragraph says 'Rome was a country which housed countless gods', it seems to be consistent with describing how Rome took (and renamed) other gods. Thus, it would seem to make the most sense if it were Godou reflecting on how Zeus was replaced by Jupiter (and Poseidon by Neptune), but if the text actually definitely says it the other way round then it should of course be kept that way, though a translator's note at the bottom might help to eliminate similar confusion.
