Attack on Titan Kaden

AoT and Koucha Kaden (a drink) teamed up to make a campaign for Japan. I'm here to bring it to the English-speaking world! Koucha Kaden is my favorite drink - buy it!!

Levi:  真面目にやるのもいいが、この紅茶を楽しむ余裕くらいは持っておくべきだな

It’s good to be serious, but you should put some time aside to enjoy this tea.

Levi: ほぉー、頑張っているようだな。この辺で一息ついたらどうだ？疲弊した脳みそと身体にはこの甘さが嬉しいだろ？

Hoh, looks like you’ve been working hard. Why don’t you take a break (lit. around here)? This tea’s sweetness is good for your brain and body. (lit. For your exhausted brain tissue and body, this sweetness makes them happy, right?)

[aotkaden]

Wondering what Koucha Kaden is? 紅茶 is black tea, and 花伝 literally means "flower-transmission". It comes from the name of a famous treatise on Noh drama. It’s a sweet drink made by Coca Cola. 

From Wikipedia (this link): Fūshikaden (風姿花伝, literally "The Transmission of the Flower Through (a Mastery of) the Forms", more loosely "Style and the Flower"), known colloquially as Kadensho (花伝書?, The Book of Transmission of the Flower) is the first known treatise on drama in Japan. It was written by Zeami Motokiyo.

The campaign runs from 7/27/2015-late October, where it’ll run out gradually. You can get a 470mL bottle for 151 yen or a 280mL bottle for 124 yen (tax not included).

Hanji: 「う〜ん、この香り、この風味、この甘さ、贅沢だなぁ〜。リヴァイが気にいるのも納得だ、そう思わないか？」

Mmmmmm, this fragrance, this flavor, this sweetness - so luxuuuurious. That Levi likes it too makes it better, don’t you think? (lit. is persuasive)

Hanji: 休息も兵士としての務めだよ。一息入れようじゃないか。

Breaks are a part of a soldier’s job. Why don’t we take a breather?

Hanji: 頑張りすぎるのも考えものだよ〜、時には休息も必要だ

Overworking is something to think about - at times a break is needed.

AOT THE SCOUTING LEGION’S BREAK TIME, PART 2 / 7 (40 sec.)

Eren (as if reading from a test):Um... ”The situation: a red and black smoke signal is sent up from the ???. Column 3, question 4: write down the smoke signal that the transmission team sends.” [CANNOT TRANSLATE DUE TO LACK OF VOCABULARY, AM GETTING HELP] えと。。。【しょれつ】に及び【しょれつ】を索敵から同時に赤と黒の【しえんだん】が上がった場合、【さんれつよん】伝達が撃つ【しえんだん】の種類を答えよ。

PAUSE

Eren:Gah! I have no fucking idea! At this rate I'll be left behind. Fuck! んな！全然わかねーこれ！こんなんじゃ私だけ留守番じゃねーか、くそ！

CRASH

Eren: Shit! Heichou's gonna kill me! やべ！兵長に殺されちまうぞ

KNOCKING DOOR OPENS

Eren: Heichou! I'm sorry!! 兵長！すみません！

Yaaay the wallpaper you get when you collect them all! So this is what was going on. :-)

(Why the #@*&$! does the pic go past the yellow border oh my god I’m so mad about that!!!! DX)

I guess it’s time to start posting how far I’ve gotten with translating... til next time!!

[aotkaden]

Ooo I don’t think Mikasa likes it hot! Look at her, blowing to cool down this heated situation. 

Actually, Koucha Kaden is a cold tea. Maybe I should heat it and see if it’s good hot, too...

[aotkaden]

“If you want good tea, get it in Japan!” No, not really - but it looks like Hanji has something important to say. Yay AoT!

[aotkaden]

Yeeeep it’s Levi. And he’s holding the cup by the rim. Rim-rimmity-rim-rimmity-rim-rim-rimming  

.... Okay, enough of that. But as a side note, I also hold my cup like that because the sides of teacups get dang hot. I mean, it makes sense. I do that with miso soup, too. Yet if the cup has a handle, it’s probably out of habit...
