* ''[[Beyblade]]'' had a tournament in Sydney, Australia. Some characters decide that they want to have private conversation, so they meet ''five minutes later'' on top of Ayers Rock. To those outside Australia, to get from Sydney to Ayers Rock they would have to cross half the country.
* Pretty much any anime where the cast visits San Francisco will place it in the middle of a desert. ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' at least makes it a cab ride away, while ''[[Lupin III]]'', despite remembering to include San Francisco Bay and the Golden Gate Bridge, puts it within walking distance.
* Anime seems to have a lot of exceptions: [[Eden of the East]] has a very accurate landscape and [[Durarara!!]] is very accurate in its portrayal of Ikebukuro, down to the vending machines.
** [[Eden of the East]] is largely accurate but includes one baffling exception. In the first episode, Akira visits an apartment of his in Northwest D.C. Problem is the address they give is actually the location of the National Gallery of Art's Sculpture Garden.
** In the same episode the opening montage features Saki's photo montage of her visit to [[New York City]], one of those photos features the building One World Trade Center (nickname Freedom Tower). The story takes place in [[Twenty Minutes Into the Future|January of 2011]] and the tower is not set for completion until 2013.
* Naturally used and lampshaded (by [[Only Sane Man|Beauty]]) in ''[[Bobobobo Bobobo-Bo Bo-bobo]]''.
