Shown Their Work/Anime and Manga: Difference between revisions

** Later on, the [[Omake]] gets even more in depth, and starts discussing the [[Magic A Is Magic A|scientific mechanics of how the spells function]]. Or at least, how they would function if they actually existed.

** Then there's the time Rakan destroyed an entire dimension, and the volume's bonus material spends several pages explaining how the differences between Newtonian and Einsteinian conceptions of gravity and the nature of black holes made this possible.

* ''[[Planetes]]'', both in its original and animated incarnations, is nothing if not accurate to an [[Just for Pun|astronomical]] degree, up to and including the diaper-clad astronauts. NASA itself has plenty of ''[[Planetes]]'' fans among its ranks. Rumor has it that if someone actually built the ''Toy Box'' (the orbital garbage truck the characters use) as it appears in the source material and somehow got it into space ''it would work exactly like it should''.

* ''[[One Piece]]'' creator Eiichiro Oda frequently makes use of real-life phenomena in the manga, though he will occasionally play with whatever idea he's using and Shonen it up, so it doesn't match completely all the time. Some examples include the ''Going Merry'' acquiring a [[wikipedia:Klabautermann|Klabautermann]] spirit, and the real-life phenomenon of the [[wikipedia:Brocken spectre|Brocken spectre]], gigantic shadows being cast by people standing at high altitudes. Also noticeable are details concerning sailing, from how weather phenomena work to how the Marines give a backwards, palm-inward salute to avoid showing superiors tar-stained hands.
