I really took this class because I heard it was an easy GE and my friend was so into anime so we decided to take this class and can I just say, it was one of the easiest GE's I've taken in UCLA. Sadly professor Kanesaka is transferring to another university to teach anime, but I'm more than happy I got to meet him and be his student for 6 weeks while it is COVID season. I have heard that all other Japan 75 classes are exactly like his class where the final and midterm are papers so I would advice you to take any Japan 75 class. All you do is watch anime films the professor assigns you to watch, write a discussion post about the anime you watch and that is it. Again the midterm and final consist of the themes you see in this animes. Really fun class, I recommend this class 100%.
