I figure if Nagao Takena claymation shit is available on this website they should at least be able to add Thunderbolt Fantasy.

Don't we also have a bunch of puppetmation stuff made by Kihachiro Kawamoto?

MAL doesn't qualifies puppetry as animation, so it was removed (check december 06): https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=140439&show=390#msg58502114

dumb as hell.
Puppetry is still "animating" an object, and fits the whole "illusion of life" description of animation. Like yeah I get it on a technical level, but on a philosophical level it's the same thing with different tools. Also watch a fight scene in Thunderbolt Fantasy and just try to say it's not anime as hell.

I get it but it sucks.

There is cgi and other special effects like green screen. So... its a collaboration of animation and puppetry so in a way yes its a animation hybrid. So it should be added on MAL. I'm too lazy to bring it up, but yeah I'll keep it in mind for now. haha

Came here after noticing an awful lot of Chinese animations in the catalogue.
We're opening the floodgates, but when it comes to an actually decent show it's a no because "it's not anime".

How about letting in American cartoons next? They're more "anime" than Thunderbolt Fantasy by these metrics.
