Castilian Spanish
This paper examines the hypothetical anime series Kamiwo Akira as a case study for the linguistic and cultural divergences between (es-ES) and Latin American Spanish (es-419) dubbing. It analyzes lexical choices, pronoun use ( tuteo/voseo/distinción vs. seseo ), and cultural adaptation strategies. The findings highlight how a single fictional text would produce two distinct audience experiences, reflecting broader historical and industrial divides in Spanish-language dubbing.
