    I find shows and movies that show something happen clearly and then restate it in the dialogue immediately quite annoying. Very common in anime.

      Wait, you’re telling me that restating dialog makes you annoyed, especially because it happens so frequently in anime?

        In anime, you should expect repetitive exposition. Can it be that Netflix has gained this power, too?

          Netflix has gained the power of repetitive exposition? Such a feat has only been attained by anime before! One should expect it there, but now it’s really bothering OP!

      Some YouTube channels do this and I started to hide them in the recommendations because it pisses me off so much.

      I wonder if its due to how closely Anime attempts to animate Manga? I feel like you can kind of “explain” what happens in text alot more smoothly than on a TV show due to how much faster you ingest knowledge.

        That’s a good point, I agree for anime it is probably stylistic like some comic book movies are comic-y.
