How is this approved into the anime database, but not with 'Scott Pilgrim Takes Off' and 'Pacific Rim: The Black'?

@aburame_ernesto I'm gonna be honest, what I said was pretty concise, if that was too hard for you to read, then I don't think you're capable of actually holding a nuanced discussion. I have said everything I needed to and made my point more than clear, if you are too lazy to read the things, than there is absolutely no point in trying to convince you. This discussion allowed me to phrase my opinion in detail, and because of that, I see this as an opportunity I used for self-reflection, even if I wasn't able to make you understand what I was saying, I am still thankful that I got to think about these things and articulate my views. I suggest you start reading more, being able to engage in more complex discussions is a useful skill that allows you to learn in an entertaining way. Have a good one.

@Lucianael Thanks for being more concise now. Don't worry, I understand what you were saying, i just think you are wrong.

with traffic:


Which similar site were you thinking about? I'm sure there's news and image websites that are bigger, but they're also quite different in scope.
Image sites can get a big boost from google image search. Though this feels off topic.

@aburame_ernesto I'm just gonna do this bit by bit again:

"I didnt say "this database", i said "many of this database"."

I normally don't care about grammatical errors or spelling mistakes, but if you write "many of this database", the most natural way of reading it would be "much of this database" or "many parts of this database". What you were actually trying to say would be written "many of these databases", which means you not only used the wrong plural form of the word "database" but also used the singular form "this". You are allowed to make spelling mistakes, but you can't blame me for picking the more sensible way of reading your wrongly spelt message.

"Your only proof to say that anime it's a style it's one friend of you that call Avatar an anime; that isn't a proof."

Maybe this was meant to be exaggerated, if it was, it wasn't clear enough. Here is a comprehensive list of all arguments I have that anime is in fact a style:

- My friends call Avatar an anime, meaning they use the word "anime" as an indicator of style, not country of origin
- MAL has animated shows from China in their database, meaning that they use the word "anime" as an indicator of style
- If you google "anime" you will get a bunch of images, all of which largely share the same style i.e. anime
- If you google "アニメ", the Japanese katakana spelling of "anime", you will get similar results to the English search, meaning that even Japanese people see anime as a style
- If you google "アニメ" you will get images of Link Click, a show that is entirely produced in China, yet it is called anime.
- There are a billion search results for the term "anime style"
- Wikipedia (the most trustworthy source) calls it an art style (though it does mention alternative older definitions that call it animation exclusively from Japan)
- We are literally arguing in a discussion post that only exists because people think that anime is an art style

Just for fun, here are the arguments in favour of keeping "anime" as a term exclusive to Japanese productions:

- It is easier to catalogue
- People are lazy and don't want to change their mind
- "I don't want to think and need MAL to tell me what is real"

Well, that seems like a balanced discussion...

"Anime isn't a form of art; you dont go to some place to learn to do "anime", you just go to learn how to do animation."

Boy, I don't know where you got this take from, but please put it back in the oven, it's clearly not done yet. There is one very simple thing I need you to do right now and afterwards, I want you to apologize to every single artist out there: Open YouTube and search "anime drawing tutorial". Anime is a form of art and people very much do "go to some place to learn to do anime"

"Saying that japanese animation can only come form Japan it's being racist??? Thats weird."

No, Japanese animation can obviously only come from Japan, but "anime" isn't the same as Japanese animation. With anime being a style, everyone can learn to use it, meaning that calling it "Japanese animation" is in fact racist, because there are people from all over the world who use it. Imagine you are making a new Tetris game and then someone comes over and says: "Are you trying to make a new Tetris? But you aren't even Russian, you can't make a Tetris game!"
Yeah, I wonder how that could possibly be racist. Thats weird.

@Lucianael wtf did i just read? How is saying Japanese Animation as Anime racist when its the most common definition? You yourself believe Anime "is a style". The style is Japanese by default so a Japanese style so you recognize its from Japan. Anime, style, animation, drawing, etc, is clearly related to Japan so what you're saying makes no sense and its contradictory to your own logic at the same time. Also stop trowing word like racist when 1) you have no idea of what racism is and its more like you using the word to try to win argument 2) you're downplaying Japan's relevance in animation reduing it to a mere style 3) Anime is a Japanse word, it means animation but its just another word for Japanese Animation, everyone in the West associste it wIth Japan, even youself at some point as Japanese animation before or Japanese style as now, you are ironically closer to racism unlike the people [all of us] you're falsely accusing.

And I don't have issues with this series being here.
