* In the scene where Jane offers Daria a cheese log, there are names scrawled into the background in Japanese: "Yamato" (ヤマト) and "Harlock" (ハーロック). Both are references to works of anime/manga artist [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leiji_Matsumoto Leiji Matsumoto]. Since there's no in-universe reason for the text, it could be a rogue animator's secret tribute to Matsumoto. |
