| Now we all now there are a lot of stock location for an anime to take place in. The most notable of which being high school. However what anime has the most unique setting that it take place. My pick would be Magi. I can't think of a single other anime that take place in an ancient middle eastern setting. Part of makes Magi standout is its setting and the way the characters dress. I wish a lot more anime would take place other countries for varieties sake. |

| Ahh, you beat me to it with Magi. I've been saying for years how superb the setting of that show was, along with the characters' attire. My next answer may seem like a surprise, but, One Piece is very unique with its setting, as not only does the scenery change very frequently, but, the backdrop of pirates seems to be ultra rare for Anime. I can count the amount of pirate Anime I've seen/heard of on 1 finger... that finger being dedicated to One Piece. |

| one piece the amount of places the strawhats travel to and the unique way they dress to fit their environment for example in wano. i love one piece. |
 |
| Morioh from jojo part 4 or the main setting for part 7 are the first that comes to my mind. Morioh is a really memorable and unique location even in jojo standards in my opinion. The whole part 7 setting and concept is one that i've never really seen be used anywhere else either. |
 |
| Toriko's setting with unusual animals and food, Amagai Brilliant park's setting, Arslan Senki's ancient Iranian setting. |
 |
| Shinsekai Yori. Very unique world building with complex characters and gritty plot. |

| Dorohedoro. The scenarios and characters are pretty unique. |
| Imagine how boring this world would be without Japan - a comment at youtube |
| The main setting of Galaxy Express 999 is a train. Also, not absolutely unique, but the underwater setting of Nagi no Asu kara is quite original. And then there is Cells at Work, inside a human body. |
 |
| One Piece definitely. Maybe HunterxHunter can get close but yeah One Piece has some crazy places in it's world setting. It's geography is like a 'fuck you' to physics. |
| Turn A gundam's post apocalyptic early 20th century america with mecha is somethimg I've never seen before. |

| Re:Zero has substantial world building, and the lore is further intriguing. |

| Umineko- It's setting is on an island but when you'll read it you can't even tell this place exist or not. |

| Tower of God, I can finally mention it in anime discussions, but the great setting and atmosphere is 100 times better in the manga, but the overall world and setting are outstanding in quality and uniqueness. |
 |
| After Magi, the next unique setting that comes to mind is from Ancient Magus Bride, English forest settings is not something we see often. |
 |
| Houseki No Kuni, Shinsekai Yori, Dorohedoro. These three absolutely nailed it with their unique and out of the box premise. These shows definitely brought something new to the table for me. |
| I have to go with Re zero.The characters are so well written and it has one of the best world building. Till now I have seen 3 isekais and the most unique Isekai I have seen will be Re zero. |

| The setting for Land of the Lustrous is wonderfully unique. |

| Suisei no Gargantia, the setting is water, just water, and evil calamari are trying to kill you |
    |
| Gintama with Edo and modern technology fused and monogatari with the avante garde places. |
| For me it would be A Certain Magical Index, world where magic and science cross paths. I have never seen world this refined where elements of both scifi and fantasy works so well. And the beauty which novels bring later in the story is just unforgettable. |
 |
Girls' last tour I mean its the most realistic dystopian setting I have ever seen. The characters just live and do nothing about it, they realize that that's just their life now and they just have to live with it. Oh and the visuals are amazing  |
 |
| Well, a lot of the ones I was going to mention were already posted here, so I'll say Last Exile and Gankutsuou had pretty unique settings, though the latter isn't as developed as the former in that department. |
| Who are you and why do you show your hostility towards a complete stranger whom you've not once spoken with before. Are you seriously asking to get blocked? Well, if that's what your intent is; to tempt me into throwing hands with someone as lowly and insignificant as you, then i may grant your wish provided you articulate yourself a bit better when trying to spite a person of my wavelength. |
| I haven't watched it yet but cells at work is pretty out there |
| I think AoT,Made in Abyss and Berserk have unique setting. |
"Raise your words, not voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder"~Rumi |
| Made in Abyss. Concept of "another world" inside a giant hole on the ground and the consequence of seeking that place is what i think my most unique setting from other anime that i watched. When i watch this anime, i felt my curiosity is reaching to the top, wondering if the scenario really happen in this world.. |
 |
| Well, every anime has their own uniqueness, if I had to list then it's all of the anime I've watched till now. But recently it's Deca-Dence for me. |
| Apart from the ones mentioned, I would go with Dagashi Kashi - it's all about the sweets Death Parade - the afterlife games to decide which path the dead may follow Dimension W - I don't recall ever watching an anime that explores the existence of a 4th dimension Dr. Stone - going back to the stone age and rebuild the world as we know Fune wo Amu - apparently, creating a dictionary has its charms High Score Girl - revolving around the videogames world and its evolution Kore was zombie desu ka? - a Magical Girl Zombie Guy? |

| Me: Shenron I have gathered all seven dragon balls I here by summon you to grant my wish. Shenron: I am The Eternal Dragon. Speak your wish so I may grant it. Me: I wish for you to revive this thread. Shenron: Very well then. It is done Farewell. |

| ^ Lmao Basically every Ghibli movie out there. |
 |
| My best bet would be One Piece. There is just no limit to whatever kind of islands, locations, characters, and even culture in this world. It has a plethora of its own kind, its lore is something I would not even imagine even if I'm influenced with drugs. Yet, here they are. These are the most mystifying for me: |
 |
| Neo Venezia from Aria is literally just Venice, Italy but it's still one of the most beautiful worlds I've seen in an anime. |
    beep boop bop pow |
| For me it's Juuni Kokuki. At first glance the setting might not look all that unique but the world's politics and mythology is explored in great detail and it's not just useless info dumps but plays a vital role in how the the story develops. |
 |
| One Piece! The world-building is what makes this series so great |
