What is the most scientifically accurate anime?

There are many anime out there that expect the viewer to pay no mind to the sometimes illogical and wavering details when it comes to the science involved. What anime shows the best reasoning and rationality for it's science?

This also begs another question. Do you mind poor/ridiculous explanations for similar things or does it not ruin your experience? I'll admit, sometimes it can go over my head, other times not so much. I suppose I take most of it at face value and not let it affect me all too much. But for the science connoisseurs, this may stain their watching experience altogether.

Most of the time I take it at face value mainly because I am too stupid to realize it isn't real science.

I'd say Planetes was pretty grounded in reality. That is probably how the future is going to be, with everyone joining the space race and trashing up the space around the earth with defunct satellites and space junk. So you'll need someone to clean it up, especially with the increase in space tourism, or else they might end up ripping any shuttle apart, since all that junk is traveling faster than a bullet. Hence the "space janitors" in Planetes.

Well Railgun is scientficly accurate most of the times, but aside from that nothing really pops into my mind right now.

I don't know. Dr stone comes to mind but it has also done a few errors in stone wars but I guess season 1 was 100% accurate.
Cells at work franchise comes to mind too.

It's got to be Dr. Stone because the things they teach are actually scientifically proven to be accurate

Cells at works, I am not from bio field so I learned few new things about human biology, which was interesting and fun.

If it's not High School of the Dead, then I don't know what is.

Cells at Work is pretty well researched.

Space Brothers is probably the most scientifically-accurate that I've seen, as far as anime that actually deals with scientific accuracy goes.

I don't really care about whether an anime is accurate as long as it adheres to its own internal logic. The only thing that maybe bothers me sometimes if the writers try to use something they don't understand as an explanation and it becomes painfully obvious that they didn't know enough to write around it. In those cases I honestly wish they just made up a McGuffin instead.

Probably Dr Stone in terms of scientific exploration but we already know the inventions are pretty much ideal use case
