Or another reason for art schools discouraging anime/manga students is because there's no industry for the style in the UK. Which made me think after watching a video by Charlotte Sketches about by anime discouraged in art schools.

A degree isn't always necessary for an anime artist, but it will give you a solid foundation of traditional art skills.

Anime is type of a Japanese art form that includes drawing characters with vibrant colors and big eyes. Many professional art teachers all over the world disregard it as “ too easy” and do not consider it art.
Many would not consider Anime as a type of high-end art, in other words, fine-art, even if the work was done with traditional media. Nonetheless, it would be impossible to deny the influence of Anime in contemporary art, from Japan, its origin, to the rest of the world.
There are several Anime styles such as Kawaii, Realistic, Chibi, Moe. There is often a thin line between reality and animation. A balance between both is what brings out the creativity and beauty of the work done.
While manga and anime are not identical fields - manga can be loosely defined as Japanese comic books, while anime encompasses the breadth of Japanese animation - they have become synonymous with a distinct Japanese contemporary visual culture and aesthetic in the eyes of many media and culture scholars and ...
The Diverse Variety of Stories The wide range of genres in anime is the first reason why it is so popular. Every person enjoys a different story, genre, and style in anime! Romance, comedy, action/adventure, mystery/suspense, and horror are just a few of the many genres explored by anime plots.
The four most popular art movements are surrealism, impressionism, realism and abstract expressionism. There are many philosophies that are used when creating art that are often categorized into different movements.

The history of anime can be traced back to the start of the 20th century, with the earliest verifiable films dating from 1917. The first generation of animators in the late 1910s included Ōten Shimokawa, Jun'ichi Kōuchi and Seitaro Kitayama, commonly referred to as the "fathers" of anime.
In Japanese, "manga" refers to all kinds of cartooning, comics, and animation. Among English speakers, "manga" has the stricter meaning of "Japanese comics", in parallel to the usage of "anime" in and outside Japan. The term "ani-manga" is used to describe comics produced from animation cels.
An anime animator is a professional who creates a specific genre of Japanese cartoons. They create drawings by hand and use computer software to turn them into digital animations.
Anime is almost entirely drawn by hand. It takes skill to create hand-drawn animation and experience to do it quickly.
That may be because you are not learning a new style of an artist practitioner. Many schools teach students the fundamentals of art and art practitioners. Which the fundamentals of art and many of those practitioners go ageist the anime/manga influenced students style logic. Because it may clash with the anatomy (like we said earlier) coursing them to become confused, maybe it is due to the medium they use alongside the practitioner uses or that they don't feel that type of art is for them, before they try learning and understand the artist style.
From my research, I can understand some comments like “I can’t tell one student’s anime from the other.” This maybe because the art students may need more time and a wider range of artist inspiration to help further develop their anime influenced, art styles. Due to this fact it takes a lot of time to really narrow down a special individual style and I believe a student should not be pressured to rush through this process. Kind of similar to expressive landscape or portrait painters. They have a long process before finding a defining art style.
Whiles Anime is the Japanese film and television animation of sometimes the book or an original story.
An example of an artist that doesn't follow anatomy proportion is Picasso. His work focuses on cubism art style and he is artwork is known worldwide. Even being mentioned in art schools as a professional artist. However, this brings me to talk about the possibility of why art schools may discourage anime/manga art.
Also, the comment on anime/manga “hold no creative intention or meaning.” Once again, I do not believe to be true, since an anime/manga influenced artist puts a lot of creative intention and meaning. Where many of the times they create a mock-up of their piece and go through a process of developing the artwork feather, until they feel pleased they reach their creative potential.
To put it more bluntly and shortly, Anime in Japan was inspired by Disney's Artists.
It doesn't matter what ethnicity a person is when it comes to art, ever, smfh.
Since then, Anime has been evolving ever since it's first few creations from the Donald Duck cartoon they saw, and also managed to get artists licensing's once they could prove that their artstyle was a viable way of making money. Nowadays, you see SAO (Sword Art Online), and DxD HighSchool, Gurren Lagan, Pokemon, Digimon, Studio Ghibli, and most infamously enough, Funimation (because let's face it, not everyone likes them for what they do. Actions speak louder than words, after all).
One thing I feel many should also pay attention to are the backgrounds and not-so-foreground aspects of scenes, such as items placed on tables. Everything except the featured subjects within an anime scene, in a well-done anime, are actually very good quality watercolor-eque backgrounds. It's basic lines with a heavy dose of actual painting. The nature scenes of something like Barakamon may be a good example.
Stuff like proportion, anatomy and even lighting, since anime is mostly 2 dimensional. There is nothing wrong with drawing anime WHEN you already know the basics, but skipping them and going right into it is a bad practice that will make you a weak artist . Just look at painters like Picasso, Dali or others. Before they went into cubism and surrealism they already had perfect notions of the basics.
I've seen many 'teachers' saying that it is not art. I personally think that it is art and we got the right to think so. If someone paints something that looks like a 'mess' or simply a dot, then anime and manga is art!
