Line 58:
* ''[[Da Capo]]''. The main character is a mage who jumps into people's dreams, there's also a magical cherry tree that grants wishes, a reality altering witch, mind readers, cats becoming human, a human sized cat that the girls see around town, and ever blooming cherry trees, and although it's a bit odd, nobody ever questions their reality.
* ''[[Mawaru Penguindrum]]'', where the main characters' souls are represented by penguins only they can see, aphrodisiac potions brewed from frogs really work, and key scenes take place on a strange, alternate version of the Tokyo subway all pass without much comment. For extra credit, the show makes several references to other examples of Magic Realism, such as ''[[Night on the Galactic Railroad]]'' and [[Haruki Murakami]]'s works.
* For what seems to be a [[Slice of Life]] series about cute high school girls riding motorcycles, ''[[Bakuon!!]]'' has a strange undercurrent of Magic Realism -- Hane learns to drive on a talking motorcycle that coaches her through her lessons (and which later has a conversation with one of the driving school's technicians), many of the staff at the school appear to be animate crash test dummies and marionettes, and Hane meets someone who just might be Jesus on the road to Aomori, who gives her the [[Holy Grail]] because she helped him with a breakdown. Among other things.
