Yeah I hope there was some savings in design budget.  Is this maybe an off the shelf design from Kinki?

Toei to manufacturers: "We want something like an E235 series, but different".

The designers just went full on Borg Cube with this one

[cteno4]

only half borg, they shaved off the top two corners.
 

Designer was a cubist.

Probably  the same designer who did the Pilatus PC-6 Porter

 

Anyway, the design of this train is close to nothing. Just a box for shoes with windows. Sad to see that Japanese able to design so many beautiful trains can produce such a train.
