  Though it is not commonly acknowledged, The Last Unicorn is not a typical fantasy work. Actually, it quite often goes beyond the norm of the genre in its peculiar attempt of description of the impossible and maintained attitude of denial of the traditional value system generally adopted in usual romance. Against those subversive tendencies, the main subject of the work “magic” has to be reconsidered as an attempt for speculative creation in view of metaphysical reassessment of fictionality. The systematic nature of magic that “comes and goes” from and to outer region other than personal domain and also at the same time improvised by correspondence between the subjects of consciousness must be considered in comparison with cosmological theories that have deep bearing with consciousness such as David Bohm’s implicate order and Jack Sarfatti’s information theory of retro causality, arguing the nature of its notion implying the existence of cosmic evolutionary law in a way similar to ones such as clinamen, entropy and providence. These philosophical motives were developed through verbal description in the original novel that must be fundamentally impossible to be reflected in visual expression. But surprisingly, superb transfigured expressions were attained in the anime, in some quite different scenes from the original novel but also in a way very similar in their deepest layers. The fact demands reconsideration of the meaning of identity between original work and alternative creations as well as between various kinds of existence, phenomenon and personality, revealed through many phases to be perceived or cognized. The miraculous success of the anime expression seems to produce a vigorous instance of the working of synchronicity, the ability of consciousness to be able to intuit the primordial state of oneness where discretion of space and time does not exist any more. Actual process of the making of the anime interestingly seems to testify the deepest subject of the original work introduced through the motif of magic. This data book is conceived as an attempt to delve into the concept of synchronicity through various data such as storyboard, scenario and synopsis that must testify the process of the creation of the masterpiece anime.
