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?
No. People interrupt each other, stumble over words, and sometimes need time to think before speaking. None of that happens when the dialog is pre written and rehearsed.
We dance to live music and Dont just add it in post. We also go to the bathroom and choke on our own spit randomly.
FWIW, going to the bathroom wasn’t allowed to be shown on tv/in films (US) until Leave It To Beaver did it. ☝🏼
I’m sure my dad screamed, “holy shit, he just like me for real” when that happened.
In fact, it was Mrs. Cleaver, IIRC. 🫢
