Anime is a Japanese animation and manga artform that has gained popularity in the United States and other countries in recent years.

The anime set in south america is a list of 10 anime that are set in both North America and South America.

We’ve seen the streets, gardens, and pretty much everything else in Japan thanks to a lot of anime and manga exposure.

Whether it’s fictitious representations of places, historical sites, or one-to-one recreations, there’s something for everyone. There’s a lot of Japan in anime.

But what about anime set in far-flung corners of the globe?

We’ll showcase some of the best anime set in America in this list, including programs and movies set in a range of locales. This covers locations ranging from the ancient United States of America to the South American rainforests, and all in between.

It’s a fast-paced tour of well-known locations and monuments, with a few surprises thrown in for good measure.

 

Red Garden is number one.

The tale of four girls attending a private school on Roosevelt Island in New York City is told in this spooky thriller.

They wake up to learn of their friend’s death, only to discover that they are also dead.

This is a unique and fascinating anime – even outside of its odd premise – with plenty of psychological horror and thriller moments.

Murder, mystery, and intrigue are all woven into the fabric of the story.

There’s also no lack of action.

Fun fact: this program was animated in a manner that is very uncommon in Japanese animation. To establish a tighter sync between the characters talking and the motions on screen, the voices were recorded first, and then the animation was done around those recordings.

It’s very beautifully done, and it’s another more reason to like this show!

 

Battlefront: Blood Blockade (Kekkai Sensen)

Blood Blockade Battlefront (Kekkai Sensen) anime

It’s New York City again, but not in the way you remember it.

Welcome to Hellsalem’s Lot, a place where crooked people coexist with terrible monsters from another realm.

You can probably guess how well that goes most of the time.

You’d be correct!

The Libra agents, charged with keeping the terrible inhabitants of what used to be NYC in and the rest of the world outside, are trying to maintain the peace (and preventing the city from spilling out into the actual world).

This is high-octane action packed with distinctive characters ready to pound one other at any moment.

In addition, there are just two seasons left (possibly a third on the way). So bingeing won’t take long.

 

3. Fish with Bananas

It might have an absurd name, and all of the characters may have even more absurd names.

But believe me when I say that Banana Fish does not hold back when it comes to drama.

On the surface, it seems to be pretty shojo entertainment, yet it isn’t hesitant to handle extremely dark and mature themes.

While the protagonists cope with the mystery “Banana Fish,” they also have to deal with gang violence, murders, the Vietnam War, and busting some human trafficking networks, all while maintaining their love.

I’ll admit, they are probably the more common names.

Banana Fish is based on a manga that was serialized in 1985, but due to its considerably more contemporary translation, it stands up well.

Look for this one, but don’t forget to bring your finest weeping reasons!

 

4. The 91st Day

Buckle up, because there’s going to be a lot of prohibition-era Chicago action from here on out.

There don’t seem to be many historical locations worth putting a tale in in the United States.

In the 1930s version of “91 Days,” Angelo Lagusa seeks vengeance against the Mafia family who killed his family in the fictitious hamlet of Lawless.

You may assume this one isn’t very family friendly based on that sample alone – and you’d be right, you astute reader.

As Angelo makes his way to the top of the Vanetti family, body by body, expect plenty of treachery, backstabbing, and more than a few psychopaths.

It’s heart-pounding stuff at times, and definitely worth a look.

 

5. Superhero

Stan Lee, the late comic book icon, collaborating with Bones, the famous anime studio?

This Avengers cooperation is deserving of the moniker alone in terms of partnerships.

Heroman, set in a fictionalized version of Los Angeles called Center City, has it all: gigantic robots, extraterrestrial invasions, and, of course, alliterative characters.

Joey Jones joins forces with Heroman, a mechanical toy hit by unusual lightning, to repel extraterrestrial invaders sent to Earth by his science instructor by mistake.

I mean, do you really need much more of a summary than that?

Heroman is an action-packed superhero tale set in the twenty-first century. Take Stan Lee’s word for it if you don’t believe me.

He’s said to know a thing or two about superheroes.

 

Michiko and Hatchin are number six (Michiko to Hatchin)

Michiko and Hatchin’s journey begins with an abduction in a fictitious South American nation, like all good buddy adventures do.

The two are as diametrically opposed as the poles. However, as the series progresses, they both understand that they wouldn’t be able to live in the world they’ve been thrust into if they didn’t have each other.

This anime is about good and terrible relationships.

Michiko and Hatchin is the tale of two women and their struggle for liberation from their separate prisons, one of which is a real jail in Michiko’s case. But it also demonstrates how interpersonal relationships may be more essential than we would think.

There’s plenty of drama, action, and heartwarming/breaking moments in this film. The environment is really stunning.

There isn’t anything here that I wouldn’t suggest, so check it out!

 

The Pet Shop of Horrors is the seventh film in the Pet Shop of Horrors series.

There are no singing plants or cruel dentists in this horror anime.

It is, nevertheless, abundant in horrifying creatures.

Pet Shop of Horrors, set in Los Angeles’ Chinatown, is a “monster-of-the-week” type program with a focus on “monster.”

“Count D” is the owner and proprietor of this macabre menagerie. There are no rewards for figuring out who that name is a reference to.

Each of his animals has a contract with the customer that must not be violated under any circumstances.

The majority of the episodes focus on the buyers’ terrible fates as a result of unknowingly violating the contract’s conditions.

From beginning to end, it’s a sloppy good time.

While the narrative does not follow a linear progression from episode to episode (due to the format), it is nonetheless enjoyable to watch.

 

Chrono Crusade is the eighth game in the Chrono Crusade series (Chrno Crusade)

Chrono Crusade (Chrno Crusade) anime

It’s time to return to the Prohibition period.

This time, America is in the Roaring Twenties, and although the Mafia still rules the streets and alcohol is more prohibited than ever, demons are attempting to take over the globe.

It pours when it rains.

The Order of Magdalene, thankfully, is on hand to smash, banish, and otherwise expel the demons wherever they may be located.

The program focuses on the society’s New York chapter, but it moves throughout the United States from north to south as it proceeds.

Chrono Crusade is for you if you enjoy firearms, huge battle scenes, and more than a few holy water-related meltings.

After a time, though, the anime diverges significantly from the manga.

That’s a good enough reason to binge them both!

 

9. (Bakkano!) Baccano!

To put it simply, Baccano! is an amazing blast.

It’s the 1930s in America (again), and the Mafia is on the loose (again).

This time, though, there are airships! And humans consuming one another in order to become immortal!

It’s just as insane as it sounds.

Baccano! has received a lot of positive press, and for good reason.

Everything comes together in this spectacular tornado of action: the narrative, the music, the pace, and the action.

If you like rural walks, contemplative meditation, or anything that isn’t a mile-a-minute gore-fest that speaks with fists rather of words, this is the film for you. Then you should probably skip the program.

You would, however, be losing out on a program that every anime lover should watch.

 

Supernatural: The Animation (#10)

As you read this headline, I can immediately feel the “one of these things is not like the other” emotions.

While it may not seem to be a “wonderful anime,” believe me when I say that I prefer this adaptation to the live-action program.

It adheres much more strictly to the monster-of-the-week structure, which I like.

There are new tales tossed in as well, and it maintains its journey across the United States in a nice automobile style.

However, the dynamic between the two brothers, Sam and Dean, is probably the most essential aspect of the program, and it was harmed by technological problems.

Due to schedule difficulties, Jensen Ackles could only voice the final two episodes while Jared Padalecki was on board to play Sam.

As a result, things may sometimes feel a little wrong, just enough to be noticed. But that isn’t enough, in my view, to dismiss the series and never give it a chance.
