· speculative fictionSpeculative fiction is an umbrella genre encompassing fiction with certain elements that do not exist in the real world, often in the context of supernatural, futuristic or other imaginative themes. This includes, but is not limited to, science fiction, fantasy, superhero fiction, horror, utopian and dystopian fiction, fairytale fantasy, supernatural fiction, as well as combinations thereof.
· · bendy lasersLasers — of all things — bend at strange angles, are profusely in effect in this anime. Usually seen in a space setting, as part of a weapon system on spaceships.
· · daikaijuuLiterally translating to giant monster, daikaiju is an element found often in Japanese entertainment. Although usually for the science fiction genre it is also often used in horror, fantasy, mecha, and to a lesser extent comedy. Any monster that towers over a house technically qualifies as a daikaiju. Some anime, usually mecha, will go as far as calling their daikaiju with a specific title.
· · fantasyImaginative or fanciful work, especially one dealing with supernatural elements and themes.
· · giant insectsno description set
· · horrorThe horror cinematic genre is characterized by the attempt to make the viewer experience dread, fear, terror, or horror. Often their plots involve the intrusion of an evil force, event or personage, sometimes of supernatural origin, on the mundane world and the consequences thereof.

· · inverted gravityThe world has more to offer than your usual type of gravity you are used to from your daily life on earth. In this world there are actually two worlds, with opposite gravities. Alternatively, gravity only works the opposite way, sending things away from large masses.
· · out-of-place artefactOut-of-place artefact (OOPArt) is a term coined by American naturalist and crypto-zoologist Ivan T. Sanderson for an object of historical, archaeological, or palaeontological interest found in a very unusual or seemingly impossible context that could challenge conventional historical chronology.
· · science fictionScience fiction stories usually focus on how situations could be different in the future when we are more technologically advanced; due to either our own achievements or having met with other civilizations whom we have learned from.
· · the lives of mini-peopleThe show features the lives of mini-people, characters much shorter than would be natural, and how they interact with a world of things much bigger than themselves. This is not about characters merely being short, but about living in a world of things that, from their perspective, are gigantic.
· · time travelIn time travel anime characters are transported through time either figuratively or literally to find themselves either in the past or the future
