of course i know what it means by "pending approval," but i'm wondering why it's taking so long. this is my first time of ever coming across something like this on mal, so i'm not sure how common this is or how quickly the approval process will be finished, but since it's been just about a week since i personally watched the special, i don't think there's any reason to not understand by curiosity. if anyone can explain what's going on, that would be much appreciated. thanks for reading what i had to say!

It's kind of annoying. I could understand if it was something obscure, but Gabriel Dropout is pretty popular.

It happens with quite a few things, mostly specials (eg, the Macross Delta specials).

It is quite annoying, especially when shows that have aired and people are trying to log/rate them, and can't.

In fact, I had a number of shows on my list, that were then removed because they were tagged "pending approval".

I wonder if there is a way to bring it to one of the admins attention?!

Its annoying. Surely there must be enough mods out there to notice this. And if not then maybe its time to employ some new ones (not saying the current ones are bad, just maybe there are more mods needed). Like said before, this isnt anything obscure and it has been airing already for over a week.

Interestingly, it lets you add it to your favorites. Thats what I've done so I don't forget that it exists

Mal takes as much time as they want to aprove something, if you are lucky it might take one day after it is anounced but other things might take longer like keijo specials that started on november and still aren't approved

Has anyone addressed it on the forum? Mods are fairly responsive there but I don't want to put a duplicate request in if someone's brought it to their attention.

Because this site is run by incompetent fools.
That's how I see like more than half of the MAL users with their "waifus", hentais, harems, weird-ass video games and all that shit
