    One of the easiest ways to indicate that a major, Earth-changing event has taken place is to show a city half-sunken, with buildings at unsafe and possibly nausea-inducing cants. This is sometimes the result of a Green Aesop about Hollywood Global Warming, but more often it's just used to show that something is not right in the story's setting.

    Given the natural fears that arise in an island nation, this happens to Japan a lot.

    Examples of Sunken City include:

    Anime and Manga

    Film

    Literature

    • The 1987 novel Drowning Towers (or The Sea and the Summer) by George Turner describes a future in which Melbourne was partially submerged in water. As the tops of sky scrapers are above the water level, they are still inhabited by the cities' poorer classes.
