Several more colleges and universities around the US are set to offer

At New York University, a course entitled simply "Anime" promises to "explore the popularity of anime in relation to the cultural conditions of contemporary Japan and to the context of cultural globalization which is radically transforming the way audio-visual images are produced and consumed."
