| so what country are you from? And which anime mentions your country and how? |
 |
| I am from Germany and my country and fellow citizens are constantly being mentioned in anime and manga but usually just the very cliched exaggerated version of us people abroad know. Overlord with Pandoras actor for example ( I just watched a clip of that). |
| From Finland I believe someone in Love Live had a summer villa in Finland Fate/Kaleid has a finnish character Akiba's Trip has a finnish character |

| From Myanmar. And I'm really surprised when my country got referenced in Haiyore! Nyaruko-san (can't remember when) and Re;Creators episode 1 when the MC's tablet got error and show gibberish words (some words are my country's language). I thought mine's a no-name country. |
 |
| Well my own country is India and well mentions are less frequent but well there are many considering the long history of anime. |
|
| I am from india and although i don't know the name of all the anime series which has mentioned India or has an indian character in it but there are some who i do know about and those are, Shokugeki no soma Arslan senki darker than black Berserk D gray man Hayate the combat butler Black butler Space brothers Taboo tattoo Code geass Black lagoon Terra formars danmachi(light novel) Hetalia Kobayashi san's maid Eureka seven Jojo's bizarre adventure(don't know the exact season) Apart from that their are many mentions to different indian gods in many big anime series like Naruto |
| brazil jojo assassinatioon classroom haikyuu captain tsubasa and some more |
| South Africa's mentioned in both Black Lagoon: The Second Barrage and Gundam SEED but that's about it as far as I'm aware. |
Take care of yourself |
| Gyakusatsu Kikan is partly situated in Prague, Czech republic. There were even some easter eggs in the movie like Czech metro announcements and such. The audience in the cinema had a good laugh about some of the references. Edit: Lol, literally five minutes after I posted this I found out that the opening of UzaMaid has a Czech countdown at the beginning. That's what I call randomness. |

Higurashi Gou is the worst anime in existence. |
| I could live with less mentions, actually. Since it are usually stereotypes, silly names and nazis. |
| You're a louse, Roger Smith. - R. Dorothy Wayneright This is my fight! No Senpai, this is our fight! - Kojou Akatsuki & Yukina Himeragi  |
| Iran. Just some anime like arslan senki takes place in there... |
| Bangladesh, and I’ve no idea if has ever been mentioned yet. I’m not expecting it to be, but it’d be nice I reckon to at least know of one instance. |

Dunno. I think hitler has to do with that. Most of them mention him As well. Nah not even nazi stuff but a lot of people in anime are either from Germany or just speak german. |
Pylia said: oh did I remember the wrong series? Now that you mention it, I definitely remember Mugi having one in finland. Mine is Germany and as already said the country get mentioned a lot. Salokannel2 said: From Finland I believe someone in Love Live had a summer villa in Finland Fate/Kaleid has a finnish character Akiba's Trip has a finnish character Kotobuki from K-On has one in Finland. Tho it's possible that someone from Love Live also had a villa there, hmm.. |

| Actually a lot references to my country but I don't remember them all. There is a place in D.Gray-man that is inspired by, that guy with the nutcracker mentioned in Black Lagoon, there is a folklore song in Omoide Poroporo (along with the hungarian one) ect. There is a funny story behind the vocals in the Ghost In The Shell 1995 music. The composer wanted to use some folklore singers from my country but they refused to sing his score and insisted they would do only authentic stuff. So he made some recordings an then took them to japanese singers and said "Listen to this! I want you to perform with the same intonation but by my notes!". |
| Am from the land of the free, and there are tons of references to America in anime, although I can't think of any specific references at the moment. The biggest standout reference to America for me though is Part 7 of JJBA, where the setting is America. Although that is just a manga so idk if it even counts. |

| Black Lagoon has the Philippines as a terrorist hotbed (bless the fact that this show is set in SEA). And then Yokokuhan. IIRC, their friend was a half-Filipino bastard (can't remeber if he fell through the cracks of the Ninchi system; have to reread that manga again). |
| French so the list is long. Lets just mention oldies like Belladonna, Versailles no bara or Ie naki ko |
Prophetess of the Golden Era  |
| i heard michiko to hatchin is set in brazil (or somewhere based on brazil) but im not sure since i havent watched it yet |

| I'm from Belgium. I was quite amused when K-on! referenced Belgian chocolates. I think it was near the end of the second season, but amused I was. :-) |

| I'm from Estonia and the only refrence I know of is Hetalia, but that was show about countries. |
 |
| Germany and I almost always cringe whenever I hear German chanting or some German spell casting (I am looking at you Fate..) But I guess it is somewhat cool to understand segments of Anime in your native language. |

I'm from Honduras, and I've only seen it referenced in Haruhi Suzumiya, when someone comes to the brigade asking for help in locating her boyfriend, she comments on him being in another country |

| Time to mention this thread again: Anime set in Central/South/Latin America (or fictional analogues)? I live in the United States, but specifically a place that has a good deal of kinship with the Latin American world. Of course, me being in the United States also means this applies: Also, @blumenbalt -- Michiko to e Hatchin. madarchod said: You can add Sky Girls and Element Hunters to this list. Though I gotta ask, is "Aisha" a known given-name in India, at all?I am from india and although i don't know the name of all the anime series which has mentioned India or has an indian character in it but there are some who i do know about and those are, Apart from that their are many mentions to different indian gods in many big anime series like Naruto Also lol @ your username. |

  愛がなければ、見えない。 Without Love, the truth cannot be seen. |
| They mentioned Romania in Black Lagoon being the native country or the killer vampire twins. Alucard from Hellsing is a former Romanian king who became a vampire. All Romanians are vampires acording to anime. |
