Why do so many animu have fictional settings instead of

>>139000674
Money.

One reason is that they were going for a generic town and just really wanted to just be representative of the general idea of a Japanese city instead (or didn't want to hear complaints that they had gotten it all wrong from actual people living from an actual city)

A lot of comics and animation in general does this, even in the west, think of Springfield and The Simpsons for example

Easier to do whatever you want to do with it.

Colmar is not fictional and not japanese and not home to rabbit house

>>139000699
You have to pay the city?

They can throw in whatever the fuck they want and put it whereever the fuck they want if its fictional.

What the fuck

I don't know but I wonder why these girls doesn't have noses.

>>139002055
noses aren't kawaii

>>139002244
Not being able to breath isn't moe either. Are they some sort of aliens or something?

>>139000674
Fictional universe might need a fictional setting OP.

Venice replica on Mars, small historical German town in a beautiful scenery or a normal high school in the middle of Tokyo.

Which one sounds the most interesting?

>>139002827
What about a normal high school in the middle of a historical German town with a Venetian district

There are lots and lots of anime that take place in Tokyo or other major cities, and when an anime takes place in a small town it often helps with tourism to that area. So this is far from uncommon.

>>139000674
Depends on the anime.

Some towns literally sponsor an anime so that their towns are featured in the show

>>139003580
what a nice way to completely destroy your town's credibility as anything more than an otaku pilgrimage site

>>139004073
yeah but while you're here buy some themed merch
