Talk:Umineko Volume 1: Standardization and Typo Report

Word missing near the beginning of the second day, when they curtains are being opened. It says, "If the curtains remained closed, the inside of the mansion still be dim". I think "would" was meant to be inserted after "mansion" and before "still".LittleMachi 00:57, 26 August 2008 (PDT)

A lot of pronouns aren't said in favor of names, as per japanese use. Like Jessica's か、母さんか。。。 rendered as "Oh, oh it's Mom." rather than "oh, oh it's you, mom." There are many other examples where you, he/she, could be used instead of re-using the name, which sounds clunky in english. --Tobiast88 17:23, 26 August 2008 (PDT)

Hi, Theacefrehley here, I don't know if this is the righ place to say it but I noticed one thing. Correct me if I'm wrong;

Chapter 12

「…………そうだよ。きひひひひひひひ、魔女の前に扉の鍵なんて何の役にも立たないんだよ。……ベアトリーチェは７２柱の全てに精通する。３３位のガァプは望む相手を臨む場所へ瞬時に運ぶ力を与えるし。

`"............That's right.Kihihihihihihihi, locking a door is useless against a witch. ......Beatrice knows about all 72 pillars. The 33rd Gaapu gives the power to instantly carry anyone else to any location.

Here you translated 柱 as pillars, but since the topic here is the 'Swarm of the 72 Solomonic Demons', wouldn't 柱 be working as a counter for gods, demons, buddhas and such...? (sorry if I'm wrong, but my dictionary gives this possible meaning for 柱).

For reference: http://www.reptilianagenda.com/bib/b100899b.shtml . There, GAAP ans his 'transportation' ability is mentioned as well. (Even Ronobe/Ronowe is there :))

Well, maybe it's too late, maybe this is irrelevant, but anyway... whatever. :)

Just noticed, but in the epitaph, 魔女は蘇り is rendered as "The witch shall be revived". The verb isn't in passive voice, and it sounds like Beatrice just needed some fresh air and a glass of water to come back! I propose changing the sentence from "At the ninth twilight, the Witch shall be revived and none shall be left alive." to "At the ninth twilight, the Witch shall resurrect and none shall be left alive." --Tobiast88 04:59, 16 September 2008 (PDT)
