Why is Total Dramarama on here? And we should add Durarara to the anime section. I'm aware that the "Urban" part doesn't have to refer to a city, but; come on, it fits this trope to a T :)

There's a few things here I'm not sure about, but the one that leaps out, at least to me, is the Nomes Trilogy, which contains exactly no magic whatsoever, since the Nomes are aliens.

Late response, but I feel that the Nomes Trilogy is written as straight comedic Urban Fantasy, with the Genre Shift to science fiction coming in fairly late (to my recollection). Even then, the SF elements mostly serve to explain the Nomes' origin and provide a MacGuffin for the final book; the actual plot is still all about a Wainscot Society of tiny humanoids questing through a dangerous human world.

Why not put the Highlander movies, the anime movie, and the tv show in it? They’re all about immortals, including a Scotsman, who get into sword fights from ancient times to even the 2100s, beheading one another.

Bewitched and I Dream of Gennie were both tv series that had fantasy beings in modern settings. Why isn't this in Live-Action TV?

I might be wrong, but most of stuff listed here, at least in video games section, aren't Urban Fantasy o-o Correct me if I'm wrong.

Can you elaborate on that? I'm not familiar with the show, but it doesn't have much of a space theme.
