Is there an /a/ equivalent to this? You know, a map of Japan with representative anime for each prefecture (or as many as we can remember)?

I'll start...

-Tokyo: Bake (based on the outer wards)
-Saitama: Lucky Star
-Hyogo: Haruhi
-Gifu: Higurashi

>>154513894
One Punch Man instead for Saitama just because of how overt it is

I mean, the main character is called Saitama and the known world is a giant super-continent shaped like the Saitama prefecture. How many other series in fictional worlds are that overt with references to a prefecture?

Enoshima - Tsuritama
Hakone - Yowamushi Pedal

Mitakihara also has the Gunma or Nagano prefectural hall there, as well as the Tokyo city hall and Burj Dubai.

There's only one correct answer for Kanagawa.

For Chiba? Yeah, there's loads of options for it.

I thought of Oreimo since it was an extremely popular series and did a lot of sponsored advertising with Chiba. There's also things like pic related that would be nice to have represented, if only slightly, by having Oreimo there. There has to be just a tiny hint of incest in the Japanese map. It only makes sense.

Maybe Maison Ikkoku for Tokyo? I dunno, it's a pretty detailed look at Tokyo's less-famous areas; sort of a reminder that not all of Tokyo is like Shinjuku or Odaiba. Would've said Bake but it's just too ambiguous.

Bake might be Niigata; there's a Naoetsu train station there, and it certainly snows enough.

Why Geass for Tokyo? It's not like their depiction of Tokyo was that well detailed. Kimi no Na wa and Kotonoha no Niwa are arguably the most accurate and photorealistic depictions of Tokyo in anime.
>>154538866
This would satisfy everyone.
>>
>>154542612
Not that anon, but I would assume you'd want to put the most well known anime in for each district, not the be representation of the district.
>>
>>154542693
Well then I'd still vote for Kimi no Na wa since it's a hell of a lot more popular than Geass.
>>
>>154542776
>More popular than Geass

Say what now?
>>
>>154542832
It surpassed fucking Spirited Away as the highest grossing anime of all time and received universal acclaim among critics and fans in Japan. Geass is only popular with otaku.
>>
>>154542926
Geass has a far more widespread appeal abroad. I don't have the numbers, but I can hardly imagine KnNW beating Geass in watch count.
>>
>>154542926
And are those critics and fans going to see this map? Probably not. This is for the fuckups here and here Geass is way more popular than Kimi no na wa.
>>
>>154543045
No. Geass was popular but it ran its course. Kimi no Na wa is STILL in the top 10 in Japan's box office even after 9 months. I love Geass too, but you're objectively wrong.
>>154543087
Now if we're talking popularity on /a/ then that makes more sense.
>>
>>154542693
The OP literally said "representative anime for each prefecture". Geass does not represent Tokyo.
