As one of the emerging cultural industries, the animation industry has an immeasurable development prospect and value. With the great success and unexpected economic value of animation images such as Chinese Blue Cat and Pleasant Goat, Chinese people's awareness of the development of the animation industry has been continuously enhanced。In recent years, the development of the animation industry has spawned a boom in which more and more students choose to study animation and animation. In the field of studying abroad, a large part of them also choose to study animation and animation abroad。

The influence of Japanese animation can not be underestimated。According to statistics, more than 60% of the world's animation works are produced in Japan。Especially now, the main group of Japanese students were born in the 1980s, and it is not exaggerated to say that China's "post-80" generation almost grew up watching Japanese comics and animations。"Doraemon", "Mobile Warriors", "Gundam" and other childhood memories of this generation。

Many students cite studying manga and animation as their main motivation for studying in Japan。However, after these students broke through the language barrier, they encountered no small difficulty in finding schools to study animation。This is because there are very few Japanese universities offering manga and animation majors。Although some specialized schools offer related majors, they are slightly insufficient in the professional research of animation。

As animation is recognized by the world as a very representative culture of Japan, it has an increasingly huge potential for industrial development。In Japan, where the birth rate is plummeting, competition for quality students is intensifying。Some people of insight in Japan have seen the broad development prospects of animation。"If you leave animation to talk about the art of representation is obviously biased and unrealistic," the relevant experts have fully recognized this。

The first school to officially set up manga major is Kyoto Seiku University in Japan, the university opened manga courses in 2000, which can be described as the first "manga" into the university。In 2006, the university was upgraded from a junior college to a four-year undergraduate program。In that year, the number of applicants for this major exceeded the actual number of admissions 15 times, showing extraordinary popularity。Among them, foreign students from countries such as South Korea and China account for a considerable proportion。

The success of Kyoto Seika University has undoubtedly played a role in promoting the animation major to enter the classroom of Japanese universities。It is reported that from the spring of 2008, some universities in Japan will add animation majors。Nagoya University of Plastic Arts will open a manga class, and renowned manga artist Naoki Urasawa will be hired as a visiting professor。In addition, Gakushuin University, Tokyo University of the Arts and Osaka University of Electric and Communication will also open anime related research courses for graduate students。

Mr. Natsume Fuyuki, a cartoonist, is very impressed by the move of Japanese universities and graduate schools to open animation majors: When I was a student, I never thought that I would have the opportunity to teach manga at universities in the future...

At present, there are 15 universities in Japan offering animation majors, which undoubtedly provides a good opportunity for Chinese students interested in learning animation。At present, there is a serious shortage of talents in China's animation industry, and the animation education system is in urgent need of reform。Under such circumstances, it would also be of great benefit to develop the animation industry of our country to learn Japan's advanced animation education experience and technologies。
