Used to live near the town that Lucky Star is based on. Which I discovered by accident, when I went there and things looked very familiar.

DreamingOfDistantShores
I know a lot of anime, especially early exposures to things like Speed Racer, earned it a reputation as a meme media form... but modern
DreamingOfDistantShores
anime includes some downright glorious works of art. Especially anything focused around nature, food, or Japanese spirituality (Mushi-shi,
DreamingOfDistantShores
for one example). Of course there's also the endless piles of cheap trash, but what media doesn't have that?
ChefLes
What point are you trying to make here?
HappyLittleIdiot
That is, afterall, one of the easiest way to make sure the environment in a show looks realistic: actually do it based on real environment.
KaptainObveeus
I mean, the altered image is based on the unaltered one, so...
confanity
"Easy," you say, ignoring the insane amount of work that went into that animation.
blankunderscore
Those dystopian animes are all USA based
MarleafChef
That's how they did it in the original lion king, except the challenges of being surrounded by singing animals clearly affected them.
DogTaxEvader
I think here the point is the differences between the two images, not the similarities.

Games too: Chernobylite did this for their maps.

I can hear those loud ass cicadas in this picture.
ChefLes
Love em! Finished this year though :-(
Shuckeru
A lot of anime backgrounds are just photographs with lots of filters and shaders, and then a small amount of touch up with a pen.
Shuckeru
The soft is incredibly expensive, but can drastically reduce the cost of hiring artists. Shinkai does this, Ghibli doesn't,
AllSystemsNominal
Whatever it is they do, real life looks mundane by comparison. Which, to be fair, seems to be the whole point.
Shuckeru
Oh yeah, for sure!

ExemplarOfSarcasm
How in the world does real life look more colorful and cartooney
BoopedYourSnoot
I'm guessing the saturation is punched up a lot in the real photo. Most things aren't that naturally vibrant.
Incognitomodeactivated
Amazing right?! +1 thanks for sharing.
OldEricCool
Wow crazy to think they build entire streets based off of areas in anime

that looks like a good bike route! would be nice to suffer biking uphill there. ?
theweezel69
Are we sure the first one isn't just a scene from one of the JJ Abrams Star Trek's?
interesseret
Man, it's almost as if the artist simply traced over an image to use less time and do the more important animation.
thatwoodguy
Rotoscoping
pocketpython
I guarantee they went there took photos and recreated it perfectly, Anime saves money on frames, not backgrounds, Cel animation is a thing
pocketpython
This is probably Kyoto Studios, they do this kind of thing a lot
Shuckeru
Probably filter + touch up. Not 100% sure about Kyoani, but its industry standard.
Shuckeru
Above example looks like Shinkai, so very clever filters + tracing AFAIK
Itcanbedone
Seems like someone got kicked out of the anime fanclub, why do we fall Bruce?
DouglasPouchOfHolding
The perspective is at a different angle, so no.
Arook1
Maybe they used a different photo
interesseret
Sorry, I must have missed the guidebook on photography that says you can't photograph the same thing twice.
DouglasPouchOfHolding
You might've missed several years of art classes where you learn to draw from both active sitters and photographs.
interesseret

CaptainSomebody

something i've noticed: they never park on the street. where do all the cars go?
ChefLes
House parking spaces, multi level lift style parking etc. You do see parking on the street bits it's generally short term.
Necc0
they must be crazy efficient with it. maybe it's because i live in a neighborhood that was built before cars existed

touched it, and there were signs in Japanese saying the same. In the moment, i was quite taken back, but I understand why he was upset.

That's why tsukiji seperated most of the market from tourists/visitors. -.-

I've become obsessed with Japanese walking vlogs. No talking, just someone with a camera wandering around. It's so pretty!
wjodendor
There's some really great Korean ones as well. When they're walking around in the rain it looks like Blade Runner.
VitaminJay
I'm starting to get into those as well. :)

Have you watched Our Man In Japan? There is talking, but it's lovely.

I recommend getting a J-Rail pass if you really want to travel around, assuming you’re there more than a week. Worth every penny.
Twinklepot
Thank you! Yes! I think we'll be getting that as part of our package. We'll be travelling Tokyo-Nagano-Kyoto-Hiroshima!
d3ltabrav00
I loved in the Aomori prefecture for 4 years and regret I never made it to Kyoto and Hiroshima

Kyoto and Hiroshima (and surrounding areas) have been my favourite places
Twinklepot
Great to hear that, thanks!
Twinklepot
Maybe you'll get to go back sometime!
d3ltabrav00
It is on our list to return some day! Although I would probably still want to visit our old favorite spots instead of exploring Kyoto hehe
ChefLes
Nice mix, difficult as it may be, try to get out of the main areas. As long as your Japanese is okay, the smaller towns are amazing!
ChefLes
If you have any questions, drop me a message, I've been here for night on 13 years, and worse comes to worse I can ask my wife haha
Twinklepot
Thanks so much for that! I appreciate your offer ?
TheRealEh
Totally agree. My wife is Japanese as well, travelling with her was so easy compared to my first time. Plan to move there in a couple years.

You might want to dig a little bit deeper before just taking messages out of context and spreading dislike over a possible innocent sign.

demosteness
Massive tourism, massive tourism everywhere.
HelloToe
Nah, it's pretty standard in Japan, whether you're in touristy places or not.
ChefLes
Been here 12 years, have never seen a sign like that.
jkwi
as if foreigners wouldnt walz in anyway...
fireaza
These signs are exclusive to heavily touristed places, and they exist due to badly-behaved tourists and staff who can't speak English.
RooGryphon
with how americans behave (bunch of entitled assholes) i approve of this and see WHY they do this too
fireaza
Not due to "xenophobia" like the internet thinks. You never see them elsewhere, hell most restaurants have a English version of the menu!
tomatoboy
Do you hear yourself? Would it be acceptable if businesses In tourist areas of the US prohibited customers of X nationality because some…
tomatoboy
…had behaved poorly? Discrimination based on race or nationality is discrimination, and it’s *always* wrong, regardless of motive.
tomatoboy
And yes, some of the signs are just trying to say they don’t speak anything but Japanese, but many of them ARE NOT.
ChefLes
They are off the rails wrong. Never seen it, never heard it from another teacher and I've been here for 13 years.
mynamespaul
I’ve travelled a lot and Japan is up there as one of the more racist countries I’ve been to. Beautiful country and people though.
fireaza
I've lived in Japan for over 1/2 a decade. I'm curious as to what you encountered in your brief time there to claim "more racist countries".
mynamespaul
4 months. Racist taxidrivers, landlords &shop keepers so prevalent foreigners change their lifestyles to avoid -but its socially acceptable
fireaza
For example..? I've done all those things, but never encountered any racism.
mynamespaul
But “they’re only racist in places where there’s foreigners around” is simply not a defence of obviously racist behaviours.
fireaza
If this is "racist" behaver, why do many of these signs have provisos that allow foreigners in under certain conditions?
fireaza
"no foreigners" should mean "no foreigners" right? As I said, it's because the issue is communication and behaver, not race.
rinarii
Most of these places aren’t racist they just don’t wanna put up with Americans and most other people who think everything revolves around em
mynamespaul
So your take is “but racism is valid”? It should go without saying, but I don’t agree with that.
Calaros
Xenophobia has *always* been a problem in Japan. Their bizarre Covid quarantine rules for Japanese and non-Japanese travellers for example.
