kūsō kagaku dokuhon (空想科学読本) is a popular japanese book series written by yanagita rikao (柳田理科雄) researching the unreasonableness of supermen and robots in anime and manga based on pseudo-science made up by himself, his own presentation in the series of books he wrote is just as unreasonable as what he claims the works to be. yanagita made up numbers and settings just to make the works he criticized look incredibly stupid in a dramatic way, inserting incorrect physics equations into situations and making impossible assumptions where possible while ignoring the original reasonable numbers and settings. yanagita admits putting drama before science and accuracy, but continued to disguise the series as a scientific writing.
