What kind of anime genre would this fall under?

I am such a huge anime fan. But there is one type of genre I like the most but I don't know how to explain it but I'll try my best.

A few anime series I like are Soul Eater and Sword Art Online. Maybe because it's held in a different world is probably the best way I can explain this. It's fantasy and magic kinda.

Here is where it gets weird. I don't like anime that has to do with real life stuff. Like police officers and guns even though Angel Beats is literally my favorite anime but it has guns but somehow it's different and I don't know why. I also like Deadman Wonderland even though it has a prison which is like real life stuff but it is also magic like because he can use his blood as a weapon.

Any "magic" anime can be magic but at the same time it can also be real life stuff. Like DeathNote. It has police officers and real life stuff but at the same time it isn't because he has a book that he can control the people around him.

I just can't figure out how to describe the type of anime that I like. I like to imagine myself in a different world like Soul Eater or as pathetic as this is, Pokemon. Even though Pokemon has Officer Jenny who is a police officer. Lol I just can't distinguish the difference. I want to find more anime series to watch but I don't want it to relate to real life. I hope this explains what I trying to get at. Thank you for the answers.

    Most of the anime you've described are shounen type anime aimed for mainly teenagers and none of them come under one genre, they all come in multiple genres. For example, the genres of sword art online are action, romance, game, fantasy and adventure while deadman wonderlands are action, horror and sci-fi.

    I think the Genres you are looking for is action with either fantasy, superpowers,sci- fi or supernatural

    Also, Deathnote and Deadman wonderland are not magic animes, they are supernatural animes.

    There isnt one genre that perfectly fits to your description but I think supernatural is the closest to what you seek.I think you might like something like Noragami,I dont personally like it but it fits perfectly to what you want.
