==Parallel Universe==
==Parallel Universe==
'''Parallel universe''' or '''alternative reality''' is a self-contained separate reality coexisting with our own. Because "alternative reality" sometimes implies that the reality is a variant of our own, like for example a mirror world, we'll use the term "Parallel Universe" which is more general, without any connotations implying a relationship (or lack thereof) with our own universe (meaning a fantasy world can just as well have an alternative reality, doesn't need to be our reality). To put it more simply, if more than 1 universe/reality is present in the anime, this category is valid.

==Virtual Reality==
==Virtual Reality==
A '''virtual reality''' is a place where the character interacts with a computer(or some other device)-simulated environment, be it real or imagined. The condition for a virtual reality to exist is the existence of real world for the character. In some cases, a virtual reality where characters can get harmed physically is depicted.

The anime will fit this category if some or all of the action '''takes place on another planet''' which is supposedly in the same universe as Earth, not a complete fantasy world; usually there has to be some concept of space travel. The Latin name for Earth - Terra, would also pass the condition of being in the same universe as Earth. Basically, even mentioning of Earth existing or having existed would be enough. Although Moon is a moon, it also qualifies as Other Planet.

Beam me up, Scotty! Space stations (think Death Star) also count. Basically, if the setting '''takes place onboard a spaceship''' in space, this category is applicable. If the spaceship lies on a planet and never actually gets into space, then you should not add this category.
