how does this work? If a crystal defies gravity, wouldn't it have levitated into outerspace already? And how is a levitated city any advantage to live in, how does it even work? does everything levitate equally like on the spacestation or is there a simulated new gravity? Can things fall out of the city? People aren't going to like their hair being frizzy all the time or having to pee into a vacuum cleaner. I don't think this has been thought through, it sounds like it would be a whole lot of new problems and no real advantages. What are the advantages anyway?
Well it's just an anime; never saw it. If you're up above the clouds it's always sunny and never rains or snows. I suppose you could park it over the ocean and have your own laws. Food & water would be tough.
Yeah, I doubt this is going to be Musk's next big thing. :)

FWIW: There's a Japanese anime about a flying city held up in the air with a giant 'volucite crystal'.

Flying cars. Cold fusion. Moon colony. Whatever

Cold fusion brought the towers down. Moon is not terra firma (but this guy may not be aware).
