[The Witch from Mercury] Anchorage, the largest city in Alaska, has a population of about 300,000, which is comparable to Akita City in Japan.

Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)15:44+

Modern infrastructure such as shopping malls, theme parks, and university hospitals is all in place, but…
In cases where advanced specialized medical care cannot be provided within the city, it is necessary to transport patients to Seattle, which is 2400 km away in a straight line.

6: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)15:57Yeahx12

The oil capital is amazing.

22: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:03Yeahx1

>>6Countries in Europe that can maintain a small but advanced degree of自治 typically have resources.

51: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:33

>>6Despite having a university hospital, the inability to provide advanced specialized medical care indicates that rural healthcare cannot be resolved with money alone.

1: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)15:45Yeahx32

2400km!?

2: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)15:50

Seattle is at a level of about 700,000 people.
Do not mistake Akita City for Yamagata, Morioka, and Sendai, which are nearby.

10: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)15:58

>>2However, since it is a hub for IT companies like Microsoft and Nintendo of America, the GDP is significant.

18: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:02Yeahx6

>>2Seattle is extremely vibrant…

25: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:05Yeahx4

>>2Is that all there is in Seattle?! But it seems like that’s just for the city of Seattle itself; the metropolitan population is around 4 million.
The entire West Coast of America is pretty much like Nagoya, so you shouldn’t rely too much on local population figures.

32: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:07

>>25In the first place, a third of the area of a port city is sea.
In terms of population density, there are 2000 people per square kilometer.

3: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)15:51

Because Russia sold it to America…
Is it closer than going to Russia?

5: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)15:56Yeahx1

>>3In the first place, there is nothing on the east side of the Ural Mountains.

12: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)15:59

>>3The closest large town in Russia to Anchorage is Khabarovsk, but it’s 4,800 kilometers away, about the same distance as to Sapporo, so it would be better to go to Seattle!

4: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)15:55

The climate was better than I expected.

13: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)15:59Yeahx2

>>4Cities in Canada exist stuck along the border with the United States.
People who choose to live in the harsh lands close to the Arctic are peculiar, quirky, and strange individuals who dislike humanity.

7: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)15:57Yeahx10

Japanese cities have such a large population…

11: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)15:58Yeahx11

>>7There’s no flat land, you know.
Gather in a livable place.

69: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:46

>>11That’s not what I’m talking about.
The United States has a land area that large with a population of 400 to 500 million, yet Japan has 120 million people.

72: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:49Yeahx4

>>69It’s not even close to 400 million. Where did the 400 to 500 million come from?

8: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)15:57

In Japan, direct flights have become the norm, so I haven’t heard much about them lately, but I wonder what it’s like now.

9: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)15:58

The idea of putting all those commercial public facilities and residential areas inside a giant building because winter is too harsh is amazing.

14: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:00Yeahx8

I only know about Alaska from Joshua.

15: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:00Yeahx1

There’s a movie about how there were only dog sleds to transport serum to Nome, Alaska a long time ago.
I have heard that there are still no roads.
Well, it’s because there are airplanes and ships.

20: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:02Yeahx2

>>15Glacial terrain is difficult to navigate.
It’s far from Anchorage, but Juneau is a decent city; however, it can only be reached by air or sea.

16: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:01

Is there still a udon restaurant now?

17: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:01

The terrain is surrounded by rugged mountains, so the climate might be surprisingly mild.

19: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:02Yeahx1

When it comes to Alaska, it’s all about the railway!

21: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:03Yeahx1

Gnomes lived in Alaska, huh…

23: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:04

There are also quite rare cases of highly specialized medical care that university hospitals can’t handle…

24: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:04

How far is it in a straight line from Tokyo to 2400km?

27: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:05

>>24Hong Kong

26: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:05

I don’t think I’m the only one who doesn’t really recognize the name outside of Fallout.

28: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:06Yeahx7

It’s too reckless to try to compete with Seattle in Akita.

29: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:06Yeahx4

Still, compared to Mercury, it seems that Kanagawa Suleta has developed quite a bit of sociability.

34: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:10Yeahx2

>>29It really feels like a knockoff…

42: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:28Yeahx1

>>34The correct one is the Alaska Sledder.

30: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:06

In other words, Japan is overcrowded, and even in rural cities that are deserted, the population is just large.
It’s a decent city if there are about 100,000 people, not just in America.
Sweden is already in the 100,000 range in its fourth largest city.

31: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:07

Both Seattle and Anchorage have huge airports in the city.
Even when it comes to carrying patients, it seems like I could manage it quite smoothly.
I don’t know the cost.

33: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:10Yeahx6

Alaska? I know, I know.
That’s where Shadow Moses Island is, right?

35: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:11

I thought, isn’t there a way to manage without going all the way to Seattle, just on the Canadian side? But looking at the map, it doesn’t seem like there’s much of a solution.

37: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:13

>>35There’s nothing on the West Coast!

36: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:12Yeahx3

I was wondering what the medical system in Anchorage is like, so I looked it up.
An article came out about a moose attacking a hospital and eating the houseplants, and it made me chuckle.

38: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:13

Alaska population density: 0.5 people/km²
Kanagawa population density: 3,811 people/km²

39: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:14

Since there are many indigenous people, I also feel that Suretta might come from that lineage.

49: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:32

>>39From the message of Amazing Big Sister, it seems that that family (the mother?) might be flying around various places, so I don’t think it’s necessarily from Alaska.

40: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:25Yeahx1

Our city also has a population of 300,000, but we don’t even have a cinema.

41: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:26

There was a base called Joshua in Alaska in SEED, right?

43: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:29Yeahx1

In Japan, there are places where 100,000 people live in a rural area with only an AEON store, so they are a cost-effective民族 (ethnicity).

44: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:30

Outside of Japan and Hokkaido, you can find a convenience store or supermarket within 50 km.
It’s already like a big city.

46: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:31

>>44There is a convenience store and a Yaoko within a 150-meter radius, but I wonder if they lived in a megapolis.

45: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:31

Compared to the scale of America, Japan feels like the whole country is just a small city.

47: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:31

Don’t underestimate Alaska! In addition to oil, natural gas, gold, silver, lead, zinc, and coal, there are also crabs!

53: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:34

>>47This body grown from working part-time in crab fishing.
If Sleta doesn’t do it, then who will?

62: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:43

>>47However, natural resources have high mining costs and development has stalled multiple times.

48: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:32

Is there a town or community inside the super-large apartment complex?

50: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:33Yeahx2

If half of Japan were flat land, it wouldn’t have needed to become this overcrowded.

86: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)17:01

>>50If the number of dependents increases, won’t it ultimately become overcrowded?
Like in urban areas of India.

91: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)17:20

>>50If we don’t transform the Japanese archipelago…

52: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:33

All I know about Anchorage is that it’s the place where I somehow managed to make an emergency landing with a plane while piloting it like a muscle.

54: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:34

Crabs are the arch-enemy of the nameless…

55: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:35

Well, about two years ago, the crab fishing in Alaska was temporarily banned because 1 billion of them died.

57: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:39

>>55What happened?

60: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:42

>>55Naso
Nin

56: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:37

2400km is about the distance from Akita to Taipei, isn’t it?
It’s 1200km even in Kagoshima.

58: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:41

Well, if it’s aerial, it’s just a quick hop.
Try to ride it like I do! (If you can!)

61: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:42Yeahx5

It’s a bit off-topic, but it’s cute how Suretta asks, “Do you know?” about the rice ball situation that should obviously be known by Japanese people.

63: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:43

It’s not surprising that President Miorine, not being Japanese, might want to show off a little knowledge… perhaps…

64: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:44

Crabs are also caught in the data storm…

65: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:44

Not only buying rice balls, but also buying tea together is impressive, Kanagawa raccoon.

66: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:45

It’s unnecessary to poke fun at that part because it’s trivial and never-ending.
I’m curious about where the characters who don’t seem to be of Asian descent, since Sleta is Alaskan, are from.

68: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:46Yeahx2

>>66Asian
Kanagawa Prefectural residents

67: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:46Yeahx1

There is a udon shop at Anchorage Airport.

89: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)17:10

>>67What were the common stories of international travelers before the Heisei era began?
Alaska Udon

70: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:48

There are two core hospitals in Anchorage.
Transportation to another place is really something exceptional.

71: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:48

Well, the population of Japan is decreasing, so it’s fine.
Not good.

73: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:50

Nika-nee is a spy from Saitama Prefecture.

74: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:50

Japan is not really a small country or a big country; it’s about the size of China.

77: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:51Yeahx1

>>74Wait for me!

78: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:51Yeahx3

>>74Chinese!

75: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:50Yeahx4

It’s frustrating to be told “that’s not what I’m talking about” by someone who can’t even properly look up the population of the United States…

76: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:51Yeahx2

When I hear Anchorage, only FO3 comes to mind.

79: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:51

I only know that in Alaska, I was exploring a hellish dungeon at Site 13.

80: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:54

If Japan weren’t a major power, then the only major powers would be the United States and China, right?

81: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)16:55

>>80Ro, Russia…

85: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)17:00

If it adheres to the main story, Alaska won’t appear at all, so that’s good.

90: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)17:11

Is there a case where we have to transport someone to Seattle even though there is a university hospital?

92: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)17:21

Anchorage
It’s a land I first learned about in Fallout.
