I know this has probably been posted here before, but are there any other animes that are set in really accurately drawn real life places like in The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya?

I presume that putting real locations into anime is a very common practice with any series set in modern Japan...I mean, it's easier than making them up yourself.

Figure Japan is so small compared to Europe and the Americas that its difficult to make up a generic setting like we can do. We can make up some Itallian Villa or a Texan desert town and have it fit into some place on our maps easily without removing a major city or landmark.

Tons of animes have that. Maybe not exact real life places, but japanese-like scenarios... as there are lots of animes that tells stories of everyday-life situations.

this is why I wouldn't have a problem staying in japan for awhile. The setting there just has a nice mood about it.
