God of what series?
Do you mean author? Is there an author named god?
>>143077991
Do you really? Explain why
>>143077427
is it even possible to have landmass form like that on a planet?
>>143078192
1.) It's a fictional series.
2.) Yes why would you think you couldn't have a landmass like that?
3.) You could get mad at reverse mountain, that would be impossible. In universe it makes sense though.
>>143078192
>>143078281
It's not magic.
There are planets that have a high ridge circling the planet. Add water and it'd look like One Piece's world.
Don't attack stupid shit, at least try and talk about the impossibility of reverse mountain.
That said in the end it's a fictional universe and it has to make sense in universe.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iapetus_(moon)
>>143080964
Earth actually.
A planet that is rotating has a bulge around it's axis of rotation.
Other plants that rotate as well.
Like are all you retards in grade 7 or something?
We'd just need a planet that that rotational bulge is the prominent feature of the planet.
But again this is a fictional universe. Those types of criticism don't really count unless they are contradictory in universe. This is something that's possible in reality.
>>143077427
>Also can we please not have this turn into an absolute shit post?
Obviously not. Did you forget where you are?
>>143081433
No I didn't. But I had hope for humanity today and now it's gone again.
Honneamise had a very solid world building, every thing felt exotic but also familiar.
>>143081451
That's what happens when you go on 4chan. Or reddit. Or Tumblr. Or Facebook. Or outside.

Considering how currents work and how water weathers land masses and creates natural straits and rivers no this land mass is entirely impossible

>>143077427
For me it's got to be Eureka 7 (AO not canon). The way it's able to mix mysticism with science, counter cultures into a military state, very distant past events with its current timeline, organic things like the alien landscape and fauna with "inorganic" things like the LFOs, and then tie all of that into its characters (antagonists and protagonists), that is nothing if not strong world building.
>>143081861
Do you have some ocean models to source for that?
Also no. I stupid ocean currents, which is why I told people the only criticism was basically reverse mountain, calm belts, and grand line in general.
The red line is not the problem.
The point in the end is it's a fictional universe and is explained in universe.
Also don't you think you're a little stupid to focus on things that are small nit picks, rather then big things like devil fruits? Nope you accept those because it's a fictional universe, but can't accept perfectly fine geology.

>>143081892
This,I absolutely love how Eureka seven's world building juxtaposed so many elements that would seem strange on their own.
Just the fact that you can't even put a time period on the show solidifies this. It was also filled with beautiful otherworldy scenery that was all explained in how it played a role in the world.

Can't beat One Piece, it's one of the longest manga of all time and its almost entirely about exploration and world building.
Other contenders are like Tower of God which is just too abstract and Full Metal Alchemist which is too brief.
I can't claim to know BEST worldbuilding. But I've certainly noticed GOOD worldbuilding.
>>143085364
I don't know the name of the author of Tower of God but fuck that faggot for writing such a shitty story in such a good universe.
Or intriguing worldbuilding that may or may not be good but I wouldn't know because no one's translated the LNs, like Pilot's Love Song.
I liked what little worldbuilding got through AKIRA's hamfisted mess of a story in Kyouran Kazoku Nikki.

I haven't seen Keit-Ai but from the description it doesn't seem to have any world building? It's just a sci-fi fantasy romance set in modern Nippon.

Shit was so cash.
They didn't need to do too much world building thanks to it being alternate history, but the re-imagining of the nuclear arms race was awesome.
>>143077991
Read history. You'll see.
It would be labeled as forced, character would be "retarded" and so on if it was a fiction.
Really. A book of history will be the least believable thing you ever read.
>>143086642
I agree to a certain extent. I loved that the mechs weren't overpowered and needed logical upgrades.
>>143086670
>A book of history will be the least believable thing you ever read.
>The Tumu Crisis also called the Crisis of Tumu Fortress, was a frontier conflict between the Oirats and the Chinese Ming dynasty which led to the capture of the Zhengtong Emperor on September 1, 1449, and the defeat of an army of 500,000 men by a much smaller force (20,000 men).
There's some shit in history that you just can't make up.
>>143086689
What? The mechs got way out of hand. Either you stopped at S1 or you've barely seen any mecha.
>>143086846
No I seen both. It was in general; and yes I felt they got a little out of hand. However even at the end there was no "I BROKE THE LIMITS OF MY MECHA WITH THE POWER OF MY WILL" like most mecha shows.
Only series I can think of with its own invented language with full grammatical rules.

Neat stuff. Crest/Banner has one of my favorite character concepts, too. The son of a democratic planet's president being made noble by a conquering monarchy - it's the sort of thing that would make the story intriguing even if it had no other redeeming value.

>>143077427
One Piece is good only because Oda is smart enough to never ever mention it's actual geography or talk about distance/travel times unless absolutely necessary and most of the time it is just "near" or "far.
There are for example theories that Foosha village was at the edge of the calm belt and allows for stuff like OP's pic to kind of make sense. But in actual world-building sense there is barely any of it.
I'd say the actual winner is FMA, specially considering that both the story and the geography are directly related to the plot (in contrast to One Piece in which they are mostly just excuses for ADVENTURE).
I don't honestly remember another anime where world-building is actually relevant.
>>143077485
Oh please there's very little world building to Turn A Gundam. It focuses mostly on personal character stories. We have no idea what the world is like outside the North American continent, and very little of the Moon society is explored.

Re:New x Testament is a manga spin-off to the Old testament LN, It's kind of good, but the MC is a wish-fulfillment, self-insert mary sue .
The quran is alright I guess, no one bothers translating it though, so you're out of luck if you're an EOP. The fanbase is extremely obnoxious too.
I suggest skipping the hadith, author tries way too hard at forcing his ideals, and the MC becomes insufferable.

There is cheap worldbuilding where you take reality, it's consistency and rules and modify them so that your story works, and then there is Horizon where you basically rewrite everything and try hard to keep is consistent.
Magi easy
>>143077427
deepest lore: the world of one piece is a post apocalyptic world to which the world was destroyed by making the planet tidal locked to it star by killing it rotational angular momentum about its axis. This caused the oceans to retreat from the equator towards the poles. all northern and southern continents were flooded only leaving the highest mountains as islands and an exposed equatorial landmass that stretches across the planet with hot and dry conditions.
>>143081861
It probably is, especially that much above water level. Then again, the war and Fujitoras test showed us how much destruction is possible in the world of One Piece. My theory is still that the world of OP had a lot more landmass before some broken df users destroyed half of it at some point.
