The Adventure Of Dai 2020 Teaser Translation

Japanese Language
1

I was going to translate an old Pokemon trailer when I came across this new trailer. I guess Pokemon can wait.

I remember watching this anime when I was young and seeing it in 1080p is so satisfying. Even better, being able to understand some of it in Japanese makes the experience even more epic.

So without further due, let’s get into it.
Note: I will try to translate as much as I can but I am not at a level where I can get everything right. Feel free to help me with what’s left!

That’s what I thought, thanks for the confirmation. I am still not used to thinking in Japanese, many times I translate something and it barely makes sense in English haha.

I believe the people they name can be taken out without changing anything here - that is to say, I read this as one thing: ‘now, ダイの大冒険 awakens - a completely new work, made into anime.’

Might be wrong, of course. ^^ come to think of it, keeping to the order actually sounds better: ‘now it awakens - ダイの…’ Etc

I never thought about it that way, it’s really hard to get what they want to say exactly lol.
