Ask Clephas!

[Praeliator]

Since you've completed Dies Irae, can you attempt to translate Tubal Cain's chant?

Cain's chant starts at 4:37

[Clephas]

@Praeliator Cain's chant is difficult, for a number of reasons.

 

1.  It is in archaic Japanese

2.  Cain's voice is too distorted. 

 

I translated most of the others at one time or another...  though with Kei's I mostly noted that it was a replay of the legend of how Izanagi killed Kagutsuchi after his birth burned his mother Izanami to death. 

 

@Yukiru

 

1. Melodrama

2. I'm fond of Inari and Tsukuyomi

3. Both if possible... give me an adorable kitsune tearing people to shreds and I'm happy

 

 

 

Time's up

[Dark Ariel7]

What are your 3 sizes?

What part of your body do you start with when you shower?

[Clephas]

I said time's up... but oh well, one more.

 

Honestly?  Don't know.  I'm really, really fat though.

I generally start with my armpits.

Hmmmm... Since you seemed like an educated fellow, I was interested in hearing your opinion on religion... But alas, it seems I was too late...

Organized religion is one of the greatest of all fundamental evils, since people use religion as an excuse to cover up their own corruption, more often than not.  Personal faith... is that person's own business.

 

That said, the communal aspects of religion can be of great value, if the community is completely united faith-wise.  That is one of the reasons why many nations of the past had national religions and why some still have them today.  Otherwise, religion becomes an excuse to persecute the minorities around them.

Hard to say... probably Grisaia, though I read it before it was translated.

What would you say is the most interesting exercise within the Japanese Otaku culture?
