This episode's casual school attire suggests American influence. I cannot think of even one anime that lacks school uniforms. Ooops, cannot recall 1980s version's details but think it, too, was casual.

After giving the robot such a cold reception, Shibugaki instinctively turn to him for protection against the unknown.

If Tamao literally means "large eyes" , then his name of "Specs" in the 1963 ELV was correct.

[jeffbert]

Not Tamao, but 'Ome'; thus, Large eyes Tamao. (I think)
