One Piece is an obvious one, but my favorites are Made In Abyss and LotGH

And in a less obvious way :
- 3-gatsu no Lion
- Barakamon
I like your mention of these. The idyllic Marchtown and the quirky small-town where Handa moves to are wonderful worlds on their own. No fantasy or sci-fi elements of course but immersive nonetheless.

Stuff like angels, what they are, where are they come from, what is AT field, LCL, Central Dogma, Lance of Longinus, Nerv, Seele and others are the evidences that NGE has a complex world building. Area is not that important in world building.
Shinsekai yori only explored one town but it's world history is equal or better than NGE (Cantus, Fiends, Karma Demon, Attack Inhibition, Death Feedback, etc); Made in Abyss is only about one (gigantic) cave.
Adding a couple of features to our existing world doesn't seem that complex to me, especially if u compare that to stories that build their new world from scratch. I do acknowledge nge has some degree of world building, but it doesn't seem that much to me.

Well, adding one or two complex, intriguing and creative stuff is sometimes better than create entire new planet but still not creative enough in new ideas (quality vs quantity).

One Piece by faaaaar.
So many islands with their own history, weather, people, culture.

There are organizations like the government, which consists of even more smaller organizations, like the Marines. Pirates, revolutionary army, and many more.
The world of OP is complex and A LOT. No other series can touch OP' world building in my opinion.

That's the crazy thing, you could give even lessons xD

I think no written post could do the world building justice and you gotta experience the vastness, surrealness, and attention to detail yourself. It's so extremely rich.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

Fate stay night - they made battle royale with historical figure crossover looks like cult ritual instead battle game scenario
Attack on Titan - they made a good depiction of Weimar Republic with Eldians with a mix of Apartheid rule on it
Legend of Galactic Heroes - All the worldbuilding explained well in just 2 special episode of documentary

Do you know if Avesta is translated? if so where can i read it


One Piece easily has the best worldbuilding in anime simply by how big and detailed it is.

There are pretty much no translated passages except some in Russian and Vietnamese and the only stuff that is in English are summaries of chapters.

so if you want to read Avesta you either need to buy it Directly from "fantia.jp" or read the chapters summaries on Spacebattles.
