I'd like this as well. I want to find chinese shows in a simple manner but I can only search them by names individually.

Merged two similar threads on this topic.

As some have suggested, the hope of the DB staff is to eventually have a "Country of Origin" field, yes. The Manhwa and Manhua types are actually restrictive on the Manga side. For example, what do you do with a Korean one-shot? Label it is One-Shot or Manhwa?

(Disclaimer: Mods don't decide what gets coded when.)

We're still waiting for this after 7 years.

Bump!

Yeah, I hope they'd finally let us search/filter by 'country of origin' (for both anime and manga DBs). So I wouldn't have to tag every aeni or donghua with 'Aeni', 'Donghua', or flags in my lists. I know we can enable the 'Type' column for our manga list to show 'Manga', 'Manhwa' and 'Manhua' but there's no way to filter by country of origin in the advanced search.

For now, we have these clubs:

Korean Anime (Aeni)
But they aren't that up-to-date.

Sorely needed, donghua is flooding the site and there is no way to filter them at all. Even in my own list it's impossible to see what's what.

Honestly I'm with the ones that believe animation from any country that isn't Japan shouldn't be on this site, anime stands for Japanese animation, just because the Chinese are copying Japanese animation style doesn't make it anime, if there's enough demand for it then there should be another website called "my donghua list" and/or "my aeni list", in the worst case scenario then yes I want a country of origin filter, cuz I'm here only looking for anime, and animes are Japanese animation.

Being able to search and sort by Country of Origin would be a huge win.

Please add a "country of origin" option to MAL.

I’d like to be able to set the country of origin to Japan and hide all titles I’m not interested in.

Right now, the site is cluttered for users like me who never watch or care about Chinese titles - especially CG Chinese titles that I don’t even consider anime.

AniList as an example:
