The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms, the Giant Claw, The Horror of Party Beach, Them!, The Deadly Mantis and others would like a word about how their death counts and destruction are overlooked. So would the various American Godzilla movies, and Cloverfield.
The biggest difference is that the Army moves fast in US movies, where the JSDF is always waiting until the last possible moment.
Not the Boo Box!
