Teraplan0409 said: Im pretty sure that's not an anime. Neither are Castlevania or Last airbender as cool as they are. I don't even know why this is a conversation. Chinese and South Korean animated works are not anime either, however they are listed here, almost as if they were. The former are called "donghua" and the latter are called "hanguk aeni". Therefore MAL does not have, or at least does not enforce, a "Strictly anime are listed" rule (since anime suggests Japan) but a broader "Animated works from the Far East are listed" rule, even if -presumably- that is not explicitly stated anywhere. I have no idea why animation from some other Far East countries would or should be listed but not American or European animation. Maybe because Chinese and South Korean animation often resembles Japanese anime or due to geographical proximity and/or a similar culture? I also don't know if animation from all Far East countries is allowed or just the above three countries. For instance what about Thai or Vietnamese animation? It appears, counter-intuitively, that at least Thai animation is not allowed. I just looked up the animated Thai film Khan Kluay (Blue Elephant) here on MAL and could not find it. Why not? Because Thais, er, do not resemble the Japanese enough? I can only speculate since the rules of the eligible for MAL countries of origin appear to be arbitrary.. Really? How do you account for this film then? https://myanimelist.net/anime/548/Wonderful_Days This is an original South Korean animated movie, or "hanguk aeni" (i.e. not a Japanese anime based on a manhwa or Korean webtoon) which also has been dubbed in Japanese. Wonderful Days, however, is not a "MAL eligibility exception" due to its Japanese dub. To my knowledge the Korean animated works below lack such a dub : https://myanimelist.net/anime/34048/Seoul-yeok https://myanimelist.net/anime/2141/Oseam https://myanimelist.net/anime/2756/Cheonnyeon-yeowoo_Yeowoobi https://myanimelist.net/anime/12035/Dwaeji-ui_Wang etc etc ... Like I mentioned before both Chinese and Korean animated works are commonly listed here but, as far as I know, they are the only two non Japanese "exceptions" that are allowed. If anyone knows of another one please let us know. |

It literally said in the trailer a netflix original anime. Because netflix likes to call anything adult "anime" and they see anime as a brand. It's a american adult cartoon and American produced. |

mxmlln said: How long does stuff like this usually take to get resolved? First off, someone should make an addition request. (I can't find any such attempt in the queue, although maybe I'm looking at it wrong.) But, given all the arguments here (chiefly, that it's made by an American studio), there's a 99.9% chance it will be denied anyway. So, if it gets "resolved", it will be as a clear statement in the "this anime will never be on MyAnimeList" direction. Really, don't expect to be able to add it to your list. It won't happen. |
Old_School_Akira said: Because netflix likes to call anything adult "anime" and they see anime as a brand. It's a american adult cartoon and American produced. You forgot the fact that the artstyle highly resembles that of Japanese anime. I don't think it's bad the Westerners are making similar content to Japanese anime. It should be viewed more as an hommage and I'm sure it helps in getting more people into the anime community. |

Sorrowson said: So? Do you consider marketing to be gospel? If I draw with crayon in a flip book, and call that anime, does it make it so? I already got my answer in the above post. |

cipheron said: Equally, I can sell you a cat and tell you it's a dog. Putting the word anime in there is only a marketing thing, it doesn't prove it "is" an anime under any specific definition. Anyone can just say "I made an anime" but MAL uses a specific set of rules for what's included. While breaking those rules doesn't hurt anyone, it would be bad for MAL's future since it would turn this place into a never-ending screaming match of "why not my show?" Think about it this way: if they caved to the ocassional "Add Avatar" threads do we think such threads would cease, or would people be trying to get hundreds of other pet-favorite cartoons added on the basis of "well you added Avatar so ..." So what MAL does is the clever thing of only sticking to a strict definition - this also prevents the mods from arguing between themselves about what to add/not add. Can you read the above posts?I literally said that I got my answers. |

| Bump Agreed. If Scissor Seven is on MAL so should Avatar, Castlevania, and Blood of Zeus. |
