Why are chinese animated shows registered on this site?

First, you do know google is a thing and you can use that to collect easy information.
Thanks to that you would not look like a ignorant fool.

For something to be considering a Anime 2 things need to be done.
First, created in China, Japan and Korea.
Second it need to be streamed in either of the three countries.

When this have been done it can be branded as Anime.

Are you guys butthurt or what is going on that Avatar is not loaded up here?
As you don't know the rules of what can be branded as a Anime or not.

Just because you have a opinion about something dosen't mean it's a fact.
If you know don't like Chines Anime, that is far superior to a lot of shows that get released now days, just ignore them. No one is going to force you to watch them.

It's rather sad to see people this butthurt and it's reason too, why their popularity will not raise. As we have fools like you, that can't even try something out. As you have already made up a opinion in your head, that it's bad.

Thanks for the laugh MaL, it's nice to see that we have so many ignorant people here.
And that my opinion about Anime community being dumb is true, thank you very much.

I have never seen any Korean anime before I thought they only do webtoons.

Korea used to make movies ripping off popular Japanese IPs.

You guys do realize that a lot of the "Japanese cartoons" these days are outsourced to Chinese studios? Also a lot of them are produced under Chinese companies? So now what, remove all of those as well?

Maybe because chinese, japenese and koreans look the same

Only Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and now Taiwanese, are allowed on this database.

Idk why it is so hard to understand. I think the logic was something along the lines of many "anime" sites that had Chinese and Korean media on their databases or whatever, so it was all cool. I personally don't mind it really. It's not hurting anyone.

Also, imagine being a mod of the past using MAL only to hear that your efforts have become meaningless because MAL decided it would be a good idea to purge a huge part of the database. Talk about lack of respect for work.



Lol, this one annoyed me quite a bit even with what evidence I had to say that the short does indeed satisfy all the MAL guidelines. Oh well, an issue of the past now, the database has some consistency fixes now too so it isn't all so bad.

This topic has already been brought up multiple times in the past, just let it rest already and don't keep beating up the dead horse!!!!

People sure like to slander MAL a lot for things that aren't even exclusive to it,
go to literally any other Anime & Manga database site like Anime-planet, Anilist, Kitsu, Mangaupdates etc. and you will see that all of them have Chinese & Korean animation and comics listed on their sites, but you don't see anybody there complaining about it, it's only here on MAL that every so often a entitled whiny crybaby selfishly demands for their removal!!!

Even on pirate streaming sites (Even the biggest ones) you have a lot of Chinese and Korean animation, so you are a hypocrite for singling out MAL for something that basically EVERY Anime & Manga oriented site does nowadays!!!!

It's because there's demand for them, a lot of Anime fans watch these Chinese and/or Korean animations and read Chinese and/or Korean comics, while there is usually no such overlap with Western cartoons and comics.

Also saying that because MAL includes Chinese and Korean works into their database (That, again, every Anime & Manga database does, not just MAL!) than it's only correct that they add every other animated work from every country under the sun to their database is not only completely retarded but makes you look like a salty entitled little prick, period!

Then it wouldn't even be Myanimelist anymore and the site would lose it's original scope completely, devolving into a shitshow called "Mycartoonlist", where every shitty, gross and abominable Western caricature would be featured, if that were the case, many users, including me, would be compeled to move on to other Anime database sites!!!

Also, just straight up removing all Chinese & Korean animation and comics is not only incredibly selfish to demand but would alienate a huge chunk of the userbase who would leave the site for another alternative where they could actually list their reading/watching progress and completed titles.

If no other site would be doing this, then, yes, you guys would have a point, but as it stands, all i hear is selfishness and entitlement spouting from your mouths, that's just the truth.

I will, however agree that they need to be separated from Anime & Manga, having their very own categories and a way to filtre them when looking at the seasonal charts, because it's not fun at all to scroll through 100+ Chinese fantasy martial arts animations when compiling lists lol.

If they would be separate and had filtering options by country when searching for Anime/Manga and when looking at the seasonal charts, it would be perfect!!!

That's obviously a lie; the demand for American shows like Avatar and Castlevania leaves China and Korea in the dust.

EndlessMaria said:
MAL should remove them. Anime by the definition of westerners (MAL is an English language website) should be Japanese animation only. If not, then every animation would be called anime and listen on here.

Also MAL refuses to list some actual anime, such as the Rick and Morty shorts made by Studio Deen, just because Rick an Morty is a western IP (this was the actual response I was given when I asked about it). Yet The Animatrix and other Marvel and Star Wars properties are allowed. MAL has no standards at all.
