Where is The Big O set?

Japanese anime television series

The Big O — 1 real place Japanese Wikipedia files it under as its setting, in United States. Wikidata records no setting for this anime at all, so this is a category rather than a statement, and it is labelled that way below. Where the anime takes place, not where it was made: an anime is drawn and filmed nowhere, so this is the only kind of location it has.

Places per Japanese Wikipedia — “ニューヨーク市を舞台としたアニメ作品” category

Japanese Wikipedia’s “ニューヨーク市を舞台としたアニメ作品” category lists 1 place. A category is an editor’s judgement rather than a sourced statement, so these are listed apart, never mixed into the statement list, and the claim links straight to where it came from.

Drawn from these real places

Nothing was filmed at these and the story does not happen in them. They are the real places this anime’s setting was modelled on, named in its Japanese Wikipedia article. That is the weakest claim this atlas makes about a place, so it is listed apart from everything above and never counted as a filming location.
