I’m rewatching Spirited Away with English subs I grabbed off opensubtitles.org and I had already been confused by some phantom lines that didn’t correspond to any spoken dialogue but this scene made it obvious what was happening- there’s extra lines added in places where the characters are facing away from the camera michael-laugh

Either the subtitler was hallucinating or these originate from the dub. I grew up watching a VHS tape chomsky-yes-honey in Japanese with Finnish subtitles and I don’t recall this scene having dialogue

    Which in the context of the scene makes sense. They’re sneaking off to a restricted area they’re not supposed to be in while most of the denizens of the springs are asleep, of course they would be keeping quiet as to not alert anyone.
