If an anime doesn't take place in Japan, what's the most common location for it to take place in? (No fantasy settings or space, but anime versions of real cities do count, IE: Domino City in Yugioh is basically Tokyo in all but name)

I would hazard a guess China or maybe the US

Possibly Italy, Aria, Arte, Lupin the Third, Porco Rosso, and Thermae Romae to name a few but I have a feeling there is more Italian based anime out there.

There's been a lot of anime taking place in New York or a similar looking metropolis.

Probably Great Britain because it's closest to the typical fantasy settings, otherwise France I guess.

USA or Europe, specifically England, Germany and Italy seem to be the most represented at least from my experience. There probably is a factual answer but I'm too lazy to actually look that up haha
