User blog comment:Gundam Legilis/What kind of land is Mistral?/@comment-25936766-20170222021832

At first, I thought Mistral was like Eurasia too. Mostly due to Pyrrha.

...But post-Vol.4, I get this feeling any Europe side of Mistral, or Anima in general, has been almost-entirely retconned out. Because ''every. '''single. THING. In Anima that we've seen so far, has been extremely asian, and only' asian.

The architectural designs, the clothes, the cultures, the names, everything screams "Asia", not a single bit Europe. And even within Asia, it only screams "Japan". As if China, Korea, India, among others, didn't exist as alternative influences for at least a few places.

The only non-Japanese thing we've seen in Anima this entire Volume, was Nora. Just Nora. (And the Nuckelavee, I guess, though nothing says Grimm must fit the place they roam. We could have snakes in Atlas for all we know.)

Overall, I get this feeling there are only 2 possibilities:

1-Only Northen Anima is European-influenced.

2-Miles and Kerry forgot Anima is more than just Japan.
