Not 'an'. All of the art teachers I've had in my life hate/dislike anime.
I've asked other people from other countries, their art teachers hate anime too. In particular, one said that his anime teacher put up a pic of Goku (surprise?) and told everyone that if they ever drew like that they would always fail as an artist.
For a while I thought it was only a few, one or two, but after seeing the results of further inquiry it's got to be more than sheer coincidence.
Thing is, the art teachers also tend to be very partial towards Western animation (liking Pixar and Disney in particular). I find it strange, it's like their opinions are mirrored images of otaku (omg cartoons sux anime roolz v.s. omg cartoons roolz anime sux).
