Is this as weird as every character living in a fantasy world speaking english? That's certainly the contrarian approach, but I think while that is a level of immersion broken, it is often necessary to move the narrative forward that the audience understands what the characters are communicating. Now, as someone that has watched a LOT of anime with subtitles... I find it more immersion breaking when a character in a pre-industrial setting eats a spicy meal and states "that'll get your motor running!" when they have no concept of motorization than whether or not they dubbed and translated from Japanese, or Elvish, or Klingon. --- Moderated for telling people not to commit illegal acts of assault and murder.09/2/23 Also moderated for not responding to obvious bait. - 10/03/23 ...
