Set here
Anime that take place here. Nothing drawn was ever filmed here, so this is where the story is set rather than where a camera stood — a different claim from everything above, and kept under its own heading for that reason. The rows marked per its source work are placed by the book they adapt rather than by a statement of their own.
Drawn from this place
Anime whose Japanese Wikipedia article names Visby as a real place their setting was modelled on. Nothing was filmed here and no story happens here: somebody drew it from here. That is the weakest claim this atlas makes about a place, which is why it sits under its own heading, and each production’s page links the article the claim came from.
