Hi, I had seen this new series, spiderverse style, pop up on Netflix and was curious if it meets the guidelines to be added to the DB. It's mainly promoted in japanese (primary language set), and doing a quick research it seems to be a coproduction with Thailand.
If anyone can disclose more detailedly the staff, it'd be very appreciated.

Hi, unfortunately it doesn't meet the DB guidelines. The series is produced at the Thai-based RiFF studio. Because of that it's not an eligible co-production, but a co-direction. As such it cannot be added.

Which is odd because ANN counted it as an anime ONA, although to be fair Anilist and AniDB doesn't count it as anime. Pop Team Epic had a segment that was animated by a French Studio and that still count as anime (not making this up, it was talked about on ANN's This Week in Anime article last month). Even Mamoru Hosoda's Belle had help from an Irish animation studio, Cartoon Saloon and that's still count as anime. What do you think going to happen if Netflix's Castlevania particularly Castlevania: Nocturne 3rd season Powerhouse Animation and Netflix decided to get MAPPA studio to get involve, and I say this because MAPPA did the animation for Ark: Lost Colony game teaser video, and the way they animate this animation looks a lot like Netflix's Castlevania:




I had people who thought the animation studio that did the animation for Netflix's Castlevania did the animation and not realizing that MAPPA studio did the animation. If Netflix got MAPPA to do Castlevania: Nocturne's 3rd season, does that make Castlevania: Nocturne an anime if MAPPA did the animation?

@mdo7 The rules here are dumb. Fully Chinese shows get listed on here, but not this show because it was produced in Thailand.

Well this is where it get problematic @fullmetalgarbage, you ever watched Final Fantasy: The Spirit Within? Yep, MAL (along with Anilist and AniDB) counted it as anime in their databases despite the animation was probably done in the US (Square Pictures, the studio that did the animation for the film was located in Hawaii. Oh, and English was the original voice, and the Japanese voice was recorded later). So how did FF: The Spirit Within get to be on anime databases despite the animation was done in Hawaii, and Tokyo Override which was a co-production between Thailand and Japan doesn't get classified as anime in the database?

That's the same question asked about why The Last Unicorn is not classified as anime, while the same animation studio that did The Last Unicorn was also responsible for Rankin-Bass's The Stingiest Man in Town (which has been classified as anime by MAL, Anilist, and AniDB). Topcraft, the studio that did the animation for both Last Unicorn and The Stingiest Man in Town would later become Studio Ghibli.
