By nature and creation, fantasy and science fiction are complete opposites of each other and were rarely combined. However, over the decades the fantasy and science fiction genres became greater, and together they created a new genre; science fantasy is one of the most famous genres around. It is used within various forms of media that have already been created. They are used in anime, manga, comic books, movies, cartoons, and every other form of media.

Science comes from the term Science Fiction and Fantasy comes from the term Fantasy; Science Fantasy is a category that combines the two genres into one. In other words, Science Fantasy is a genre that combines aspects of Science Fiction with aspects of Fantasy.
