Good news for Anime students: The Tokyo Geijutsu Daigaku (Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music) is planning to start an animation course in the University to breed anime directors and researchers that will be able to perform on an international level. This will be the the first university in Japan where you can major in anime on a university level.

The Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music is usually considered the top university in Japan when it comes to music and the arts, so it does put a bit of academic recognition on the artistic value of anime. (via: http://zepy.momotato.com)
