== Anime and Manga ==

* ''[[Scrapped Princess]]'' blends fantasy and sci-fi elements, with a world seemingly in [[Medieval Stasis]] where magic and [[Tron Lines]] abound. Then adds [[Ruins of the Modern Age]] {{spoiler|and the Skid into the mix and the existences of Xeferis, and Natalie, who're [[Empathic Weapon|dragoons]] that link with their masters. And the Peacemakers, who are a powerful race of alien overlords who can enslave the minds of all who gaze upon them. To say nothing of their true power!}}

* ''[[El Hazard]]'' is another series that blends science fiction with fantasy, featuring a story centered around [[Stable Time Loop|a time paradox]] set in a land rife with magic and supernatural wonder. Yet, there are remnants of ancient technology as well, such as the Stairway to the Sky, the Eye of God, and the demon dolls.

Yet, there are remnants of ancient technology as well, such as the Stairway to the Sky, the Eye of God, and the demon dolls.

* ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' seemed to be straight [[Urban Fantasy]] at first, what with the [[Vancian Magic|mages]] and [[golem]]s and [[Our Vampires Are Different|vampires]]. Then [[Ridiculously-Human Robots|Chachamaru]] came in. And the [[Mad Scientist]]s. And the [[Magitek|Magic Internet]]. And the magical [[Playful Hacker]] vs [[The Cracker]] face-off in cyberspace. And the [[Mars|Martian]] [[Time Travel]]ler from the future with [[Humongous Mecha]] and [[Mecha-Mooks]]. And most recently, it seems that {{spoiler|the magic world is actually on Mars.}} It ends up as sci-fi and fantasy in a blender.

* In ''[[Lyrical Nanoha|Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'', the Space-Time Administration Bureau that the main characters work for is like ''[[Star Trek]]'''s Federation, except where ''Star Trek'' would have a piece of [[Techno Babble]] to power its futuristic devices, ''Nanoha'' just uses magic. Magical [[Energy Weapon]]s, magical [[Faster-Than-Light Travel]], magical [[Hollywood Cyborg|cyborgs]], magical artificial intelligence with Windows-esque error codes...

* ''[[Outlaw Star]]'' has spaceships and aliens, but the [[Space Pirates]] use Chi Magic and the most popular [[Pleasure Planet|resort world]] in the galaxy was originally a [[Mana]] mine. The main character's signature weapon is a fireball-flinging [[Magitek]] pistol.

* ''[[Urusei Yatsura]]'' technically may be a sci-fi, but essentially all of the aliens are some form of [[Youkai]] from [[Japanese Mythology]]: Lum is from the Planet Oni, Yuki the yuki-onna is from Neptune, etc. In practice, anything from Science Fiction or Fantasy can happen from [[Time Travel]] to [[Onmyodo]] exorcisms, [[Rule of Funny|so long as it's funny]].

* ''[[Wolf's ~~Rain|Wolfs~~ Rain]]''. Technology meets mythology.

* ''[[Dragonball Z]]'' starts out as a new rendition of a fantastic Chinese folk tale, and the titular [[MacGuffin]]s are blatantly magical—but then we get alien invaders, space travel, and androids and it all gets weirder from there.

** The very first chapter of ''[[Dragon Ball]]'' has a motorbike-in-a-bottle.

* ''[[Undocumented Features]]'', a [[Mega Crossover]], fuses many [[Fantasy]] and [[Science Fiction]] sources into a single narrative. For example, a [[Norse Mythology|Norse God]] used ''[[Dungeons & Dragons|~~dimension~~ ~~door~~]]'' to get his party onto ~~the~~ [[Star Trek|Klingon]] [[Space Pirates]]' ship, whereupon their sorceress summoned a protective [[Petal Power|wall of roses]] as they hacked the computer to gain control of the ship—all while a [[Space Battle]] was going between the two ships outside.

* ''[[The Conversion Bureau]]'', is set [[Twenty Minutes in The Future]] with A.I. handling most menial tasks, holograms everywhere, cybernetic upgrades readily available, and the early phases of space colonization. With the emergence of Equestria there are also spell casting unicorns, weather controlling pegasi, monsters from across many mythologies, and two [[Physical Gods]] of the moon and sun.

* ''[[Glorious Shotgun Princess]]'' is a crossover between the (~~comparitively~~) hard [[Sci Fi]] of [[Mass Effect]], and the clearly fantasy (and [[Everybody Was Kung-Fu Fighting|Kung-Fu]]) world of [[Exalted]].
