Artistic License Geography: Difference between revisions

** In one episode in Vietnam, Kai ''walked'' from Hanoi to a port and back in a day. Firstly, if you look at the map, Hanoi has no port, the nearest one from there is in Hai Phong, which takes 4 hours to travel by car (assuming it doesn't cross the speed limit), and another 4 hour to go back, and somehow Kai traveled back and forth between the 2 places on foot... in a day... before the sunset. And no, Kai is a human character in this vampire series, and even for the vampire characters, only the Schiff variants have sonic speed power.

** Averted, though, in [[Darker Than Black]] 2, where they've ''did'' the research. Sure, the weather was shown to be a bit too balmy for a season, but warm spells ''do'' tend to happen around New Year, and everything else was pretty much spot on.

** Most eregiously, in the colony drop scene from the original ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam]]'', although the city is said to Sydney, Australia, the location shown is quite clearly New York.

* ''[[Shinzo]]'' takes place 300 years in the future; apparently, geography has changed until New York is nowhere near an ocean and the Statue of Liberty is partially buried by the land. At the same time, Egypt is entirely covered by ocean, and you can reach it in half a day starting from the Alps while moving in a vehicle that goes about 30 miles per hour.

 

== Fan Fic ==

* A lot of fanfic writers think that California is sunny all year long, when the weather from September to mid/late May is completely unpredictable. Winters on the coast are also extremely rainy, windy, and cold.
