I'm watching an anime called Michiko to Hatchin, wich was inpired by latin american countries, especially Brasil.

And...Its...Badass *A*



( from winkipedia btw...)

"Michiko e Hatchin (ミチコとハッチン, Michiko to Hatchin, Portuguese and Japanese for "Michiko and Hatchin") is a Japanese animated television series. The show is produced by studio Manglobe and directed by Sayo Yamamoto, her first directorial work. The two eponymous starring roles are portrayed by noted Japanese film actresses Yōko Maki (The Grudge) and Suzuka Ohgo (Memoirs of a Geisha) respectively. The story takes place in a fictional country with cultural traces from Latin American countries, mostly from Brazil. The title's Michiko is a free-willed "sexy diva" who escapes from a supposedly inescapable prison fortress, while Hatchin is a girl fleeing her abusive foster family. The two join forces on an improbable escape to freedom. The music is composed by the Brazilian musician Alexandre Kassin and produced by Shinichirō Watanabe."

If you still dont trust much about the producers research, think twice, because they've managed to travel for 5 brazilians cities, hunting references to the background/characters design.

I think they did a great job...and also look at the studio name...Monglobe ( same that made Samurai Champloo and Ergo Proxy ). Wich means, they know what they are doing...

here you can see wich cities they traveled to:
