Categories:Setting:Place
The places the anime can take place in. Includes more specific places such as a country on Earth, as well as more general places such as a dystopia or a mirror world.
Earth
That big mud ball that most of us live on.
Americas
United States
The land of the free. Including Alaska and Hawaii.
Asia
China
Very big, cheap Rolexes, everyone does kung-fu.
Japan
Last stronghold for humanity, if Tokyo falls, it's all over. Tokyo tower will undoubtedly fall anyway.
Korea
Split personality, zerg rushers.
Russia
Bears, vodka, bigger than China.
Note: this also includes the European part of Russia (you know, the part where Moscow is, before the Ural mountain range).
Europe
France
Le fuck!
Germany
Ja, trink mein zaft du gailes luda!
Italy
They make good porn too!
United Kingdom
Oh bollocks, I'm late for my 5 o'clock tea because of this bloody weather!
Fantasy World
A fantasy world is a type of imaginary world, part of a fictional universe. Typical worlds involve, but are not limited to magic or magical abilities and a medieval theme. Some worlds may be a parallel world tenuously connected to Earth via magical portals or items; a fictional Earth set in the remote past or future; or an entirely independent world set in another universe. Many fantasy worlds draw heavily on real world history, geography and sociology, and also on folklore.
Dystopia
A dystopia is a fictional society that is the antithesis of utopia. A dystopic society is characterised by negative traits the author chooses to illustrate, such as poverty, dictatorship, violence, and/or pollution. The only trait common to all dystopias is that they are negative and undesirable societies, but many commonalities are found across dystopian societies. In general, dystopias are seen as visions of "dangerous and alienating future societies," often criticizing current trends in culture. It is a culture where the condition of life is "extremely bad," as from deprivation, oppression, or terror. Most dystopias impose severe social restrictions on the characters' lives.
Mirror World
The only example i can think of for mirror world is this: Imagine a world where persons have angel like powers/attributes (good persons and all that) the mirror world of this one would be a world with the same locations and in the same timeline where all the persons would be demons (bad persons and all that). Mirror World is a subset of Parallel Worlds/Dimensions.
Virtual Reality
A place where the character interacts with a computer(or some other device)-simulated environment, be it a real or imagined one. The condition for a virtual reality to exist is the existence of real world for the character. In some cases, a virtual reality where characters can get harmed physically is depicted.
Space
The final frontier.
Other Planet
The anime will fit this category if some or all of the action takes place on another planet which is supposedly in the same universe as Earth, not a complete fantasy world; usually there has to be some concept of space travel. The Latin name for Earth - Terra, would also pass the condition. Basically, even mentioning of Earth existing or having existed would be enough. Although Moon is a moon, it also qualifies as Other Planet.
Shipboard
Beam me up, Scotty! Space stations (think Death Star) also count. Basically, if the setting takes place onboard a spaceship in space, this category is applicable. If the spaceship lies on a planet and never actually gets into space, then you should not add this category.
