In this class, I had a one-on-one meeting with the teacher to discuss my topic for the final assignment, which I had been considering since last week. I explained that I chose this topic because I wanted to make use of my advantage as someone from Japan and explore the differences between Japanese and overseas anime to make the project more engaging.
However, the teacher pointed out that my topic was too broad. Indeed, in terms of investigating the popularity of Japanese anime, my topic was too large in scope. In other words, I needed to narrow it down a bit. The teacher advised that if I am going to research Japanese anime, it would be better to focus on why Japanese anime has gained global popularity. This would narrow the topic and connect directly to what I really want to learn.
Based on this advice, I decided to focus on this theme for my work.
