In a way this is both good and bad. Always good to teach people willing to learn, but it also seems some people in Japan have mixed feelings about teaching "outsiders" a form of art that originally began in Japan.

There's other groups attempting to do the opposite:

One of the reasons that the Agency for Cultural Affairs is supporting this initiative is the concern that more of the Japanese animation process is being outsourced overseas — thus leading to a decline in opportunities to teach animation techniques within Japan.

Well it's bad for them. Actually, I don't see how this is bad for them. Is it because their art won't be unique anymore or something?

I think these people should stop being selfish.

Also, hopefully this will spread into Malaysia too.. Art students are treated like second class citizens there.

I think they're more worried about losing their jobs to overseas.
