Yeah also Scott Pilgrim is from an established anime studio, with the director and everyone having established anime careers. I can't think of a reason why it shouldn't count.

How is this a western show? It's made completely by Japanese while Scott pilgrim isn't, simple as that, just because Netflix calls it anime doesn't make it one on mal

Janitor in the studio is an actual Japanese person, so it stays.

i know that it’s produced by a japanese company, I’m talking about how the shows targeted audience is western but it’s not on MAL but we have suicide squad isekai and cyber punk. I wouldn’t have said anything without that knowledge.

The hell you talking about this? This is an original suicide squad show made by Japanese, the show itself is made by one, source of the doesn't matter, there are dozens of these superhero shows on Mal, why this one specifically you don't like here? It's even more on the Japanese notion with the whole isekai thing than all those other ones

Because that Scott whatever the rest of the name is, is a story made by a Canadian, and even being made by a Japanese studio, it uses completely western style, I don't even count that as a anime. About suicide squad, sure, DC is a western thing, but the thing is, it's not the warner bros that is making it, it's the warner bros JAPAN, another division of the warner bros that works only in Japan, that with the addition that everyone involved in story, animation etc, is the reason of why this is allowed, scoot whatever the name is, isn't.

One is being made by a japanese studio taking material from a Canadian show and being influenced by the west, even in animation style.
One is being made by a Japanese studio, taking material from a original story of a Japanese division of warner bros, not being related to the west at all

How is this not related to the west at all? Suicide Squad are characters from American comic books. Much like Scott Pilgrim is based on a series of Canadian comic books. And I don't see why the influences on the animation style are significant, plenty of anime is influenced by western animation (and vice versa).

Scoot whatever the name it's a adaptation of the Canadian comics
Suicide squad is a original story made by warner bros japan, even using western characters as a base, the story is still originally from Japan, pretty much like cyberpunk. That diferençe alone is already enough reason of why scoot isn't on mal

Ok explain Cannon Busters, which is based on American comics, written and directed by an American, and released on Netflix, yet has a page on here. Presumably because it was made by an anime studio.

I will die on the hill that Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, My Last Day and even Otachan should be added to the website. Anime means Japanese animation, which they all are.

If we wanna split hairs about the writing team, Heidi was made in Switzerland and aimed at a Swiss audience, yet it's on here despite explicitly going against MAL guidelines about marketing. Pecola was completely written in Canada and directed by a Canadian, but is on here. Stan Lee has literally written Ultimo and Heroman, both directed at Western audiences, but they are on here. Deltora Quest was written in Australia and aimed at Australian audiences, but is on here. Ronja the Robber's Daughter was written in Sweden and aimed at Swedish audiences but is on here.

Probably the dumbest one ever is Tekkonkinkreet. This was completely directed by an American but animated by Studio 4°C. You know what other show was directed by an American but animated by Studio 4°C. My Last Day, but guess what, mods will not allow it for some asinine reason.

Except, Heidi was made by a Japanese stuıdio with a Japanese name (Arupusu no Shōjo Haiji) and also dubbed in JApanese and aired on Jaoanese TV. And you simply miss the fact an animation is still considered anime if it was largely produced by Japanese, regardless it's written or dirfected by non-Japanese. There are even anime that are co-produced with other countries but the production still largely belongs to Japan.

@Wartyh Heidi was completely written in Switzerland. I do agree that it is an anime because it was animated in Japan, but you should give that same luxury to Scott Pilgrim, My Last Day and Otachan.

Also funny how you only tackle one of the 7 anime I brought up.

You are wrong again, Heidi anime was written by Hisao Ōkawa, Mamoru Sasaki and Yoshiaki Yoshida.

It's funny how you are cherrypicking my comment and completely ignoring my explanation of your so-called anime examples. Since you have hard tine to understand what I wrote I will copy-paste it.

@Wartyh I agree with you. However that same luxury applies to the three other anime I mentioned. What backwards reasoning could possibly justify the fact that Tekkonkinkreet is allowed, but not My Last Day?

@Wartyh I'd also like to mention that Hisao Okawa simply was in charge of the animation of Heidi. The author was Johanna Spyri. Once again, I do believe it should be classified as an anime, but so should Otachan, My Last Day and Scott Pilgrim.

If not, then things like Super Crooks, Afro Samurai, Supernatural the Animation, or even freaking Moomin Valley shouldn’t be on here either. Mal’s criteria for what is anime and what isn’t is so freaking inconsistent.

lil bro, suicide squad had to be signed by people other than japanese people for anyone to have the rights so if anything they came first 💀💀💀 it doesn’t matter. Marvel has rights over spiderman. Marvel is an American company, although they wouldn’t created the anime, they would have to aprove it. that meaning, they’re involved with it weither you like that or not

Maybe read for it a little, there's something very interesting in Mal guidelines if you do
"the series must be made in Japan and for Japanese"
Scott pilgrim doesn't fit either criteria, whether a few of its staff has anime career or not
Suicide squad isekai on the other hand IS made in Japan, and for Japanese as you can guess from it being an isekai (something very famous in Japan), so don't just go into people's dms and call them a clown,you circus

Maybe read for it a little, there's something very interesting in Mal guidelines if you do
"the series must be made in Japan and for Japanese"
Scott pilgrim doesn't fit either criteria, whether a few of its staff has anime career or not
Suicide squad isekai on the other hand IS made in Japan, and for Japanese as you can guess from it being an isekai (something very famous in Japan), so don't just go into people's dms and call them a clown,you circus

bro still tryna say an american based show was solely made by Japan 💀💀💀

@Golden_Cheese

Simple, because MAL allows Asian based shows to be added to the database, but not Western shows with outsourced animation, Castlevania was animated by an American studio in addition to Korean btw.

It's Mal anime database guidelines, Here you will find your answer to why Scott Prilgrim Takes Off is not on Mal
@Aryu1410 alrighty, lets break this down cuz im actually curious now

1. It's animated.
yup!

2. It's created by professional staff in Japan for the Japanese market.
half yes, but actually full yes due to another rule

3. It's meant to be an animated work.
yup again

4. It's not an edit, cut, or promo of another animated work.
it certainly aint

5. Animated works must be created: in Japan for the Japanese market (anime)
in Korea for the Korean market (aeni)
in China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan for their respective markets (donghua)
as a joint production between Japan/Korea/China/Taiwan and another country, for both markets
hey there's that other rule i was talkin about! the next one is a bit trickier tho

6. Works must be produced: By reputable animation companies with professional animation creators in the country of origin. Joint productions must have at least one professional animation creator from I.1 in a key position with creative control over the production; e.g. director, script, storyboard, character design. If only the animation is outsourced to Japan/Korea/China, the animation is not eligible.

aha, the culprit is revealed! invader zim: enter the florpus had korean writers and animation outsourced to korea, but that isn't considered aeni and doesn't have a mal entry either. my best guess is that even though it's technically a collab between american artists and japanese artists, the show's production cast doesn't lean enough in the latter direction to warrant recognition as a proper anime. i actually didn't know spto was animated in japan before i saw this thread, so it not having a mal entry is likely due to a combo of westernized presentation and uneven division of creative control amongst those two groups. HOWEVER, if anyone can prove that there are japanese storyboarders or writers in lead positions working on spto, there's no other reason it shouldn't be on here
