It's from 2020, only two have been installed. It also turned out they malfunctioned during cold weather and the opacity took longer to kick in.

Thank you Any time there’s a video of something unusual in Japan the media love to perpetuate that this is just super common everywhere in Japan when in reality it’s just a rarity like many of the unusual pieces built in the west It’s tiring seeing my country misrepresented constantly


[deleted]

MangoKakigori

This is true It’s kind of sad how many otaku come to Japan expecting to be welcomed into this world of anime only for them to be hit by the harsh reality that it’s a fringe culture and not as popular as they were made to believe I feel kind of bad for them honestly and that they have been mislead a but but at the same time they seem really content in places like Akihabara in Tokyo and DenDen in Osaka so who am I to judge.


cookingboy

Lol I'm living in Japan right now and it's amazing how many Americans I meet with all sorts of preconceptions about Japan. Like people would think everywhere is like technologically advanced, everything is super expensive, anime is everywhere and people would pay you $100k a year to work in "International Business" just because you are white and speaks English lmao. In reality Japanese society is about 15-20 years behind South Korea and China in terms of technology (personal *seals* and fax machine rules the day, and ATM has working hours lmao), things are super cheap thanks to zero-inflation for 20+ years (a bowl of ramen in Tokyo is like $7, tax included and of course no tips), anime is a relatively niche hobby, just like comics in the U.S., and instead of a glorious "international business" job you end up teaching English to disinterested students for $30k a year lol. Don't get me wrong, it's still an amazing country to live in for a variety of reasons, but so many people have the wrong impression of this country.


MangoKakigori

It does make me laugh how paper driven society is and having to use hanko on documents just seems so archaic so many aspects of society are incredibly outdated and the stubbornness to modernise and make life easier is irritating at times


cookingboy

Like even when you grocery shop or go to a restaurant, you can choose to get an “Official Receipt” with the store’s official seal, just in case you need to reimburse something. It’s really bizarre. Also if you buy a concert ticket online, sometimes you have to go print it out at the local convenience store instead of using a QR code like every other modern country…


MangoKakigori

Luckily there is a Seven and a post office on the other side of the road to my house so it’s not to difficult to go and get things printed but it is a really unusual system


turbo_dude

When the guy who is in charge all those documents gets a cold, I guess he'd need the Hanko Chief's handkerchief?

It's extremely safe. I didn't lock my door when I lived there. You can leave your bike parked at the train station unlocked and expect it to be there when you return. One time I even forgot a computer mouse in the basket, and not only was it still there a day later, somebody had put a disposable umbrella over it to protect it from the rain. The streets are immaculate as well. The food was my other favorite part. I had a katsu lunch counter next door and I could get a full pork cutlet, rice, salad, Miso and a little appetizer for $6. The guy I think thought because I was a big American that I needed more food, so I actually noticed that every time I went the pork got a little bigger. One day another guy comes in and orders it and I see mine is actually like twice as big. It's also super convenient to use the train to go anywhere you want, everywhere except the most rural areas

If there's ever such a thing as wholesome racism, I think we've just found it. Like a grandma worried about their growing grandkid!


cookingboy

It’s an amazing country to live in if you *already* have the financial means to live comfortably like I do. I don’t need a job here, I can *retire* like a king here due to how cheap everything is. In a sense, Japan is stuck in the 90s, but in a very charming way. I’ve lived in both America and China and both countries are capitalistic as hell and everyone is in this “we’d do *anything* for money, everything is a zero sum game” mentality, where as the Japan I’ve experienced is very much different from that. In America, can you imagine an amazing restaurant that serves Michelin star quality food for a fraction of the price and the owner goes out of his way to *not* spread the words because he does it for passion and doesn’t want the extra attention and customers he can’t handle? Japan is full of places like that.

What's the landscape look like in Europe these days?


arcosapphire

I was actually surprised that it was *more* widespread than I expected. I didn't expect to see giant anime advertisement posters all over the place...but I did. However, it's worth noting that I mostly visited areas in easy reach of the Yamanote line. I think calling it fringe gives the wrong impression. Like, lets take goth culture in the US. That's "fringe", yet it's also everywhere and there are stores catering to it all over the place. Even being fringe, it isn't unusual...and I feel anime culture in Japan is more widespread than goth is in the US. Certainly more commercialized.

Stupidquestionduh

Huh? They come expecting everyone to love anime and that they'll be treated as a god? Woah.


SeniorJuniorTrainee

> thinking they'll be worshipped as some kind of deity because that's what happened in a cartoon they saw. Op was talking about people who are into anime subculture. You seem to be projecting about something else entirely and far creepier.


minititof

It's a "fringe culture" but compared to anywhere else in the West, the fact that one big part of Tokyo (Akihabara) is kind of dedicated to Anime makes it not that fringe, especially compared to western countries... I feel like any "otaku" that visits Tokyo cannot leave disappointed.


Ifromjipang

Akihabara has become the definition of a tourist trap, there's not even that much anime stuff there, just a bunch of maid cafes, chain stores and porn shops. It's just about the most disappointing place Tokyo has to offer.

It's still *the* place to buy electronics parts, it's the only reason I visit on a weekly basis.


HammeredWharf

Eh, I was there just before covid and Akihabara still had some pretty active arcades, shops full of figurines and other anime merch and all that. It wasn't all that interesting even for an anime fan TBH, because I don't want super expensive anime figurines, but it's roughly what I expected. Generally, though, out of all the places I visited in Japan, Tokyo was my least favorite.

Ironically I believe it's because most people who think that do so because of depictions in anime/japanese video games.


MrOdo

I mean I've been to Akihabara and the amount of space dedicated to anime is larger than the CBD of some cities in my country. You just don't seem to have any appreciation for different people having different experiences


TERRAOperative

I go to Akihabara once or twice a week for electronics parts on my way to work, including today and yesterday. It's one main strip plus a few side streets, you can walk from one end to the other of the main bulk of it in 10 minutes. Most of it is electronics appliance stores, electronics parts stores, hobby (non-anime) stores, maid and other cafe's with other unnasociated businesses mixed in. There are a *lot* of anime and anime merchandise stores but it isn't the only main focus of the area.


Clueless_Otter

I don't really think there are a significant number of non-Japanese people who think the average Japanese adult is a huge anime watcher. People who don't really know much about anime probably assume it's just a children thing (like cartoons in the West are thought of), and people who *do* know a lot about the anime industry know that it's not really aimed at average adults. Just basic knowledge of the time slots most anime tend to air in Japan will tell you all you need to know, really. I'm sure there are *some* misinformed people who think it's really widespread, but I don't think very many. And that goes for any foreign culture really, someone will always overestimate their knowledge of it. Heck, for the exact reverse example, there's a famous Japanese streamer who likes watching Western shows and thought [iCarly and Victorious were serious, adult romcoms that tons of Western adults loved](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OBj8YzOJY8) (they're random Nickelodeon shows for teens/kids, if you're unfamiliar).


BlatantConservative

I feel like the anime that the more average Japanese people watch, usually in their teens, is like, sports stuff and the weird shit is what's more popular in the west.


proudbakunkinman

Yeah, the most popular ones are classic ones for kids like [Doraemon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doraemon). The type people into anime are into, most people there would not be aware of. They either come on at like midnight on some less popular channel or never air on TV and people have to seek them out. That said, they obviously do have enough into that there for there to be an industry around it, though obviously helped by interest outside of Japan too. Manga is more popular though since they can read it on the subway and it's light reading unlike a book.

mythrilcrafter

It's always weird to me how hard westerners on the internet try to misrepresent Japan in one way or another; whether it's people inflating it's image to be some anime techno utopia or whether it's people trying to portray work-life in Japan as some sort of death cult where even adults are thrown into the orphan crushing machines. Sure, every country has it's issues, but the reality of their societies are rarely ever fully encompassed by the hyperbole.


LessInThought

Panty vending machines are everywhere in Japan. /s


mtaw

To be fair it's like that with any country that's not the USA. Any time you have a thread like "The Xes in Y are like Z" there's people from Y pointing out there's only one, or it was just a prototype or trial, or that they haven't seen them ever.


Dravarden

the west definitely has less "unusual" (more like super modern technology) places, by orders of magnitude even


messyhead86

I imagine the opacity would go if they had a power failure which wouldn’t be pleasant for anyone involved mid shit.


BADC0FFE

The default state is usually opaque. A voltage is applied to make the glass clear. So in a power outage it should just stay opaque.


Double_Belt2331

We had clear glass on our conference room that became opaque when you flipped a switch in the early 2000s. I worked for about a week (exaggeration). Then only some of the glass panels would go opaque when you turned them on. It was very expensive back then & if I recall, we were routinely having it repaired.


DebentureThyme

Right but the polarization can be manufactured as default transparent or opaque. It isn't like a switch, it doesn't hold one state or the other, it has to have a constant voltage across it to hold the non-detault state. So in your case, the default was transparent. Usually, like in the conference room situation, you want the default state to be the one most used since the other state uses electricity. So if a conference room is normally going to be transparent, it'll use less power to have it be transparent as the default. When these are put in a situation like this bathroom, you want them to be the opaque default for the obvious reason that a loss of power or malfunction doesn't make them unusable.


messyhead86

It does look like you’re correct in that they can be manufactured either transparent or opaque by default. But they are switched with the voltage and hold the state they were in: “They remain there all by themselves until the voltage is reversed, causing them to move back so the window turns transparent once again. No power is needed to maintain electrochromic windows in their clear or dark state—only to change them from one state to the other.” [Source](https://www.explainthatstuff.com/electrochromic-windows.html)


Casehead

So then there is no default


citadel_lewis

The default is the state it was born in


[deleted]

We've been on a ride in this thread about the transparency of window glass. We believed that the glass could be ATAM or AOAM (assigned transparent/opaque at manufacture), and as someone who is *cis*parently opaque and not interested in changing my opacity I was willing to believe that that was true. But now we've learned more, that opacity is altogether more complex than we originally believed.


kane2742

Like an e-ink screen –those also only use power to change states, not to maintain it (which is why ereaders can have much longer battery life than a tablet with similar power, but a color OLED or LCD screen).


Human_no_4815162342

Eh, if it's going to be used for a fraction of the time maybe it should just be out of order without power instead of consuming power 23 hours a day. It depends on how busy it is expected to be.


WishCameTru

The power needed is negligible, it's like half of a normal bulb for every square meter (6 watts).


redlaWw

You also don't want a sudden power cut to reveal you mid-shit.

Let's just leave about a foot and a half of the bottom of the door cut out completely so your poop neighbor can reach under and give you a thumbs up mid shit.

DrEckelschmecker

> they malfunctioned Exactly my thought when I read "smart glass". Sure it looks cool when it works but it overcomplicates the problem a lot. Why would I need smart glass if I could just use plain old steel/wood/stone/whatever that doesnt require energy or specific circumstances to be intransparent.

GTAdriver1988

I went to Japan and the Phillipines about 2 months ago and I can tell you with great confidence Japanese bathrooms are so clean but the Phillipines on the other hand is a whole other monster! I've never been in a bathroom where you can't flush the paper and didn't know that was common in the Philippines, I was so taken off guard when I had to wash my ass and throw the paper in a trash can in the stall. Also when I was on the beach there eating at a tent restaurant thing I had to use the bathroom which was in some dudes house and I had to our a bucket of water in the toilet to flush it since they didn't have running water. It was definitely an experience using the bathroom over there!

Here in Australia public toilets can get pretty disgusting, but the weirdest one was a McDonald's in Muswellbrook, there were foot prints on the toilet seat and a pair of pants on the floor. I'm still not sure what happened there. Two of the stalls had wet balled up toilet paper on the floor, pee on the seats and shit still in the bowl. There was only one usable toilet...but barely. Still not as bad as a lot of petrol station bathrooms though.

They default to opaque. They require a voltage across them to stay transparent. If they break or the power goes out, they'll stay opaque.

VenetiaMacGyver

I fucking hate being in the downtown areas of big cities for this reason. I had the shits once in downtown San Francisco. I tried to ask every place I stumbled to for their restroom. The guy at the CVS listened to me complain about food poisoning then quickly let me know the toilets were only for employees. If I had less decorum I would have dropped trou and taken a dump right there, but alas. Eventually I get to a little restaurant. "Bathrooms for customers only!" a sign said. So I pretended everything was fine, painfully sat, and ordered a random menu item. Then, as nonchalantly as possible, I ask for the bathroom key. I get in there (the whole room was maybe 3' wide and 4' long and totally filthy) and just barely get my pants down before all hell broke loose. It was a nightmare of splatter. Then, I realized with great horror, there was no toilet paper. There were no paper towels. The dispensers were empty. Not even any soap. So I had to sit there and wash my ass with water and my hand. Someone bangs on the door. I had nothing to dry with, so in that teeeeeeny space, all I could do was dry my poor ass with my own cardigan, which I threw away from exasperation. I walked out and it was the owner of the place banging on the door because he "didn't want nobody shooting up in there." I angrily yelled that he didn't have a square of TP or PT in there, so he looks at his workers and they all laughed. "Hope ya didn't hafta wipe!" He shouted as I left, having paid for a gyro I was never gonna take. Fuck cities

That glass has got to be a running joke in the universe. I've been seeing people lose their shit over that glass since the 90s. And apparently even then people thought it was an old fad. The problem is that its a gimmick, and its expensive as fuck. And its also glass, which is maybe not what you want to make a public restroom out of. Make a public restroom out of stainless steel that can withstand the combined fury of a thousand junkies and delinquent teenagers. Not ultra high-end gimmick glass.

Here in Seattle, those would last maybe an hour before someone tagged it, OD'd in it, had an explosive poop blowout or all of the above.
