Apple Japan Shares Anime-Themed 'Behind the Mac' Video

Yes, they have large vertical Enter key that we never call “Return”, the same one we have in Europe. They also call your Option key an Alt key if I can recall correctly. But in contrast to our horrible short left “Shift” key that we have, they use a long left shift key like yours in the US. The Japanese layout is the best layout combining strengths from both the US layouts and the European layout. One of the reasons why I opt in to buy US layout keyboards is our horrible shift key. But I still can’t get used to the small horizontal Enter key even 20 years later. If I had a chance I would definitely prefer a Japanese layout here in Europe.

Thank You, I just had a look at the link above and realise how many keyboard lay out there are, which I had no idea.

Interesting. No doubt iPhone is absolutely, categorically smashing it in Japan. Mac computers? I rarely see one. Mostly foreigners. Most people tend to go for crappy (and I do mean crappy) Japanese Windows laptops.

I honestly find this Japanese anime stuff creepy. I really don't know what it is, the weird animation and the sudden jerky movements.

Makes me uneasy for some reason.

I do as well, vehemently. It's incredibly creepy and just wrong, and off. There's a whole cultural halabaloo that surrounds it to the point of deep integration into JP culture, to the likes of even big-****ed anime statues surrounding gas stations. Sure, that's cool - at a night club, but they normalize it like they're on drugs. It's just disturbing.

Then you have the "weebs" with the "waifus" or w/e the hell they're called with zero social skills and only pillows they'll ever get laid with.

And fundamentally, at it's core, I hate anime. Period. They take it way too far and some stuff that's out there makes you wonder where prisons are in Japan. And how they're easily escaped from.... psyche wards maybe, IDK.
