History SceneryGorn / AnimeAndManga

* The manga version of ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'' is known for being lavishly detailed, featuring battlefields littered with corpses mangled in different ways. It's a CrapsackWorld full of misery and death, and the art does not flinch from depicting it.

** Kishimoto is rather good at this. [[spoiler:We get to see the after-effects of Madara's ColonyDrop, shinobi crushed and laid scattered over the landscape as the smoke clears. Oh, not only that, what happened to the Kages that Madara did... well...a nd that's not even going into Obito's flashback!]]

** ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'': ''The End of Evangelion'' also takes the time to do this at the end with [[spoiler:Shinji and Asuka sitting on the shore, watching the red sea with GNR's giant, unmoving head in the distance]].

* ''Anime/CastleInTheSky'', featuring the decay of an ancient fantasy city.

** Oh, Anime/DragonBallZ '''[[SerialEscalation IN]] [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveSupernaturalPowers SPADES]]'''. To point where the cast would flat out abuse this trope on a regular basis. Seriously, ''nearly every fight'' in that show had a gratuitous amount of SceneryGorn. Quite possibly one of the best examples of SceneryGorn you'll ever see in anime was when [[SuperMode Super Saiyan]] Goku took on [[BigBad Freiza]] on Namek [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt as it was on the verge of imploding]]. My God. The amount of SceneryGorn that there was in that fight was astonishing.

* ''Survival'' by [[Manga/{{Golgo 13}} Takao Saitou]] is set in Japan after a devastating earthquake and features lavishly detailed sceneries of destruction and decay on almost every page.
* ''Manga/BattleAngelAlita''. Countless detailed scenes of the Scrapyard and the surrounding desert wastes. So relentless is the decay (and fastidious detail) of ''Alita'' that familiarity eventually blurs the line between Scenery Gorn and SceneryPorn.

* In the ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' manga, we are informed that the lab of Orochimaru that Snake is headed to was for researching the Cursed Seal and this is accompanied by a lovely [[http://read.mangashare.com/Naruto/chapter-349/page010.html page-and-a-half layout]] of one of the escaped subject killing a dozen researchers with their blood all over the walls (including one whose head he just crushed into a wall). In the anime, [[{{Bowdlerised}} we only see half of the bodies]] and [[BloodlessCarnage there isn't any blood]].
** Kishimoto is rather good at this. [[spoiler: We get to see the after-effects of Madara's ColonyDrop, shinobi crushed and laid scattered over the landscape as the smoke clears. Oh, not only that, what happened to the Kages that Madara did...well...and that's not even going into Obito's flashback!]]

** ''[[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion The End of Evangelion]]'' also took the time to do this at the end with [[spoiler:Shinji and Asuka sitting on the shore, watching the red sea with GNR's giant, unmoving head in the distance.]]
* ''Anime/{{Texhnolyze}}'', despite actually being [[SceneryPorn masterfully detailed]], features one of the more extreme examples of the CyberPunk Scenery Gorn setting.
** ''Manga/{{Blame}}'' and Tsutomu Nihei's works (''Biomega'', and ''Abara'') could be the manga counterpart for this. There are enough vast, ruined cityscapes to.. well, cover the [[CrapsackWorld planet]]. Definitely an AuthorAppeal.

* ''[[Anime/TokyoMagnitude8 Tokyo Magnitude 8.0]]'' has this in abundance, including the opening and ending themes.

* ''Anime/UruseiYatsura'' is well-known for its comedic value, but strangely enough the fourth movie, "Lum the Forever", is full of this. From the junkyard swarming with rats at the very beginning, to the natural disasters, from the futuristic megalopolis in Mendo's dream to the decaying corpse under the cherry tree and the war that's devastating Tomobiki at the end, it can be quite creepy at times.

* ''Anime/WeatheringWithYou'': [[spoiler:As punishment for Hodaka rescuing Hina, Tokyo is very badly flooded, to the point that many landmarks such as the Rainbow Bridge are partially if not fully underwater.]]

* ''Anime/YourName'': [[spoiler:The ruins of post-meteor strike Itomori]] are as disturbing as one might expect, littered with plenty of rubble and ruins, including at least one derailed train.
