A map of where anime and manga are set rather than filmed, because nothing is filmed in a drawn show. 568 titles, 589 real places, 39 countries.

It has Washinomiya Shrine for Lucky Star and Hida-Furukawa Station for Your Name. It has nothing at all for Attack on Titan or One Piece, Slam Dunk is only Hiroshima, and about half the map is still just a city rather than the actual spot. (Working on it)

I have not gotten to the rest yet. If you know an exact spot, tell me and I might be able add it.

    Cool project!

    Utterly unhelpful, but I swear I’ve watched some kind of pirate/nautical themed anime set in the Philippines. I know they mention, and maybe even go to the Philippines in Black Lagoon, but I think it was a different show?

        I don’t think I’ve ever thought of One Piece taking place in any real life locations.

        But I feel like I’ve watched a lot of mid to somewhat terrible nautical/pirate themed anime from the 90s-2010s.
