My High School was used as the model for an anime short by Shinichiro Watanabe.

I was there when he visited the grounds to sketch it and take notes.
Possibly.
There was one scene in Gundam 00 in my home country with an area that looked like a part of my hometown in it.
>>138604729
There was a terrorist attack flashback scene in 00, I think it was Belfast.

Nah, we lived in the upper-middle-class part of town where our neighbors were all filthy rich and we were merely "moderately affluent". My dad's a professor there, so the university helps pay for his housing.
Has the County of Kent, in England, ever been featured in an anime?
I thought so.
Yes, in Gosick episode 3

Also, Kekkai Sensen. I was going to say "I can't believe I forgot about that", but I can because it was fucking boring. There weren't any parts that were directly accurate, but they did a good job of capturing the feel of certain parts of the city; it was almost like watching someone have a dream set in New York City.

no because whenever they have to pick a north eastern city for a setting they always go for New York

Unless an anime requires a ghetto South London token black thief obsessed with rap, sex and a shitty vocabulary I think they'll want to skip my area.

Merriam-Webster defines it as "a cluster or aggregation of houses recognized as a distinct place with a place-name"

Sadly, Nips have only ever shown 2 parts correctly. nrg (formerly Reliant) stadium, where the Devil Bats played when they came to America the first time. They also showed "Houston" but the animators decided Houston must've looked a lot like New York City with a beach like LA.

Mahou Sensei Negima!, Soul Eater, Jormungand, D Gray Man, Ghost in the Shell, Black Butler, Golgo 13, Darker Than Black, Bits of Index and Fate/Zero.Strike Witches.
That's just off the top of my head, and literally 50% of period dramas and yaoi shit is set there.

I know they went to Wales in the manga but did they go to London too?

>Canada is an entire evil faction/ regime in Muvluv universe
I'm not bothered, just confused. Canadians can't oppress their way out of a wet paper bag. Why make them the big bad empire?
not anime but the n64 game sin and punishment feature long island.

Michiko no Hatching portrays it in a much better light than it trully deserves. Sure, it's a fucking lawless slum, but way LESS musical, colorful, beautiful and interesting irl. Big time.

There was a Neo-Canada in G-Gundam. It has a lumberjack Gundam piloted by a lumberjack.

I'm in Newfoundland. The closest thing to anime I can think of is that it was mentioned randomly in an episode of UFO, which is what inspired Anno to make Evangelion. So maybe he knows what Newfoundland is when he was a kid watching it...
Super robot wars OG has a battle in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
In Macross, the city built around the SDF-1 is just east of Winnipeg.
