[Long Cut]

Yep, the effects wizards in Japan have often said that water, fire, and smoke are the things that give them the most headaches, because they always betray size.

The size effect in water is mitigated by using a small amount of soap in it. It seems to cut down on the effect.

They also use some CGI to help, at least in the 2000's. Due to budgeting constraints, they have been unable to use it as freely as American producers.

Hey, if you find something that makes water look "smaller" if added, sell it to the Japanese!

Destroys surface tension, thus producing very fine droplets.
