| On this website, there's heaps of anime listed, in this list of anime though, there are some fauxnime (false anime) as well like Chu Feng B.E.E and Fox Spirit Matchmaker. If these are here, why aren't series like RWBY and Chronexia and the Eight Seals? "If some anime inspired shows are here, why aren't they all?" is what many people have asked. What I have to ask is, if some anime inspired shows aren't allowed, why don't they have all anime inspired shows removed? It's probably my biggest problem about this site, and one of my only problems. |

| chinese anime is there because chinese manga is too; here is admin post on this topic http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=635001&show=80#msg24064451 all `fauxnime` you can think of fit the guidelines, while rwby and chronexia don't http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=141101 <- db guidelines if you feel any `fauxnime` doesn't fit the guidelines you can make an appeal here http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1510673 <- modification request thread there is a database site with an anime-influenced tag, namely hummingbird https://hummingbird.me/anime/filter?g=anime-influenced |

| Korean/Chinese stuff has been determined sort of a grey area. Everyone kind of accepts it on anime sites. Stuff like RWBY was created in America, therefore against the rules. |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| Because they're Asian I guess. and stuff like RWBY isn't. China, Japan, Korea. It's all the same :3 |

|
| Possibly because those shows come from Asia and since RWBY isn't from Asia it isn't counted? I really just don't know... |

| Honestly I'm split on having Chinese/Korean entries in the database. They're not anime, and it feels really silly to have just Chinese/Korean animation outside of Japanese animation, when they won't allow Taiwanese animation for whatever stupid reason. And why not Thai and Vietnamese animation? Are they really that different? In the end no, not really. Plus, not enough people even watch Chinese/Korean animation to warrant it being in the database imo. I have nothing against it myself, don't get me wrong, and it's still definitely just as legit as anime, but the lines seem to be so fuzzy that we might as well just have Japanese animation in the database. Unless, of course, it's a split production between Japan and somewhere else. But that's just me, and I know it's not gonna change. |

There are also many more titles that actually get translated to some degree. I'm not saying manhua and manwha should be removed as such, but we don't always have to have the anime database in line with the manga database. We don't allow Chinese/Korean novels AFAIK, even those on which works are based -- but I could be wrong, I'm not that familiar with the way the manga DB works. I also think lack of subtitles and most of the non-Japanese animation on MAL being for a younger audience don't help popularity issues. I know it sounds silly to say "nobody cares, why have it?" when people don't really care about a lot of shit in the database, but part of me feels like it's almost not worth having them. Then again I also don't agree with claymation/stop-motion animation being on here either, lol. |

| Just remember they also have Kanye West in the database too :) - OT: Anyhow, I honestly do not know why they allow Chinese/Korean comics but I'm not against them being on MAL. Kind of questioning why manhua/manhwa are on here but not other Asian comics. Though Vietnamese and Indonesian comics are pretty anew to the world. Also why don't they allow webtoons? |
| As long as it's from East Asia it counts. There are a couple anime on the database from North Korea which technically don't count, but for some reason they're allowed. I would personally be fine with adding French cartoons to the database. |

| i remember read this post somewhere.. too lazy to digging most of old suggestion thread... chinese, korea, and china allowed to databese because they use same kanji for anime and manga... hance why many western database for east asia entertainmen site got mixed about this as well (ann, anime planet, baka-updates, ETC).. not to mention many series are outsourching and joint project between them too... why taiwanese animation not allowed? yes, it still biggest mystery mal has, since they allowed north korean animation... probably just simply because no mods can works on it as usual (too much works)... why claymation/stopmotion is allowed? when the first this site make, they are not allowed too... it's around 2007 some people suggested about it since they are also animation and this is china/japan/korea anime/animation database no matter what kind animation and art style it is and it's accepted... why webtoon not allowed? no, infact webtoon is allowed! the difference is mal guidline using physical printing as determination which many web/digital manga fail at that.. not what kind manga is it... |

| Cause it's in the DB. Chinese and Korean stuff has been accepted for ages, I don't think it will change at this point. Too many years of work would be made redundant if you suddenly tried to ban them from the site. Personally I'd be for including Taiwan and other asian animation as well to make it more consistent, basically a site for all asian animation, but there's no way RWBY or TLA will ever make it on the site as far as I'm concerned. That would just be opening a whole new can of worms and people would start adding any cartoon they ever watched to the DB because if there are no more objective criteria like where it was produced it's all going to come down to someone, somewhere thinking of a random western show as an anime and insisting it should be added because he feels like that. Because 'it feels like that' is the only argument ever for including stuff like RWBY and TLA on this site. And nobody in the position of a mod wants to deal with a million series being added because someone within the millions of users of this site there is someone who 'feels' it should be added. No, I can guarantee that geographical criteria are and always will be the deciding factor because it's objective, relatively easy to determine and doesn't leave any room for arguments or interpretation. And that's the kind of guidelines a huge database like this needs. Not something where every single added entry gets discussed by a bunch of people who decide whether it 'feesl' enough like an 'anime' (or what they think defines anime) to be added. Anyone who disagrees obviously has no idea how to organize a DB without creating infinite amounts of unnecessary work. |
