Tag: walls of text 5c3jg

Walls of text refers to Japanese text that appears in large quantities within the anime itself. This text is most likely vital to the storyline and may come in the form of charts and diagrams or pieces of paper, notes or even thoughts that are only partially or entirely unspoken.

May also be taken as a fair warning to viewers unable to translate Japanese text on their own, suggesting that thorough subtitle may be required as well as making use of the pause button on their media players so that all text can be read.

Normally, tags don't refer to physical translations of text, subtitle appearances and karaoke styling added by 3rd parties. But those who seek to describe an anime that is heavy on SPOKEN dialogue (which may tend to create a large quantity of natural subtitling to read for those not fluent in the language being used) could consider this tag but may make clearer reference with the dialogue driven tag.
