| so, as a result of hours of discussion with the admins in discord about what qualify as an anime, and bringing up technical flaws in the definition of mal and the admins covering it up with new points never stated in the standard defintion, i came up with the most consistent definition of mal: an anime is an animated product produced in china, Taiwan, Hong Kong, north Korea, south Korea, Japan. note: if the show is not directly made from those mentioned places and fall into those technical aspects, read this: if the product is aired as an ONA, or in a foreign land Only, and the the staff are mostly not from those mentioned places then they will be disqualified, if it does have a mostly staff of the mentioned places, but does not have a JP dub with the exceptions for silent shows, or not based/related to a Qualified material from those mentioned places,that means dis-qualification, if the material is a web based and not made by a person from those mentioned places or does not have a JP version with the exception of visual only web material, then it does not Qualify as an anime. i decoded mal secret, i shall burn in hell |

| Whoa, are there any anime produced in North Korea? |
 Truly a Divine Comedy  |
| What did I just read? Anime is from Japan. We don't call it "Japanese anime". |
| Dude and i thought anime was originally produced in France. I'm so dumb. |
| No. Anime is literally cartoon. I don't care what neckbeards at MAL think what it means. |
| Ok, but I don't think anyone cares.. |

Shadow_Link said: again good for you you can keep believing in your made up info most likely to try to be funny but i or i think anyone for that matter doesn't care you are not helping your case by stating an opinion though, you could help by stating a fact?, you know what they say about assumptions look up, Yu gi oh capsul mosnters and compare it to ogrest the legend ONA made by Japan with No JP dub or relation to a material of that kind and Yu gi oh, a movie made by JP and aired in USA only with no JP dub but related to a material even if a filler and not an adapation of any kind like i said, i talked this over in discord while trying to add ogrest the legend, appreaciate the work! |

Only_Brad said: No. Anime is literally cartoon. I don't care what neckbeards at MAL think what it means. depends though, sometimes cartoon is associated with Goofy animations would you count a Hyper realistic drawing/animation of a human a cartoon? |
| 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. |
Phantomnocomics said: Monster said: What did I just read? Anime is from Japan. We don't call it "Japanese anime". not according to myanimelist, amigo, XD Ah, so I think I misunderstood the thread. Yeah, I think there are certain anime from America etc that should be on this site, but it also sets the precedent of what's anime and not. Keeping it to Japan or the country that produce the most of it should have their animated series labeled as "anime" and be available on this site. Heard China is pretty up there |

UrbanSpaceman said: 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. what a wise hermits, Imo but in actuality, the art style that was developed in japan during the post war era was inspired by disney works and made it into something new by the God father of anime, Tezuka, the creator of Astro boy and Kimba, ''what true liong king'', hence explaining the Big Eyes, and the trend continues to this day there is no definitive origin of the art style as art dates back to beginning of history itself, so it's better be said as a universal art style whether it be realistic or abstract but for the most part, Aeni/koreanimation, donghua/chinanimation, or anime/japanimation, animé/frenchanimation, all mean the same thing, animation in their respective language the use of term for foreigners differ in how they associate the word with its home of origin. hope this was a great response! |

| chinese animation called donghua, korean animation called aeni... just like there is manga, manhua, and manhwa... so i agreed that chinese and korean animation should included to database... they need to differentiate them tho... |

SadMadoka said: Nithirel said: Family Guy is still my favorite Anime.

| Just wait 10 years... probably even Western or Russian cartons will be considered Anime. heck, a lot of retards constantly ask if The Last Air bender is considered an Anime. And for that matter, why would anyone consider a f*** 30 sec TV commercial an Anime? Well, that shows you how desperate are some uses to pad their list with useless stuff. |

Netflix: produced devilman via a JP studio and licensed the material and got a JP Dub 4kids: Produced Yu gi oh capsul monsters via a JP studio and licensed the material but not a JP Dub difference between those two is that material owner intended to release it for the JP audience, while Konami didn't have an interest, so that falls in Konami lack of interest simple as that 4kids is an English Licensor, expecting them to release a JP dub is the same as expecting a JP Studio to release an English Dub, it's unreal. there was no release of a JP Dub. simple as that |

KuuhakuDesu said: I wonder if the recently announced High Guardian Spice will be seen as anime by MAL - since I believe many won't acknowledge it as such. If western anime becomes a real thing, MAL's definition of anime might need to change. that one!, Crunchyroll is launching a full assault in anyone who says it's not an anime!, watch out what you wish for! true that! |

Well, that shows you how desperate are some uses to pad their list with useless stuff. fun fact, a part of Japan is russian, so technically russian cartoons are anime, XDDDDDD but yeah, you are right |
| the real question is what are these taiwan anime |
 |
| All I know is that whatever the definition is, High Guardian Spice Girls is not an anime |

| if it's made by a japanese anime studio then it's probably anime |
 |
| Lmao after your thread about Charlotte and your definition of 'adaption' I doubt very much that any definition you come up with would ever be true to anything. But then again, nothing OP mentioned is really news, MAL has been using that definition since forever and I'm just confused why anyone would think it is some big secret they uncovered. I guess some people have a lot of imagination. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |

TheServant said: Thank you for clearing the mystery. Though that's one weird definition. Well, just like I always said, it's just MAL staff being MAL staff. Exactly, amigo, you nailed it. ''mal staff be lurking around'' |
| 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 |

i'm confused, how did he manage to make it so complicated in such a short time? it's simple, an animated complete product by/for japan/other ''insert'' |
