just remembered how Neo Yokio isn't on this site
why?
it was produced by Studio Deen and Production I.G. with Japanese and South Korean production staff
and the excuse "it was created by Ezra Koenig from Vampire Weekend and written by americans so it isn't anime" doesn't work since Shelter (made by Porter Robinson, produced by A1 Pictures) is on this site
neither does the excuse "it's originally in english" since Afro Samurai is on here as well
kinda stupid imo, justice to neo yokio!


mal doesn't deserve this big toblerone

Well I mean I suppose it should be since studio Deen animated it. But I wouldn't say it's an anime.

2. The following entries will be automatically denied:
  • Shows where all work, aside from the animation, was done outside of Japan/Korea/China (e.g. directing, script, etc.).

Unfortunately many Wikipedia editors half-ass their articles when it comes to research (in case that's your reference), so it's not a reliable source.

The entirety of the animation was outsourced to MOI. The only staff from I.G or DEEN worth mentioning are Furuhashi and Nishimura, who are story-boarders. Storyboards just consists of illustrating cuts, composition, and character actions, that's it. For an entire production these two staff are the only thing worth mentioning.

Afro Samurai is an interesting case. Iirc the Japanese audio was planned, but the English one was done first and it just fit too well the producers decided to skip the Japanese audio and just released it with subtitles. It was still produced by Japanese for Japanese market though, unlike Neo Yokio.

Judgment call from mal staffs because this is clearly in the gray zone. Looks we will always bounce around shows targeted to western audiences each year.

Not that I care of since I won't be watch any of them but some ppl care.

Neo Yokio is one the most boring and yet one of the most memorable shows i have ever seen in my lifetime. Because of that the show should be on MAL.

my favorite new arbitrary bullshit thing is "made for japanese audiences" because it's completely subjective nonsense. A completely Japanese production can bomb in Japan despite being marketed there and find popularity abroad, and vice-versa. Who is to say if something is "made for Japanese audiences"? What criteria is used?

the admins should just admit their racist fetishization of things made "by and for" asian people. I wonder if any of them are even Asian, or live in Asia? P sure most of them are European lmao

Neo Yokio probably found more success among Japanese audiences than some shitty seasonal anime no one remembers.

@Nyron fr, the scott pilgrim situation is so baffling to me
stuff like "made for ___ audiences" is so incredibly subjective and impossible to concretely determine
i made this forum years ago, but most definitely scott pilgrim takes off should be on here
that is literally just an anime, made for anime fans
