Tokyo University to Teach Anime

Japan’s Yahoo News has reported that the Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music, regarded as one of Japan’s finest schools for the arts, is developing a curriculum specializing in anime production and research.

While other Japanese universities including the Kyoto Seika University offer courses in manga and anime study and production, and the Bunkyo Gakuin University, Hongo Campus currently offers public seminars on anime history and production, this new curriculum at the Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music will be Japan’s first university to offer a major in the study of anime.
