That's actually kind of interesting. I can't imagine them doing this in the UK. I love it.

Why is it japan does all this cool shit that we wouldnt even consider?

This shows the popularity of anime in Japan. Anime lovers really appreciate their effort to connect with people and provide them necessary instructions. Instead of Making boring instructions, this is a cool way to communicate with the people.

Wow, a great and unique way to engage to people. Can take it further my using famous anime characters mascots to convey the safety instructions. Kids would love to hear & follow them.
