| Speaking from experience, it depends what mod you get....... A lot of them are ass backwards. Each and everyone of them has their own definition of "anime" or "what deserves to be on MAL". I've submitted many edits, and used to submit a lot of old school anime, characters and pics to go with the old school animes I tried to put on here. One mod will say somethin beyond stupid like "For X and XX reason it doesnt need to be on here because of X" and another will just okay it and say thanks for adding what we are missing. Even so far as fixing a misplaced pic, or changing a sequel to an adaption or something like that gets denied when its absolute truth cause they don't wanna believe it themselves or research it after I did all of the research for them. I legit gave up giving community edits and shit. |
Seitaro11 said: adffeaf said: You already refuted your argument by saying Afro Samurai is anime and it obviously has Japanese dub. It's adapted from a doujinshi manga after all. It doesn't have one. You can easily check it if you browse the cast for Afro Samurai on MAL. And source material doesn't matter at all. But it still satisfies the criteria of aiming towards the japanese audience, even with no Japanese dub. The original show was TV broadcasted on Wowow. It used to have a Japanese anime site, although now archived. You can find it on the wayback machine. [ https://web.archive.org/web/20070103000000*/http://www.afrosamurai.jp] |

Adnash said: Yubisoft said: But anime is literally Japanese cartoon, what are you talking about Some people are delusional and think that calling Japanese animation as anime by people from outside of Japan will magically make Japanese people think that their own word to describe animation should have its meaning changed in Japanese languege, lol. My thoughts exactly .Couldn't have said it better |
here is your answer sir |
 |
| This whole thing of being intended for a Japanese (or whatever) audience is pretty subjective and stupid in my opinion. Yes, you can argue that something can be aimed at a certain kind of audience or whatever based on what language it comes out in or where it's released first, but primarily the anime industry is a business and their shows are meant to be successful, not to cater to someone's culture or sensibility. A lot of Studio Ghibli films for example are given wide releases in the west by big companies, it wouldn't be a stretch to think that Studio Ghibli made their films without at least in part considering audience outside of Japan. Disney and other Western animation is also pretty popular in Japan, to a similar degree that Japanese anime is popular in the United States (source: https://scholarworks.wm.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=5856&context=etd). I don't blame MAL for the definition they've adopted, as you have to draw the line somewhere, but I do think this definition is nowhere near as objective as some think it is, hence all the confusion. |

| https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=141101 Check this first and see if Rick and Morty follow whatever is in section I. But Rick and Morty is a strange case because I still believe it should technically be in the database. But when I asked for mods to look back on it (I also provided many reasons and evidence as to why it should be allowed), the response I got was: MAL Admin said: So long story short, the main reason Samurai & Shogun wasn't accepted is because the special is not available on Netflix Japan. There's not enough focus towards the markets mentioned in our guidelines. Regardless, what's the matter with Cyberpunk being in here? Hurts no one lol. ppl seem to like this too. |
| At this point I think the MAL mods are just fucking with you specifically since you're the only one who's constantly complaining about it. This is my headcanon on MAL lore now and I find it hilarious. |

  |
| Because the studio Deen's Rick and Morty is a short. So it doesn't count. And it's American-based. While Cyberpunk: Edgerunner is a full fledged show. Japanese-Based. |

Unfortunately itll probably mean i get banned again, or theyll just delete the entire thread and pretend it never happened. |

The point about Netflix makes no sense, since it's a YouTube short - I don't think these were ever streaming over there. The Japanese website for Studio Deen has a page mentioning the short and providing updates when it hit certain view count milestones. https://www.deen.co.jp/works/ram And Deen Digital posted an announcement, with a video link, the very day it was uploaded: https://www.deendigital.com/2020/03/30/rick-and-morty-samurai-shogun%e3%80%80%e5%85%ac%e9%96%8b%e3%81%95%e3%82%8c%e3%81%be%e3%81%97%e3%81%9f/ It is very debatable if an audience should be inferred based on the channel's country of origin if the video is accessible to everyone. Just browse the YouTube comments and you will see some from Japanese accounts. Additional Japanese notices of the short: https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%AA%E3%83%83%E3%82%AF%E3%83%BB%E3%82%A2%E3%83%B3%E3%83%89%E3%83%BB%E3%83%A2%E3%83%BC%E3%83%86%E3%82%A3#%E3%82%B9%E3%83%94%E3%83%B3%E3%82%AA%E3%83%95%E4%BD%9C%E5%93%81 https://kai-you.net/article/80039 https://www.drive-music.jp/music/works/rick-and-morty |

| What a clown, bait post to call the attention. Anyways, maybe they are arbitrary in what they consider or not anime and to them, that trashy Rick and Morty anime isnt good enough or doesnt comply all the requeriments to be here. |
| Rick and Morty doesn't have a loli. Cyberpunk does. |
 |
| A nice dose of hypocrisy goes a long way. Good job MAL, I'm not being sarcastic either. |

| Their justification for exuding it was that it wasn't made for a Japanese audience...but neither was Housing Complex C, which is also in the exact same boat as Rick and Morty(notably , the fact it has never aired in Japan) but it has it's own MAL page. |

| The Rick and Morty short films are produced by Deen, Telecom Animation, and Sola Entertainment. They're all Japanese studios, and the main staff reflects that. It's an anime. Who cares if the target audience was North America. Japan has access to them from Adult Swim's YouTube channel. It makes more sense for it to be in the database than Chinese and Korean productions that have zero Japanese input. I think it meets more than enough requirements for leeway. The 10-episode series is being directed by Takashi Sano who worked on 2 of the previous shorts, and produced by Telecom Animation. It appears it's gonna be just like the previous work. So far, I'd say the series could also be added. Hell, both the series and short films are on AniList, and their database is always lacking compared to MAL. Well, not in this specific case. |

| Gotta draw the line somewhere, there are many "cartoons" made in my country which had little collaborations with jp studios, with some doing 99% of the work. So why should western trash be so special to get an entry in an anime database. If you want every animated entry in the world maybe check smth like IMDb. |

| @YoshiYogurt Wdym! They allow recap movies!! but not recap episodes and the bunch of worthless stuff, and that's one of the things I like about Anilist. |
| Arcane is the best animation series ever, I can't for season 2 this year. I don't like Netflix, but here they cooked. |
