2. Enen no Shoubutai (Fire Force)
I find the structures in this anime a bit bizarre. Then again, this anime has the same author as the one who made Soul Eater

3) Shingeki no Kyojin (Attack on Titan)
Medieval Architecture!! By far, in terms of architecture in anime, AoT is my favourite. It's rare to pull off an anime wherein the setting matches the plot so well!

4) Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood
The architecture in this anime reminds me of the Industrial Revolution. Multistorey large buildings and the use of iron in structures (see the train terminal?) is noticeable in this anime.

5) Kimi no Na wa (Your Name)
An anime wherein it shows the standards of architecture in the daily lives of its country. Embracing modern architecture but never forgetting the culture.

6) Kimetsu no Yaiba (Demon Slayer)
An embodiment of the Taisho Era in Japan. The emergence of Western Influence is fused in Japanese architecture. Remember the part where Tanjiro's so shocked that the city is so bright? Might I include Muzan's Dimensional Infinity Fortress

7) 5 Centimeters per Second
One of my favourite realistic anime by Makoto Shinkai. The architecture in this anime helps give importance to the true to life theme of the story. See how each perspective look like they're from the real-life? Because they are.

8) One Piece
There are LOTS of architectural references in this anime. I'll name a few
The Alubarna Palace in Alabasta reminds me of the Taj Mahal
The Colosseum? Ancient roman architecture.
Water 7 has a resemblance to the Grand Canal.
Mariejois? French-Renaissance architecture

9) Ouran High School Host Club
The architecture in this anime screams "RICH!" Renaissance architecture and influence on Baroque and bit of Rococo creates a luxurious atmosphere in this anime. Leave it to the host club led by Tamaki to make Haruhi feel like a commoner.

10) Pandora Hearts
This anime has heavy references to the Alice in Wonderland story. Maybe that's why the architecture in this anime is Victorian with a bit of medieval-gothic and is used as a setting for this anime.

11) Haikyuu!!
Included Haikyuu because not just the players have a relatively realistic approach to the story but also the architectural setting of this sports anime as well!

12) Violet Evergarden
The versatility of the architecture in this anime is so definite that it complements the whole plot so well, you end up getting mesmerized. From the plot, characters, how it was delivered, animation, details... everything!! This anime is a whole package!

13) Code Geass
The mecha war theme that's part of this anime's plot takes advantage of the architecture in this anime- as this is set on an alternate universe ruled by superpowered nations.

14) Higashi no Eden (Eden of the East)
The architecture in this anime both exterior and interior, are so impressive. Not to mention the whole plot, which is, by the way, a must-watch!! It's animated so well for an 11-episode anime

---14.1) For what its worth, Eden of the East is definitely one of the few animes that take the architectural setting into detail. I mean, look at how these perspectives are put into realistic scenes? It's amazing!!
15) Eikoku Koi Monogatari Emma ("Emma")
A historical romance anime that shows a recreation of old England- a revival on Victorian Architecture! I really find this anime unique since the settings are done so meticulously; not to mention Emma and William's love story

16) Psycho-Pass
Architecture in this anime seemed to be both within the standards of modern society and technology. I was amazed since there was one structure in the anime that reminded me of Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater.

17) Berserk
[Yes, Berserk is just another level and needs a separate whole-ass architectural thread] https://twitter.com/animellectual/status/1250765587875160064?s=19

18. Akira (1988)
The architectural context is this movie is so profound, you can't help but be mesmerized by the representation of the architectural movement that is present in the film. Megastructures, tech innovations-- it's architectural metabolism
