This is the kind of sentiment I have when a question is asked on “do Japanese people talk like anime characters in real life?” And the straight answer is no. Is it the same with “do Americans talk like in Netflix” or is that a load of garbage? It happens with some people thinking anime speak is how Japanese people interact but in the end they appear stupid as no one talks like that IRL. Now, is the manner of speaking from US Dramas or TV representative of a real life conversation?

    However the little things are a real life thing. Like, when films and shows of the 90s depicted people, on a street corner, with a boombox and folks just breakdancing for fun… Things like that definitely happened and were very cool to see as a kid in New York.
