Here's a Clannad comparison. Real life is pretty disgusting.

Man I fucking love god rays.
I was visiting a friend and we went out for breakfast at like six in the morning, just after dawn.
He lives a couple hundred meters from one of those swamp/lake things and the sun rays were ridiculous. Cool and calming. Makes me want to live near a swamplake.

Eh, it's just a poor exposure, a photo by a non-photog for the purposes of making a painting. If I had to take a wild guess, it was probably shot on a compact camera, and mid-aftenoonish, when the best light is usually early morning/sunset.

Lots of artists do similar things for studies, I've done them in painting class.

Rainy and gray doesn't preclude making good photos.
>>110419532
The dynamic range of the camera is low/mid-day light tends towards very dark shadows and bright highlights beyond the range of most cameras anyways, so the brightest things in the photo get blown out and sometimes the darkest things will just get crushed to black.

There's quite a lot of burtalism in Britian. It's always fascinated me and I find some of buildings to be quite attractive. I even wrote a protest letter to my MP when a local tower block was going to be demolished. I really wish a studio would make an anime with a brutalist estate setting, a lot of it does exist in Japan. WIXOSS nearly did. I think it could create a great atmosphere with stark weathered concrete, cold glass and hard steel.

It also adds to the realism of the show.

And Japan is a relatively small country, so using real life locations means 90% of your audience can actually go check the place out, which is always a good thing for promoting tourism, which is all smaller towns have going for them.

Oh absolutely, no disagreement here. There are whole cities in Siberia left virtually abandoned after the fall of the Soviet Union (and thus the disappearance of state0funded industry) but a combination of accessibility and familiarity have made Detroit the hottest location for destruction/poverty porn.

I once was lurking /lit/ and I came upon a thread that was some Anon basically storytiming scans of a rare English translated book he'd found. It was the account of a Japanese ambassador to America taking a tour of the country, starting with San Francisco. The whole thing was written by an aide to the Japanese ambassador and was intended to be published in Japan, so it's basically explaining a lot of American culture from the perspective of Japanese culture. Shit was fascinating.

Higurashi's Hinamizawa is based off some town in gifu. Mainly because R07 was lazy and just took pictures of the town and houses, slapped a layer on them, and put them in the game.

>Rubbish bins, and public toilets are almost nowhere to be seen. Use convenience stores for toilets and rubbish bins are always next to vending machines.
>You can only withdraw money with gaijin cards from postoffice and 7-11 ATMs.
>Leave Akihabara and Shibuya for the last day, or you'll be carry a load of crap with you for the whole trip.
>Go to Tsukiji for breakfast. Most authentic sushi you'll ever get.
>Always, ALWAYS pick up those free maps they give to tourists. Google maps may not be entirely accurate. Especially outside of city-centers.

Hostels are a nice alternative if you want to live cheaply.

Most vending machines only have bottle/can recycling bins next to them. Actual "garbage" bins are rare outside because Japanese generally aren't always stuffing their faces with food on the go, so they rarely have a reason to be holding trash outsides their homes or offices.

Saying it's the same as grammar naziing is quite the stretch. If someone is getting mad at something topical, its not the same as someone getting mad at grammatical mistakes.

I just think it's ironic that you have people worrying about board quality going "oh no not the politics", but then you have the same people likely shitposting in a waifu thread moments later.

Many convenience stores have actual garbage bins outside of them, even so you're a stupid foreigner when you're in Japan so you'll get away with throwing garbage in the recycle bins.

>>110427711
No, that's not why. The reason there are no public trash cans in Japan is because a couple years ago there was a scare where somebody put some sort of poison gas bomb in one of them in Tokyo and the whole country was rid of them after that because of knee jerk politics.
