Default 10/4/09 - 5 anime with the best cultures
This week we'll vote for 5 anime with the best cultures.

For many anime, it makes the most sense for them to simply use "normal" cultures that are along the same lines as the basic present-day (or historical) culture in Japan. In some cases, though, the creators seek to create a world with its own culture - its own customs, holidays, entertainment, etc. Which anime come to your mind that did the best job with this?

Happy Voting ^_^

**Voting Closed**

The top 5:

Haibane Renmei
Aria
Kino's Journey
Fullmetal Alchemist
Seirei no Moribito

Thanks for voting!
