There are some Chinese-produced series included in the database, but it's usually after they have had a Japanese dub released. miracle star would like to have a word with ya, xd, but yeah, if available they add it with a dub but most of the time, raw |

Setsuei said: Phantomnocomics said: depends though, sometimes cartoon is associated with Goofy animations would you count a Hyper realistic drawing/animation of a human a cartoon? Yes,yes I would. Any animation no matter how realistic can be considered a cartoon. let's take it this to the new level woud you consider a motion based animation that's 3 dimensional in a hyper/photographical level based of your image a cartoon? |

tambi33 said: Whaddafug is this bulls*** reading this from just serves to confuse me... Anime (pronounced ah-nee-meh) is as Japanese play on the word animation; Japanese we this word to refer to global animation, it is the rest of the world that associated it with Japanese animation -and in some cases, following the stylisation of Japanese animation. Can it not just stay that way, 'cause it seems to be an irritating debate. EDIT? Sums up my point EDIT AGAIN? I think another point to be considered is: Is the source of the source material sourced from Japan etc. For example, a manga or light novel (this wouldn't work in all cases though) P.S. I have a feeling this guy is doing this for kicks, 'cause I feel stupid for feeling compelled to write something he just made it complicated it for the sake of*watch time* and revenue! |
Phantomnocomics said: let's take it this to the new level woud you consider a motion based animation that's 3 dimensional in a hype/photographical level based of your image a cartoon? Ok,I'll give you that one,at that point I probably wouldn't consider that a cartoon. |

| So MAL staff is now making up word definitions so they can have those Chinese animation in their database.Cool Well good luck adding all those 'anime' in your site.There're like 100 of them last year Just because it's called MyAnimeList doesn't mean that the database should consist only anime. |

UrbanSpaceman said: I do that, not to piss off weebs, but because it doesn't make sense that RWBY is considered manga but not anime, while Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within and Dragon Age: Dawn of the Seeker are considered anime.The definition of the anime can differ depending on how much weeb you are. I personally call anime all Japanese cartoons and non-Japanese cartoons using same style of animation (like rwby or castlevania). Just to piss off weebs. |

| For me, anime is a term for japanese animation. But everybody has their own meanings. |
| Anime is literally an abbreviation in Japanese that means "animation", the same animation that is used in English. A Japanese person might describe Disney cartoons as anime -- there is no difference. When ignorant Westerners imported "anime", they either thought it was an unique medium or conveniently ascribed it to such. But this would be like treating "persocon" as some kind of unique Japanese computer, instead of what it means, just "personal computer". We can also take the position that anime is now an English word that's completely divorced from the original Japanese-English word anime. The new English and non-Japanese word anime means specifically Japanese animations, supposedly, just like manga specifically describe Japanese comic books, and manhwa specifically describe Korean comic books. But those of us who understand some Asian languages are probably uncomfortable with this idea. When you write them out, that is manga (Japanese), manhwa (Korean), manhua (Chinese), it's all the same characters. And it's pretty ridiculous if you were to argue that "beautiful" only describes French people who are pretty, although ignorant people have described "Allah" as the Arabic or Muslim God. Following the same standard, we might as well say only Americans and British produce "movies", only Japanese produce "eiga", only Chinese produce "dian ying", and only Spanish-speaking countries produce "pelicula". Or we can be sane and recognize that anime referring to Japanese animation is only a convention, for convenience, and not a formal definition, so that if someone says Rick and Morty is anime, he isn't completely wrong, but you are a dick for arguing about it. |

True, but again, using that kind of terminology is not new at all, par example, etymologically speaking people around the world still refer to cacao as chocolate because that's how they adapted the word, or *Eclair* which means thunder to refer to the french sweet, it's simple, people now a days simply adapt words from other languages with no care for their meaning and only for their use and like said: convenience because that sound more comfortable and natural to them! anime is no exception to that, but the difference between this word and those is that the word is vague in its homeland, let alone a foreigner figuring out what it means in the spot! |

| MAL's application of the criteria for anime is the equivalent as champagne is to France. Yes, you can have sparkling wines outside of the region that are near equivalent but these wines are not champagne. Yes, you can similar styled animation in the North American or European markets, but on MAL it is not included as anime if is not targeted somewhat to a traditional anime market. Why does MAL use such restrictive terms? Historically, there have been three main reasons. One, many users do not consider animation produced for outside countries to be anime. To keep these users happy and the site focused, only these shows have been included. Two, there are database limitations and including cartoons with anime elements would significantly increase the scale of the database. This would increase the cost to MAL and require significantly more volunteer time from admin/mods which is already limited. Third, historically one of the purposes of this site (beside keeping track of what you have watched) has been to provide a resource for difficult to come by database information of anime/manga from Asia. Western releases such as those on Netflix are readily available for people to find and track. Whereas, some of my personal favourite manga and anime I would have never found without this site. MAL has continued to keep this focus rather than providing information that is already widely available. Ultimately, these are all valid reasons to restrict the definition of anime to what it is. You are mistaken in thinking that MAL has defined anime under such restrictive term. MAL has not defined anime at all. It has only defined what anime is allowed into the database. You are free to have your own definition, which many users do including myself. However, MAL as mentioned for the reasons above, will continue to apply the restrictive filter to additions to its database. |

| Thread locked MyAnimeList doesn't define "anime", rather it has guidelines to it's database and which anime are added. If you were to go after the japanese definition of anime then every single cartoon on earth would be an anime. These posts might help you with what's allowed to be added to the database: - https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1668815#msg52532383 - https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1668815&show=50#msg52578762 |
