Nah, a lot of the anime are having their own magic systems - chakra, nen, stands, pacts. It’s common to sometimes make mundane look like supernatural (Demon Slayer), but generally if someone teleports most anime would qualify that as a magic use.

Yeah, but there’s also plenty of magical martial arts right, like hamon? DnD wizards have a particular flavour of spellcasting (int based, using a spellbook and weird spell components) which doesn’t really fit well with stands or nen, right? Like, performing magic through sheer martial prowess rather than study and arcane research feels like something that DnD doesn’t have much support for.

3.5’s Tome of Battle, released at the end of the version’s life had three Martial Casters that hit all the anime highlights.

The book was also notorious for being broken as hell, but I really wish they’d have taken what worked from it instead of just dumping the whole idea after 4.0 was a fan flop.

It had plenty of support for that in 4e. These days only monks get to be magically martial
