{{ | In a traditional Fantasy anime with medieval setting, the lack of technology is "compensated" by the introduction of the supernatural, i.e. spell-casting, magic wands, and magic circles. In another setting long-lost technology may be so advanced that it is mistaken for magic (''Arthur C. Clarke: "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic"'') as seen in ''Scrapped Princess'' (see: {{link|animelist|tagid|2562|science and magic coexist}}). | ||
{{eyecatchLight|1|Comment|It has been said before that Genre::Fantasy::Magic is redundant, since fantasy already implies presence of magic. That's true, but it might still be of some use to keep that category, to categorize anime in which magic plays central role -- such as Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto.}} | {{eyecatchLight|1|Comment|It has been said before that Genre::Fantasy::Magic is redundant, since fantasy already implies presence of magic.
