It's funny because for my book report for English class this year, I did the Fruits Basket manga and my teacher actually approved it. I ended up getting an A+ but I wish I could do more anime/manga/Japan related projects for my other classes, too. That’s a nice article.

In the UK generally there is some interest in anime as an object of serious study for intellectuals - though it depends which intellectuals you ask, of course! Academics who reject the idea of a restrictive 'canon' of works which are the only ones worthy of study are worth pursuing here. Because of my expensive (and therefore extensive) education, I've always been up for applying academic concepts to popular culture as a kind of amusing parlour game anyway. Most notably recent months have me recommending Code Geass to my friends as 'a work which makes use of elements of Aristotelian tragic theory' (specifically hamartia and anagnorisis).

Judging by the pace of technological innovation, within 30 years we may get a totally new medium of entertainment that may make anime totally obsolete, depriving the genre of chance of immortality on par of many classical literature.
