| Ignoring anime set in completely made up worlds, alternate universes, and other planets, probably Hellsing Ultimate. |
 |
| 4 out of 5 in my top 5 aren't set in Japan: Aria, Cowboy Bebop, Gankutsuou and Kino's Journey |
| Riding Bean. Right here in Chicago -- or at least -- the Japanese take on Chicago. XD |
| Click on this. I dare you. | MAL Fantasy Football League | Currently Watching List RWBY Club. RWBY is anime. Deal with it. |
| Eureka Seven |
 |
| I think that will be Spice and Wolf. |
| Reading this topic has made me realize that most of the animes I've seen were all set in Japan. So I think my favourite from the ones that weren't would be Haibane Renmei and Utawarerumono. For movies, it'd be Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away. |
     I am the senpai that notices you. |
| in Soul Eater, I think my friend told me Shibusen was in Nebraska or something :/ |
| Chrno Crusade, Soul Eater, Last Exile, FMA, Haibane Renmei, Gunslinger Girl & Kaleido Star~ :3 |

| Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann |
!Damn, im HOT today! :D! |
| Gurren Lagann, Spice & Wolf and Black Lagoon. |
    |
| Monster, clearly. And Cowboy Bebop, Ergo Proxy, and perhaps Escaflowne. |
 |
| Maybe Kuroshitsuji and Kino's Journey...not sure though. But, with all of the anime not set in Japan, why is it that usually every single person can speak japanese anyway? Like in Kuroshitsuji which I just finished, even the Queen of England speaks japanese... I know it's japanese animation originally made for japanese people but that part of it isn't very realistic. |
| "LET'S HOSPITAL!" |
| TTGL and Black Lagoon Oh and thank god most of the time they can speak Japanese - the engrish part of Black Lagoon made me laugh a little at first - but then it just gets really annoying - imagine 26 episodes of Engrish - not good XD |
| Kuroshitsuji & Baccano! |
    |
| Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann |
   |
| Spice and Wolf Monster and some of the ones that have their completely own world. |
| One Piece for sure |
| I really like the environment in Kuroshitsuji |

In most American movies and TV shows it doesn't matter what part of the world anyone is in - everyone speaks English. It's just easier for the film-makers, and the average TV viewer likely prefers it that way. Even in shows set in space, it's pretty common for aliens to just speak English, as ridiculous as that is. You just have to go along with it and suspend your disbelief a bit. So it'll be the same for shows made in Japan - everyone will most likely speak Japanese because that's what the viewers speak. I thought it was funny when this was lampooned in the Zatch Bell manga (when Kiyo confronts the Italian Folgore, the author notes: "Warning! They understand the other's words") (There are a few exceptions of course... the movie Kite Runner IIRC had people speaking their native languages when it made sense for them to [Afghani? No clue]. Also, for a recent anime example Eden of the East had people in America speaking English [though they seemed to be able to understand the people speaking Japanese, oddly enough...]. |

| Ah, my top three favorites all take place in Japan, then the next three on the list do not: 4. Black Lagoon (for the most part; one arc does take place in Japan) 5. Gurren Lagann 6. Haibane Renmei And strangely enough, the three that come after that also take place in Japan, followed by: 10. Kaleido Star Then Genshiken breaks up the list before another stream of three non-Japanese setting shows: 12. Baccano! 13. Zero no Tsukaima 14. Cowboy Bebop Then there's only one more foreign series on my top 20: 17. Outlaw Star |

| One Piece Black Lagoon Last Exile Cowboy Bebop Those are the only ones I can think of right now... While I enjoy stories that take place in Japan, my absolute favorite animes are often situated in fictional fantasy worlds or places other than Japan! |
