National university to set up anime graduate course
Ever wanted a Master's degree in anime? Well...
Okay, so it's not really anime but animation ... which is still really cool. I predict students will be studying a lot of storyboarding techniques and art styles, including cel-shading or mixing in CG or other wonderful things we're seeing in anime series today.
Maybe these first graduates will become the newest animation directors or storyboard directors. Only sixteen students annually, the article says. Though I can imagine they'll have hundreds of applications.

You need to be like, a genius with ALOT of capacity and luck. xD
But, for us, otaku, that might be great.

Isn't animation like.... one of the worst jobs you can get in Japan? Or is graduating here giving you a head start from the graduates of animation schools? Like you may get a higher position?
And get paid better? I hope that happens.

So I agree; I'd hope that this degree would help them get a better income.
The animators recently formed a guild, didn't they? I wonder if there will be some future involvement between the guild and these future graduates.

Its funny because you guys have no idea what goes into learning to be an animator. Its fun if you really love it, its also a bitch.
And the fact that you guys are freaking out about an 'anime degree' when it is just a degree in animation at a more prestigious school in Japan. Yes it is exciting because they should be amazing animators... but wow.
