Battles free of political and social ramifications

Ever notice how in Magical Girl or other hidden-power struggle anime there rarely seems to be any political ramifications to the battles? There can be a huge massive explosion in the Sea of Japan, or a mile wide magic circle can appear in the sky over a major city, and what happens?

Well the battle at hand happens. After that? Maybe a, "Hey, did you see that flash of light last night?" But rarely an article on the front page of the next day's paper headlined, "U.N. Security Council Demands Answers" or "Was It Nuclear? Scientists Say No Radiation."

The men in black must work massive overtime hours in magical girl universes.
