| it's a good anime, i've tried adding it to the database but it's still not approved or added. |
FAQ said: I think Avatar should be added to the anime database. No, Avatar is not an anime. |
| why? what do you mean it's not an anime, be more specific..? |
| its in the FAQ because its been denied so many times. the reason that's usually given is that its not technically anime since it was made in the US. though ZinnKid (I think it was) provided several examples of other American "anime" that are already in the database. so I'm not sure what the real reason is. but I'd go ahead and give up on it, if Xinil was going to change his mind he would have done it already. |
macmac said: It was neither produced nor animated in Japan.why? what do you mean it's not an anime, be more specific..? Before people start listing the entries jacobpaige mentioned, we are trying to make a decision on where to draw the line with similar cases. We've had a lengthy discussion on it, but we can never seem to come to a conclusive answer. Anyway. |
| racist and lame. whatever. |
macmac said: How is that racist? Anime is by definition "animation originating in Japan." (From Wiki) So why would an animation not originating in Japan be considered anime? I'm not saying Avatar is bad or isn't legitimate animation, it just cannot be called anime.racist and lame. whatever. |
| I think this topic should stop by here. MacMac, i suggest you to edit your post. You are bound to offend people with that flame-bait post... Don't make your entrance to mal's something regretful. Avatar is not going to be added EVUR. Case Closed |
| Avatar was animated in Korea, and they where given more creative freedom. It's more Korean than American. But it doesn't matter if it's 100% american, since there are American anime in the db. The reason it's not on MAL is just that they don't want it here. |
ZinnKid said: Which ones might that be?there are American anime in the db. |

But it doesn't matter if it's 100% american, since there are American anime in the db. The reason it's not on MAL is just that they don't want it here. Avatar is an American production for the American market with no link to the Japanese anime industry. Thats pretty much why Avatar don't fall in a "grey zone" like some others entries (Gotham Knight for example). |

llxwarbirdxll said: Of course, but the difference here is that there is no Japanese involvement with Avatar.Most anime series, nowadays, are produced in Korea and China, anyway. :V |

| Avatar isn't going to be in the DB and that's the end of it. Saying non-japanese manga is in the DB doesn't help your case, since there are simply different rule sets for anime and manga at the moment (as there are categories for manhua and OEL and the like for manga, but not for anime).
