As some already know, the setting and backgrounds of anime are sometimes based on real places. A well known one is Lucky Star. There they used the town Washimiya as setting. The shrines the Hiiragi sisters work at is an actual shrine there. This has led to large amount of fans and even the voice actors to visit the town and shrine.
Now I found a site where many of such anime/game are listed with pictures for comparison. Check it here. It seems more anime/games have real-life settings that I thought. It looks like the type moon and key games all have real-life settings. I guess the artists like some places so much they put it in the game/anime. For Haruhi, the area where the writer of the novel studied in his university times was used. Some way to pay tribute to the original author I guess. So anyone feel like visiting the area of your favorite anime/game when you're in Japan?
