I wonder if anyone EVER mention to the anime/cartoon or even video games city skylines? Anyway, my real question is.

Which one in the Anime/Cartoon/Video Games, or any that are not real city skyline is your favorite?

Mine would be the Neo Tokyo in Akira anime movie, and the Metropolis in the Metropolis anime movie.

Neo Tokyo in Akira movie

I TOTAL WISH this is REAL!

Metropolis in the Metropolis movie

I would say this is very futurstic(sp?) city skyline.

[Monetto]

This is from the 5th element. It is not a cartoon and it does depict NY, but the rendering is so cartoonish and futuristic that it looks nothing like the real thing. Its nice.

It broken my heart to see Neo Tokyo got explode by Akira at the ending, but I think it is quite funny! HEHE:haha:

This is from the Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex series.

That series made absolutely no sense whatsoever.

[SagarisGTB]

Ghost in the Shell 2:Innocence if I recall correctly, and definately new port city from Stand Alone Complex.

Not a good picture. There were some great views during the first season, especially from a hotel room scene with a great skyline view and some views from above in helicopters.

I also recall cowboy bebop having an impressive skyline if im not mistaken.

[TheMeltyMan]

The last two cities might want to invest in a little greenspace. I reckon i'd lose it within 10 minutes of visiting those places.

[MNMike]

I always liked that skyline on "Darkwing Duck".

Patrick, I don't want to be the grim reaper but this thread is for anime/cartoon cities. :)

Although if it's all the same with everyone, we could extend this thread into video game skylines as well... (minus the Sim City games, for obvious reasons)

I was watching this cartoon on PBS called Postcards from buster(you know, the character from the arthur books and cartoons). He travels around the US. Once they were in houston and from their hotel room was an animated shot of downtown.

Transition from CBD to agricultural is a little quick. Is spraw gone in the future?

[CanadianCentaur]

Check this out - The city of Olympus from the DVD version of Masamune Shirow's manga series Appleseed. Although this is a CG movie and not strictly an anime cartoon movie, I thought the city scenes in the DVD weren't half bad, although I like the manga series a lot better than the DVD as a whole for the characters and storyline. Check out those giant mirrored things. Each of those is supposed to be an arcology, which is basically a city in one huge building.

This is not Olympus. It's the ruins of another city where Deunan Knute, the show's main human character, was taken from in the beginning of the movie.

It more a fortress, because when the city is under attack, all the tower can go underground.

[Smiley Person]

if I recall some of the towers are elevators for bringing giant robots up from the underground base.

Not really a cityscape, but pretty cool anyway! This shows the length that anime people go to render their existing cities.

CanadianCentaur - there's an anime of Appleseed from a while back. it's good, but again, not as good as the manga.

CGII - Tokyo-3 was built as, well, the headquarters of a secret global agency, hence the lack of sprawl. and a lot of it is underground, for its protection. and it is in Japan, and they live densely.

I know. I've seen the DVD and I have a couple of manga books on Appleseed. I didn't like the DVD as much as the manga. Although the scenes and SFX were nice, the main characters' personalities (especially Briareos, the cyborg in my avatar) were as different from those in the manga series as night and day. The storyline's different and simplified compared to the manga series, which is often the case for a lot of manga-derived movies.

[PuyoPiyo]

Yupp alot of anime take the places from Japan as settings, like the "X" have many different landmarks as special seals.
