I'd aim for one of the rural areas in Discworld.

Relatively calm life, as long as you keep the local witch on your side.

    Lord of the Rings, but fuck Gondor... I'll be chilling in the Shire living like fucking king.

    Same, but I'd probably go with Bree. I'm a bit tall for the Shire. Also, Bree seems a little more lively and they have a thing called 'pints.'

    Everything goes dark. You open your eyes. You are standing on a bridge. A warm salty breeze is in the air. Birds fly over. A fish splashes in the water. You could go anywhere, do anything, a whole new world is open to you. But you stay put for now and enjoy this peaceful bridge.

    A child runs by. She avoids making eye contact and runs behind you. Then another, and another. “Kids these days”, you think, “always in a hurry.” Another child approaches, before he can slip by, you turn, and make eye contact. It’s on!

    You each bring out your Pokémon and oh god, oh god, oh god, it’s god. The unfathomable, immortal deity who shaped the entire world, and it is taking orders from a child! and you have… a magikarp.

    Before you can even speak, a blast of energy strikes your fish, killing it instantly. You are knocked back, stunned. The child frisks your pockets and takes your wallet. Everything goes dark. You open your eyes. You are standing on a bridge. A warm salty breeze is in the air…

    Not something from an anime because by season 4, there's like a dozen people that can destroy a small town with one move. By season 8, they're doing planets.

    In the Harry Potter universe non magical people live blissfully unaware of magical people and are pretty much left to our own affairs with little to no intervention or malicious actions by the magical, the magical even setup an entire ministry dedicated to maintaining that status quo. It's probably the most boring and unimaginative choice but it sounds like the one in which I could live with the greatest ease and safety.

    Hard disagree. Muggles are kept shrouded in ignorance, but they're still fairly routinely terrorized by dark wizards and magical beasts. The Ministry makes an effort, but fails when the going gets tough.

    Really? I feel like Scadrial is the better choice here. Though I haven’t finished the Lost Metal yet, so something crazy may happen at the end that makes me reconsider this lol.

    Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magicka Obscura

    I’d get to laugh at every single wizard trying to board a train without it blowing up due to magic fucking up technology before I get screwed over by one of the soulless, greedy, vapid, mouth-breathing creatures known as gnomes.

    Harry Potter. I'd be a normal muggle, blissfully ignorant of all the drama going on :)

    But there's Q, the traveller, Wesley, that old guy who wiped out an entire species with a thought... Pretty magical stuff there...

    Ooo, if you aren't magical when you get there. There is an infinite number of things that will make you. But more importantly I want to live in a place that silly.

    Azeroth, World of Warcraft. Rogues and warriors kick ass, and are still very powerful, even without magic.

    Star wars. Apparently anyone can learn to be a magic user jedi if they try hard enough. But even if that isn't an option, spaceships are also fun.

    What counts as "magic", exactly? E.g. the world of BLEACH has 3 wholy distinct sources of supernatural power, only one of which looks like traditional, wizards & witches magic. Is vampirism magic? What about superstrength in Norse mythology?
