A work that is shot so that it looks like it happened sometime in the years before it was actually filmed, often right around the time that the target audience were kids. It's not a historical or nostalgic piece related to some specific event, person or story written in that time and thus specifically tied down, but it may have a specific date attached just to increase realism or allow for Establishing Shots so you can imagine the mindset of the characters. For instance, the Cold War mindset is used now in works set in that time period even if the story has nothing to do with it; a similar phenomenon has occurred concerning 9/11. It may be tinged with nostalgia, or maybe the props were just easy to pick up at a secondhand store. In recent times, this can be to avoid the parts of modern life that can make the plot unworkable, such as mobile phones and social media like YouTube and Facebook. In some cases, this can be the result of the work in question being a prequel to a work that was set in the present day, a sequel to a work which took place in the present day in which much less time passes between the works in universe compared to real life, such as an Immediate Sequel, an adaptation of a work that was set in the present at the time of its release, or a work with a long production process that was set in the present when work began on it. Vaguely related to, and is an inverse of, 20 Minutes into the Future, but without the Applied Phlebotinum. Compare and contrast Next Sunday A.D.. If anachronisms end up in unchecked, will end up causing Present-Day Past. Depending on how much time passes in-universe during the series' run, a show that starts off in the Present Day may become this. |

Batman: Arkham Asylum: Released in 2009, the game is canonically set in 2001, as it is set eight years after Origins, which in turn is set in 93 if the Easter Egg detailing the re-opening of the titular Asylum is anything to go by. At the time of release the game seemed to take place in the time it was made (The year before The New '10s started) with the exception of the digital bars on cells that shock you if you try to escape. | |

The Midnight Scenes anthology began in 2020. While the settings of some of the games don't have an exact date, it can be inferred that they don't take place in modern day, with The Highway and The Goodbye Note having a Deliberately Monochrome aesthetic, The Nanny taking place in 1986 and From The Woodstaking place ten years after in 1996. The only game that could possibly take place in modern day is A Safe Place. | |

The October Child was published in 1976 and follows the first four years of the autistic boy Carl's life. When Carl is three, Adrienne asks Douglas to take her to a movie that from her description sounds like The Poseidon Adventure. That movie was released in Australia in 1973, which means that Carl was probably born in 1969. | |

Silver Linings Playbook was released in 2012, but set in 2008. A subplot concerns the Philadelphia Eagles season that year, as Pat Sr. is a big Eagles fan and frequently bets at their games, with a climactic point being at the playoffs between the Eagles and the Dallas Cowboys, a Foregone Conclusion to anyone with a cursory knowledge of football. | |

Digimon The original pilot, which sets up the backstory of Digimon Adventure, takes place in 1995, while it aired in 1999. In Adventure proper, the arc set in the human world, which took place from August 1 to August 3, 1999, aired from September to December 1999. The latest date of August 3 also serves as the date that the human world scenes in the final two episodes, which aired in March 2000, took place. Digimon Adventure tri. is set in 2005, a few years after Digimon Adventure 02 with the main characters now in high school, despite airing 10 years later in 2015 and finishing up in 2018. The follow up movie Digimon Adventure: Last Evolution Kizuna takes place in 2010, but was released in 2020, to match with the characters now being college aged. Likewise, the next film Digimon Adventure 02: The Beginning, released in 2023, takes place in 2012, that year being significant as one of the character's birthdates being a Leap Day is a plot point. |

Likewise, Umineko, released starting in 2007, is largely split between a series of murders in October 1986 and its aftermath in 1998. Both can be pretty anachronistic when it suits them, mostly when the author wants to make some reference to some mid-2000s moe trope or another. | |

Once every few seasons, The Simpsons does an episode of this. "The Way We Was" (1991), from the turn to The '70s, which featured Homer as a teenager, trying to date Marge. It featured bell-bottom pants and a Volkswagen Mini Bus. "I Married Marge" (also 1991) is set in 1980, showing Homer and Marge seeing The Empire Strikes Back in theaters and Homer inadvertently giving away the film's (then-)big plot twist as they're leaving. "Lisa's First Word" (1992), which features Homer and Marge as a young couple with baby Bart, is set in 1983-84: Marge has a throw-away line about the final episode of M.A.S.H., and later in the episode there are numerous references to the 1984 Olympics. "That 90s Show" (2008) is set in The '90s and was a 30-minute Affectionate Parody of that decade. It had Homer and Marge in college, with Homer in a generic Garage Band and Marge with a '90s Jennifer Aniston haircut. Of course, being a Long Runner operating on Comic-Book Time, The Simpsons features Negative Continuity when it comes to deciding just which era is currently Twenty Minutes In The Past. If one considers a suitable timespan for this trope to be the last two or three decades, say, then a lot of that period by now falls within the period the show has actually been running in Real Life (the latter is lampshaded in "Lisa's Sax" when Homer says that in 1990, "Tracey Ullman was entertaining America with songs, sketches, and crudely drawn filler material"). The third act of "The Wettest Stories Ever Told" is a retelling of The Poseidon Adventure set in the not-so-distant past. |

Titanic: While the film is mostly a period piece set during the titular ship's ill fated maiden voyage in 1912, the present day framing device of Old Rose telling the story takes place in 1996, a year before the film's release at the end of 1997. | |

Modern Villainess was published in 2020, but the main plot is set in the mid-2000s. Some Alternate History is involved, but solely used to justify the continued existence of the Kazoku class.note World War II effectively ended in a draw—Germany won at Normandy, but Japan still couldn't stomach the nuclear bombs. As a result, Japan was able to wrestle out a conditional surrender, which limited US influence on the country to foreign and defense matters. | |

Back to the Future: The framing scenes are in 1985 when the movie was filmed, while the core story takes place in 1955. Back to the Future Part II and Back to the Future Part III, which were both filmed in 1989, with the former releasing that year and the latter in 1990, continue to set the present day in 1985, as the story begins promptly when the first movie ends. | |

When They Cry: Higurashi: When They Cry was first released in the early 2000s, but takes place in 1983. It's unlikely the series would work if the characters had modern day conveniences such as internet access or easily accessible cellphones. In fact, at the start of the second season of the Animated Adaptation, we see a now adult Rena in 2006. She is now quite melancholy due to being the Sole Survivor of her entire town after an incident in 1983. Likewise, Umineko, released starting in 2007, is largely split between a series of murders in October 1986 and its aftermath in 1998. Both can be pretty anachronistic when it suits them, mostly when the author wants to make some reference to some mid-2000s moe trope or another. |

Friday the 13th (1980), which itself began with a flashback to the initial murders in 1958, is indicated by the death date on Pamela Voorhees' grave in Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter to take place in 1979, a year before it was released. Interestingly though, the titular Friday the 13th is said to be June 13, which was a Friday in 1980, but a Wednesday in 1979. The first sequel Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981) has a prologue set two months after the first film before a five year Time Skip. | |

Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis was released in 2001 and set in 1985, with an epilogue of 1991. Its spiritual sequel, ARMA: Armed Assault, was set in mid-2006 and was released in late 2006. Later ARMA games go progressively further into the future instead, though with the scenario editor allowing to set custom campaigns as far back as 1980, depending on the game. | |

Rocky: Rocky was filmed and released in 1976, but the film begins in November 1975 and ends on New Year’s Day 1976. Rocky II, released in 1979, takes place from New Year’s Day to Thanksgiving 1976, due to picking up directly after Rocky. Creed III, released in 2023, takes place in 2020, which also retroactively moves the events of Creed (2015) and Creed II (2018) back a few years from when they were released. |

Shenmue was set in 1986-1987 and released in 1999, but you wouldn't notice it at first glance — especially since the main character has a Sega Saturn, which was released in '96. However, anachronistic issues like the above are only true for the first game. The second game is mostly set in the Kowloon Walled City, which had been torn down for five years by 1999. |

Five Nights at Freddy's 2 was released in 2014 with the trailers, and in-game itself, telling you of a Grand Reopening of the restaurant! Turns out it takes place during 1987, so it's actually a prequel to the previous game, which is itself (most likely) set in 1993. Five Nights at Freddy's 4 and Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location are more ambiguous about when they’re set, but they likely both take place in either the The '80s or The '90s as well. | |

ANNIE: Last Hope is set in the 1990s, despite being released in 2020. There are posters for the then-new movies, Pulp Fiction and The Professional, pasted all over the subway walls and shopping malls, and several video arcades can be visited. | |

In the Grand Theft Auto series, most of the games in the "Grand Theft Auto III era" (i.e. the ones released during The Sixth Generation of Console Video Games) were explicitly set in the past: Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas are explicit period pieces, respectively released in 2002 and 2004, and set in 1986 and 1992. Since the setting of San Andreas is an expy of early-90s California, the final missions feature the GTA universe's counterpart to the 1992 LA riots. Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories are focused more on being direct prequels to Vice City and III while still happening to be period pieces, respectively released in 2005 and 2006, and set in 1998 and 1984. The little-known Grand Theft Auto Advance is one of these as well, launching concurrently with San Andreas in 2004 and set in 2000 as a more direct (though also less-connected) prequel to III. Even GTAIII itself is this, more or less unintentionally. It's set around autumn of 2001, about the same as its October '01 release, but ostensibly takes place somewhere between August to the first week of that September, because very little was changed in response to the World Trade Center attacks. Likewise, in the "HD era" games, Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned and Grand Theft Auto IV: The Ballad of Gay Tony were released in 2009 but set in late 2008, and the multiplayer content for Grand Theft Auto V was released from 2014 onward, but takes place in early 2013. GTAV also has an opening mission set in 2004, a full decade prior to its release and the setting of the rest of the game. |

Batman: Arkham Asylum, released in 2009 and mostly looking like it, is canonically set in 2001, as it is set eight years after Batman: Arkham Origins, which in turn is set in 93 if the Easter Egg detailing the re-opening of the titular Asylum is anything to go by. | |

Resident Evil: After Resident Evil and Resident Evil 2, which were set Next Sunday A.D. (set in respectively July and September of 1998, released respectively in March 1996 and January 1998), Resident Evil 3: Nemesis and Resident Evil – Code: Veronica went for this; both are still set around the same time frame (September and then December 1998) but released afterwards (September 1999 and February 2000). Resident Evil 4 jumped the timeline up to late 2004, which still fell into this because it came out in early 2005, before later main numbered entries would go for being set later in the same year of or in the year after their release (save for Resident Evil Village, which released in May 2021 and is set that February). The Umbrella Chronicles and The Darkside Chronicles, beyond chapters that are light gun-style retellings of prior games, center around new events in 2002 and 2003, but were released respectively in 2007 and 2009. Resident Evil: Revelations takes place in 2005, with flashbacks to 2004, and was released in 2012. Revelations 2 follows suit, set in 2011 and releasing in 2015. |

Higurashi: When They Cry was first released in the early 2000s, but takes place in 1983. It's unlikely the series would work if the characters had modern day conveniences such as internet access or easily accessible cellphones. In fact, at the start of the second season of the Animated Adaptation, we see a now adult Rena in 2006. She is now quite melancholy due to being the Sole Survivor of her entire town after an incident in 1983. | |

A few of the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies wound up as this to fit timelines to others that are set the same year of release. Thor (2011) is stated to have occurred the same week as the previous year's Iron Man 2. Iron Man 3 (2013) is set in the previous year, ending on Christmas. 2017 had Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 happening a few months after its 2014 predecessor, and Spider-Man: Homecoming (glaringly wrong title card apart) some months after the previous year's Captain America: Civil War. Black Widow (2021) is supposed to happen between Civil War and 2019's Avengers: Infinity War. And in the case of a Period Piece, Captain Marvel (2019) is set in 1995. | |

The Many Half-Lived Lives of Sam Sylvester, published in 2022, has the protagonists investigating a thirty-year-old murder. That murder occurred in the school year of 1988 and 1989, so the book must take place in 2018 and 2019. | |

Harry Potter is set between 1991-1998 or so while the books were released 1997-2007 and the films 2001-2011. Both the books and movies mostly avoid exact years, which, combined with the general lack of modern technology in the Wizarding world, means they could easily be set anywhere from around the 80s to the 2000s, although the films definitely look like they are set in the aughts (despite officially taking place in the nineties as well). | |

While the Max and Ruby series is still ongoing since 1979, the setting would sometimes be a mix between the 1940s and late 70s since the characters still use old fashioned radio to listen to music and a radio show. But the characters are never seen owning any televsions. Which is odd since in one of the later books and a couple episodes of the animated series would sometimes show a character owning a handheld video game called the Game Bunny. | |

Superman: The Pre-Crisis Superboy stories published in Superboy (1949) and Adventure Comics, via its use of a floating timeline, saw the Boy of Steel's era set in the relative past. As such, an early 1970s story saw Lana Lang interested in 50s hula hoops, while the Superboy 1980 book saw Clark meeting President John F. Kennedy. | |

Recess: While made in, and set during the 90s, when the 2000s rolled around, the show stuck around in the 90s. This is firmly established in Recess: School's Out, where the villain talks about how he was holding revenge for thirty years since 1968 (the movie was released in February 2001, but takes place in June 1998). | |

Under Suspicion (Series): The first seven books were published between 2014 and 2020, but the series begins slightly earlier in 2013. The books also take place over a shorter time period of two years (give or take a few months), so the series as a whole qualifies, being published from the early 2010s to the early 2020s, but being set from 2013 to 2015. I've Got You Under My Skin was published in 2014, though it's retroactively established in the sequel, The Cinderella Murder, that it takes place a year earlier in 2013. In The Cinderella Murder it's stated that it's been nearly a year since the episode covering the Graduation Gala murder aired and it's also established that the Cinderella Murder occurred twenty years ago in 1994, firmly placing the second novel in 2014. All Dressed in White was published in 2015, though based on the timeline it's set a year earlier in 2014, a few months after The Cinderella Murder; it's mentioned in both this novel and the preceding one that it's been nearly a year since Under Suspicion aired its first episode and just over five years since Laurie's husband was killed; the latter occurred around the same time Amanda – the missing bride central to All Dressed in White - disappeared. The Sleeping Beauty Killer was published in 2016 and is set in 2014, a month after the epilogue of All Dressed in White (two months after the main events of the novel). Every Breath You Take was published in 2017 and is set two years earlier in 2015, about two months after the events of The Sleeping Beauty Killer (which was set in late 2014). You Don't Own Me was published in 2018 and is set three years earlier in 2015. Piece of My Heart was completed and published in 2020, while being set in July 2015, five years earlier. |

The Girls was published in 2016 but seems to be set sometime in the early years of the 21st century. Evie is described as middle-aged rather than old (she was 14 in her 1969 flashbacks, so 61 in 2016, 45 at the turn of the century), and an off-hand reference to a San Francisco woman getting killed by pit bulls is an apparent allusion to the 2001 death of Diane Whipple. | |

Telltale's The Walking Dead begins at the onset of the zombie apocalypse, which would coincide with the beginning of the comic book. This would mean that the game, first released in 2012/13, is initially set in 2003. Using the protagonist Clementine's age to follow the same timeline, that would mean that the game's second season (released in 2013/14) is set circa 2005, the third season (released in 2016/17) is set around 2007, and the fourth and final season (released in 2018/19) is set somewhere in the vicinity of 2010-2011. | |

House of the Dead: House of the Dead 4 dialed back on the ridiculous Time Skip III pulled and is set in 2003... two years before its release date of 2005. The House of the Dead: OVERKILL, released in 2009, goes even further back as an explicit prequel to the rest of the series, being set in 1991. House of the Dead: Scarlet Dawn finally came out in 2018, but is an interquel set in 2006, between 4 and III. |

Stranger Things famously uses this trope to lean heavily on 1980s nostalgia and pop culture. Aimed in large part at people who would have been the same age as the early-teen protagonists at the time, the show was first released in 2016, with the first four seasons spanning the time period Fall 1983-Spring 1986. | |

Doctor Who: While the 1968-1989 run of the show was adamant on not setting historical stories too soon to their airdates (for example, 1989's "The Curse of Fenric" had its setting moved from The '70s to World War II), several ones in both the Classic and Revival Series are set anywhere from 20 or so years ago to just six: The past portions of "Mawdryn Undead" are set in 1977 (making this the first Doctor Who story to feature a "historical" setting from when the show itself was airing), while the present portions are set contemporaneously to the serial's 1983 airdate. The decision to do this directly caused the massive Continuity Snarl that is the UNIT Dating Controversy, as earlier UNIT stories were instead set 20 Minutes into the Future. "Delta and the Bannermen" aired in 1987 and is set in 1959. "Remembrance of the Daleks" aired in 1988 and takes place just after the events of "An Unearthly Child" in 1963. "Father's Day" first aired in 2005 and is set in 1987. |

The fifth game in the Delta Force series, Black Hawk Down, eschews the normal near-future setting in favor of a period piece set in 1993 during and around the Battle of Mogadishu. However, some of the missions take place a decade later in 2003, when the game itself was released, with the missions in the expansion Team Sabre following suit, set and released in 2004. | |

Halloween: Halloween (1978) begins by showing Michael's first kill in 1963 before skipping ahead 15 years to the present day. Halloween II (1981) takes place in 1978 due to directly picking up where the last movie left off. Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers (1989) begins immediately after the end of Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers in 1988 before skipping ahead a year. Halloween: Resurrection (2002) begins in 2001, three years after the events of Halloween H20: Twenty Years Later, which itself was explicitly twenty years after the original film, before skipping ahead a year. Halloween Kills (2021), in a similar situation to Halloween II, takes place in 2018 due to picking up right after Halloween (2018). Halloween Ends (2022) begins with a prologue in 2019, before skipping ahead three years. |

Family Guy. In "Meet the Quagmires", Peter and Brian travel back in time so Peter can relive life as an 18-year old. American Dad!'s first Christmas Episode was similar, where Stan travels back in time to the 70s to stop Jane Fonda from (somehow) ruining Christmas. It ends with Stan traveling back in time again, this time to the '80s, where he has to undo all the damage caused by his first trip by shooting Ronald Reagan. |

Ayashimon is set in 1992, about thirty years before it was written. Mostly this shows in the manga Maruo reads being from the late 80s and early 90s. | |

American Psycho: Set in the late 1980s, released in 2000. The original novel was published in 1991, but satirized the '80s so specifically (thanks to it being in very recent memory at the time) that the filmmakers decided to make the movie a Period Piece once it was Saved from Development Hell. | |

Thank You for Smoking: While the film was released in 2005, it is set in the late 1990s, before the Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement (1998) which closes the film. The novel on which it was based was released in 1994. | |

The five years in which Breaking Bad was airing all take place exactly two years in-universe (2008-2010 in-show for 2008-2013 in reality), making the later seasons this trope. | |

Tales from the Loop: Released in 2017, with a setting that is set in The '80s (in an explicit homage to Kid Hero media from that [or that references said] era, from The Goonies to Stranger Things). A future expansion book, "Things From The Flood", provides information for the same setting in The '90s. | |

Despite being set in the eponymous date and immediately after, later works in the 1632 series have started to use this since the American town of Grantville was transported to that time from the year 2000 - so writers must be careful to give their computers only the capabilities and programs they would have had then, for instance. | |

EarthBound Beginnings: The original Famicom version came out in 1989 and specifically dates the events of the game to 1988. The English localization swaps this out for an Ambiguous Time Period, choosing to instead set the game sometime in the '80s without giving an exact year. | |

Orphan: First Kill: The movie is set in 2007 despite being released in 2022. Justified due to its prequel status, with the first one also taking place in then-present 2007 albeit at a much later date.note The first movie was released in 2009, but principal photography took place at an earlier date on November of 2007. | |
