Can we talk about Japan's unhealthy glamorization of high-rise

>any "fictional city" I come across in anime seems to operate on the ideal that a current city was razed
I have something to tell you, buddy.

Nice word salad. They do it because it's easy to draw, not because of some philosophy that anyone spent a moment thinking about.

That's modelled after taiwanese rethugican apartments. No commies.

>in anime?
>last 2 decades
It's not an anime thing, it's something that properly exists in Japan. Cheap blockshit is quickly built and leveled again. You have more than 120 or so million dudes in your tiny island nation and you need to make sure your way of putting a roof over their heads is practical. It's FUCKING cancer alright, I know all the shitty GDR Soviet blocks they put up here back in the day and it makes me vomit.

Lots of people and little land available for construction.

Your post screams ignorant American. Not everyone lives in giant native-raped landmasses.

Shaft confirmed for communists.

Because that's what urban Japan actually looks like. Why are you complaining about Japanese architecture being overrepresented in Japanese cartoons?

That's what happens when they set the story in a city like tokyo, it's just realistic you autist.

It's not an ideal city though, shaft most of the time makes the scenario based on photographs of real places.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that finds this annoying. Good on you OP.

That said, that's pretty much how urban JP looks. It's dreadful.

Welcome to not-America. There's benefits to the U.S. being #1 GDP. You're seeing how the other 6.7+ billion people on this planet live.

Clearly there needs to be an anime about anthropomorphized architectural style girls doing cute things to win you over.

There's probably already a hentai of this somewhere.

Yeah, it's almost like vast portions of an old city were burnt to the ground during you know, maybe the mid-40s, and then rebuilt during a massive economic boom during the 50s and 60s that desperately needed to house workers as fast and as cheaply as possible.
Just bizarre. Such a thing could never happen in real life.

>Implying american cities aren't also ugly as sin
It's a fact that the only really good looking cities are old construction in places like Europe.

Land sometimes shake over there, nobody die.
Rain fall and wind blow in America....

Isn't the USA building the same mass production living space only horizontal?
Cheap homes for everyone, even the poor, even if it's made of cheap wood and falls apart the moment a storm hits.

>poorly planned cities with ever-expanding roads but never-improving traffic
>masses of dilapidated single-family homes a stone's throw from city centers, will never be razed because politics
>virtually all new development is generic condos that exist solely for wealthy chinese to protect their dirty yuan from devaluation, and disgusting mcmansions
Sure feels good to be #1

It's literally what Japan looks like you moron.
