And the [nerdy] reason I even have such a comparison shot handy is that I annually do a talk on "Science in Anime" where I show that the Asian "fear of losing face" causes them to LISTEN to their technical advisors far more intently and more often than is done in Hollywood, with the result that they often NAIL the science, or at least are close enough not to be cringeworthy!

LOL.

I had to look this up and it was very funny! Thank you for finding that johnb.

This anime is available on the Internet Archive. Here is the above described sequence shown in still frames.
