The different world mentioned in Japanese comics is in Shanghai. Why do you say that?

There will be several different world series in Japanese comics every quarter, and the urban designs of some other world series are all the same, and they are jokingly called "different world Hengdian". Some friends discovered that the layout of Hengdian in another world is ninety-nine tenths similar to that of Shanghai. It cannot be said that it is completely unrelated, it can only be said that it is exactly the same. It seems that the "different world" that otakus want to travel to can be reached by just booking a flight and walking a few steps. Let’s analyze it in detail, as follows: Isekai Animation is lazy and the layout is almost the same

Isekai Hengdian is a relatively famous joke in Isekai Animation. Where the protagonist travels to, there is often a pancake-shaped The city is divided into two halves by a crescent-shaped river in the middle. Whether it's Dunyong, Suqing or the Grandson of the Sage, the layout of the city is almost exactly the same. It's all the same routine. Therefore, some people suspect that all other world animations are movies within the movie, all shot in this city, with a similar city layout. Therefore, it is called "Hengdian in another world".

The fundamental reason for the emergence of Isekai Hengdian is that the production team of Isekai is lazy. It takes a lot of brains to design a city. It is better to draw it directly based on the pictures found on the Internet. It happens that the best city to draw is Pancake. If it is a square shape, you should also consider the layout of the four corners. A pie-shaped city divided by a river in the middle is beautiful enough. And since ancient cities with similar layouts exist in reality, there are no copyright disputes. If everyone draws the same Hengdian in another world, they will not be questioned for plagiarism. The layout of Lujiabang Road in Shanghai is like a circle in Hengdian, a different world

A sharp-eyed netizen discovered that the famous Lujiabang Road in Shanghai happens to have a crescent-shaped river. If you draw a circle, it will look like a different world. Hengdian is exactly the same in the world. It turns out that Long Aotian, a different world in Japanese comics, actually traveled to Shanghai. It turns out that the different world that otakus want to reach is the Shanghai they see every day on TV, or the land under their feet. Those who have time to travel to Shanghai Friends can go shopping on Lujiabang Road and experience the layout of a different world.

Of course, the above is just a joke. There are countless similar crescent-shaped floodplains around the world. It just so happens that Hengdian in another world is actually an ancient town built on a floodplain. There is a floodplain plain in Lujiabang, Shanghai, which is naturally similar to the floodplain plain drawn in the animation. It is the animation based on the real floodplain plain city that makes Hengdian and Lujiabang in the other world look the same. If we circle other places in the world , also has the same expression effect. Hengdian in Another World, which looks nonsense but is actually scientific

Why is Hengdian in Another World designed to be a pie-shaped city built on a flood plain? In addition to the good paintings, another reason is that its layout is actually quite scientific. Although Isekai Animation likes to make nonsense, Isekai Hengdian does not make nonsense. First of all, a circular city wall is better for a commercial city relying on waterways. A point is intercepted on the upstream of the river, and a point is intercepted on the downstream, which happens to be two large city gates, and then the two large city gates are connected with a circle. At the same time, it is better than designing several city gates in a multilateral city.

If a city relies mainly on waterway transportation and land transportation is secondary, there is really no need to add a few more gates or design it into a polygon. However, isekai animations often contradict themselves, because the protagonist always takes the land route when leaving and entering the city, and there is a wide waterway that they do not use. Doesn’t it mean that the protagonist doesn’t like to use the main door and prefers to use the side door? In other words, the urban layout of isekai animations often looks like rivers are very important and are the lifeblood of the city. However, they do not mention it in the plot. Instead, the animation behaves like land is the main city. The design is scientific but the plot is unscientific.

Summary:

The different world Hengdian is indeed very similar to a part of Lujiabang Road in Shanghai. If you want to see a different world Hengdian, just open the map app. Isekai Hengdian is based on a real city, so it is all the same, but its design is scientific, but the plot of Isekai animation does not seem to reflect the layout of Isekai Hengdian.
