Don't anime directors/writers/designers/keyframers/animators usually study in majors broadly defined as art? Also composers certainly have some kind of music education.

you already mentioned philosophy
no, what you're supposed to do is not be such a fucking hate filled autist and disscus like a normal human being their field of interest, and generate mutually academic conversation. anyone with any bit of respect for academia should be able to do this. shame on you. get out of your elitist bubble phase and grow up, you immature child. I study pure mathematics by the way, and I never look down on anybody for studying anything which you would classify "liberal arts". rather I try to help them to be the best they can be in their studyings by asking questions, from the naive perspective.
So then why the fuck does it need to be taught in colleges?

Because if teaches you how to think, which is something you clearly hasn't learned yet.
The only thing separating us from the beasts is the Mediterranean.
I find it funny how so many people shit on liberal arts degrees because they have more free time than STEM majors. Both do require a certain amount of originality, but in the end, both work using things that have been created or discovered by greater people anyways, and your average student will not create a breakthrough, and just barely understand what they're doing - enough to get by.
And then, there's the people that laugh at them because they will be "working in Starbucks." However, this is only the case because the pay floor is indeed different for liberal arts and STEM, but I've seen plenty of brilliant graduates of the former get extremely good and well payed jobs. This is because a degree is irrelevant to most jobs anyways, while the quality and skills of the person working is more important. So in the end, it is the insecurity of the STEM majors that reeks when saying such a statement, where they're automatically assuming they don't excel enough to be able to work on the top paying / highest skill required jobs, and will for the most part be stuck getting a pay floor job attached to their degree.
