What anime has the best SETTING? The quality of writing is irrelevant

Raildex has an excellent setting and worldbuilding but truly gets held back by the main characters.

Made in Abyss is definitely up there, it's very reliant on getting you intrigued by its world and wanting to see what lies further down

Planetes

I'm hopeful about Godless Planet getting something eventually.
Depends on how it plays out though I guess.

Unronically Fate / Type-Moon
There is no other IP in anime that has such a detailed and fully realized Fantasy world as Fate.

Not sure about setting, but Texhnolyze has my favourite world in anime.

Post-apocalyptic potato adventures.

This

Stuff like Kino no Tabi allows for basically any kind of story so it should win by default, but it makes no sense realistically since it's more of a device to incorporate different tales.
Among the coherent, unified settings, stuff like Kyousogiga, Diebuster, Kekkan Sensen, Macross come to mind because of how out there they feel. I admit I'm very partial to "standard fantasy with a great gimmick" kind of stuff like Kaminai, Densetsu no yuusha no densetsu or NGNL

The retard of the week setting was great.

Never has so much been made out of so few.

Re:Zero has a fascinating world.

This and Haibane Renmei are my two favourite settings, I'd give anything to be able to live in either of them.

>MiA
A fantasy setting that inspire feelings of danger, wonder and adventure are surprisingly rare these days. More often than not, the protagonist in never in real danger and can steamroll everything with his OP abilities.

Top tier worldbuilding. I love how writer's notes randomly start expanding on the world's diplomatic relations, SWAT protocols or weapon systems design. Faithful anime adaptation never.

Nobody remembers this one weird early 90s Gainax furry fantasy mecha anime that took place in a dystopian future where the Earth is sliced in half at the equator, the southern hemisphere (with all of the humans) is sealed away in a different dimension while the northern hemisphere is left alone for thousands of years so that the animals evolve into people and then suddenly the humans find a way back and try to conquer back the northern hemisphere.

Can't do much better than Horizon if you want top autisic-level worldbuilding

hell yeah motherfucker, i named my anime hard drive helvetia

Shinsekai Yori.

You wouldn't say that if Subaru wasn't there.

Great list.
I'll add GochiUsa, Reconguista in G, Giant Robo, Escaflowne.

If you want all-out lore autism, Five Star Stories outclasses anything else.

Fma.

I knew it would be using the feeling of intrigue as a hook, but it was still disappointing to see practically all of the upper levels skipped outright. And then they get into the mechanics of why and how things work and... I just can't buy further into it. First two or three episodes were good.

Blame! has an absolutely top tier setting.

Kanon 2006 is the only anime that i've seen which has perfectly captured a sense of nature and made it feel as real as literally being there.

Hunter X Hunter is a pretty cool world. Good for if you want to be a explorer. I like GITS as well.

>Haibane Renmei
>wanting to live in a fake, unchanging, purgatory-like world

Franxx

Honneamise really takes the cake as the best and the most realized world in anime, with its own history and culture. Even if the movie dont tell too much, with the visuals alone you can see familiar concepts but done in a really strange and foreign way, you know what they are but you can't explain what they are

The level of technology in it is great too; it's very turn-of-the-century industrial, but with rockets, and a little magic still left in the world.

This. It's probably the best eclectic europejapan comfy world, and also the best bittersweet plot.

>Made in Abyss
Agreed but it's too bad they see run through most of it. I'd love to see aan open world game in this seeing

Basically spaceship porn with cute girls

Also Squealer did nothing wrong.

Alien 9

It'll never happen, because works like MiA rely on glossing over in-world features. If you were allowed to take time and do research, the settings writers would have to come up with actual explanations for why some things are the way they are. Instead, if you were forced to pass them by (because the characters in the story do) then you could do just fine with a few cool-looking shots of this or that and move on.

>I'd give anything to be able to live in either of them
Then is your day of luck because Sora no Woto takes place in a real city from Spain.
