These are generic "bad world" without explaining perspective at all. I've pulled them:
- Bleach:
- Soul Society is an afterlife that resembles Ancient Japan, with all of the problems and dissonant morality that implies. Even further than that, Soul Society is split between Seireitei, where the rich and powerful live, and Rukongai, a massive district where everyone else lives. The further from Seireitei you travel in Rukongai, the more impoverished and lawless it becomes. Also keep in mind that you can grow old, become sick, feel pain, and die in the afterlife.
- Hueco Mundo is even worse. It's a massive, dull and lifeless desert inhabited by ravenous spirits called Hollows that seek souls to devour. Most choose to hunt in the Living World, but the most powerful ones can only be sustained by eating other Hollow, which means Hueco Mundo is essentially a Darwinian theme park. This becomes even worse if you manage to evolve to a Hollow's penultimate form, the Adjuchas. Adjuchas must continue to eat others of their type or else permanently devolve back into a weaker, mindless form.

Is the page image really an example? It looks more like the simple agrarian village's only water supply is heavily polluted by the advanced city, which would make it a straight Crapsack World, not this trope.

Might want to report that to Image Picking.

I'm having difficulty understanding how the Bleach example is an example.
