Why do anime writers always need to have characters explain everything? It's extremely unnatural

Why do Americans get offended when they are confronted with cultural subtlety that are foreign to them? It's extremely shallow.

At least they do research on their info dump unlike TV shows

Reminds me of Kaguya info dumps.

That's not just western VNs
I tried playing that MLP one that was in the Zig Forums ads a while back and it seemed interesting at first but I lost interest when they started fucking rambling on about mechanics of teleportation and if I was really still me

Why does a novel about solving a puzzle explain the rules to the puzzle!?
Isn't that yabai!?!?

Sorry. It's a japanese MURDER mystery novel.
No math has nothing to do with it. It's just an infodump to add "character"

Are you talking about Umineko?

Where is this from, also

I fucking kek'd

It's in the filename.

> It's extremely unnatural.
Real people explain shit all the time though.Maybe you just don't have a good sense for what is unnatural?

No.

The characters in that scene are Mexicans.

Real people explain shit all the time like that though. Maybe you just don't have a good sense for what is natural?

Ah, that makes it worse, then. Also, my post was posted twice. Please don't bully me.

Real Christians have to constantly explain who is Jesus Christ all the time.

That's unironically true, though.
t. took theology

Because otherwise you dumb faggots would get the wrong idea and make endless threads about how the writing sucks because you're too stupid to get it.
Anime needs to spoonfeed you crucial information for your tiny fucking brains or they'll risk you going on a psychotic crusade about how the anime is the worst thing ever made.

Since when is sci-fi shit going on infodumps about their sci-fi concepts a Japanese thing?

>Good film writing
Show, don't tell
>Regular film writing
Have characters monologue what they're thinking and doing
>Anime writing
Infodump

Yeah when I'm sitting down at a lecture.

More mysteries need to do this.
Mysteries are a game. These are the rules to the game.

Bruh. What rules?
I was thinking of one VN that did it and it specifically was used as a red herring.

You don't know what show don't tell is.
A character who says a lot of shit sucks, but it's still showing not telling, because a character's thoughts and words are explicitly show. Telling only refers to things said by the author outside the physical, observable space.
Rather than realize that show don't tell isn't really useful, and is spread because it is a mindless way to signal that you know your stuff, you have turned showing into telling. It's a common mistake.

>Show, don't tell
Usually when an anime does this it gets called pretentious.

>Show, don't tell
I roll my eyes whenever I see somebody quote this like a holy catechism. Always see it quoted by people who usually don't understand anything about writing.

T. Pretentious spics

Kaguya is more for comedic purposes

That's nonsense. All anime show, as the very act of drawing a character just standing around - doing fuck all - is already showing, not telling. Even when telling, there are usually visualizations, so at worse, it tends to be showing AND telling at the same time. Therefore, if it must be called pretentious, it must be for something else.

The surest way to tell if somebody is using 'show don't tell' in a mindless way is if they act like 'telling' is categorically bad and should always be avoided.

>I'm reading a fucking japanese mystery novel and there's an infodump about fucking math problems and specific unsolvable ones.

Les Miserables by Victor Hugo, considered one of the greatest books in French and Western Literature, literally has entire chapters devoted to his random and personal philosophical ramblings. He has an entire chapter called (Parenthesis) to troll the reader and tell you it literally has nothing to do with the overall plot.

You just have a tiny attention span.

Nice my dude. Thumbs up. Upvoted.
