Title: Languages and Communication
Post by: Senkusha on 15-May-2025 (Thu) @ 07:11:37
I'm nearly finished watching Negima!? another time through, and I just had an observation.

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.


The students and staff of Mahora are presumably speaking in Japanese.  So now, all of a sudden an automatic subconscious language translation happens so everybody can understand everybody?

I'm sure this happens in other anime all the time, and it's something nobody really considers, after all, this is totally fiction, and writers are master creators of their own worlds.  It's just easier if everybody in a scene can communicate without too much effort.  I know that I struggled with this when I wrote the fan-fiction, Answering Fate.  But maybe I just was overthinking it?  (Speaking of... I really should try to republish that fiction online soon.)
