Why "international" indeed? Unless, they are bringing in items from foreign countries like reverse import DVD covers.

To include other countries works as well? Which isn't a far stretch thing.

So since they were sitting on the announcement since at least June, is it possible they were waiting to see what a new govenment would do before they officially announced? It isn't a large leap to believe that Meiji University would not have wanted to compete with a national, government-funded center.

west,_tx_tapper, I think that might be the case. So, this is the essential Smithsonian Institute of anime/manga. One has to wonder how long it took them to fund and build it.
