The Tokyo Metropolitan Government has released a series of textbooks that teaches reader anime production.
The textbooks are a joint collaboration between the goverment, anime industry, and university with the aim of cultivating needed talent to promote the anime industry. According to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government:
We have a world-class anime industry in Tokyo that has consistently delivered high quality products around the globe, and has been the world leader in turning out a great many artists. However, there has been a lack of young artists possessing excellent ideas and ability to produce, which is due to what has become a situation where curriculums are not being provided to cultivate talent in the industry.
