A lot of anime set in the distant future doesn't specify the calendar year, so
it ends up with something like _" Before the..."_ or _" XX years ago"_.

Some of the future-themed anime such as _Gundam_ and _Dragon Ball_ have their
own calendar era which is Universal Century and Age respectively. We can't
convert or compare the alternate calendar of the Anime to our real-life
Gregorian calendar, so it might be helpful if the Anime has a similar calendar
to ours.

According to my research, _Legend of the Galactic Heroes_ is the anime that is
set in the most distant future as of today, in AD 2801.

I got 3 records

  1. _Top Wo Nerae_ series; _Gunbuster_ has started in 2019 but in the end, our characters jumped 12000 years later, which is mind-blowing.

  2. _Eureka Seven_ ; the plot goes on an unfamiliar planet but the environment can fool anybody. This anime's story goes on 10000 years ahead of our time.

  3. _Uchuu Senkan Yamato_ ; this one is relatively close; it starts at 2199. but again there is a mysterious place where time flows 10 times faster than usual.
